2021 had GME meme stonks and was the start of NFTs. Also COVID vax started coming out.
Only reason I remember anything about ‘21 is cause I went to rehab, and the Jan 6th insurrection happened
Outside of that, I couldn’t tell you a single notable event
Hope your doing well now :)
Ye, I’m doing good. Appreciate it :)

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.
I liked lockdown at first. I became severely chronically ill during lockdown, so I’m basically still in lockdown due to low mobility and it has gone from an introvert’s dream to a nightmare. I haven’t made any new close IRL connections in years and I can barely ever see my existing friends other than online. It feels like it’s been simultaneously an eternity and only a few months since lockdown started and my mind is deteriorating.
“it’s called a motor race, ok? We went car racing.”
No Michael. This is so not right!
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
Can someone please explain the bottomright one?
No.
Think it’s just a dude looking like he’s going through shit, kind of in the same vein as Keanu on a bench.
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?
Yes, it literally was a continuation of 2020. That’s how years work
Worst year of my life.
2021 was vaccine and mask year for me, as a healthcare student. I remember it because I started my internship period, and the human contact got me out of my 2019 depression. I got a pretty good order of rotations and didn’t get COVID so I can’t complain.
Remember the first round of vaccination? This like 22 year old gave me mine and while we were chatting he told me how he was in med school. Hey real world experience
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
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
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.
I personally loved the lockdowns
As a parent, our experiences are diametrical opposites haha
My grandma and Betty White died
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
Same I loved it, but that was because it let me skip the last year and a half of highschool essentially.
I lost my job, got paid redundancy, and got double unemployment payments. It was dope.
