God, I miss the Iraq war being the worst of our problems. I miss before 2000 even more, when
people still believed our elections weren't retarded.

If I had a penny for every time some anon on 4chan posted that they wanted to go back to a time
they were more ignorant, I would be rich.

for sure. probably is nostalgia, but there's just a simpler feel to the 00's culture that was so
delightful.
The 90's pop era was not quite over yet.
Computers were becoming mainstream enough that everyone could find something, yet
commercial/corporate interest was still very limited. And even if it wasn't - corporations in
general felt way less overbearing
Computer animation in all its forms were limited by hardware and software contraints -
professional CGI had this obviousness to it that was delightful yet impressive, and professional
computer animation had this "early rough" feel because the software just wasn't that developed
yet.
Amateur animation was limited by technical skills and streaming speeds (I remember waiting
FOREVER to get Demented Cartoon Movie to load). We were satisfied with stick animations, crude
techniques and such, because we were too preoccupied with the fact that WHOA, we could make and
see stuff!
That's how I remember it, at least. A lovely, peaceful transition time between a great cultural
era and the information age. A wild west of mishmashes of culture, compared to today's paved over
corporate culture megalith.

Ignorance is bliss, after all.

As a continuation - while today does have several great advantages, such as the advanced tech
including the massive increase in global trading allowing affordable, quick access to many
things, easily accessible tinkering supplies, the advent of 3D printing and such, I'd trade it
all for that simplicity.
Best of both worlds would be today's progress with yesterday's wild west feel though.

This, sadly the internet will probably only get worse and worse. Not even sure if it's possible
to find a physical community that isn't fucked by social media and internet addiction, but also
isn't some extreme religious cult.

While many things are as cheap maybe even cheaper and quick to get today, nearly all of them are
made even cheaper and quality is harder to come by than ever.
So, yeah I could buy lots of crap fast, but why would I even want to buy anything that isn't made
to last? If you do, you even pay premium compared to the general quality that basically
everything was still made of in the 90s, early 00s.
