2015 was 10 years ago. What's changed since then?

But the liberals were melting down over trump in 2015. The covid thing people pretty much forgot about which disturbs me. NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY DID TO US.

Nah the liberal meltdown wasnt even close to becoming what it became dude, im sorry you’re so stupid

 

[Fuck]

If you use tech as your yardstick for how much has changed, then yeah, there's not a lot to say. In 2015, you could get a large screen smartphone, a smartwatch, an electric car, bluetooth headphones, subscriptions to a bunch of streaming services, and if you built a high-end desktop computer, it could still run any game released today, albeit at low-medium settings.

The biggest changes are in society. There are a metric shitload more foreigners in the west, when there were already too many back in '15. It's now a common thing even in smaller cities to have some beaner come up to you with their phone running Google Translate in order to ask you a question. Prices are very high. A full fast food meal costs about the same as a night out at the Cheesecake Factory, somehow. Everyone is understaffed, yet paradoxically not hiring anyone. Christianity seems to be rising once again. The people who were screaming about how much we need diversity back in '15 are today ranting behind closed doors about how much they hate Indian men.

Oh and, to round it back to technology, a lot of shit we took for granted a decade ago just sucks ass now. Dating sites are full of bots. Tons of niche shit is gated behind private Discord channels. YouTube censorship is out of hand, like how creators have to censor the word "suicide", even when contextually appropriate. You can't even pick up unknown phone calls without it all but certainly being a scam from India.

Actually, a lot of changes in the past decade come down to India just running wild, and everyone else having to put up with their bullshit. Fucking nobody likes them except for powerful people who profit off of their cheap labor.

True crime slop channels call rape "assault" when it's a true crime channel where "actual" assaults happen.

A society before Covid and Trumps presidency+liberal meltdown might as well be the 1950s at this point. Times have changed profoundly since 2015

And yet despise all the trials of the past decade, you're still standing. You did it, man! Never forget that.

There are a LOT more niggers on TV commercials than in 2015. It's like niggers took over the airwaves.

At least we can rest easy knowing people still watch TV commercials.
