I haven't been comfortable with society in general since the Internet age. I understand now how old people used to say the world had passed them by, cause I look around today at this batshit crazy world and smh lmao. And pot is illegal in most places, like that is so bad compared to the shit going on and endorsed as OK by msm. Give me the simplicity of 70s and 80s and the world before 24 hour entertainment media masquerading as NEWS ffs. I preferred being ignorant to the lies of the world.

Talking about the simplicity in our everyday lives. In the 80s we weren't inundated with thousands of experts and 24/7 access to news.

I remember I was in Norfolk in the Navy around 81-82. I would hurry home from the ship everyday to watch re-runs of Soap. Since I had never had cable as a kid, it was new to me. That was my cutting edge media.

I shake my head each time I go to the airport and see all range of human beings occupying themselves with a phone or a fucking tablet from 9 to 90

You shake your head and I just argue to myself lol. And it's driving too and it's always a woman yapping or looking down at her phone when driving, doesn't see the light is green, no turn signal etc etc..Like a bunch of sheep mesmerized by their phone. And these days if you go to concerts, everyone has their phone up in the air recording. Makes my blood boil!

I don't mind the ones recording with the good cameras at shows. I watch way more shows on You Tube than I do in person.

I still don't have a cell phone. {the wife has one through her work, and she is retiring at the end of the year, so we may end up getting one then} When people ask me why I don't have one, I tell them it won't stop people from bothering me when I'm in the garden, but they will have to come to the house to do it.

There is a great line in the J.L. Hudson seed catalog. The currant owner is talking about how the business doesn't have a phone and than quotes the original owner: "if your phone doesn't ring: it's me!"

@Vnsmkr this still sucks, whichever thread I read it on - bummer!
