my first stepdad is what we’d now call trans, but in the very early 1990’s they were “simply” a gay man divorcing my mom who wanted also to be a woman. (90’s thoughts a ten year old me would think at that time)

i have not seen them for a very long while and i’m mid 40’s now. But from that marriage I got my brother. And I never clashed with that step parent. So I’d like to think if I saw them in the grocery store I would be able to recall fond memories.

From what I know (brother also lost contact with them) - they transitioned and are doing fine. i am glad for that.

Dunno why I rambled. Post just brought back good memories. Maybe I just miss the 1980/90’s. Sigh.

which nations have we seen fall exactly? they start to run together.

[-] Shadow_Glider@piefed.blahaj.zone 23 points 5 days ago

The only one I can think of after 2000 is Yugoslavia (2003) / Serbia and Montenegro (2006) depending on how you count it.

[-] Gonzako@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Wait montenegro is gone? What happun?

[-] renzhexiangjiao@piefed.blahaj.zone 18 points 5 days ago

"serbia and montenegro" is gone, it split into "serbia" and "montenegro"

Also the .io TLD disappearing because the British Indian Ocean was given back to the people of Mauritius, and they're changing their country name in response.

Not quite the fall of a nation, but more like the last vestiges of a long dead empire finally collapsing.

So an & got executed? Damn.

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Got fuckin schwasted last night, last thing I remember Montenegro popped a Zynney and said they were going for a walk. Haven't seen them all morning.

[-] teslekova@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago

Probably the USA soon.

The USSR

[-] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 5 points 5 days ago

The USSR fell before 2000.

[-] Quokka@quokk.au 13 points 5 days ago

People born before 2000 were also around before 2000.

[-] DomeGuy@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

You need to be at least 35 if not 40 to remember the USSR.

Humans forget the first few years of our lives.

[-] Quokka@quokk.au 7 points 5 days ago

Yup 35-40 years ago was before 2000.

[-] MycelialMass@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

I did the math, it checks out

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

But so was 27 years ago. As such before 2000 is not equivalent to seeing the fall of the USSR.

[-] Quokka@quokk.au 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Seeing the fall of nations, does not mean seeing the fall of all nations.

It is perfectly valid that many of us born before 2000 saw an event in 1993. Why people argued against this is weird.

[-] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I may have read it wrong. I suppose it is ambiguous whether all or merely a subset of people born before 2000 are meant, though the correct statement is obviously more plausible if you weren't looking at mathematical formulae 30 seconds prior 😅

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

was born in the 1970’s. can confirm I remember the USSR. 😂
