    Cars, “They don’t build them like the used to”, because crumple zones save lives.

      Yeah I was in school during the 90s. It was bad. Very little awareness back then.

    I’ll start by saying that GUIs have gotten a lot better since the 90s. Many people seem to think Windows 95 or 2000 was the pinnacle of the user interface design, but it was clunky and terrible and I much prefer literally any contemporary GUI.

      A lot more is understood about how users interact with GUIs and how to best make them, but this is often exploited for monetary gain rather than end user experience.

      The current thing that’s annoying me is discords new paid for super reactions. Absolutely by design they have been put in the spot the regular reaction button used to occupy in order to trick you into pressing it.

        Discord is actually a great counterexample to my point, I hate that app.

      Seems to have gotten worse around here actually. The nurses and doctors are getting worse pay and worse working conditions every year, and many quit. They’re also closing down hospitals because of “efficiency” or something.

    Math education, probably. I don’t have any numbers, but there are probably far more people taking calculus in high school than there used to be, and a lot of them are probably taking it earlier than senior year. At least that was my experience compared with my parents’.

    Also, this is unrelated, but it’s strange that this post has (at the moment) 20 comments but only 5 votes.

      What’s more strange is that 5 people today commented on this 4 month old post.

        I was really lonely and scrolling up really old posts in this community to talk in, and maybe others sort their feeds by recent comments meaning my activity pushed it up. Or maybe I just like ascribing more responsibility to myself :P

        Edit: I sort by recent comments, so this post showed up in my feed. I don’t know why the others started commenting on it 10 hours ago though.
