Planned obsolescence is just pure corporate greed.

For disabled people like me- being able to control some appliances from my phone allows me to be more independent and do things on my own. So they do have some uses!

I wish this was the case today!!!

Literally walked out of a restaurant last week when we were informed we had to scan the menu, which required providing personal information, and then, in addition, you had to place your order from their app. Bye.

I just don't use Apps. My explanation is: I don't use Apps. And thus I apparently have three heads with the looks I get.

Wired earbuds also act as an antenna for phones that have built in FM radio. We don't need to stream everything.

If anything, I'm judging modern people who doesn't learn from history. I mean, there are still people who parade the nazi symbol around or say that black people benefited from slavery.

I can't stress enough how sad it is to have grown up in the usa, to have been spoon fed "the american dream" my entire childhood completely believing it was going to be a reality one day...just to have it crumble and disappear the older i got. One full time job is just not enough anymore....i know far too well from experience.

And can we please get rid of all the silent TV’s playing c**p that no one actually wants to watch yet our stupid brains keep being drawn to and hypnotise by. I’m here to socialise and eat - stop flooding my senses with c**p!

let me correct that, kids today should be able to play outside more, safely

I always make sure to not be on my phone if I’m outside with friends or family. I only wish some of my friends would do the same instead of scrolling through their phone and not paying attention to what I’m saying

I hated that all the way back to the 80s and haven't changed my mind yet. Paying huge amounts for torn clothing is insane.

Yes, but it is a tree instead of a porch

I have to disagree with this one. As much as I love physical books, Ebooks are better. I have 5000 books on my kindle. I have a tiny, 1 bedroom flat, if my 5000 ebooks were in physical form they’d overflow my flat

I'm sure this is part of the reason I still have a close relationship with my adult children.

Eh... late Gen-X here. This always turned into my highly abusive father insulting everyone at the table. I'm good not doing this

Still do it every night... No TV, no phones. We talk as a couple, soon to be family as we welcome foster children into our home.

I think the "family dinner" reflects a time when the family members spent the whole day apart, and only had a few hours each night to be together. I work from home about half the time, my wife doesn't work, and the kids are homeschooled. By dinnertime, I'm ready for a break!

At least one night a week. People have busy lives but making time for the people you love is important.

Don't any families still do this? We looked forward to it as kids, and me with my own kids.

Yeah, this is really important. I mean, you can even order takeout over cooking a meal. Just eat it together at the dinner table

There was always a fight round our table...lol , us kids I mean...x

Soon we'll have projections of family members around the table for dinner. Because that'll be "cool".

I hated doing this as I was the one who was hit first.

We always eat dinner together, even if its on TV trays in the living room.

So we do this most days. I love it. My kids are teenagers now and we have great conversations.

Dayumm, it's been a while since this happened in my family. We're not toxic with each other, but at times, it does feel like we're just tolerating each other's existence. Eating together at the dinner table feels awkward and I'm not going to lie, I feel forced. Everyone is so quiet too, and just eating in silence.

It used to be a nightly thing growing up but I hated it. Food went from pots and pans, to ceramic dishes to our plates. Why??? It created more dishes. Then someone wants to have a discussion, usually about something serious or a lecture, something. Meanwhile I'm busy just trying to eat. Every now and then is alright, but since it's just me and my grown daughter we feel more comfortable just eating on the couch watching a good movie. We chat other times.

We do this every day. Phones are not allowed at the table. And although I'm not religious myself (my husband is), before we eat we hold hands and tell each other what we are grateful for that day. Only 1 day a week do we eat on the sofa and watch a movie, together as a family.

Unless you were working, at dinner time you were clean, dressed, and prepared to make conversation.

You can't eat dinner at the dinner table with the family in the UK. Most houses are so small there's no room in the kitchen for a table and no dining room either. But you CAN eat dinner with the family sitting in the living room with a plate balanced on your lap. Crazy.

Must be nice to afford a house big enough to

Why is it?

There is plenty of great music being made, you just have to listen. Plenty of older music sucked too.

Im mad at the neighbors for fireworks at all

You shouldn't need to get financing for a concert either. Prices are insane.

If only a certain generation didn't vote for political parties that do their damnedest to undermine and destroy unions...

I never have to carry bills and change. I can tap with my cards or phone. It's definitely better this way. Also I have every transaction listed so I don't ever wonder where my money went. That actually helps cut down on spending.

Unless they are rich, people will prioritize safety and efficiency, before aesthetic.

You just noticed your economy going down the drain. We pay like 3€ for a cheesburger.

I will fill photo albums until the day i die!!!

I'm still disgusted that when I did my driving lessons I was told not to slow down for an animal on the road. If you do that during your driving test it can fail you. You bet your a*s I slow down for animals, and thankfully during my test, there was not any on the road, but I'd take the fail several times over if it meant I didn't run over a cat or dog.

The only car screen i like is a backup camera

When you have to upload your résumé but also fill the info of your résumé in a dedicated page. WTF

It's called respect. Always feel terrible for the host/s

literally we criminalised them GOING OUTSIDE and took away all third places that don't rely on a car or money! what are they supposed to DO???

9 pm is my bedtime! *to look at BP until midnight*

For most electric things I agree, but not the windows. I love my electric windows and being able to open them all from the drivers seat without having to get out or bend over.
