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 always saw that as geek culture. Geeks consume and obsess over things, nerds are people who like do maths puzzles in their spare time.

Geek culture got celebrated for a while, but at least in my neck of the woods "I'm gonna stay in this weekend and research the history of the lathe" never became anything other than shunned and mocked.

    It might be because I surround myself with autistic people but if I said that most people around me would be like “Hell yeah”
