Context not needed.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

I can relate.

I bet it gets stupider.

[-] Illogicalbit@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Right in the feels.

[-] Berengaria_of_Navarre@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Plenty of context. Just look around.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 11 points 1 year ago

Timeless. Pretty much any context would apply.

I dare you to pick a better decade. Today isn't special. I will shit all over human history.

[-] tyler@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago

I mean 2010-2019 was pretty good.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

90-2000. Wasn’t perfect, but a damn sight less “interesting” than the next 25 years.

it's better for me now as a disabled person strangely enough. the medicines i need are more available and more legal. at least today. now, as to the other "other" parts of my identity, not so much, but there are some things that are a bit better nowadays.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Good to hear there has been improvement for you in some way. Medicine has generally advanced over the decades.

In the United States, if you knew where to look, the 90s was a cresting wave about to land on our heads.

Outside the United States, the 90s was drowning people en mass. The collapse of the Soviet Era grain trade sent millions over the brink into starvation. Multiple civil wars kicked off, culminating in grisly slaughters rising to the level of genocide in quite a few instances, as Cold War alliances dissolved. Advances in aviation gave birth to the Blackhawk helicopter and the hellfire missile, giving industrial nations an exciting new way to assassination and terrorize less developed populations. Unregulated agriculture unleashed wave after wave of toxic foodstuff and novel disease. The advent of the modern computing pioneered a new level of mass fraud, embezzlement, spying, and sabotage.

Westerners lived inside a ballooning debt bubble as the rest of the world got its shit rocked, looted, and ruined.

You said pick a better decade, not list all the shitty things in every decade everywhere. In the US, it was stable and relatively quiet compared to the next 25.

You said pick a better decade

If I'm LGBTQ? If I'm in the Chittagong district of southeastern Bangladesh or La Guaira, Venezuela or working the Kuwaiti oil fields? If I'm Yugoslavian or Chinese? The modern day is far superior to the 1990s.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

You also did not say pick a decade that was shitty for a specific group, nationality, gender, etc.

Ask a nonspecific generic question and then tell the people that answer they’re wrong by using specifics? Seriously, dude.

Between 2000 and 2019. Shit has gone down in recent years, badly.

Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.
