I don't even really think this is true. The fifties sucked for many reasons but it was probably the best time to be a gay until about seven or eight years ago. Black people were just arriving in the inner cities, the decay hadn't occurred yet. The housing projects and all that bullshit was either in its infancy or not even conceived yet. I'm sure women had plenty of chances to be super fucking annoying in the fifties too, I wouldn't worry about them.
Spoken like a true incel.

Yeah well the fifties had a lot fewer pathetic male feminists debasing themselves for pity sex, so I guess score that one in the pro column for the decade. Still, I'd rather endure you ladies than have to go to a protestant church every Sunday.

Nobody forces you to be here. Hell I doubt anybody wants you here.

Don't cut yourself on that edge.

As much as everyone has the happy feels about the 80's and 90's I distinctly remember everything being a pain in the ass.

Everything today is SO much more convenient that I would posit that every new decade is better than the last with the advancements we have.

Medical science between the 90's and today is black and white. The things that we do today outpatient vs what would be invasive back then is crazy.

Ability to find information today vs the 90's, no contest.

Ability to connect with people today Vs 90's, no contest.

Cars today are way better.

I get to have food today that was largely unavailable or really hard to find in the 90's.

I guess you could say we had closer families in the 90's and that we certainly had more organic music, but all in all I think that most people forget how inconvenient everything was back then.

Its so much easier to connect but we have never been less connected. Convenience isn't always good.

I was thinking this as well. Today is all about convenience. The amount of things we can do with a cell phone is insane.

But it didn't seem inconvenient at the time. It's only inconvenient if it feels inconvenient.

I suppose that is true. Although I certainly remember being frustrated when you couldn't find information about something you were trying to learn about.

You make a good point but with those advancements come drawbacks as well. Privacy will soon be non existent with facial recognition cameras, cell phones, etc.

Many jobs will eventually be taken over by technology like self driving vehicles, pilotless planes, automated cooks, and cashiers will be phased out by a cashless society.
