Unless it’s a service animal, I don’t like when dogs are in public buildings. Tired of trying to buy food at the grocery store but having to dodge dogs and avoid stepping over their leashes. This anger is mostly directed at their owners as I’m skittish around dogs I don’t know.

TRUE

Even streamers who I like in short doses like Hasan can’t get through a fifteen minute edited video without saying the same thing five hundred times. It’s suitable as background noise, but if I’m listening to a streamer I’d almost always be better off listening to music.

To be fair, I doubt a true boomer would be able to understand any part of this comment. Any person born before 1993 can’t jpeg, all they know is download virus

online play ruined games

you used to have to haul your tower and heavy-ass CRT down to your bro’s place and set up a network without the benefit of a router and if somebody called you a slur you could walk over and dump mountain dew on their keyboard

Honestly? Yeah. Like not even game play or graphics. Solely on the argument that we went from shareware to micro transactions. What a fuckin bummer.

Arcades need a revival. No bar arcades.

An alcohol-free arcade would be heaven because all of the most obnoxious people would be over at the barcade down the road.

My hometown has a place called the galloping ghost arcade. I think it’s the largest arcade in North America. One of my favorite places.

I would amend this to anyone under 40

you aren’t supposed to study Jewish Kabbalah until after 40 because it’s a technology for making yourself insane (see: the movie π) but by then you’ve already done your bit for social reproduction presumably

Forcing people to do uncompensated labor, such using smart phones or the internet to make medical appointments and fill out a ton of forms, make payments, and/or self-check out is bad.

Touch screens in cars are bad.

The internet (especially mobile internet since about 2012ish) is bad.

Most modern software sucks, usability has gone backwards. I blame Apple (and Microsoft following them). I use Linux, have for years, Libre Office needs some serious front end fixing, it’s been bad since it was star office.

Give me back my MTV.
