What old person thing do you do now that you wouldn't have guessed you'd do when you were younger? (piefed.social)

Live in the past, is mine. I will listen to things over and over because some songs or even podcast episodes, rewind me back to times where I felt comfortable in. I do sometimes poke my head out to see where things are currently in the present, but nothing around really makes me gravitate to anything current-day. But, then I just go back to my hole in living in the past.

People used to tell old people to get over it about them remembering things as they were all of the time. I'm understanding why they do that. Sometimes the present really truly sucks.

The meta verse has 500 users, total, worldwide. Out of 8 billion people. It's not exactly a popular new tech.

AI on the other hand, fits the description much better. It is very useful, and people who reject it out of spite are missing out. Sure, it's being shoved down our throats in literally every product, whether it makes sense or not, I get the sentiment. But rejecting it completely makes you miss it's useful applications.
