    Google Docs Editors is inferior to any office productuvity suite, and it’s overused in the professional world.

    I don’t want your fucking Sheets link. Email me the Excel file with _v1 at the end.

    • The internet was way better before it became a giant shopping mall.
    • Those cars that don’t have the flecks in the paint look like children’s toys.

    Then, I have a couple that pre-date even boomers by many years 😅:

    • Handkerchiefs kick the shit out of paper tissues.
    • Cars have made the world a worse place.

    Music in restaurants and bars is just too loud. I know why the music is loud, but I am still going to shake my fist at it like Grandpa Simpson.

      Same. It’s getting worse over time too, I can hardly hear anything anyone is saying in restaurants and bars anymore.

      I felt my inner boomer grow stronger after writing that.

      I’ve thought this since I was young. Background music? Cool, keep it quiet so we can talk.

      Does this mean loud music is bad? No, I’ve been a put my head in the PA speakers metal head since I was young too. But I don’t expect a waiter to serve me then.

      Beyond that, it’s a known problem that as you get older audio distractions become more severe, and I’m sure there’s a neurodivergent dimension to it too, so it’s one of those things where we are actively punishing people for wanting to be out and socialise. Also sure it’s one of those things where everyone thinks they have to do it but don’t

    I’m not subscribing to anything. If I buy something, it’s fully functional, and it’s mine. There is no ongoing relationship between me and the manufacturer. Done.

    Sneaker culture is incredibly weird. Shoes made by children in China with a limited edition color are in such high demand that there are sites where people refresh F5 constantly hoping to have the honor to pay hundreds and hundreds for shoes that cost $7.50 to make. Then half of the time people won’t even wear them outside, they’ll put them in a bag and change shoes when they get to work or whatever. Or some might not even wear the shoes at all and just display them.

    I’m an old soul in this sense. I love a quality goodyear welted shoe, and made in USA, UK, or Italy usually. An Allen Edmonds strandmok is a fantastic everyday shoe for me. I like to purchase nice things in general, use them, take care of them. I really hate throwaway culture as well.

    Please nobody hate me for this, I’m a bit self conscious being an admin of my own instance and don’t want to piss people off haha. If you’re into gym shoe culture that’s awesome. If I knew you in real life I’d probably make fun of you for a minute if I saw you walking outside in socks carrying your $400 limited edition sneakers, but then you can make fun of me for one of the thousands of things I do and it’s all in good fun.

    Cars shouldn’t be loaded with user-facing technology. Bring back analog dashboards and buttons for climate control!

    I don’t want to have a subscription for everything. It used to be possible to pay a one-time fee for software and use it as long as I want. Now I have to pay a monthly fee and once I finish paying, I can’t use the software anymore. And it’s not like I constantly get updates for the software. Often it stays the same for months or years.

    I understand that software has a price, but no way these prices are sometimes justified…
