things "old timer" douchebags say

Nothing like hearing a person under 45 talking about whatever shit they liked and did growing up, like it was the equivalent of a horse and buggy.

landline phones are still in operation and yes, kids know what a fucking phone is. you are not special for having had to dial on a phone with actual buttons.

physical media. only your dumb asses got rid of your dvds, anyone with half a fucking brain understood 15 years ago that streaming wasn't owning.

references to cultural touchstones that fucking everyone and their brother are aware of, even if they weren't around for it. these assholes in question always talk about shit like MTV, VHS tapes and cassettes like only they knew used them, and no kid in the world knows what they are now. Ignore all of the MTV shirts and shit that they have at Walmart. Or, how the garbage reality shows from MTV are still somehow popular among young people. Or, that god awful VHS filter all the shit Tik Tok and Youtube videos use. No, only the 50 something year old had a "VHS player" way to say it in a way that fucking no one did when they were commonplace.

Going from a horse and buggy to an automobile was a step up for the people who were around for it. Same with having actual refrigerators, frozen vegetables, and all of the shit that most take for granted now. Old people 50 years ago talking about how "in their day" were actually justified in pointing out how things were different.

Cunts now who think they are being clever and funny, acting like they are own their own sitcom for saying how they used to have to walk up to the television to change the channel, and how TV shows were like an event and there was no streaming. Are fucking cunts. Go back if you love it so much. Buy an old piece of shit TV from 50 years ago. Go to hell to while youre at it. No one wants to hear you.
