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.

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.

Some people can't be cashless. For them, all they have is cash in hand, and if they hold it out, it should be accepted.

Nope. I'll take "i don't have the energy to fix this person/ relationship" for 500 Alex.

This might be about picking up to-go drinks and food, instead of having a well filled larder/food storage from which you can cook a nice meal at home - which requires planning ahead, buying what you need once a week and spending time to make and eat. Which has only positive side effects: You focus on what you put in your body and save a lot of money.

See, I really like a thank you email/message. It covers the sentiment just as well without the clutter and landfill.

We went through this last year after my daughters baby shower. My daughter was going to put a mass Facebook message out that said "thanks for coming". Umm, no. I find that rude and lazy. People spent time and money to shower you with necessities and their presence. If not physical cards, a personalized email is okay too but a mass generic Facebook message?!

I admit to sending way fewer Christmas and birthday cards now that I use a lovely English site that costs me lots less and lets me send ecards as often as I wish. And they always go with a personal message to the recipient.

The last "thank you" notes I sent out was after my Moms funeral. That was a lot of personal notes to write in one sitting, but I did it. I wrote a specific thank you to everyone who sent flowers, brought food, brought coffee, sat with us into the wee hours of the morning. But, that was twenty years ago BEFORE email/internet. I'd still do it today because it's the right thing to do.

And signing them is a dying art; schools don't teach cursive anymore - now it's fifth-grade block printing and computer skills. This is an education?

oh, you actually get a thank you card? nice

Just siging them? I get cards with pasted labels, printed return addresses, inside is a postcard of their precious tykes in matching outfits (their daily wear, mind you) and a printed name. No hand signing, the stamp was pre-sorted. I throw them out.

When I was young my mom made me write thank you notes to relatives who gave gifts or just had me over. I have to pull out thank yous now.

My relatives don't even bother to sign them.

I am learning to make my own,

Amen to that! I still have my sister's original letters to me from the 70s-80s.

I send a lot of cards at Christmas. I get several that are preprinted with the family photo, the greeting, and the name. There is no effort to even sign the name. I just feel cheated somehow.

It's just nice to actually be thanked whether in person, a card or note, or an email. Young people hardly ever send a thanks in any form. For example, I sent a baby afghan I crocheted to my nephew and his wife.for their first baby. It's been over seven months and I never heard a thing. Same for wedding gifts. I wrote stacks of personalized thank you notes after my shower and wedding in 1984. They matched our invitations.

In my mind any kind of card is a very handsome way of saying thank you. Not anyone is comfortbable writing on their own.

Once sold wedding invitations and nice stationery. When the bride and groom were figuring out how many to order, I would suggest matching note cards for thank you and other correspondence. Nope. Lets just get the thank you s so we don't have to think.

I see giving cards as giving someone something to throw away.

I only send about 10-15 Christmas cards every year and all are made from my artwork and hand signed. Cant stand digital greeting cards

I wholeheartedly agree!

My photo cards, give and receive, help us keep in touch with friends and family. I usually wrote a message on the back. Email greetings just seem so cold.
