Ttue, but some of the scientists and engineers involved were young adults (older boomers) at the time.

If you already aren’t fucking, then deciding to not be on birth control really doesn’t change much.

There are many reasons to take birth control besides contraception. My tubes are tied so I don’t need the pill to prevent pregnancy, but I take it because I suffer from premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), which is like PMS on all the steroids. Two out of every four weeks were hell. I’m 42, so yes the risk of blood clots is elevated, but the benefits are amazing. I take it continously, it has no negative effect on my libido or ability to finish, it doesn’t make me gain weight, and because I skip the placebos I never have a period. I don’t have the rage and despair; I don’t have the bloating, aching, nausea, lightheadedness, and cramping; I don’t have to plan my life around bleeding; and I never get surprised by an early period (which became a huge problem because of perimenopause).

I know I’m a sample size of 1 but I really can’t say enough good things about my pill. I wish I’d gotten on it sooner!

You gotta escape them with a backslash.

Classic Rock. Civil rights. Moon landing. Birth control and abortion. Counterculture and peaceful protests making it OK to be a dissident. Making pants way more commonplace for women. And mid-century modern design.

I know it’s trendy to hate on boomers, and a lot of them are out of touch and have gotten more close-minded as they’ve aged, but there was a lot of good that could be laid at their feet as well.

I mean, I have an odd number of leg pairs. You probably do too?

Aaahhh that’s so cool!

I remember not liking Crystal Clear Pepsi because it didn’t taste as good as regular Pepsi, but everyone was so stoked about it that I was afraid to say anything and look uncool haha

• Pepsi Kona
• McDonald’s Arch Deluxe
• Orbitz (always thought it was gross but it looked fucking cool)

The Arch Deluxe was so goddamn good. When it first came out I would walk to McD’s with my sister like twice a week to get one. We weren’t a fast food family but that was just too good to pass up. It’s a good thing I was in high school with a young person’s metabolism then!

I’m not a smoker but I used to smoke socially before they banned cigarettes in bars. I can attest that a first-thing-in-the-morning smoke feels so great. Better than a smoke at any other time of the day.

I’m from the US and I only know about Truth or Consequences from Doctor Who.

Finding a nudie mag in the woods

What a sweet tradition! 😊

Ohhh-ohhh here she comes

Or if you have tiny little lady hands like me, a cassette and a pinky finger.
