If she is 81 in 2025, that means she would have been 21 in 1965. If she’s in the US, that means she would have been in her mid-20’s for the hippie movement.

Hard to say what country she is from or lives in now, but tattoos gained a lot of popularity globally during WW2. If you were to go into a retirement home like 20 years ago, tattoos would probably be considered scandalous scars from a shady past. But today they are pretty common.

In this very thread people are blaming the Dems for not being fascists themselves under Biden and Obama.

Honestly there were some food points back then. A lot of people simply are not able to wear headphones responsibly. It’s only gotten worse with noise cancelling technology. The ability to ignore the outside world is great when you’re in a safe space to do so, but people doing it out in public or while driving are absolutely mad.

The quotes about “breaking societal connections” or whatever are funny to me though. Because that was happening at the time, but it had far more to do with the erosion of 3rd places and the rise of car-centric infrastructure than it did headphones.
