Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
Let me fill out a paper form or make a phone call and get what I need: Don't make me go online just to apply for a job, apply to a school, get a transcript, schedule an appointment, sign up for insurance, pay a bill, buy the pizza at discount price, etc.

At least McDs in my area have started (probably reluctantly) to offer paper applications again after years and years of telling people, "go online."

Mowing the lawn is relaxing as gently caress

It's really easy to get basic rear end jobs right now, I know too many people who are unemployed mooching off friends and family right now "looking for a good fit". Even if it sucks it's better than putting a large strain on your relationships and your parents/SO's wallet.

The music the kids are listening to these days loving sucks. At least when it comes to my younger cousins. One put on their favorite band when I was taking him and his brother to an appointment and I thought he was loving with me.

oh, that reminds me

I am fine doing everything online but I absolutely do not ever want to download an app for every loving business and service I interact with. that is what web browsers are for.

I loving hate that I can't upload to Imgur on browser mobile while the stupid app is so busted that it freezes me out of uploads 100% of the time. I hate that I can't look at one picture on Pinterest or see one 10 second video on TikTok without dOwNLoAdInG tHe aPP! I don't use these things enough that they need to permanently take up space on my phone, loving hell.

I also hate the UI on about any streaming service that isn't Netflix or Youtube. So many of them make it absolutely grueling to simply rewind/fast-forward that it blows my drat mind. And more than one categorizes different seasons/languages of a show as entirely different search perimeters instead of making them options on a drat drop down menu.

I usually don't- I don't have Tiktok or Pinterest installed on my phone and I usually just have to tell friends I can't look at their video or have to go find another version of whatever picture I need. It's a mild frustration.

The Imgur one kills me because I have an account, it used to work, now it doesn't on mobile at all. I've been having to use Minimgur for years and that one doesn't do gifs, so if I want to share anything that moves I gotta do it on desktop. I've troubleshot the poo poo out of it and despite it being a common issue, Imgur has never resolved it because they want you to use their broken-rear end app that WON'T loving WORK.

woah that sounds annoying.. the app works fairly okay for me, but its hard/arcane/impossible to get a .filetype from it which makes it hard to post them here unless your on a pc

Rap is crap
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-riL5A4eiWQ

... with the exception of the album Cocodrillo Turbo by Action Johnson*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmZdwXdYkcs'

.. which must I guess be what you fetuses call 'hiphop' since it doesn't suck the long wet one like rap as I know it. In fact I import-pre-ordered it recently at a premium price and have listened to it a number of times already, and I dunno yet, maybe Action Johnson's other albums are good too (but all other hiphop/rap can eat my entire rear end; as a boomer I don't like to eat rear end but I don't mind having mine eaten... and as a boomer I also get to use semicolons with impunity, suck on that...).


* This proviso is almost certainly not a typical Boomer opinion, though I did hear the album first on the Australian music clips show Rage which is rather like old skool MTV, and both of those would be huge with boomers, I imagine.
