Which was better, the 2000s or the 2010s?

2000s, but the 90s were still better. In the 90s there was no war with Iran, no deepfakes, a lower wealth gap, lower inflation, no giant noisy AI data centers, Robin Williams was still alive, and Disney still had creative integrity.

Same in the 2000s. 90s had war with Iraq, gulf war, operation Desert Storm. Iran was recovering from the '80-'88 Iran-Iraq war when US supported Saddam with chemical weapons trying to break Iran after the 1979 revolution overthrew the US/UK installed Shaw since 1953. End of the 90s had the y2k hysteria ;)

90s were more exciting for gaming for sure, 2010s is where it all went wrong. Well for the US it was 9/11/01 that the US never got past or rather seized to start on / accelerate the path to the authoritarian plutocracy that the US is today.

The 90s were still better, because we didn't have the massive AI data centers, we didn't have 9/11, and America had at least some shred of sanity.
