    iPhone apps subscription services

    I am kind of sick of everyone following this whole subscription services trend. I don't have a problem with paid apps, but you used to be able to pay a one-time fee for it. Or even a lifetime fee. I am fine with those. Now all these apps are following everyone else and going monthly yearly etc...

    Streaming television subscription services

    So, I just got a notification when I was home for lunch that my Netflix service will be changing from a 1 user with no ads to a 2 user with ads. They promoted this like this was a huge upgrade for me. No, it's a downgrade. I don't want to be seeing ads. Wasn't this the whole reason people left...

    The price of new glasses

    So I went in to get my eyes examined about two weeks ago. I can't believe the price of glasses these days. I was supposed to get progressives last time, but this time I am going to have to get them. Compared to single visions they are so expensive. It sucks for people that have to pay just to...

    Bioengineered foods - Check your labels

    So I don't know how many of you read the back of your food labels, but ever since I was eating dinner one night and reading the back of the label, towards the bottom it said "made with bioengineered ingredients". I started to research this and basically it means it has foreign DNA. Our...

    Generic instruction manuals

    So I ordered a bicycle last week and I went to put it together Friday. First I couldn't find the instruction manual. Then when I did it was one of these 'All-in-one' style manuals where it's made for every bike model they sell. The is fine, but they still didn't have my model 😆 So thankfully it...

    Children's movie previews

    So, we took the kids to the new Mario movie for the weekend (it was just meh in my opinion). But the real reason for this thread was the movie previews. Normally when you go see a movie, especially one rated PG you expect some new kids'movies coming out. This one started with two adult previews...

    Trying to hold onto friendships

    I guess maybe I am different. But usually when I become friends with someone it sticks. Time and distance don't really matter to me, if we were good friends once, then your good friends for life. I have friends that if it wasn't for me trying to keep in touch and talk to them, I probably would...

    Men's underwear with no flap in the front

    So, this makes me mad every time. I ended up getting underwear without the flap in front. This seems to be the new trend in men's underwear. Let me tell you this is not the trend we need. There is nothing worse than grabbing a pair of these and trying to use the bathroom, it's like you are...

    Adult daycares, the new generation of workers

    I have seen a few of these videos posted on this new generation of "Workers", and I will say that with sarcasm. This is what the new generation believes work is. We are seeing increasingly more workers thinking that this is the new way jobs are. The sad part is these folks are probably getting...

    Self-Checkouts

    I have been meaning to make this post for a while. One thing that makes me mad is self-checkouts. I know why stores went this way, so they can be cheap and not have to pay workers. But when did I turn into an employee? Am I getting a discount for checking myself out? A discount on my groceries...

    Woke culture

    I tell you this is so getting out of control, it's already ruining games, and now going after code?  Google Workspace Updates: Renaming “whitelisted domains” to “allowlisted domains” in the Admin console (googleblog.com)

    To many choices these days for everything

    Does anyone find that we actually have to many choices for everything these days? We have so many things to choose from that we don't end up choosing anything at all. Look at all the subscription services these days, from television to video games. Take Netflix for example, so many things to...

    The new tipping trend

    So I have been experiencing this more and more lately. But this weekend I saw it everywhere. Why is it that every time you purchase something these days, the credit card reader or receipts are asking for a tip? I am all for tipping and over tip myself, but you have to be at least doing something...

    No one wanting to work anymore

    I don't know if this is fallout from getting people addicted to those high unemployment wages or what, but is anyone else seeing in their areas people not wanting to work anymore? As far as I know most of the high unemployment benefits are done now, but people are still refusing to go back to...

    Walmart online store

    I just wanted to say that you think for such a large company that Walmart would have a better website. If they want to stay in the game, they need to fix their on-line shopping. I have had items on order from July that still have yet to ship yet I can place an order for them right off their...

    Redbox movie rentals

    I have never used Redbox before. So tonight we thought we would try it, pick movie then pay, then I hear the machine running and nothing come out, then it just goes back to the main screen. Wife goes in to see if someone can help and they go you have to call Redbox. I call in and finally after...

    Put your shopping carts back

    So tired of seeing this. You get done using your shopping cart, find a cart holder and push it in. It only takes 1 more minute out of your day. I think everyone should have to work a job that has shopping carts, so that for the rest of their lives they continue to put them back. It makes a huge...

    The next generation

    I am fearful to see what the world will be like for the next generation of kids. The new working class don't want to work anymore. They want these high lifestyles like they see on Instagram and other social media, but they just want it given to them. The last couple of younger people don't last...

    Turn Signals - Does anyone use them anymore?

    Coming back from lunch getting ready to pull out and old lady decides she will turn now without a blinker as I proceed to pull out. Then she gives me a dirty look like I was in the wrong. Flashback to two days ago. I pull up to intersection, the lady across the street actually has her turn...

    Customers or a Boss hounding you right when you walk in to work

    You know when I come into work, just give me 5 minutes to at least take my jacket off, or sit down for a few minutes to check my email or at least let me take one drink of my coffee. I think every job that I have ever worked at this happens. I am here 8 hours a day, give me my 5 minutes at the...
