"Music in bars is too loud.(Edit to add that I’ve been a touring musician and live sound technician. I love music but it actually sounds better at lower volumes, and I want to be able to hear it into my old age)"

"Touchscreens in cars are a fundamentally bad idea & physical buttons (or similar controls) need to be brought back.

Distracted driving is at an all-time high. Touchscreen controls literally require you to take your eyes off the road and can create a longer time of inattention due to their complexity.

I have an old-@$$ car with physical controls. I can do dang near anything (radio, climate control, etc.) without taking my eyes off the road and in much less time."

 

"Googling recipes while cooking and having to read everyone’s life story and family history to get to the ingredients drives me batsh#t insane.

I’ve gone back to cookbooks."

"Screw fast fashion, my clothes should be made to last.

I’m not rich so it’s unavoidable, but I’m willing to spend extra on clothes that aren’t made of plastic and I do my best to repair my damaged clothing instead of throwing it out."

 

"I want a human customer service operator, not an automated operator or chatbot."

 

"There is an old acronym K.I.S.S.

Keep It Simple Stupid.

Just because you can make something super flashy/complicated/intriguing or otherwise impressive, doesn’t mean you should.

This goes from everything from cars to computer software to movies and film.

Trying too hard to make something impressive only leaves you with something that may look pretty but doesn’t have proper support."

 

"Physical media: owning books, movies, and music, is far superior to a subscription service, or digital content."

 

"Not everything needs to connect to the internet or have an app attached to it. I just want my fridge to keep sh#t cold, I don’t understand why we have to bring WiFi into this situation."

 

"Sometimes it’s faster (and easier) to just plug something in, instead of dealing with Bluetooth connectivity. There’s something nice about knowing how to get it connected and being able to physically connect/disconnect."

 

"If you’re walking on a crowded sidewalk, get off your f@#king phone it’s not the job of other pedestrians to avoid you while you make your vlog. Awareness of your surroundings is important."

 

"I prefer physical menus over QR codes."

 

"Tipping has gotten out of control – coming from someone who relies on tips for income. it hurts people who actually should be getting them because now people are extremely agitated about any and all tipping. I was just at a music festival and the guy who exchanges your cash for drink tickets (not even the person who pours the beverage) had an iPad with tip options starting at 18%"

 

"Electronic devices should be repairable. All of them.

TVs and smartphones should last for at least 10 years. How is that we are all enviromental friendly but we switch iPhones every 2 or 3 years?"

 

"Standard headlights on new automobiles are too bright. Literally being blinded by every other car DURING THE DAYTIME wondering if their brights are on."

 

"Basic home appliances (fridge, washer/dryer, etc) do NOT need a touchscreen."

 

"Most people don’t train their dogs well enough because they treat them like children, then they can’t handle them when they’re reactive and put people and other dogs in danger."

 

"Password hell.

You practically have to have a password manager application to have secure passwords working in IT. Every password changes every 90 days, there are rules to ensure that you aren’t just adding an iterating number to previous passwords, special symbols, AND it’s discouraged to reuse prior passwords across services."

 

"I prefer reading on paper, not onscreen"

 

"Social media is poison"

Jane,...Moreover, "ANTIFA ST. FASHION" is a little disconcerting too. I sincerely hope neither the street, nor a clothing store that sells it, would ever exist.

#17 I have to argue, it not "treating them like children" because I would never let my children misbehave... it's owners treating them like objects and not training their dog or themselves on healty dog behaviors AND keeping that training going the entire dogs life.
