@lardmotel oh I'm not obsessed I'm just . troubled by the term "1900s" and how it sounds so last century, but last century is the one with Queen Vicky and cholera and steam trains isn't it?.. isn't it?

@lardmotel well I do like* that comparison with the 1920s I've seen kicking around. You know, the one where the financial markets are getting a bit out of control and autocratic dictators are on the rise while the rich take drugs and party, like it's 1929.. or something like that..
