I remember some dumasses tried to overthrow the government in the US
They are all in jail though or executed now though right?
ughh
I think you meant Executive’d. They are running for government roles now.
Proud Boys and stuff

2021 had GME meme stonks and was the start of NFTs. Also COVID vax started coming out.
I liked lock down. It made me feel normal and accepted for being a shut-in for once. Now, I’m just a loser again.
I enjoyed the empty roads going to and from work.

Yes, it literally was a continuation of 2020. That’s how years work

Vaccines!
Party all summer. Oh wait, variants.
I personally got my PhD and moved states to start at my new job. So it was a busy year for me.
Log4j is hard to forget if you’re involved in IT
Geez, that was already 2 years ago??
It’s going to be 2024 in a month and a half. So it was almost 3 years ago.
Well no since it was December 2021 that shit hit the fan.
But like, did you actually have any network intrusions? Because I recall the hoopla and pushing scripts, but never once actually heard of anyone being actively exploited other than a few big players
If you worked in healthcare, there was a pretty clear delineation. We got vaccines and people stopped fucking dying so much.
I opened 2021 to one of our chronic dialysis patients getting admitted for Covid, so severely short of breath they needed to go to the critical care stepdown unit, and I thought "this is it " By the time I was able to arrive at the hospital to run their dialysis, this person was already off oxygen and up walking around their room.
Come to find out, they had been vaccinated. I’m told that was one of the first people in the State of Massachusetts who got Covid after being vaccinated, and the difference in severity was so dramatic I’ll never forget it.
That and movie theaters reopening are the only reasons I remember 2021. It was just a lot less scary even though I was still working like crazy.
It still blows my mind that so many people thought (and in many cases still do) that the vaccine had some nefarious purpose.
I remember 2021 mainly for arguing with morons online about it.
Well, that’s like every year for me. My memory sucks.
You had long COVID before it was trendy
I remember it, but I cheated by getting cancer that year.
Oof, glad you’re still here. How are you doing now?
I’ve been in complete remission for over a year. All it took was reprogramming my immune system to kill cancer.
I’m really glad to hear that. It’s amazing how far cancer treatment has come in the last couple of decades. I hope you remain healthy!
Any more lifehacks to share?
I really have this. It’s like I’ve lost a whole year of my life.
There was that ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal, and Squid Game.
both of those things feel like they are from 2016 or 2018
Why are you expecting me to remember something that much weed ago?
Seriously… That’s over 100 grams of THC ago…
“it’s called a motor race, ok? We went car racing.”
No Michael. This is so not right!
I personally loved the lockdowns
As a parent, our experiences are diametrical opposites haha
Pandemic was the best time of my life. Everyone I know(except for one guy) hated it. Me and my buddy enjoyed the shit out of it.
- Didn’t have to commute.
- Saved money on home cooking.
- Meetings started on time and you didn’t have to walk to and from them.
- If I needed to take delivery of something, no problem, my home is my office.
- Got a 5 minute break? Great, filled the washing machine up and got some laundry done.
- All communication was in email or on chats, making everything said super easy to track.
- Didn’t have to meet people. By far the best thing for me.
Oh man we saved SO much money not eating out, even still doing curbside pickup once in a while we saved thousands
I lost my job, got paid redundancy, and got double unemployment payments. It was dope.
Same I loved it, but that was because it let me skip the last year and a half of highschool essentially.
