Thoughts on the 2000s
Irrelevant. That was 30 years ago gramps
>>538331378I was born in 1986, so I was among the last to have a normal upbringing before the mass retardation. Any specific questions or are you purposely being obtuse?
>>538331378the come-down arc for the 90's. if the 90s are a night out on ecstasy, the 2000s are the couch lock with the bong afterwards. and i say those things not because I endorse them but because literally everyone was on X and smoking weed and it's a nearly perfect analogy.
>>538331586What was life in Canada like overall in the 2000s?
>>538331718sounds like that could make sense, xirt. gen y
>>538331718GenX are really worse scum than Boomers.
>>538331788In the 2000's I was a teenager. We had house parties on the weekends where sometimes the kids from other towns would come to us or we would travel to them. Very common to have a bf or a gf a couple towns over. We all used MSN messenger to keep in touch.
When i was a kid i hated the 2000s mostly because i was told how much better the 90s were.Im big into music and was too young to experience the grunge wave, instead my childhood coincided with nu metal, butt rock like creed and nickleback, and britny spearsBut having experienced the 2010s made me retrospectively miss the 2000s. the constant culture war and wokeness of the 2010s made me realize how good, not great the 2000s were. before social media, when video games were still for teen boys, before streaming, back when there was some actual variety in music and it wasnt just pop and pop rap, before cape shit movies became ubiquitous
Early 2000’s were the last truly great period in America where America felt like America. When 9/11 happened, that launched the Big Brother spy state (Patriot Act, NSA, TSA), but that took awhile to “feel” so most of the early 2000’s were still fine as they were rolling out that infrastructure behind the scenes to make us less free. Once social media, iPhones, Obama, and the recession hit at the end of the decade, though, it was over. By 2008/09, America was then more “internationally aware” than it had ever been, and America started feeling increasingly like Europe. Weak, secular, feminized, more “educated” but much dumber, all while feeling smug about it. And Big Brother.
>>538332092By that way, I just thought of this, A lot of the girls would drink too much and end up throwing up and passing out. Every week there were a few. We told them to not drink so fast, but without fail 2-5 girls would throw up and be comatose drunk every weekend.
>>538332627i graduated in 09 but in grade 11 i threw a new years party so killer it got mentioned name in several grad quotes
>>538331788It really was not much different than now just less technology. By the 2000s my school and everywhere in my area and city was already jeeted out, full of browns and blacks and immigrants. They taught you the same woke shit in school minus specifically the trans stuff. Trends were pretty trash, media was pretty trash. Movies were still watchable as it was the last period where Hollywood regularly put out decent/good movies. Music was great because the internet was more available so unknown artists were being put online and you could find all of their stuff for free.The only thing that was much better in the context of growing up was that there were no modern smartphones or any of the mass online social media slop that came with them. Sure you gamed too but you actually spent most of your time outside playing with your friends and doing cool shit. I lived in a big city but it has lots of parks and green space so we’d alway be there making sling shots or coming up with other kid ideas. It was also the golden age of skateboarding so we’d all be skating around finding industrial areas with big loading docks and rails to skate.Generally if you were an adult, it was the same shit as today. If you were a kid or young, it was honestly better. I see lots of medically diagnosed anxiety and ADHD these days caused by screen time and smartphones.
>>538332627Did you and your peers spend a lot of time in front of computers and mobile phones, playing games, or using the nascent Internet? Did it resemble modern-day electronic slavery?
>>538332866We used MSN messenger on PC's like text messages. We had cell phones that were actually just phones for calling people. I played some internet computer games and I had non internet connected PS2 on console. I remember when my family first upgraded from dial up internet to high speed. It was like going from a horse and buggy to a car technologically.
>>538333193So, you spent more time in real life rather than in front of a monitor screen?
>>538331378The last good year of my life was 2009, so pretty good. Peak was 2007-2008.
>>538333534Much more. The internet didn't follow you around like today.
>>538333684Did the first half of the 2010s differ significantly from the 2000s?
>>538334060it was the start of the influencer era. 2010 Instagram went online and youtube had millions of stupid videos of youtubers doing stupid stuff for clicks and did product placement.that was not a thing pre 2010
>>538334060This is the time when the mass retardation began. There were some positives like LimeWire letting you download unlimited music, movies and porn for free, but it didn't last long. Once social media became normalized, it was over. Everyone became retarded and still are to this day. It was traumatic to witness the change.
>>538331378Over the past 50 years, the Japanese economy was at its worst in 1998 - 2003.However, in dollar terms of GDP was second in the world at that time.And now, Japan’s economy is performing very well, and it is a comfortable place to live.However, in dollar terms of GDP is fourth in the world now.Interesting.
