What's your boomer trait? (sh.itjust.works)

My boomer trait is that I frequently type in my password where the username is supposed to go. What's yours?

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

AI will wreck your eyes if you sit too close to it.

Which one, lol.

I despise videos in place of text/pic how-to.

I’m starting to run out of fucks to give when it comes to dealing with tech. Doesn’t matter what it is. Overcomplicated car infotainment. Burying features in deep OS menus. Shitty website design that hides info. Phone trees. “AI assistants” in pretty much everything. Etc.

I think most modern popular music absolutely sucks. No art, no ability to sing, all formulaic, a lyrical desert, and autotuned to shit.

It’s gotta be a mental illness, this constant need for public commentary via uploading everything you do to be viewed by others. Particularly things like “this is me crying because I got yelled at” kind of stuff. Vapid. Shallow. Go touch some grass and don’t fucking record it.

Yeah. I’m missing the more disconnected life we used to have.

(No, I’m not going to say it was all better back in the day. It wasn’t. Just our problems weren’t compounded by things like social media)

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 them 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.

Yep. I can't figure out if I think this way cos I'm 48, jaded and somehow not as progressive as I used to be, or if being up to speed with the latest sub-genres of an apparently vast sexual and gender spectrum is really just a waste of time. I don't feel any further right wing, and I hope I'll always subscribe to a 'live and let live' mindset, but who knows.

I'm grumpy as fuck

[-] aloofPenguin@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Like a few people.commented in this post, I don't use social media

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

I would say being terrible at using smartphones, but most boomers are probably better at it than me. I'm much better with desktop computers.

I call people on Teams rather than ask if they are available.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 1 points 6 days ago

I buy music. Drm free. I don't want to rent it from Spotify. It's Bandcamp Friday today btw, where the people making the music get a bigger cut.

[-] notreallyhere@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago

I think both videogames, and non-traditional sexual identities are not important
