Imagine being back on January 1st, 2010 and hearing what would happen this decade. What are the things you would have found the strangest? Mine is that Friends would be arguably the biggest TV show of the decade. |

The Cubs win the World Series, and that the host of The Apprentice would be elected President. In the same year no less. I know it only applies to us here but it was definitely weird with the whole bigfan & Three Wisemen saga. You can't make stuff like that up. |

The Apprentice/President thing for sure. Also, the #MeToo movement and the rise of cancel culture. |

The lack of quality movies. TV content was great but the list of best movies is pretty horrible. |

Related to the board only: The disappearance of the daily show threads and the near extinction in interest of the shows and hosts at all (with the exception of Julie). Boyd and Frank had good ones with Trump and cancel culture. |

It was particularly highlighted to me over this holiday season at parties where I saw people in corners staring into their phones. I worked nights this past weekend, the schedule was pretty light with most people off for the holidays. At one point, I came into our break room with six coworkers present, all on their phones. I sat with a cup of coffee and waited. It was 23 minutes before anyone said a word aloud, and then it was one guy getting the attention of another guy to show him something on his phone. I made three stops in the break room in the second half of the shift Saturday, I'm quite certain two guys remained in their chairs, moving only their thumbs, for about six straight hours. |