>>538331378The first half of it was great. Some elements of the 90s held on briefly, but with 9/11 + the GWOT news cycle, there was a little fearmongering atmosphere about. The dot com bubble bursting and 9/11 was a one-two punch that killed the feel-good era of the 90s, ultimately. Games and entertainment generally were very experimental before the 2008 crisis. The internet was still a frontier for nerds and hobbyists. I was a teenager through most of the 2000s but I would like to have been a few years older to take advantage of a few niceties that I wasn't yet mature enough for; skinnier girls especially
>>538334199>>538334309Did the first half of the 2000s differ significantly from the second half of the 2000s?
>>538334429>somebody got to close his sell 20 years latergoddamn son
>>538334966Depends where you were. The vibe was basically the same in NZ with the exception of the advent of mass flip phone adoption. The economy was pretty damn good (3.7% unemployment in 2007!). I guess in America it was different as the wheels truly came off the Bush presidency, Iraq went really sour, and the financial crisis hit in late 2007
>>538331378It was pretty shit but the bread and circuses were good so nobody cared
>>538334966Technology had improved somewhat, but people still resembled the laid-back crowd of the '90s. Most didn’t pay much attention to politics, yet the looming shadow and impending doom of social media was just beginning.
>>538335493Was Canada predominantly white at that time?
>>538335577It's still predominately white now, just less so.
>>538334966not as much as second half of 2000s and first half of 2010 differed.first half of 2000s had myspace, then facebook started, but facebook was not that much different from myspace.tiktok on the other hand seems very different from the other two
>>538335650In the 2000s, the West was white; it only turned brown in the 2010s and 2020s, didn't it?
Not much of believer in nostalgia these days. If I was 30 in 2006 like now I would be the same probably.
Better than 2010s and 2020s, worse than 1990s and 1980s
>>538336361I don't know what it's called, but I constantly feel like I was born in the wrong time
>>538336435Why is it better than in the 2010s and 2020s, and why is it worse than in the 1990s and 1980s?
It was the equivalent of dog excrement.
>>538336674Why?
>>538336720Go conduct your interview study somewhere else you dirty marxist charlatan
>>538331378The start of the decline of the west. >Gwb JrI still want him to see a bullet. Worst president on par with trump. At least Trump pusses libs off. > Muh 911The country coming together blaming Muslims who were cajoled into doing it because of Jewish tricks. The god bless America shit on all of the signs and blaming Muslims left a bad taste in my mouth when deep down I knew it was all fake and gay. > Curiously conservative Because of gwb Jr it was curiously the insufferable type of conservativism that comes from evangelicals. The fakest and gayest kike dick sucking faggots. Honestly all of the gay shit w and problems we see today stem from 9/11, gwb, rumsfeld, and all of the kikery of that era.
Hilarious. So the methodological operationalization is>Post stupid question >Have some shills act as data fillers to incentivize anon to reply>Press real anons to give relevant dataOf course the shill scripts go into the database as wellInteresting live case of auto-datapoisoning
>>538336671
good start but fuck me it went downhill fast
Tell me Stanford failure charlatans, how often do you plan to spam the thread? 100 times, 5000 times? You want at least 2500 to be able to sell the shill data fillers as relevant n, else funding is gone.
>>538337031> t went downhill fastWhen exactly?
>>538337158Log the following bot:Nigger nigger Nigger nigger
>>538331378It was the pivoting decade from good times to modern dystopia. 2000 started with propagandized fear of computers fucking things up because they stored years with 2 digits, followed by 9-11, the patriot act, and the loss of freedom. It ended with the financial collapse of 2008, and the election of Obama. Oh, and food hadn't yet been slopified to the point where everyone was fat, kids still played outside, and cellphones only started to become commonplace around 2003-2005.It was almost like the year 2000 flipped a switch, or the unseen ruler of the world changed.
And obviously another llm generated data fillerHey faggot just go for full fake, nobody is actually going to read your study
>>538337519I still have my old Razr phone in a drawer somewhere. I'd use it now if there were any towers left.
Also post links to other platforms where you are faking the data. Lemme guess plebbit and the replies are exclusively new accounts with hidden post history
Really, just fake the database completely and claim the survey was deleted by the platform. There is not a single empirical study in the field of online communities in the past 30 years that is not entirely fake. The data poison rot in the niche is so ingrained that your bachelor thesis is not going to change much. If anything you show that you understood the niche and are able to adopt to its traditions
Under no circumstances try to argue that the feedback did not produce a large enough n to conduct a quantified analysis. That's going to make you fail. First lesson rookie, honesty is not in demand in science. Being a sleak scammer is very much the only thing that counts
If that disgusts you, now is the time to quit before you waste another decade in that scamdustry and some day blow your brains out at how fake and gay science is
And don't delude you into thinking that landing a grant, publishing a paper or getting your phd makes anybody read your shit. Its all about incestuous circle jerking.If you are reall interested in furthering your own knowledge and understanding never make your hobby your job
>>538331378>Rawr xDis all I have to say
