You can talk about the older things as well. It is certainly going to be more interesting than "Did you see that new superhero flick?" "Yup." "Yup." "So see you later."

Yeah, that sounds like a pretty standard conversation to have with someone about a new release, if they don't share any of your interests and/or just don't want to talk to you.

4 Reasons I (Do Not) Like Cracked (Anymore)

4. Parenthesis Everywhere

Do you see that? Do you see the title of the article? Why is it like that? There's no reason for it! Now for 9 more paragraphs about this. Which brings me us to my our next point:

3. You Don't Even Need To Read The Article

Just look at the titles you dumb poo poo. Everything you need to know is in them. There is no ambiguity. It is a good way of avoiding being clickbait, but makes reading the content completely unnecessary. Unless you really love wacky random zany humour.

2. Advertisements All Over The Place

Do you browse Cracked on a computer? Well, good luck reading one article without it overheating and crashing. They're not static advertisements, or even popups. No, they're constantly moving, constantly rotating, video advertisements. And they are just everywhere. They leak through your speakers and cover your floor. Try to scroll down. We dare you.

1. Spoiler Alert

Now we put this last on the list, even though it's number one so it should be first but who the gently caress knows how our rating system works? Anyway, we're gonna go ahead and ruin some movies for you that you haven't seen. What's that? (typing as though speaking to the one reading it) Oh no! We're not going to ruin old movies. Of course not! Everyone knows Darth Vader is Yoda and stuff! No, we're going to spoil poo poo that came out three weeks ago!

We hope you enjoyed our listicle, and tune in next week for our listicle about why listicles are bad and dumb!

I think I understand the point you're trying to make. Throughout history, those with the bigger stick dictated the rules. That is, if someone wanted control over a situation/territory/people, that person's army could come in and violently take it.
However, to think that violence is the core of human interaction is baffling. What about couples who have been together and loved each other for decades? There are many other factors which make up the average human's life experience.

My unpopular opinion is that being unemployed sounds loving incredible. Get up when you like, sleep as long as you want, watch youtube videos and play videogames all day, exercise more, learn how to cook, don't worry about coming into work 5 days a week, don't stress about bullshit numbers or customer satisfaction.

Sounds no bad compared to being constantly exhausted, being woken by an alarm at 6:00am every day, spending 40 hours a week having to pretend you give a poo poo about costs and codes, feeling your leisure time is to precious to waste to the extent you end up doing nothing, putting half your wage into a mortgage because you don't want to be in debt and paying off interest for years, eating takeaways because gently caress cooking when its 7 at night and you've been away for 12 hours, worrying about your car repairs because you don't want to triple your travel time by getting the bus, getting fat because you spend 18 hours sitting and 6 lying down.

Yup. Being unemployed sounds loving great.

As someone who just started working again after four years, being unemployed is the absolute worst. Even though you can wake up whenever you want, you will immediately begin worrying about how you will make rent, how you will feed yourself, how you will afford gas to go and look for a job. And that's not even taking into consideration things like emergency car fixes and dental issues.
Then before you know it, it's your mother's birthday! Your dad and sister each got her a wonderful gift, and you give her a hand made card. They say they understand that you can't afford much right now, and you know they do, but you see the worry in their eyes when you leave. The next day your dad calls you and asks if you need some money. You just know that your mom spent her whole birthday night discussing your situation with her husband. Happy birthday mommy!
After applying for jobs, (online only, your car's brakes are hosed again,) you watch some YouTube videos. Then you browse your favourite dead gay forums, refreshing the pages until you are certain there are going to be no more new posts for a while.
You go to the kitchen and look in the fridge. You've got expired ground beef, and one tortilla. With some spice magic, you make a taco you could probably feed to a dog.
You go and check YouTube again. Nothing new. You check the forums. People bitching about trolls, so nothing new. You go to bed, just to wake up and do it all over again.
Oh wait! There's an egg in the fridge! In the drawer! I forgot about that! Oh man, I'm gonna eat good tomorrow!

So yeah, I'll take your 9 to 5 life over having to deal with that poo poo again any day.

Really though, the worst part of unemployment is the lack of socialization. Sure you can talk to family, or a significant other if you have one, but there's nothing quite like talking to people who don't intimately know you.

Soon as there's a drug or implant that gives me the ability to never sleep with no side effects I am on board.

Sounds like someone has never ridden the boring Tomorrowland train in Disney World

When my family and I went to Disneyland over 20 years ago, we were standing in line for Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
A father with his two young children were walking on the other side of the chain separating the in/out lines.
The man looked at my dad and said "That sure was a wild ride!"
So of course, as a kid, I became excited.
We got to the front and the operator waved us through.
We entered the cart, and the ride began.
That's when I learned the meaning of sarcasm.

The only fun part of Monopoly (and Life and that war on terror game and all other games with fake money) is getting to be the banker and seeing how much cash you can steal while filling out payments.

I’ve won multiple games against friends and family while just brazenly taking money out of the bank.

My friend's dad has a board game that is designed just like Monopoly, but it's all about buying, selling, and trading drugs.
It's called something like Weedy's Dope Dealing Game, I can't remember.
On some squares, you're required to take a hit, on others you make someone else take one, and the whole time you're pushing large amounts of pot, hash, coke, etc.
The rules specifically encourage you to lie, cheat, and steal.
It's great fun.

The problem isn't really smartphones themselves, it's peoples' attitudes of expecting everyone to be available to be contacted at every waking hour of the day every day. The people who expect you to carry on a text conversation all day and complain when you take too long to respond etc are the real problem. Just because you can be on call for your friends/family/work all the time doesn't mean you should.

if it's just rain, sure. But if it's a thunderstorm it's a little more nervewracking. Try walking to work at a government lab as an intern with no access to any building except your trailer tucked way in the back and nothing to hide under and it starts hailing. Hail hurts.
