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?

Music keeps getting better.

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago

Ya, I need to broaden my music tastes more. I just keep listening to the same music I enjoyed before in my youth. But I heard the Grammy's were stacked this year with basically any of the albums of the year nominees being fit to win (at least other friends who are more into modern music have told me this) so that bodes well and fits with what you're saying.

I think that's one issue with music streaming being so easy and algorithmized is it keeps me in my music bubble too easily.
