I've told this story before and will again and dont care

I used to travel a fair amount, and I'd generally have a laptop with me. I was always annoyed that whenever I'd open my laptop motherfuckers would like lean over to see what I was doing on it. Interesting, I thought, that seems like a rude and intrusive thing to do.

Around that time, smartphones suddenly became universal. All of a sudden every motherfucker in the airport was staring at their little screen tapping away like they had some super important CEO level stuff going on. Out of my way, peasants, their look would say - I'm changing the world over here doing my important business on my important device.

Since society had already established that youre permitted to lean over and check out what people are doing on their devices, well, when in Rome... so I started my new airport hobby. I no longer get out my laptop. I just watch what other people are doing on their little bullshitphones.

Tiktoks, the most retarded games youve ever seen in your life, and porn. Those 3 categories capture 100% of what people are doing on their phones in the airport or on the airplane. One hundred fucking percent. Its been over a decade since I started my new hobby and I've yet to see an exception.

I've never seen someone on FoH on their phone.

If I did I'd be torn between wanting to go over and shake the hand of a fellow shitposter, or just call them a loser for doing it a smartphone instead of a Desktop Computer like the Good Lord intended.

Savages seem to have normalized speakerphones now, so get a voice control app and just yell at it the entire time. /modernproblemmodernsolutions

It goes without saying that smartphones ruined the internet.

I've recently learned a new manmade horror brought to us by smartphone users.

My wife does customer service at an investment bank, so she interacts with customers over details of website and app use. She informs me that a lot of people no longer even use the internet. I mean obviously their devices are connected. But all they use is apps. They talk on some gay ass messaging app, they scroll faggot videos on some gay ass short video app, they do their shopping on like some Amazon app or some shit. They never actually open a browser and use the web. They don't understand concepts like "this link opens in a new window" or "the back button" or any of the basic things every real internet user takes for granted.

Don't get me started on motherfucking upper level college students who don't understand the concept that when they download a file it goes to a particular location on their computer, and theyre expected to know where that is.

I'm so old I can remember when young people knew more about computers than old people.

I get irrationally pissed when I see the Cleveland Indians playing baseball. Because they're not the indians anymore. They're the fucking guardians. It's irrational because I don't even like baseball. My only link to the indians is that I loved Major League. But the "cleveland guardians" is pathetic. I hope they go winless every year until they change their name back.

I could say the same for the washington redskins, except I hope they go winless every year no matter what their name is.

As the original computer / internet engineer pioneers age out and retire, I really feel like human knowledge in general is just going downhill and fast. Windows patches getting worse with vibe coding and bad engineering, modern video game developers (for the most part) making worse games or unable to even reverse engineer the old classics to remaster them. Blech!
