What part of "No Soliciting" is hard to understand? Don't knock. Don't make it weird.

          filthqueen666 I miss flip phones. They were indestructible.

          i recently made the switch to flippy and will never go back. highly recommend ditching the pocket computer and re-living the chance to be BORED in the world again. ironically, the only negative that isn't minor inconvenience when coming across a QR code menu or something, is the fact that (old man yell at cloud time)... everyone else stays in phone world when you're sitting at the table or whatever. probably warrants its own thread actually, but man... we've really fucked our society with this shit and not having a smart phone really makes you see how nuts it all went without us barely noticing

              Randall just thinking about QR code menus gets my fist shaking at the nearest cloud

              hahah it shits me too... especially at pubs and bars, where in australia table service was neeeever a thing, you always had to get up, go to the bar, talk to the bartender, bring your beers back yourself... now the bar lines are longer because the bartenders have to work their way through the QR code orders. really gets that fist shakin.

                It is also impossible to read news online not just due to the abundance of ads (which I understand is necessary to the very existence of most news sources) but just how the ads are incorporated in the overall format. The article itself starts as a sliver, overwhelmed by the cookies pop up and various ads and then you have to scroll down only to have the ugliest line breaks with more ads. To say nothing of the fact that your reward for grappling with all this is to feel bad because the news is all bad.

                  Try the AdBlockPlus extension and/or the Brave web browser. You can also set up a Pi Hole to prevent your home router from accepting any ad traffic.

                      sicboy speaking of old men, ya'll ever try to read the Hoffman forums?

                      I am well and truly BANNED FOR LIFE from their Meme thread.

                          Sprague Dawley I'm shocked they have any sense of humor to even HAVE a meme thread

                            It's no exaggeration to say the average age there is 70. And not the cool nifty type of 70 either. More the "Beatles all day, I havent even bothered to listen to anything made after 1983" kind of 70.

                            And if you even hint at Boomers being the spoilt shitheads who were handed the moon on a stick by the "Greatest Generation" and fucked the whole thing to hell, they will shoot your forum account into the sun.

                            Oh i know haha. Honestly, I'm shocked how fast that forum moves in general. I have a few threads on my watch list, mostly for jazz reissue stuff, but man, they NERD OUT on mastering and crap.

                            BARELY HUMAN my smartphone free day was actually awesome. I know I’m pretty compulsive about using it so it felt good to break the habit.
                            Also, I find that I enjoy the internet good parts of the internet (like these here forums) a lot more on desktop.

                              The local chain has an extra dollar charge for breakfast burritos due to the egg shortage and I paid it anyway and this burrito SUCKS

                              this is a phenomenon that I thought was specific to the northwest but it seems to be spreading. Do people stand in single file lines at the bars in your area? Nothing gets me my old man back hair standing like a long bar line while a long bar filled with stools to sit in and counters to lean on sit vacant
