Nostalgia Check: 16 Harsh Truths About South Carolina’s So-Called Good Old Days

Untitled design 2024 06 09T132640.350

Many of us know someone who constantly talks about the “good old days.” The problem?

From an objective, societal viewpoint, past decades weren’t always better.

Nostalgia plays a huge role in why South Carolinians—and Americans as a whole—think the good old days were better.

Psychologists describe nostalgia as a natural process and something that can help people anchor their identity, giving us a feeling of stability and predictability. But in the case of the “good old days,” nostalgia often lies to us.

We combed through historical data to show why things weren’t better in the good old days.

That said, when we say things weren’t better, we’re looking at it through a societal lens; the past may very well have been better for certain individuals.

1: Credit Card Permission

Until 1974, women weren’t allowed to apply for a credit card in their own name.

This made many women financially dependent on men, as they couldn’t build credit to get a mortgage or a car loan.

2: Lower Life Expectancy

During the 160-year period from 1860 to 2020, the life expectancy in the U.S. rose from 39.4 years to 78.9 years.

Infant and child fatalities made up a significant portion of mortality rates in the 1800s. They no longer do.

3: More Poverty

Although there’s still work to be done, world poverty was much higher in the past than it is now.

In 1990, 38% of the world was living in extreme poverty. In 2019, only 9.1% held that title, meaning that 47 million people rose out of extreme poverty every year during that time frame.

4: Less Equality

Slavery wasn’t abolished until 1865. Women didn’t have the right to vote until 1920.

Segregation didn’t end until 1964. Life surely wasn’t better in the past for people living under these oppressed conditions.

5: Fewer Travel Opportunities

It wasn’t until 1957 that planes replaced boats as the preferred way to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

This was also the time when air travel started becoming more economical. In the years leading up to that time, flying was exclusively for the elite who could afford it.

6: Undeveloped Medicine

Penicillin was discovered in 1928, but it wasn’t until 1942 that doctors began treating patients with it.

Since then, scientists have developed approximately 150 antibiotics in 31 classes. Some estimate that the invention of penicillin has saved more than 200 million lives.

7: Military Drafts

The American government implemented a peacetime draft in 1940, which lasted until 1973, with the exception of one year.

During the Vietnam War, approximately 1.9 million Americans were drafted to serve.

8: More War Fatalities

Untitled design 2024 02 13T155406.239Untitled design 2024 02 13T155406.239

Since 1946, the global number of people losing their lives in war has been on a downward trend.

It’s also more common for wars around the world to happen between domestic groups rather than different states.

9: Lower Graduation Rates

Untitled design 2024 02 17T162440.715Untitled design 2024 02 17T162440.715

In 1910, only 13.5% of Americans 25 years and older had completed high school. Fast forward to 2019, and high school graduation rates are at 90.1%.

Similarly, whereas only 2.7% of Americans 25 years and older held bachelor’s degrees or higher in 1910, 36% held them in 2019.

10: Poorer Education

During colonial times, education was a mixed bag for American children. There was no standardization among what was taught, and free public education didn’t start in the U.S. until the mid-19th century.

The story even goes that George Washington received education in his early years from a schoolmaster who “knew next to nothing.”

11: Less Interconnectedness

While there’s an argument to be made about technology making people less social, it’s undeniably made it easier for people from different parts of the world to connect with each other.

The cross-cultural exchange of ideas and education has been invaluable to many, particularly those living in developing nations.

12: Danger on the Job

Untitled design 2024 03 25T183044.396Untitled design 2024 03 25T183044.396

Workplace safety has vastly improved in the U.S. over the years. For example, in 1900, approximately 300 out of every 100,000 miners lost their lives while working.

In 2021, 19.6 coal mining fatalities occurred per 100,000 full-time workers.

13: No Domestic Abuse Laws

Under Old English common law, early American settler men were legally allowed to inflict harm on their wives for “correctional purposes.”

In 1975, most (but not all) states permitted wives to bring a criminal case against an abusive spouse, and it wasn’t until 1990 that judges were permitted to consider spousal abuse as part of their determination about child custody or visitation rights.

14: Less Vulnerability

In the past, American culture valued not wearing one’s emotions on their sleeve or talking about taboo topics. That’s evolving, and therapists are celebrating it.

Being vulnerable with people one trusts can help build better relationships, resilience, and make people feel less alone with their feelings and experiences.

