Every year after 2018 is the most year ever

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I'd say 2016 but I feel like the reality is every year I remember most clearly is the most year ever.

1969 was the most year ever.

Especially for hippies and astronauts.

Believe it or not, I don't in fact miss 2020.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

I wouldn't say miss but otoh I've barely been to an office in 3 years, that's gotta count for something.

I miss 2020, aside from the dead people. I had free money, free time, and the world was on the verge of a new paradigm. I tasted retirement while I still have energy and health. and people had free time to protest for what they believed in.

and then we were back to rich asshole and celebrities running the world.

I learnt so many new things, I repaired my car after watching YouTube videos, I changed the screen of my phone, as well as the bread and beer making. Sigh....

I mean I lost my job, my dad lost two of his best friends to covid, and I didn't have any more money then than I do now, which is none, so, YMMV.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

im sorry for your loss. I don't miss 2020 specifically, I miss my new found freedom.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I do miss 2020, because back then my country wasn't in a full on war yet

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Which one? Haha.. ha.. Jesus.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Ukraine, to be specific xD

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

We still have two weeks to go. Don't jinx it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It looks like Remy does

At least things get better by 2142.

I like the idea of the engineers discussing the ethics of inventing a robot that lusts over the human body:

Engineer 1: “If we don’t do it, it’s only a matter of time until someone else does it so we may as well.”

Engineer 2: “But won’t it be really bad?”

Engineer 1: “Most likely, yes.”

Engineer 2: “👍”

Big tech is all about that Nuremberg defense

If anyone has actually interacted with corporate engineers, that's exactly the kind of conversation they have, lmao.

I don't understand the order of the panels here...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

2020 as the baseline joke setup, then from earliest to latest by year because the other years are "replying" to the guy complaining about being stuck in his home.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Oh the weird colour switching makes it seem like the future one is supposed to be a reply to 2023

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

2023 has been significantly better. I do not miss 2020.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Welcome to Ukraine then :)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

I miss 2020 traffic...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If I ever say I miss 2020, I give you permission to shoot me in the head.

In 2020, in the middle of the pandemic I went from Sweden on a three month business trip to South Korea. After two weeks I met a woman there and we started dating. Now in 2023 I've been living in Korea for 3 years already and we have 10 month old son. So although I really understand that people really dislike that year, for me it's one of the best years in my life :D
