    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.

    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.

      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.

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

    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.

    • Globulart@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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.

      • afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        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.

    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.

      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…

        I've been in complete remission for over a year. All it took was reprogramming my immune system to kill cancer.

      Any more lifehacks to share?

  • MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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.

    Y’all remember the early days if covid when we were buying toilet paper and accepting imminent death?

    I most vividly remember the Italian experience where some guys sister died of covid at home, and they were just like “wrap the body with a sheet and leave it somewhere safe, we’ll come get it in a week if youre still alive then.”

    I remember the early reports of covid surviving for 5 days on surfaces, and thats when I was like “Whelp, we’re fucked.”

      Yeps. My kids were home and my wife was a nurse going into one of the hardest hit areas of US each day. I ended up working from home the first few months until enough stuff broke that I had to come in. I lost about one person I knew per month for the first four months.

      source
    • HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Fortunately I had accepted imminent death decades ago so while everyone around me was having existential breakdowns I could wander around, hand out hot water bottles, tea, and fuzzy blankets, and see how many times in a row it can be Taco Tuesday before they start to question their sanity.

      It’s okay to feel that way, even if manage you turn down the intensity. You’re still whole and deserving of love, friend.

      • whoisearth@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Intensity has dropped but even as recent as last night cried again. It’s a complex situation that includes us still being friends.

  • thorbot@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Honestly? I couldn’t remember anything either. But then I looked at my camera roll and had a fun trip down memory lane! Lots of discord DnD and TableTop Simulator, outdoors adventures, and memes. It was a good year for memes.
