Pockets have come a long way
was at a flea market, there was a machete, i jockingly called it a pocket knife, because it fits in a pocket,
put it in my pocket, it fit.
felt bad for my daughter's who will likely never get proper pockets.
who do I need to hack with my pocket knife for them to get normal pockets?

My double standard is that when I see someone with a boombox playing music in public, I'm chill and open to it. When someone does the same thing on their phone, I must work to enhance my calm.
Is it the sound quality? Maybe in part. But there's more to it.
Maybe it's that a boombox playing music is more social and open, whereas what someone does with their phone is typically meant to be private, but some people play their music or w/e noise out loud from it as if only they can hear their phone and you're just supposed to pretend they aren't overstepping boundaries.
I think it's a mindset thing. A boombox means you're thinking about an audience. Consideration is implicit.
I hate when people have boomboxes too
It’s always on public transit. Like that’s how some people prepare to go out and face the world, by making everyone else listen to their music. Like that’s the best way you can come up with to express yourself?

Yes. At least the person with a boom box brought quality speakers.
Also, their sick roller skate moves timed to their music are pretty great.
Edit: Plus, it's not inconsiderate, because everyone loves "Wham!" (Classic 1980s music, from the last time I saw a boom box in public.)
Huh, you have a dude in your pants now, congrats.
I've always had a dude in my pants

Who says that man doesn't carry out that function?
Don't forget about fidget apps, so throw in some bubble wrap too.

WTF, dude, get out of my pocket!
Print me something
He screamed, loudly then sobbed through tears, at the foot of the table where the Epsom sat mocking him with it's silence.
TBF, the stereo speakers probably sound better and are certainly capable of being much louder than my phone speakers. But yeah, miles better in every other capacity.

You cannot fit three sets of headphones in your pocket without them fucking up your phone or your wallet.
You absolutely positively 100% cannot fit a VHS player inside your pocket.
And a boom box. Sure, phones can play music, but not at the same volume or quality as a dedicated stereo system (quality meaning the frequency response, phones just physically can't get the low end without a separate speaker)

Even ignoring the joke with the dude fitting into your pocket, I cannot fit full over-ear cans I to my pocket... This is just lies.

The forgot the encyclopedia set and a couple thousand books and a few hundred video tapes.
Baggy pants are back, baby!
nah, the speakers from that boombox are not in my pocket.
When I was young, I had a bucket list of all the fun gadgets I wanted - a camera, a video camera, a nice stereo system, a portable stereo system, a car stereo, lots of records, a TV, a VCR, a computer, etc. Making a Christmas list was easy, even if I knew I would never get 99% of it.
Now I get asked what I want for Christmas, and I have no idea what to say. My phone includes nearly everything I've ever wanted, including stuff I never thought of. Give me my phone, my guitar, a sandwich, and a bottle of water, and I'm pretty much set for life.
Cool things to ask for for Christmas:
-
Socks: I wear tall boots & long pants for work, so no one knows about my Deadpool/Pokemon/flying taco socks, but it puts a smile on my face. My sister got me a pair of socks with a sad sock sitting on the stairs that say "worst gift ever." I cried laughing.
-
Hobby accessories: You have your guitar, straps, strings, and picks are all perishable items that it's good to have a backup for.
-
Shared experiences: ask for a group trip, a local excursion, or a board game to play together.
-
My favorite - the themed surprise: instead of asking for a specific thing ask for "Something to make me laugh" or "Something nostalgic" or "Something I'll use daily" or "Your favorite recipe and the ingredients to make it". This makes shopping for / creating the gift as much fun as receiving it, since everyone will interpret the instructions a little differently and the possibilities are endless. This one's fun for a themed gift exchange for a secret Santa as well.

Except for my lack of self awareness, which I wear dripping down my sleeve.
The single CD amongst all that analog media seems so much like an anachronism that I had to look it up. The CD standard was published in 1980 and it was commercially available in the US in 1983 but it took until 1992 for CD sales to surpass cassette tape sales.

Want to really feel old? It's been that way for around 20 years now.
You've had a man in your pocket for 20 years?
Pretty sure I cannot fit 3 VHS tapes in my pocket. Pockets have not really gotten bigger

Me, from the the future, explaining this meme to people in 1987: We developed new textiles that support giant pockets with incredible durability.
how big are your damn pockets?
I'm more than 50% sure I briefly worked with this guy.
Yeah. I've been meaning to call you to catch up. Sorry.
I imagine it's been difficult to find your phone with all that other stuff in your pocket.
There's no way I can fit this dude in there!
try more lube
I prefer the things on the picture. Look how many cool gadgets you could have, now you're just computer user.
jokes on you, I still wear jnkos.
Kinda miss having discrete tech devices to be honest. In the era of non-replaceable phone memory trying to juggle space to hold it all on one device sucks.
