Oh good points! The scam shit wasn't really thought about as much.

I was teen too. I know some of it is nostalgia glasses, but I had fun. But unlike a lot of my classmates from that time, I don't think they were the highlights of my life.
Def fun tho, and I do think it was a simpler time. I think the 24/7 access to news and media and online bitching has made things a bit worse.
The world definitely was NOT safer back then, but we weren't shown it 24 hours a day. The doomscrollers on Lemmy actually have made even lemmy less cool that it should be. Back then bad news was just for 6 oclock news or newspapers. Rest of the time was spent fucking around.
So it was easier to just play around, hang out, and 1980's sci-fi books were awesome to read back then. Not everything was as dystopian as it is now.
Funny thing is, I am living that future. My gf was arguing with Alexa ai yesterday. I was cleaning out the robot vacuum cleaner that was filled up with some dog hair, and the computer I carry in my pocket as a phone is more powerful than any desktops back then.
But fuck all, it's not as fun as I thought it would be! And OMG the bitching and moaning I hear from people and online all the time.
WTF?! That's easily the most irritating thing about modern day. Give it a fucking rest and go out to a park and enjoy some trees and sunshine.
This is a good thing. You were all complaining about housing prices. Well, now they are going down. :)
Just like when Biden was in office and Democrat propaganda was everywhere. Well, things changes. That's ok, in 4 years, it'll change back again.
He's looked dead for a while!
Guess they bowed down to Trump pretty quick. Maybe they need to just stop being funded by the government. Then they will be free to do what they want. They should be able to get enough donations from democrats.
Yeah, the tech we have is nicer, slicker, and faster. Most just works until it doesn't, then buy another. But I keep feeling like I SHOULD be excited, but I'm not.
I legit and thinking of dialing it all back, going old school and just fucking around w an old computer that can hardly do anything cool.
I mean, that excitement almost came back with raspberry pi, but not it's pretty commercial. AI sort had that thrill, but now it's so good and so fast, the newness wore off.
I recently retired (early retirement), and thought what all my free time I was gonna do and learn all the latest tech. Um, no. Now I want to do old tech as the hobby. lmao
