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?

They seemed very specific to a certain part of silicon valley, all I can say is that if you've encountered that very niche set of ideas within the niche of silicon valley culture itself, it made some sense.

But I wasn't really around for peak Ulysses T posting anyways. I only started posting regularly a few months ago. So maybe I'm wrong.
