20 years ago were image macros, demotivationals, and shortly after that, the following years were advice animals and rage comics.

Dancing baby was mid to late nineties, like Hamster Dance and goatse. Learn your Internet history. 20 years ago Digg was the king of social bookmarking before it was known as social media, 20 years ago was the birth of Web 2.0

American prisons are a horror show, I can confidently say I would rather die.

This is such a non fix being spun into a fix that this premise is garbage.

Ah so the workaround is that as long as cruel punishment is normalized, it's always acceptable. You can do something unethical today, and as long as people let you get away with it, it's completely moral.

Thanks America!

This is criminal, but I guess it's okay because the 13th amendment says prisoners are property so they don't have to worry about their health, safety and rights.

I low key love it. It's unconventional, but it's not hard to read

I watched with no sound and from pure behavior I'm certain he is aware it's there and is likely involved

Pharmacy Tech is not a stable or well paying job to be completely honest.

Attitudes about gays and transgenders actually got worse coming from the 1960s into the 1980s. The sexual revolution actually created a generation far more open and accepting, and the culture that lead to things like the Satanic panic, war on drugs, and resurgence of patriotism and religiosity in the United States actually made things worse for gay and trans.

I literally remember when sites like Reddit, Amazon, and even Google went down. We're so used to crazy uptimes that it's easy to forget that real servers and infrastructure have real problems.

It shows a bias to monotheistic religions. I don't understand how that's justifiably neutral enough.

Completely disagree, but if you haven't been around for at least a couple of sets of twenty years I can see why you would think this.

Someone else gave a great set of things that were different, but really, twenty years ago was almost completely different in nearly every dimension of life I can remember.

In 2003 not only was gay marriage not legal, gay sex and relationships were illegal where I live, and was punishable by prison time.

In 2003 most of the country wasn't online, pagers were more common than cell phones, and 3DFX VooDoo graphics cards were still a thing.

In 2003 I used to smoke inside my community college's cafeteria, where people ate because it was the designated smoking area.

In 2003 minimum wage was $5.15 nationwide, and gas was just a little over a dollar.

In 2003 people didn't use laptops in school and electronics were confiscated on site, sometimes teachers would 'lose' them and you never got it back, and somehow that was an expected outcome - I lost a laser pointer that way.

In 2003 casual homophobia was mainstream, all your friends, and probably you would be making gay jokes, and transphobia was not a concept. I thought transgender people were the same thing as intersex, I didn't know gender transition was possible.

American society was post 9/11 and highly patriotic, even liberal people were unusually patriotic, and politics were probably the most 'neutral' that I've ever seen, it was nothing like they are now, but in general things trended towards cultural conservatism.

I remember being an outcast because I didn't believe in God, and people would casually tell me I was going to go to Hell.

Nah, 20 years is an entirely different cultural paradigm.
