I remember some dumasses tried to overthrow the government in the US
They are all in jail though or executed now though right?
I think you meant Executive’d. They are running for government roles now.
ughh
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
Jan 6th
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.
Well, that’s like every year for me. My memory sucks.
You had long COVID before it was trendy
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.
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
Nope, none of our customers had, because the application wasn’t webfacing at all but good luck explaining that to a scared shitless CTO/CIO in their late 50s…
True. The hype around it was nuts. So many of our vendors sent out multiple emails about it
I really have this. It’s like I’ve lost a whole year of my life.
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.
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.
A guy I worked with refused to wear the mask and get the vaccine. He called me diaperface. He got the virus and afterwards was incontinent. I am a nice guy so I never once pointed out that he was the one wearing the diaper now, but I was so so tempted.
Hopefully they’re a bit more humble these days then. I won’t lie, it makes me happy to know some people like that got what was coming to them. A bitter prick I might be but after watching my wife teeter on the brink of collapse working on the wards I have no sympathy for anyone who’s chosen to believe anything but the overwhelming scientific consensus.
If you need to believe that EVERYTHING the government does is wrong then you’re as bad as people who believe that everything they do is good. Unfortunately the pandemic seemed to create swathes of people like that who reduce an argument all the way down to absurdity.
I think in your position I wouldn’t be able to help myself, maybe I wouldn’t directly make fun of his incontinence but I’d probably ask if he remembers when he used to call me diaperface or something like that, just a sly reminder to him what a cunt he was.
“it’s called a motor race, ok? We went car racing.”
No Michael. This is so not right!
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
It’s still 2020, change my mind.
In fact, it is 1083/12/2023
I bet in 3 years we’re gonna say the same thing
I personally loved the lockdowns
My entire memory of 2021 is just vtubers
