The before and after effect of 9/11 on American culture is interesting to me

>2000miles away a thing happens
>not attending life

Just the tone of things, ripening to cynicism

Not that I remember before

People didn't care about the event, they cared about themselves

At my school I mean

The best thing is to avoid Geo. Washington's advice to avoid foreign entanglements.

Then we spent months talking about the Ottoman Empire...

Instead of American history.

Speaking of this kind of thing how bizarre is it that officially we still don't know why the largest shooting in American history happened

And no one cares or is talking about it

I meant "follow" Geo. Washigton's advice

Talking of course about Vegas

Vegas...someone knows the truth...bugs me there is no resolution.

Comped sushi...think about it

Comped (half joke meme)

9/11 is my earliest "world event" memory. I might have a false memory of Y2K but idk. My parents tell me we were at Pierre Trudeau's funeral but I was too young

Y2K...I remember an IT guy I knew was patching computers for months with a floppy

I do distinctly remember the beginning of the Iraq war

Because my dad was massively against it

All he talked about

my parents were probably for it. damn boomers

My dad is a boomer!

But a leftboomer

I saw people for and against...I had cognitive dissonance because I was against it but everyone I knew who was against it was a lefty... I didn't comprehend that fully

Left and right is inadequate framing

Sometimes if I say something about economics or the environment people are like oh so you're a lefty huh

Tbh still see eye to eye on those issues with my parents, it's the race and social stuff that they're mortified by

"where did we go wrong with you William!?!?!"

My Dad almost died on 911. Luckily his Staff Sergeant was lazy and booked a later flight.

woah

oh man Y2K, how could i forget about that one

Yeah. Now that guy is my neighbor. Good thing he really likes Scotch and didn’t wanna be hungover on a plane.
