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 don't miss much because the 90s especially was kind of shit as a whole. But especially not missing the way women got treated in the 80s and 90s and up to the 00s.

I know its grim still, but oh boy how much nicer it is to live life when not nearly as many men think it is ok to just touch you.

All the cringe movies where the upper was normalized could also be forgotten.
