I’m in my mid 60s and know a few people that never even heard the term “browser extension” before. How they tolerate using the web with no ad blocking is beyond me.

The only options I want are Girl Scout thin mints or peanut butter cookies

Even with an ad blocker, it gets more unusable every year that goes by

I do that because I used to work in grocery stores and can noticed even small, incremental price changes on many items. Most consumers don’t do that and hardly notice 3 cents more on this and 2 ounces short on that. We are already accustomed to toilet paper and laundry detergent mega-size and “concentrated” bullshit.

The only reason I remember that I’m 64 is that I will be 65 on my next birthday. That’s kind of a milestone for a number of reasons and it’s easy to remember. The same was true when I was about to turn 50. Other than that, anything after 30 is kind of blurry

I don’t stream much but being disabled, I can’t get to the store so I do order stuff from Amazon. What I’ve seen in the last few years is an influx of Chinese sellers with tons and tons of garbage and all of the reviews are completely worthless, of course.

I can just hear some people going, “WHAT? Are you crazy?”. I was a little tike in the early 60s and the only monitor my mom had was me screaming or the “THUNK” of me falling and hitting the floor.

There was no catalyst specifically but I deleted my shortcuts and uninstalled the app a couple of weeks ago because there just isn’t anything for me on Twitter, X or whatever. Have not gone back since.

You broadened the term so much you turned it into a huge amorphous blanket that covers generations of invectives. I’ll stick with Merriam-Webster, thanks https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/woke

As with most property management companies, they’ll just tell you, “Hey if you don’t like it, move”. I think they may have put a small blurb in the apartment complex newsletter a month prior but nobody reads those. Also, I had just upgraded to a phone that had mobile data, otherwise, I could not have used the machines because they no longer had coin slots and the app must connect to the Internet to use it. I also had a large bowl of quarters left over that I ended up using at the car wash… Which will soon be cashless also.

Who cares about downvotes? That’s a Reddit thing. I’m an old white guy but I vote Democrat all the way down ticket every time. I was a big Bernie Sanders supporter. What I do not like is virtue signaling and forcing diversity into various media when it’s not necessary. Call that anti-woke if you want.

They put Bluetooth in our apartment complex laundromat and if you don’t have a smart phone or Internet service on your phone, you don’t do laundry.

I’m aware of that, I was referring to how the extreme left tends to overcompensate for social injustices.

Granted, the actual definition of “woke” is a far cry from what the media, especially you tubers and the Twitter mob make it out to be. People on both sides but especially the right call it the “woke virus”, when wokeism is basically just being aware of the societal pressures put on people of different races, genders etc.

I’m 64 and still pretty far left, except I don’t get into the whole “woke” thing. The extreme left is a bit wacko but not as wacko as the extreme right.

I am not going to click on this headli…fuck

I think the “invisible hand of the market” swats more people than it helps.

How do you know if somebody has Linux on their desktop?… They’ll tell you. I’m currently on Windows 10 Pro but have used a number of different Linux distros since the mid-90s. I also had to have Windows because of work requirements but now that I’m retired, I may go back to Debian or Kali.

I’m pretty far left politically and I can think of a number of similarities between the two parties. The dynamics are very much the same in certain cases but the ideology driving it is different.

SNW went completely off the rails and became a CW science fiction show. It is not Star Trek and is so cringe worthy, it’s painful to watch.
