What opinion just makes you look like you aged 30 years

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…

Dating should go back to face to face meetings. People need to get out and see others more, just generally.

No thank you. I can barely stand hearing somebody through a wall, why would I want to see them too?

Because dating hopefully takes place with individuums, to whom this limitation does not apply.

Not meeting up with friends at a loud venue, I like to talk to them not try to shout over the music.

Basically any opinion of the modern Internet I give.

I’m a certified computer expert, but I sound like a Luddite when it comes to anything mainstream.

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

I just want to be able to adjust the stereo without looking away from the road. Is that too much to ask?

Interesting fact: I just got a new ev (so a battery hooked up to a computer with wheels) - and it has buttons! It also has dials for sound and climate.

Now to be fair it also takes interacting with a touchscreen to turn on the heated seats, but I’d say it’s progress in the right direction.

Bring back stick-shift, too. People shouldn’t be driving if they have no grasp of the mass and inertia of their car. We should be able to disengage the engine at will. And we should have to pay attention when we drive.
