@patrickworld This photo is giving me vertigo.In my childhood home I had that exact rug, we also had that exact desk, those bears on the wall same photo and frame, and the same computer (but the keyboard is different.)Yet I don't recognize the woman or the gun.The rug was bought before I was born. I guess they sold a lot of them in the US.I should send this to my brother and say "remember when she came over?" He'll think he has repressed memories.

@futurebird @patrickworld I had that rug, with that desk, and even the phone on the bookcase is the same, in the same position!... We only ever had the one computer, though.

@shaknais @patrickworld His friends from Harvard always looked like her. I still have the creeping sense that I know her. But knowing that other people recognize the rug is comforting. Since it was "old" even when I was a child I thought it was more unique. Set up so many "battles" with toys on the shapes of that rug, pretending the "elephant feet" mandalas were islands...

@jessetmccann @patrickworld It is so odd how things that you would not think of as "dated" become these signifiers of a very specific time and place. I wonder which of the objects around me will have that quality in 30 years?

@futurebird @jessetmccann Not sure. I feel like things are built with different intentions now, truly to fit the times. Everything seems to age faster

@jericevans @patrickworld Thank you for saying so. My childhood has been shattered a little by finding out that this rug was just a mass produced common item. But, it makes the photo much like eerie.

@futurebird @chillicampari @patrickworld I believe Sears sold rugs called "India" and "Persia" style

@futurebird @jessetmccann @patrickworld My wife and I stuck our heads into an estate sale, and as usual I checked the garage for tools and sporting goods, and was startled and depressed to realize that almost everything there was the same model I have in my garage. I have reached "your shit is so old it will either be considered junk or, worse, be sought by antiques collectors at your estate sale" age.

@futurebird @patrickworld That desk too apparently, my friend has that exact desk in his home office right now. It has not fared well, but it's the same one.

@futurebird it's interesting that you pegged her as an intern, but after giving it some thought, I'm sure you're right. Shooting someone's computer is exactly the sort of thing someone would task an intern with ...and then shamelessly take the credit for ofc.@patrickworld

@futurebird @patrickworld wait, _we_ had this rug (on the wall)! How could it be the same rug in US and in Russia?

@jericevans @futurebird @patrickworld umm… there's one in my living room, and it's not that old, actually. (Pay no attention to the small heaps of Christmas wrapping paper.)

@sbourne @jericevans @patrickworld Same general idea, but not exactly the same pattern like the one in that photo. So, it's also a general style.
