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?

Agreed, especially with the “even socially progressive” part. I remember as a kid in the late 2000s “redneck” was the only clapback against CHUDs. Literally “don’t be racist because racism is for stinky poor people!” That being said, I don’t mind when it’s used tongue-in-cheek like how Trae Crowder calls himself “the liberal redneck” (and he’s been moving more to the left, which is nice.)
