TVs have gone from bulky, heavy boxes with small, low-res interpolated screens to stupidly high-res, high-dynamic-range panels that can cover the better part of a wall, and weigh a fraction of what their CRT forebears did.
Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge.

Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.