15: Diseases Abounded

Untitled design 2024 02 29T200843.717Untitled design 2024 02 29T200843.717

Hib, anyone? Many diseases are essentially eradicated or are under control thanks to vaccines.

It’s practically unheard of for an American to develop polio, tetanus, and measles nowadays.

16: Age Discrimination

In 1967, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) was signed into law.

Since that time, it’s been illegal for employers to discriminate against applicants and employees who are 40 years of age and older when hiring, offering promotions, compensation negotiations, and more.

Declinism

When people talk about the good old days, they often say it with the conviction that there’s little hope for the future. That’s declinism.

The negativity from a person with a declinist attitude can be geared towards things like a country, an economy, or the world as a whole.

1950s Perfection

Untitled design 2024 02 25T151737.567Untitled design 2024 02 25T151737.567

In his quest to discover when the good old days truly were, podcaster Jason Feifer reached out to Americans to get their take. The answer he received the most was the 1950s.

But here’s the problem: Upon Feifer consulting with historians about his findings, they said that was most definitely not the truth. Racial and class tensions were high in the 1950s.

Sociologists were concerned that the spread of individualism was destroying families. And let’s not even start with the threat of nuclear annihilation.

The Cycle Continues

Untitled design 2024 03 02T144501.021Untitled design 2024 03 02T144501.021

When Feifer asked people who lived through the 1950s whether they thought those were the good days, they appeared to agree with historians. So, what decade do people from the 1950s think were the good old days?

The 1920s.

Of course, there were problems there too. The concept of traditional American families was at risk in the eyes of those living in the 1920s, for divorce rates were increasing.

The Victorian era was surely better. But, no, people back then were, in some cases, literally worried sick over the change in pace of life that railroads and telegraphs brought; a new fatigue and anxiety-inducing disease was named during that time.

Wave Goodbye: 20 Beach Cities Sinking Fast, One in Florida

Untitled design 2024 03 08T135912.813

Regardless of where you stand on what’s causing global sea levels to rise, it’s undeniable that our coastlines are getting smaller.

A study using data from the European Commission suggests that by 2100, we could lose nearly half of the world’s sandy beaches to rising sea levels.

That said, not all coastlines are shrinking at the same rate.

Unfortunately for Americans, two beloved U.S. beach spots are among the top 20 beachside cities in the world that will likely shrink the most by 2100, one of which is in Florida.

Measuring Shrinking Coasts

Hawaiian Islands determined the world’s tourist beaches that will lose the most sandy area by using the European Commission’s data, which estimates global shoreline changes that will happen by 2100.

To narrow down their data to tourist beaches, Hawaiian Islands selected the top ten beaches in each country with the most reviews. They then calculated the average decrease or increase of all the beaches, arriving at the following rankings.

Although Hawaiian Islands calculated their data using the number of meters of shoreline shrinkage by 2100, we converted them to the nearest feet (ft).

Flip through the slideshow below to see which Florida beach city is on this list.

Rising Tides

Wave in Hawaii.Wave in Hawaii.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, global sea levels have been increasing over the past 100 years.

What troubles many scientists is the fact that the rate of rising sea levels has increased in recent years.

As of right now, sea levels are rising at a rate of approximately one-eighth of an inch each year.

A warmer environment is the leading cause of increased sea levels. Researchers state that the two primary causes of this include the water that’s already in the ocean expanding (since water expands as it gets warmer) and the melting of land-based ice.

Threat of Higher Sea Levels

Untitled design 2024 04 05T224523.778Untitled design 2024 04 05T224523.778
Photo Credit: R.M. Nunes via stock.adobe.com.

Numerous issues are already stemming from higher sea levels, and experts worry about the future of coastal towns and cities. Rising sea levels threaten coastal infrastructure, subways, oil and gas wells, and landfills, to name a few.

Furthermore, “nuisance flooding” is common in areas that are already feeling the negative effects of increased sea levels. This type of flooding occurs during high tide.

While nuisance flooding isn’t typically dangerous for people living along the coast, it can be incredibly disruptive and expensive to maintain, repair, or move infrastructure that ultra-high tides reach.

Another way that higher sea levels can negatively impact coastal areas is by making an area ripe for more damaging storm surges.

In this case, storm surge water reaches further inland than it did in the past.

Expedited Rising

Untitled design 2024 03 11T133518.345Untitled design 2024 03 11T133518.345
Photo Credit: wavebreak3 via stock.adobe.com.

