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?

Since you brought it up, I don't miss UlyssesT. dude was an asshole debate pervert, was on the other end of all of the worst interactions I ever had on here, and never knew anything about the things he was malding about to boot. It's a lot nicer now that he's gone.

Fake plants, I feel like I've been seeing less and less of them over the years and I hope that plastic garbage stays gone forever

AngularJS

People having their ringers on in public

Carpeted flooring, especially high-pile carpets

I second the fake plants. They're not fooling anyone. Stop with the fake fucking figs already.

I recently overheard a young guy on a date(?) proudly tell his date that he decorated his new house/apt/whatever with fake plants because he can't keep plants alive

Being proud of the simulacra? At least my real plants are a third, maybe second at best, order sign of the outdoors. smdh
