2021 had GME meme stonks and was the start of NFTs. Also COVID vax started coming out.
Jan 6th
Vaccines!
Party all summer. Oh wait, variants.
I personally got my PhD and moved states to start at my new job. So it was a busy year for me.
Yes, it literally was a continuation of 2020. That's how years work
If you worked in healthcare, there was a pretty clear delineation. We got vaccines and people stopped fucking dying so much.
I opened 2021 to one of our chronic dialysis patients getting admitted for Covid, so severely short of breath they needed to go to the critical care stepdown unit, and I thought "this is it " By the time I was able to arrive at the hospital to run their dialysis, this person was already off oxygen and up walking around their room.
Come to find out, they had been vaccinated. I'm told that was one of the first people in the State of Massachusetts who got Covid after being vaccinated, and the difference in severity was so dramatic I'll never forget it.
That and movie theaters reopening are the only reasons I remember 2021. It was just a lot less scary even though I was still working like crazy.
I really have this. It's like I've lost a whole year of my life.
Pandemic was the best time of my life. Everyone I know(except for one guy) hated it. Me and my buddy enjoyed the shit out of it.
- Didn't have to commute.
- Saved money on home cooking.
- Meetings started on time and you didn't have to walk to and from them.
- If I needed to take delivery of something, no problem, my home is my office.
- Got a 5 minute break? Great, filled the washing machine up and got some laundry done.
- All communication was in email or on chats, making everything said super easy to track.
- Didn't have to meet people. By far the best thing for me.
Y'all remember the early days if covid when we were buying toilet paper and accepting imminent death?
I most vividly remember the Italian experience where some guys sister died of covid at home, and they were just like "wrap the body with a sheet and leave it somewhere safe, we'll come get it in a week if youre still alive then."
I remember the early reports of covid surviving for 5 days on surfaces, and thats when I was like "Whelp, we're fucked."
I'm using a mood app, and apparently 2021 was one of my best years ever. Isolation, taking hikes, cycling a lot and less social obligations.
My entire memory of 2021 is just vtubers
I remember catching Covid 3 times. Hooray for being "essential" in a place full of assholes.
Wasn't 2021 the year in which Meta announced the Metaverse?
Best year of my life, got over my ex of 20 years leaving me, GME happened, met my now fiancé, got paid for not doing any work for a few months then quit my job.
Honestly? I couldn't remember anything either. But then I looked at my camera roll and had a fun trip down memory lane! Lots of discord DnD and TableTop Simulator, outdoors adventures, and memes. It was a good year for memes.
Was in a deep depression hole and was very isolated. I'm very glad I managed to overcome that.
My grandma and Betty White died
ABBA. That's the single most important thing of 2021. Their new album. Remember
I just remember that somewhere in the balkans some sort of police office day counter broke and started adding days to december like 45 of dec 2020... maybe it was edited but it felt funny.
I remember one thing about 2021.
The iMac finally got its colors back.
Worst year of my life.
God those years are all a blur. It feels like I've had a chunk of my life stolen from me
I remember my parent's divorce and some vague stuff.
I think I had major surgery then
Unfortunately it's burned into my memory one way or another, yet it still blends into the surrounding years.
One of my best friends moved out of state and we went to Colorado to send him off, I got back and my dad was sick (not COVID at least), he passed away exactly a week before my birthday. The next month I went on a trip to Vegas through work (I was encouraged to keep the plan despite the circumstances... Ultimately it was a positive experience overall).
A remarkable year personally in good ways and bad, but another stone in the stream of upheavals in recent years overall.
Time has really been flying since the pandemic
I broke 6 figures for the first time in 2021. My income gains over the pandemic were word and unexpected.
Anyone feeling this way was traumatized by the crap the Democrats and Fauci did in 2020 and 2021. "Rules for thee, but not for me."
This is why half the country votes Republican, and I can see where they are coming from. Anyone who experiences this "pandemic skip" and still thinks their politicians handled it correctly has Stockholm syndrome.