In some cases, populations along the coast have inadvertently sped up the process of the sea level rising faster than average in their local area.

Some of the human-driven things that can cause sea levels to increase at an expedited rate include:

  • Groundwater pumping
  • Oil extraction
  • Heavy buildings

Such practices cause soil compaction and erosion, literally sinking cities into the earth.

10 Surefire Clues Someone Grew Up in Virginia

Untitled design 2025 01 19T133319.926

Whether you’re strolling down the cobblestone streets of Alexandria or hiking the Blue Ridge Mountains, there’s no denying that Virginians have their own unique way of doing things.

If you’ve ever wondered how to spot someone from the Old Dominion State, here are ten telltale signs to look for.

They Have Strong Opinions About Barbecue

Virginians take their barbecue seriously, and they’re not afraid to let you know it.

While they might not engage in heated debates like their neighbors in North Carolina or Tennessee, they’ll still proudly defend the slow-smoked pork and tangy vinegar-based sauces found in their state.

The “Virginia style” might not be as famous, but locals swear it’s worth trying.

You’re also likely to hear them talk about local barbecue joints with reverence. They’ll mention places like Pierce’s Pitt Bar-B-Que in Williamsburg or County Grill & Smokehouse in Hampton as if they’re sacred.

For a Virginian, barbecue isn’t just food—it’s a way of life.

They’re Passionate About College Sports—Especially UVA and Virginia Tech

College sports are a big deal in Virginia, and the rivalry between the University of Virginia (UVA) and Virginia Tech is legendary.

UVA fans proudly wear their orange and blue, while Hokies sport maroon and orange with equal fervor.

On game days, you’ll find Virginians glued to their TVs or tailgating outside the stadiums. They’ll talk passionately about past games, star players, and memorable plays.

Just don’t bring up any losses unless you’re ready for a lengthy discussion.

They Call It “The Commonwealth”

While most states refer to themselves as just that, states, Virginians often call their home “The Commonwealth.”

This historical term is a source of pride, emphasizing the state’s commitment to the common good of its citizens.

If you’re in a conversation and someone refers to “the Commonwealth” without further explanation, you’re probably talking to a Virginian.

It’s one of those subtle but unmistakable signs that they’re from the Old Dominion.

They’re Loyal to Virginia Peanuts

Virginia peanuts aren’t your average snack. Known for their extra-large size and crunchy texture, these nuts are a point of pride for the state.

If someone offers you a tin of Virginia peanuts as a gift, you can bet they’re from the Commonwealth.

Virginians also love to remind people that their peanuts are grown in the sandy soils of southeastern Virginia, particularly around Suffolk.

They’ll tell you that their peanuts are the best for roasting and snacking, and they’re not wrong—Virginia peanuts have earned their reputation as some of the finest in the world.

They Love Saying “Bless Your Heart”

Virginians have mastered the art of Southern politeness, and “Bless your heart” is a phrase you’ll hear often.

Depending on the context, it can be a genuine expression of sympathy or a not-so-subtle way of calling someone out.

You’ll know you’ve met a true Virginian if they say it with just the right tone and timing.

It’s a versatile phrase that’s as much a part of their vocabulary as “y’all.”

They’re Obsessed With History

Virginia is steeped in history, and its residents are proud of it.

From Colonial Williamsburg to Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, the state is home to some of the most important historical sites in the country.

Virginians love to talk about their state’s role in the founding of America. They’ll eagerly share stories about Jamestown, the Revolutionary War, and the Civil War.

If someone can’t stop talking about historical landmarks, they’re likely a Virginian.

They Have a Love-Hate Relationship With I-95

Ask any Virginian about I-95, and you’ll get an earful.

This major interstate runs through the heart of the state and is notorious for its traffic jams, especially near Richmond and Northern Virginia.

Virginians have a lot to say about the best times to travel, the worst bottlenecks, and the endless construction projects.

It’s a shared experience that unites residents in their frustration and serves as a conversation starter for anyone familiar with the region.

They Swear by Old Bay Seasoning

Old Bay isn’t just a seasoning in Virginia; it’s practically a religion.

Whether it’s sprinkled on seafood, French fries, or even popcorn, this blend of spices is a staple in many Virginian kitchens.

If someone’s eyes light up at the mention of Old Bay, chances are they’re from Virginia.

They’ll probably tell you it’s the secret ingredient to making any dish better.

