I still wear hip huggers in 2020. I feel so old now!
I maintain my posture on 1983 being a terrible year for humanity. I remember when I was 4 years old and AIDS was a huge issue. My mother would make VERY clear that I should never ever pick anything from the ground at the playground. There were needles of people who broke into the park at night to consume. It is one of the few memories I have of my early childhood.
