Wuhan

Before COVID was a thing, Wuhan was actually quite a nice city. Located in the central region of China, Wuhan is the capital city of the Hubei province and has a population of over 11 million.

This city has a rich history left by ancient Chinese dynasties so you will find many historical structures such as the Yellow Crane Tower.

The city is also situated right beside Yangtze River, the 3rd longest river in the world. The Yangtze River Bridge is also located here, and is the world's 2nd longest suspension bridge.

As for cuisine, Wuhan is mostly known for its soups and noodle dishes.

Though, Wuhan may be the last place you'd want to be during the summer, as temperatures get scorching hot.
Pre-COVID Wuhan: *lively busy atmosphere with many street attractions to see*

Post-COVID Wuhan: *cricket noises*

Windows 7

In retrospect, one of the greatest operating systems ever created. It was simple, it was modern, and it performed flawlessly (unlike Win 10 which is constantly riddled with bugs). It is ironic how Windows 10 adopted a more minimal user interface design, yet it is twice as more convoluted to use than Windows 7.

Using Windows 7 feels like freedom. Using Windows 10 feels like oppression.
Man I miss Windows 7. Although I like the design and function of Windows 10 (and 11), I really do miss the old Aero UI with the glass-paneled taskbar and such. I also miss those Win 7 themes that had those UI sound effects that change with it.

And overall everything in Win 7 just felt so much simpler and way less intrusive. It felt like it was your home.

(P.S. are their seriously no GIFs of Windows 7??)

Windows XP

Back then: one of the best operating systems on the market.

Currently: one of the most overrated old Windows operating systems.

It was as great as it could've been at the time, that's all I can say. But the cartoon-ish blue GUI was no doubt very outdated compared to the more refined Aero UI of Windows 7 (and Vista).

Windows XP didn't really give me fond memories as a child (6-9 y/o), but Win 7 sure did (10-12 y/o).

Me: Windows XP was meh, but Windows 7 was awesome

Fidel Castro

It hasn't been said here yet, but this schmuck of a dictator died on November 25, 2016. He reigned Cuba far too long.

Flawed to the core by communist ideology, this man only did the bare minimum to differentiate himself from the likes of Soviet Russia or North Korea, but was still FAR far behind with regards to the 'utopia' he and its citizens envisioned. He was more antihero than hero. His cruelness and bigotry negates his goodwill. While he took the nation two steps foreword, the citizens took a toll of four steps backward.
Doris: Yo you ever heard of Fidel Castro?
Boris: Nope
Doris: He's that Cuba dictator who went full communist and ultimately fucked up his country
Boris: Oh shiittt
Doris: He would literally kill anyone for not having the same music tastes as him
Boris: Wtfff
Doris: He's dead now though
Boris: Yooo lets goooo

histrionic personality disorder

his-tree-on-ik · A personality disorder chiefly characterized by an insatiable and excessive desire to seek attention from others. They come off as highly sociable and extroverted and present themselves in an overly dramatic flirtatious manner. They become easily upset and resentful when they're not the center of attention.
Brad: Yo dude that hot chick over there is signalling me!
Chad: Be careful, that lady is known to have histrionic personality disorder. She'll sleep with any men she can find, but beware of her fits when you don't give her the attention she craves, which is virtually insatiable. Hence why everyone is ignoring her.
