      • The 90s was about 10 years ago.
      • 2005 was about 10 years ago.
      • The 2010s was about 10 years ago.

      I don’t know why and I know it doesn’t make sense, but apparently everything feels like it was about 10 years ago to my millennial brain.

      Except 2020, that was like last year.

          It kind of did. Shit started going to hell a lot earlier, but Covid (and the associated conspiracy theories etc. going mainstream) turbocharged it.

          I have a method for estimating how many years ago something was - I think of a number and then double it. Used to work pretty well, but nowadays I’m noticing I need to add 4 to the estimate of anything that happened before COVID.
