I am very thankful for not having any new years resolutions for almost 6 years and instead preparing for 2030 and for everyone else. [0]

You are now 4 years early in what is going to happen [1]. We don't have much time.

Given their vastly higher supply of willing participants, the gays definitely have it pretty good, but I'd never trade that feeling I get seeing a beautiful woman online or in print.

Advances in tech, especially for web development/front-end development. I still remember the old days when tables were used for designing sites, form fields were almost impossible to customise, cross-browser compatibility was hell, etc.

The fact we don't need to worry about those things anymore is amazing. The fact we can easily design and build an accessible website with a three column layout that resizes nicely when viewed on a mobile or table device is kinda incredible.

Similarly, the possibilities that video games now allow with more advanced tech. Yes, there were amazing games in the old days. But so many games I've enjoyed recently (Donkey Kong Bananza, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, etc) simply wouldn't have worked in the 80s/90s/early 00s.
