"STEM majors are stupid and bad and evil b/c they've never taken a single humanities course" is definitely a take
sometimes this argument makes sense but then sometimes it comes across like they think "humanities courses" are some sort of magical panacea that will fix whatever made-up problem they're complaining about.

so I think part of why I love reminiscing about 90s American kid culture is that it helps me find & focus on those shared threads, as trite as they themselves may be. helps me feel "included", retroactively.
a big part of this is how disconnected from the culture I felt growing up as an immigrant. took a while to learn English, mom never let me eat the popular junk foods, I was the kid who brought weird lunch, dressed differently from the others, was awkward & autistic as hell, etc
for others, it's a way of connecting to the culture & feeling included. I don't miss Dunkaroos, nor do I miss my childhood, but the Dunkaroos remind me of my childhood, and knowing that many others feel the same way helps me feel more immersed in the shared culture.

@jordanbpeterson I mean if your ideas fit neatly into the mouth of a supervillain you might wanna take a moment and think about that.
