Games used to be finished before they were released...bugs me.
Also physical media is hugely important to keep corporations from slurping up everything and charging subscriptions.

I had kids a bit older, so I guess some of my parenting is old school. I like to think I'm more open with feelings than my dad, and my children mean everything to me. However, I cannot abide other parents who let their kids dominate and interrupt adult conversations. Sometimes it's necessary, like if an infant has hurt themselves or some thing, but otherwise a child should not interrupt an adult who's talking and, if they do, the parent should tell them to hold on a minute while the adults talk.
Being annoyed by my friends who can't put their phones down when I'm trying to talk to them because they are doomscrolling on TikTok. Oh and disliking the brainrot that is on TikTok and Instagram. Just hating TikTok.

I think 99% of tattoos look like shit.
We found the Facebook page of a local tattoo shop a few years back.
Jesus Christ, that person should not have been allowed near a biro, let alone a tattoo gun. Every single one looked like it had been done on himself, with his left hand, in prison.
Was his left hand already in prison for ugly drawing? SCNR

The one time I got called a boomer online was because I didn’t understand why artists have “eras” now instead of just albums. I think at the time an artist removed all posts from their socials and the comments are “new era coming soon?” And I asked if that just means they’re dropping a new album
I value mechanical stuff and in person interactions
I own a house
Me too! Well, technically, the bank does own vastly more of my house than I do...

I'm grumpy as fuck
Cooking only from scratch no factory products. Meat also only from the butcher and not supermarket. I know where the butcher gets his meat from. And wanting to learn how to do lots of things myself to be self reliant, less wastefull, enviorment friendly and its mostly cheaper. Dont need no smart toaster!
I've gone away from plastics and only use natural materials, perferable renewable. If something is damaged i can just repair it. Creating less waste, saving money, and the objects have a personal touch and story to it over time.
Leather instead of artificial leather And yes i am building my PC case out of wood and glass if i need a new one

I can't keep up with all the social justice stuff so I just quit caring about most of it.
I think Nick Mullen vocalized it best when people started throwing the Ukranian flag in their usernames and he was miffed that he had to remember another type of "gay" again.
Liberals are out here doing victory laps about pronouns in bios while their actual rights are getting systematically stripped away.
The word you are looking for is virtue signaling. There is a limited amount of good you can do.
The vast vast majority of those people aren't doing shit. It's like when they wanted us to bang pots n pans outside for nurses. It meant nothing.

I eat at like 5:30 to get dinner done and beat the crowds if I'm eating out.
