missing-2024

Man, I really miss 2024 because ______.

• I like writing the number 4 more than 5, and now I have to write 2025 instead of 20242
• everything was simpler back then -- technology these days is getting out of hand, and I can't figure out what I'm supposed to support1
• December is a better month than January, and now I have to endure almost all of 2025 to get back to it2
• we had the Olympics in 2024 and we just don't do that kind of thing in 20252
• I was so young and excited about life back in 2024; now I'm old and jaded8
