*inhales deeply through nostrils* Early 2000s was back when I would get several phone calls a week from an aging relative asking me to help them with "the dang computer". I miss spending a whole hour trying to show my uncle how to save a picture of a Corvette Stingray to his desktop while he yells "SLOW DOWN YOURE DOIN' ALOT AT ONCE" Now they are PM'ing me on Reddit calling me a liberal cuck and getting me doxxed on 4chan. Poohs Packin fucked around with this message at 10:55 on Jul 25, 2019 |

Xaris posted:for lots of millennials they're now making 150k touching computers selling ads to people or w/e instead of being poor n unemployed in college and i bet you they like making 150k a lot more than being nostalgia for the 2000s. Surprising level of naivety about the real world, even for these dead gay forums.

kimihia posted:WHO LET THE DOGS OUT Jehova's Witness Speaking of, I noticed that they have these little carts with TVs on them now with pamphlets and stuff. I half-jokingly asked my ma if they gave her one to wheel around, and she said that they don't give them, you buy them. They buy the pamphlets too. I want to know who is in charge of their marketing, because this is guerilla marketing at it's best and I want in.

Might be someone rejected from Amway. Borrowed the Amway MLM idea and updated it for good ol' Jehovah himself!

Sleeveless posted:They're already reissuing old flipphones and Nokia style candybar phones because people are nostalgic for them and the lack of distraction they have versus smart phones. Same with iPods. I still have my 120gb iPod classic. It's great to put music on and be able to listen to it without an internet connection or affecting phone battery, since the phone is useful in an emergency.

I'm sorry OP but this place has been extremely nostalgic about early SA for years and that's all early 2000s. It started right here, t-shirts with grenade logos for everyone.

How were the 2000s even different from today except social media wasn't so big, smartphones weren't everywhere yet, and the world didn't seem as dystopian? I can't think of anything memorable from the 2000s except 9/11 happened, and terrorism isn't something to get nostalgic about. I feel like culturally, the past two decades have been really blah. Technology has improved for sure but it's made some things more convenient and some things worse.

Well according to that one guy, all us millennials are now out here making six figures touching computers instead of being poor, and definitely not living with parents and/or 4 roommates while being ground to dust in low-level jobs that barely allow us to make our minimum student loan payments. So there's one difference at least!

There were way more Honda Civic DX's with atrocious body kits and Pep Boys mufflers in the 2000's. I don't miss it all. Now teens can't afford a car at all so there are less of them putting that ugly poo poo on used cars. Progress.

The Hangover turned 10 a month ago and looking back it's the last time I remember a theatrical comedy achieving that degree of success and cultural impact. Like for most of the 00s almost every year would have some Adam McKay or Judd Apatow movie or the odd indie breakout hit like Borat or Napoleon Dynamite that people would quote and reference and whose imagery would decorate shirts and bumper stickers for years to come and then that just stopped. Now we get superhero movies and cartoons and the odd "dramedy" like The Big Sick where they have some funny jokes but it's also about something very serious and important so you know it's a Real Movie. You could probably trace the rise of modern meme culture in the way that Hollywood stopped giving people stuff like Anchorman to quote so they had to latch onto funny internet pictures instead.

I think you may have the chicken and the egg thing conflated. Memes didn't kill big hollywood comedies du jour. Hollywood is just a giant corporate ez-profit seeking business. They stopped making tons of lovely Apatow and Carell/Ferrell/Rogan/etc comedies, at least on a large-scale, because they stopped selling. Maybe they stopped selling because people now have wide-adoption of smartphones and wider-access to laptop/tablets/pcs, such were less inclined to see a comedy when they can have internet funnies instead. Or maybe there was just a long series of ones that sucked and people got burnt out of seeing the same formulaic thing that were not very funny at all. Probably both. also I think your prescribing way too much important/popularity to modern meme culture than it actually carries, but, perhaps that's just me talking as a goon that hates+stays out of social media besides occasionally lolling at dumb trump tweets or the rare funny burn. memes have been around since the internet tho but i think mostly peaked, as far as i can tell, like 2013-something.
