For example.

I miss store checkouts from years ago. It used to be that speed and accuracy were the norm, along with good bagging. These days, it seems like companies put the absolute slowest, must retarded workers at the checkout to try and push us toward self checkout. I had a single hand basket of goods today that took the person at the register no less than 6 minutes to check through, and I ended up with 10 bags of shit mixed together.

Sounds like a short time, but just time yourself standing in one spot for 6 minutes, and think about a hand cart taking that long. Back when people could afford entire shopping carts full of food, those clerks would fly through stuff at the register.

I remember a world before computers, when we had to use paper to communicate. It wasn't a bad world at all.

When people had convictions. When they stubbornly refused to bend the knee to what obviously had a foul smell.

Now people are maybe a few steps above insects in their behaivor. Too many people I know have got the vaccine, not because they genuinely believe that a deadly virus would kill them otherwise, but so they can board planes in case they are "required" to have gotten it.

This is the key here: they're pretty skeptical of the virus, not terrified of it like others, yet they agreed to go through with the vaccine just to avoid potential inconvenience.

That's another thing, when people could witstand inconvenience. Now at the slightest inconvenience most are ready to bend over backwards to avoid it.

Typical millennial.

You're so FUCKING STUPID you have no idea what a fucking "boomer" is, you just call everybody a "boomer" because you heard another millennial RETARD say it first.

But then, the amount of stuff millennials don't know could fill a warehouse.

Put your head back up your ass, the adults are talking little man.

"Shame"

There used to be a time when people hid their crazy shit and didn't force it on society at large.

I know it seems simple, but I miss that.

People were much more relaxed when I was young. You could drive without a licence. Nobody really cared. If a cop stopped you, he just told you to get a license and let you go. You could buy a gun or ammunition without any checks or delays. If you took it out back of your house to shoot, nobody called the police. People didn't lock their doors because they didn't need to -- there was virtually no crime. You could leave your bicycle sitting out on the sidewalk outside a store, and it was still there when you came out. You could say what you knew to be true, and nobody cared as long as you were polite about it. People had good manners. If they saw a kid doing something wrong, they gave him a bat on the back of the head to smarten him up. Fights were done with fists, and you didn't kick someone when he was down -- you let him get back up. I guess the biggest difference is that people were sane back then. They didn't take drugs, legal or illegal, and they didn't get drunk except maybe on Friday nights. Girls didn't swear. If they got pregnant, the boy who did it married them, or they kept the baby and their parents and grandparents helped them raise the kid. Nobody sprayed crap on somebody else's door or wall. Property was respected. People today, especially those under the age of 30, have no idea how far we've fallen as a society. No idea.

I'm 31. I've watched everything decline to maybe 30% of what it was in my lifetime and I'm done with this shit. Either things change enough in the next 10 years or it doesn't matter.

when not all websites had badly organized, clunky, and cluttered user interfaces with white facebook-esque backgrounds. I'll take a flat looking website with a dark background and neon colored text over the generic websites with two thirds of the page being taken up by retarded ads with grey and white bubbles littering the screen. it's retarded when people say 4chan is "unusable" when new-reddit and twitter are both laggy and unresponsive
