      Yeah fair, apparently not. I dunno man, it’s just annoying being on the internet. Why do I have to caveat some dumb comment with a bunch of antecedents so you don’t assume I thought 1998 was a classless utopia.

      It’s pretty obvious what’s meant by the comment. We got to see a world that mostly functioned as anticipated where average folks with a bit of graft could earn a decent living and take care of their family. That doesn’t mean every one of us experienced it. We still know what the world looked like then, and we know what it looks like now.

      And I’m also pretty sure you knew what I meant too

        The problem is that there do exist people who think '98 was some kind of utopia. They unironically say they were actually good old days. I’ve had multiple people tell me, IRL, without a hint of sarcasm, that everybody had it good in the '90s unless they were lazy.

        On the internet, nobody can see how you walk, so if it talks like a duck, you assume it’s a duck. I only know what you write, I cannot read your mind.