They’re Wine Enthusiasts

Virginia’s wine scene has been gaining recognition in recent years, and locals are justifiably proud of their vineyards. With over 300 wineries across the state, there’s no shortage of options for wine lovers.

Virginians will eagerly recommend their favorite wineries, like Barboursville Vineyards or King Family Vineyards.

They’re especially fond of Virginia’s signature grape, Viognier, and they’ll encourage you to give it a try.

They Brag About All Four Seasons

One thing Virginians love to mention is how their state experiences all four seasons.

From colorful fall foliage in the Shenandoah Valley to sunny summers at Virginia Beach, they’ll tell you their state has it all.

They might even claim that Virginia’s seasons are “just right”—not too hot, not too cold.

While that might be up for debate, there’s no denying that Virginians take pride in their state’s natural beauty year-round.

6 Simple Tricks to Pick a Ripe Avocado in Colorado Grocery Stores

Untitled design 2025 02 28T134813.011

Did you know that Americans eat over 3 billion pounds of avocados each year? That represents a more than seven-pound increase in avocado consumption per person between 2001 and 2022.

Whether you’re making guacamole, adding them to toast, or just eating them plain, one thing is for sure: Avocados are in style. But picking a perfect avocado at the grocery store isn’t always easy.

Here are six simple ways to know when the avocado you want to buy at your Colorado grocery store is ready to eat.

1. Look at the Color

A ripe avocado often changes color. When you walk down the grocery store aisle, you might notice that many avocados have a darker, almost black skin when they’re ready to eat.

This color change is a great first sign that the fruit is ripe. A lighter, greener color usually means the avocado is still too hard and needs a few more days to soften up.

Another tip is to compare several avocados at once. When you see one that is much darker than the rest, it’s likely riper.

Keep in mind that some avocado varieties naturally have a darker color, so it helps to be familiar with the type you usually buy.

2. Squeeze Gently

When you hold an avocado in your hand, give it a gentle squeeze. A ripe avocado will yield a bit under pressure without feeling mushy. This gentle squeeze test is a simple trick that many avocado pros use.

If the avocado you squeeze feels rock hard, you’ll need to wait at least a few days for it to ripen at home.

It’s important to use just a little pressure with your fingers; you don’t want to bruise the avocado by squeezing too hard.

A soft, slightly yielding feel is a good sign that the avocado is ready to be downed.

3. Check the Stem

Peeking under the little stem at the top of an avocado can tell you a lot. If the stem comes off easily and you see a green color underneath, the avocado is usually ripe.

This method is a handy trick that you can do right at the store. It’s like a secret signal that your avocado is good to go!

If the stem is hard to remove or if you see brown underneath, the avocado might be too green or starting to spoil, respectively.

You can thank us later for saving you from a brown, mushy mess.

4. Feel the Texture

A good avocado should feel firm yet a bit soft. When you run your fingers along the skin, you might notice a slightly bumpy texture on some varieties. This texture can help you judge whether the fruit is ripe.

Ripe avocados often have a consistent texture that’s not too rough or too soft.

Don’t be shy—the next time you’re at the grocery store, take a moment to feel the surfaces of several avocados and see what you discover.

5. Avoid Bruises

Inspect your avocado carefully for any bruises or dark spots on the skin.

Bruises can indicate that the avocado was handled roughly, which might mean the fruit inside is damaged or overripe.

Even if the color seems right and the fruit feels like a good amount of soft, a few bad spots might spoil your experience.

Looking for smooth, unblemished skin can lead you to a better avocado. Many grocery stores take good care of their fruit, but it never hurts to give your avocados a quick once-over.

A tiny bruise might not mean the whole avocado is bad, but choosing one without them can give you a fresher, tastier experience.

6. Consider the Weight

Weight can be another clue to picking a perfect avocado. When you hold a ripe avocado, it should feel a little heavier than it looks.

The extra weight is often a sign that the fruit is full of healthy, creamy flesh.

Comparing a couple of avocados by their weight can be a neat trick. If one feels lighter, it might have less fruit inside or may be drying out.

So, next time you’re shopping, pick up a few avocados and start practicing this little-known piece of advice.

Ask a Store Expert

Sometimes, the best advice comes from the people who work at the grocery store. If you’re not sure which avocado to pick, don’t be shy about asking an employee.

They often have lots of experience and can point you to the ripest options available.

Store experts might also let you know when a fresh shipment comes in, so you can plan your purchases around the best selections.

The next time you’re in the produce section, remember that a friendly question might lead you to the perfect avocado.
