let me see:

• physical media is Just Better (cds, game cards, etc.)
• the Internet is a technological dumpster fire
• devices are too "smart" nowadays

I don't think this is a boomer opinion but I got called a boomer for it once so maybe it is idk:

I think online dating is shit and I don't mean it in a "It doesn't work for me" kinda way but I believe it's objectively shit. In an ever faster world that demands more and more flexibility from people that also extends to dating. It introduces a certain arbitrariness to romantic and sexual relationships. We now have dating apps that you can use to scroll through potential partners like a furniture catalog. It reduces people to a commodity and I hate being confronted with that. I believe it could in combination with the realities of late stage combination harm our ability to establish deep and meaningful connections to people.

It's literally what my mom warned me off 20 years ago and now I believe she was right.

Not meeting up with friends at a loud venue, I like to talk to them not try to shout over the music.

The trend towards ever thinner and lighter devices is stupid. I would much rather have a thicker laptop if it means I get ethernet, multiple usb-A ports, full-size hdmi/displayport, an sdcard reader, and an optical drive, than something that's ultra thin and sleek but only has a couple usb-C ports and requires a million dongles.

• The internet was way better before it became a giant shopping mall.
• Those cars that don't have the flecks in the paint look like children's toys.

Then, I have a couple that pre-date even boomers by many years 😅:

• Handkerchiefs kick the shit out of paper tissues.
• Cars have made the world a worse place.

I hate QR code menus, just let me see the damn food options without squinting at my phone

Nobody should be able to profit off boring industries. Utility (power, water, telephony (which includes internet), banking, insurance.

Cap the profits at an arbitrary number that keeps up with inflation and allows for expanding business basic needs like staffing and inventory. Large investments should be reviewed and approved by regulating bodies and monies allocated and investments must be met with progress goals that achieve the completion of the project in full. None of this "Thanks for the monies, lol bye" bullshit.

That OSes peaked with Windows XP.

I do not like comic book movies.

Google Docs Editors is inferior to any office productuvity suite, and it's overused in the professional world.

I don't want your fucking Sheets link. Email me the Excel file with _v1 at the end.
