With UlyssesT out there touching grass, I haven’t seen this thread in a while. What in the past do you NOT miss? It could be very personal or just something everyone experienced but doesn’t anymore.

For me, I am so fucking happy the food scene in burgerland has changed since the 2000s. People seem to enjoy more well-seasoned foods and healthier options seem to outstrip the unhealthy slop I remember in the 2000s. Even my yee-yee ahh Ohio suburb has changed somewhat noticeably to support fresh ingredients. Less WASPslop is always good.

How about y’all?

I think some of that is because there are more older (by which I mean like 30+ or even 20+) people online. You'll still occasionally run across the YoU WoUlDn'T LaSt In A MW2 LoBbY types, and all I can think of is "Damn, sorry you failed to grow up and the rest of the world moved on". Some of us didn't like screaming slurs into a headset even back then.

    Even the people that do banter that can be seen as rude or toxic "go fuck yourself/mom/dad/goat" etc stuff can surprise you when somebody pops off a N word or something and then it's all "fuck off racist pos"

    It's a nice surprise to find.
