d3rr 3 insightful - 3 fun - 2 hours ago Missing the 90s :D

This. The early 2000's were marred by 9/11 and the patriot act. Even if you werent American, it affected travel everywhere by everyone. Even before this everything was turning to shit anyway, the Dot com bubble burst, mainstream music was absolutely horrible (50 cent, Ja Rule, Nelly, Limp Biscuit, shitty shitty remakes).
It was also the time my favourite MMORPG was made and then died. RIP Star Wars Galaxies - An Empire Divided: 2003 - 2004.

The world seems to be getting worse every decade. The 2000s make the 2010s look like shit. And the 2010s make the 2020s look like shit, too.

I feel really bad for the kids growing up nowadays. They have no idea what it was like to be born into a healthy and functional society, and they never will. I come across Reddit posts from these 20 YO kids who have nostalgia for the early 2010s. And I'm just like, you have no idea, you poor, clueless fuck.

Society was already starting to fall apart by then, but it wasn't in the advanced state of decay that we're seeing now. From their youthful perspective, they think the early 2010s were a time to look back on with fondness. But if they had lived through the 90s and 2000s, they would know how wrong that is.

That's one thing I miss, cheap flights to the US.

The first thing I did after 9/11 was book a holiday to California. And the we got some great hotels cut price as well.

yup, pre-9.11 2001 mass hypnosis event that caused the majority to retarded

i honestly struggle with how/why people so attached to those buildings and how that event ushered in a new era of stupidity (tsa)

that event didn't cause me to get retarded, but to notice reality.. something wasn't right

it was just like now, I was looking behind the scenes and noticing inconsistencies in the official stories
