People still talk about Reagan like he was some kind of god-king. He never had the kind of rabid violent followers like Trump does but that’s the closest one I know of

You’re really describing a small but very vocal portion of people with kids. I don’t think most parents are that concerned about it.

The people who you’re describing only had kids because they grew up being taught that that’s what they were supposed to do wether they actually wanted kids or not. This very specific group get upset that child free people are somehow going against the plan by not bending over backwards to accommodate everyone who did have kids.

They’re also constantly angered further when they see child free adults having a fun relaxing time while they’re stuck wrangling their own ill mannered progeny.

They certainly are very petty, angry, frustrated people but they definitely don’t represent everyone who has kids lol

I assumed OP was asking about hobbies that can’t be done the old way anymore because everything has been converted to a newer way that makes it easier but not as much fun anymore. Like in the example I posted earlier it’s now impossible to buy a fully handmade high quality guitar anymore unless I want learn how to build it myself from scratch or pay thousands of dollars for a high end custom guitar because almost all affordable guitars are built on assembly lines now

When I was a kid me and my friends who lived on my street would always trade or borrow our NES and SNES cartridges

I used to go out to bars with my friends and play darts in college and it was always fun to just play and even make up your own rules sometimes! That makes me kind of sad that something as simple as throwing pointy sticks at a board had to be computerized… I could see the benefit if you were playing in a pro tournament or something, but just trying to enjoy a game of darts with your buddies definitely doesn’t need all of that

It hasn’t for me really because most of my hobbies are still done more or less the way they always have been lol I cross stitch and build models and the whole point of those is that they’re handmade. I collect vinyl records which hasn’t really changed much except that they’re more expensive now. I play guitar which technology has mostly helped more than hinder… The only thing I can think of is that a lot of the modern assembly line cheap guitars aren’t really built all that well anymore, especially considering the price you pay for them, but even that has gotten a lot better in the last decade

You talkin shit about Ranger Carl?

I suspect a lot of people on here don’t like the idea of monetizing Lemmy since that kind of defeats the whole purpose of Lemmy. It sounds more like something people would do on Reddit or Instagram

So… Basically turning your Lemmy account into a half-assed Patreon then? Pass.

I switch between Boost for Lemmy and Jerboa. Boost has more features but is a little more complicated to use. Jerboa is super simple and made everything easy but it’s missing a few features I need to use occasionally.

Not drinking. It’s a habit I started after nearly 2 decades of being a terrible alcoholic lol

Use them to make a bootleg copy of Duke Nukem to share with your friends. That’s what we used to do with them lol

If we’re just granting wishes here I think I’d probably just wish I didn’t need any medications at all

It’s a reference from the movie Friday lol

Ok, ok, adding more cereal after you’ve finished the initial cereal is permitted. I’m not a monster

CEREAL FIRST, THEN MILK!!! COLD MILK! I DON’T CARE HOW YOUR MOM USED TO FIX IT, THIS IS THE ONLY CORRECT WAY!!!

I use the search feature in Jerboa

Probably it was the first time as a young adult that I found myself out of money and realized no one was going to give me any more. It’s kind of a jarring experience the first time you realize you have $50 left in your account, you don’t get paid again for another week, and mom and dad can’t help you.

I’m honestly glad it happen to me sooner than later, because it taught me a lot about how to be resourceful, how to budget more carefully, and that as a grown adult I should really be able to handle these things on my own.
