      I agree. I don’t need a historian for this. I remember it, and yeah it definitely wasn’t perfect. But I am not convinced I’m sugar coating it through retrospection. Mid to late 90s was peak civilization as far as I can tell.

          I do if I’m phrasing it like that.

      I’d prefer a few years earlier, the 90’s was rad dude.

        The HIV epidemic was something to behold!

          By the end of the decade (1999), it was estimated that around 34 million people were living with HIV/AIDS worldwide.

          As of 2021, the number of people living with HIV globally was approximately 38 million.

          Let’s go back and spread awareness and condoms dude, then we smoke a blunt and do 90’s stuff!
