Paper boarding tickets and having someone who works for an airline actually be able to help you directly when something goes wrong.

Print the qr code and take it with me as a backup. I get funny looks, but if my phone dies I can still take my trip.

Funny story, my phone died while traveling last year....

What was "the old way we did things" before social media?

I'd like to shout from the mountaintop that I do not care what you and your boring family did over the holidays.

I don't remember the last time I logged into any real social media account so I guess I'm kind of living as though it doesn't exist anyway.

Tangentially, I preferred old Reddit.

Not sure how it got so shitty, but eeeeuuuuggghhh.

  • Mowing grass with a scythe instead of a mower
  • Splitting wood with an axe instead of an electrical splitter

They both are quieter and calming to the mind and soul, meditative even. And you kind of feel like an NPC in Anno 1602.

Dumb phones. I've grown to hate smartphones, apps, and all that goes with them.

Every app is harvesting my "data", and every website is bloated to shit.

I like old timey radio (dramas like Twilight Zone, etc...Bob Dylan had a cool modern retro show, also stuff like Coast to Coast with Art Bell) but never listen to modern radio basically ever. Used to be much more magical.
