  • Very true.

    Theres no innovation any more. We basically saw the peak in the 2000s of innovation. It is now solely driven to suck us dry of every cent and steal our data to sell it back to us on a subscription model.

    Vr is one fun new tech though. Its also not new, we had vr in the 80s. It was awful ofc.



  • Ahhh I see. you are speaking of the electronic bleep blorps! Yeah, I mean electronic one could argue started in the 70’s as well but yes.

    Also I’m not sure that hardware was ever that low priced. Good hardware has always been spendy. But anyone could still make that music today if they wanted to . The synths are still around. Propellerhead reason is still out there for free if you wanted.





  • I always see this stuff and really it has nothing to do with age. I think its the kid or parents interest in teaching and learning. When I was 9 I knew what an 1899 Victrola was (and no, despite my steam profile, I wasnt born in 1901). I knew what typewriters were and had a couple. I knew what a john Deere single row plow was.

    I’m not really a history buff though. I just figured throughout life that we should know about things that came before us. I keep learning more about old things and some new things daily.

    I think its just ignorance. If you are 13 today and seriously dont know what a CD is, thats just idiocy. maybe if you dont know what a cassette is I’d get it, but still. Its not hard to learn.


  • Yeah I get that. “Old” to me is maybe around the 80s. I grew up around a lot of 80s stuff.

    The music i listen to (since I was little ) is usually 60s through 80s, because those are the records I had. Some 90s and select new indie artists now too.

    An “old” car is a 1969 chevelle. A 1991 f 150 is not an old car. The Xbox 360 is new. Etc. I regularly drive a 30 year old car and notice nothing I want or need (also I hate new cars but separate issue)

    A huge thing about this is the tech. We went through insane technical revolutions in a super short period of time. Kids now dont have that. GTA 5 is how old, 14 years?

    Tech basically peaked in 2012. Nothing has really been improving or groundbreaking for the common person since then. I think thats why when I think of 2012, I think oh yeah bout 4 years ago huh.

    I mean my 2010 macbook still works perfectly. My 2001 windows 98 laptop, not as much.













  • I learned early in life (from ocd parenting figures) that you have to set a certain level of clean you need in your life to how much of your life is taken up by it.

    I know people who spend their entire waking hours cleaning. Can’t have 1 dirty dish. Floor cannot have a spec. Lawn must be pure green grass so kill all dandelions and any “weed” (also this is terrible for the environment but anyway). All glass absolutely spotless. Its sad how much of their life they spend just cleaning, to me anyway.

    I just have a rule that I don’t let things be disgusting. Do I have dishes in the sink? Yes. Is it overflowing and molding? No. I vacuum and sweep maybe once every couple weeks or if it gets visually dirty faster.

    I have way more important things in life than keeping things spotlessly clean.

    Making a bed? Never done once in adult life. Complete waste of time for me. washing bedsheets and blankets, obviously yes we have to do that.
