Memories That Linger: Paying Tribute To The Last Decade’s Unforgettable Losses

“24-hour diners”

“Buttons and knobs in cars

You spent 10 years drilling into my head that I shouldn’t use my phone whilst driving then stuck a big @$$ screen right into every car.

I like to just hit a button or rotate a knob and know the jobs done, not navigate a f@#king menu”

“20+ episode seasons. Now everything seems so rushed that there is no time for proper storytelling or crazy side shenanigans.”

“And not having to wait a gazillion years for the next season!”

“This annoys me way more than the episode count. I could live with the shorter seasons, if we at least got them once a year.”

“Analog stuff. Having everything digital is oppressive. I just want a refrigerator.”

“Subway’s $5 foot long”

“Now Subway’s half foot long is close to $10.”

“Paying once for something you get to keep and continue to use.”

“A sense of community among people who are actually physically in your community.”

“Dude, physical releases for media. One of my favorite gaming memories is the Halo 3 release in my small town gamestop we had like 400 people pick the game up at midnight. It was a ridiculous hype party with a bunch of people with the same interests gathered together and chatting. You don’t get the same thing with digital release. There are benefits to a digital release as well but dang I miss the release night hype that came with blockbuster games releases.”

“My parent’s TV which they bought probably before I was born in 1986 was still working when they finally got rid of it a few years ago to upgrade to a flat screen.

In the meantime, flat screens don’t have nearly as long of a shelf life as those old TVs and even other old appliances.”

“Affordable housing.”

“RSVP-ing to an event- and then actually following through on attending.”

“The entire essence of new music at the music store: The smell of the music store, the feeling of discovery. The listening stations. Anticipating that new release, and being ready to go grab it. Listening to an entire album in the order it was intended, and entering the band’s world in that exact time of their lives. Reading the lyrics from the insert, and appreciating the art/photos inside.

These days there’s value in the convenience, and picking songs from a list. But, we no longer experience music like a story unfolding.”

“Not that there was “much,” but a little bit of class and respect in politics. The idea that our elected leaders and representatives hold respect for the offices they hold is all but gone.”

“Somewhat related, but the “idolizing” of politicians has gotten so far out of hand it’s ridiculous. I remember when, after the elections were over, people moved on with their lives. Sure, some would complain here and there if something wasn’t being done the way they saw fit, but falling to your knees to worship a politician was almost nonexistent.”

“Less than 100 dollars for groceries.”

“Hanging out without phones”

“Good manners, basic respect, common sense.”

“My hair.”
