My old person trait is I think people should remove their headphones when interacting with each other IRL
Memes
Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
My old person trait is that cars should have physical buttons for at the very least climate control and media.
My age
Company call centers should - after a reasonable wait - put you in contact with a bone and flesh human and not a fucking 010001101 robot, also those humans should be paid decently, since I don't envy the insults they, unfairly, take
I think that buying something should be more convenient than pirating in.
My old person triat is that this revolt against the major social media platforms is not unprecedented. I have seen it at least 4 times before in my adult life. Fuck I'm old. 😞
I get worked up over other people's spatial awareness, especially as it relates to walking on a sidewalk or driving. People will take up all the space on a sidewalk, they will open their doors as cars are going by, they will walk out into traffic, they move around as if other people do not exist, they will stand and congregate in the middle of a walkway. I find it wildly disrespectful and dangerous. I feel like when I'm driving people are constantly putting their wellbeing into my hands and gambling that I have the skills and awareness to not let them get in a wreck or get run over. When I am walking down the sidewalk, I feel few people are managing space in a way that keeps the sidewalk available to as many people as possible while other people are basically pushing me off the sidewalk entirely so they can all walk like a wall, or bulldozer.
All the words of wisdom I ever needed was in Grateful Dead lyrics.
My old person trait is that often prefer phonecalls over text messages.
i have never stayed out past midnight and i don't plan to start any time soon. if i get drunk enough and you try to keep me out i'll literally just fall asleep somewhere.
- Videos should be landscape, 4:3 preferably, not portrait.
- When I turn on a computer, it should be ready (and pref say READY) in a few seconds, not minutes and need Internet access.
- Email should be fully punctuated, have correct grammar and a premise, argument, and conclusions.
- I'm tolerant on short SMS or pager texts, but if it's used as immediate mail, all texts, IM, and social media messages should also be like #3.
Agreed. Except the part about 4:3 video. That's just upsetting to think about. "Widescreen" (anywhere from 16:9 to the 1.85:1 often used in movies) is acceptable, 4:3 is far too cramped for a pleasant viewing experience.
If you're watching on anything other than certain laptop screens, you're likely to have pillarboxing which is just wasted space that could be beautiful landscapes, helpful information, or artistic framing.
My ye old ass trait is to take sunglasses off when talking face to face with someone, looking people in the eyes creates a more connected conversation.
Tabs belong below the address bar on a browser, not above. Also the menu bar should always be a thing and there should be a title bar as well, not merging the two or three (including tabs) into one single bar.
I think people who deliver food should actually hand it to a person instead of just leaving it by the door.
See now lots of us would much prefer not having to interact with strangers on our doorstep at all
My old person trait is that I always prefer physical media over streaming media.
