What were you doing in 1983?
I didn't exist then.
shareWorking at a desk job.
A computer that looks like this: https://images.app.goo.gl/aSqayrynVuDD621LA
shareMost of the work was still paper based with microfiche as well. There was an early computer there but I didn't use it.
Senior year of high school
shareSecond year of University and having premarital sex as much as possible.
shareHawt! Right around the HIV/AIDS scare.
shareThere was no HIV/AIDS "scare" in 1983. Back then, AIDs was still seen as this isolated thing that was only happening to a tiny fraction of the population (gay men). HIV as a term didn't exist then, either, because no one who was infected lived long enough to have any kind of pre-AIDs status that could be given its own name. You simply "caught AIDs".
shareIn 1981 is when the CDC recognized it. But you're right.
sharethat came a few years later.
shareAlso not existing.
shareCrawling around on all fours. I still do that sometimes in my basement.
shareWhy just the basement lol?
shareBecause it's a special place where special things happen. You can always come over and see for yourself.š
shareAwesome!We can race each other on hands and knees. I still hold the record at my old preschool.
shareMy whip and I will make sure you're gonna beat that personal record!
shareYipes! Sounds fun. Iām there.
shareSee you Friday night!š
shareSounds good. Ill start walking in a random direction after work on Friday in a standard military search pattern looking for your place. I figure I can cover a square mile a day, so depending on how far you are from the Chicago area in the US, it could take a while.
shareJust follow the long line of people leading to my front door. You better bring along your inflatable armbands because you probably have to cross a few bodies of water. I'm sure you'll find your way to my basement eventually. Good luck!š¤
