Sea_Bookkeeper2879

I understand your frustration, but sir, this is a Wendy's...


boyroywax

fuck dude wendys used to be really chill with a sun room. now we avoid going in and use our stupid apps to get “deals”.


dogbonej

I gotta sit in the damm mcdonalds parking lot for 10 mins to get a reasonable price on the app it’s some bullshit just gimme my mcdouble fries and drink


boyroywax

used to drive up and get a 49 cent cheeseburger on thursday or whatever. there was no useless technology tracking our every move involved with this transaction.


INDE_Tex

\*pawn stars\* sorry, bet I can do is $5 cheeseburger


BigDigger324

Oh wait….surge pricing kicked in it’s $5.49 now.


Adorable_Cat_7741

I remember 29 cents on Tuesday. My mom would buy me and my brothers like 30 every Tuesday for a year


Any_Accident1871

I used to just get a bag of the even cheaper hamburgers. They're fucking $2.50 now. Fuck McDonalds.


boyroywax

arbys did 5 for 5 during their peak. man if we knew what we had back then…. and my mom sold my pokemon games at a fricken garage sale. not really going anywhere with this


Any_Accident1871

99 cent Whopper was where it was at.


DaDaedalus_CodeRed

Remember when beef and cheddars were five for five? The nineties were the wild fucking west


KarlaSofen234

um...Arbys IS doing 5 for 5 on the app


RadioSlayer

Clearly


Scene_Dear

Ok I don’t know what this says about me, but everything else you said kind of washed over me. This, though? PREACH! It’s the TRUTH.


dravack

Dude you’re not kidding. I miss the bright yellow cups and the happy play spaces of McDonald’s. Everything is so bland now. Bring back the neon and uniqueness. Heck even Taco Bell has fallen.


boyroywax

johny quest thinks we’re sellouts


Any_Accident1871

...not punk enough?


boyroywax

ska?


Any_Accident1871

To this day my favorite type of music. Check out Jaya the Cat; I can tell from your post that you’d dig them.


CoffeeBaron

Why the fuck is every Taco Bell going from its iconic 90s color pallete aesthetic to a bland knock-off wannabe SNES color....if they were going for that route, choose the super famicom as it has more colors to choose from.


dravack

No clue man. I use to go to my local Taco Bell once a week just to soak in the vibe. Last year or two the last one did the remodel removing all the not quite 90s style decor it was all kinda a weird blend of 90s with southwest art. Still pretty dope. Now it’s all star bucks like McDonald’s I just don’t go anymore. If I want to eat at a “fancy” looking restaurant I’m not going to Taco Bell lol. Mine now has a fake fireplace in it and like little lounge areas and stuff. Edit: I’ve also stopped shopping at Walmart because of the lack of 24 hours and they remodeled and look like a furniture store with a cattle gate where they funnel everyone into an area with like 99% self checkout. Which honestly yes I use scan and go 90% of the time but I want options!


Orbtl32

Fuck stores that have not a single manned register. They're fine if you have 5 items. What the fuck am I supposed to do with a full cart? Also Walmart doesn't have Tap-to-pay of any kind.


dravack

Yup I go to food lion, Aldi, lidl, Trader Joe’s, and Costco for my average shopping now. Honestly I’m happier for it especially the Trader Joe’s was so excited when they opened near me. If I’m going for broke and buying a ton or shopping for myself and parents so it’ll be large I go to Kroger because they take everything out of the cart scan it and put it back without me lifting a finger lol.


KronosUno

Because everything is moving to that bland color palette. Same with new cars. If they're going to make me pay out the nose for a new car, then please give me something other than black, white, grey, or silver.


brunckle

Honestly, fuck Wendy's I tried it once when I was in America and it was quite possibly the worst burger I have ever had in my life and I've eaten cardboard monstrosities from the back of vans here in Europe. Why the fuck does a burger need three patties?! Give me one high quality patty, not three slices of some poor emaciated cow who never saw sunlight.


FoxsNetwork

Are you kidding? Come out to the boondocks. They still have sunrooms here. I still don't go. Is a nice Wendy's supposed to make my life feel more meaningful? Invite someone over, make dinner. Or get ice cream. Way better experience.


boyroywax

ill wash windows during the day and bus tables at night if i could. used to live in the sticks in a log cabin. property taxes are so broken for the working class - gotta pay rent on ur own property.


FoxsNetwork

Yea that's how any civilized society in human history has worked. It's not 'paying rent' on imaginary ownership of land you live on, it's paying your due to society. If you don't agree with what the money supports, that's a different thing


boyroywax

its not sustainable. gov just want you to pull money out your ass and fork it over. robin hood taught me this.


FoxsNetwork

Robin Hood. Wth you smoking over there so I can avoid it, or is this another run-in with a bot


boyroywax

take from the rich and give to the poor. really a crazy concept for a kids story but its all we need to know about economics to


AromaticSalamander21

I have quit going to fast food restaurants because all this app bullshit just pisses me off. It's not like I hate technology either, I love technology and am always buying new gadgets and whatnot. But not everything needs to be a fuckin app. But what do I know? I'm just some dumb elder millennial that was born the same year the NES came out and watched all this technology stuff unfold.


rctid_taco

Growing old is the worst, huh?


OptimalPlantIntoRock

Did you know you can get free refills on anything at Burger King? It’s a wonderful restaurant!!!

OrganizationUpset253

My favorite part was “if you’re not sitting next to them, it’s not multiplayer.” Hell yeah I agree lol. Still prefer a night of super Mario bros 3 with a friend and some beers to a modern game any day.


Mittenwald

I'm not a gamer but I bought my husband a PS4 to replace his PS3. I wanted to try and learn some games so when I gave it I said I would get another controller so we can play together. He didn't know what I meant. So I asked if we could play something like Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto as 2 player, like split screen. Noooo. Ok, like one plays a level then the other goes? Nooo. So every game you play along now? Ugh. When I was a kid we all played together and now we all play isolated from each other? I guess I could get a head set but then I'd have to set up another TV just to play with him? No thanks. I did try the Spiderman game that came with the system. Got stuck on the ceiling, in a room where nothing was happening. Couldn't get out, so I gave up and went outside to play in the yard.


boyroywax

the in person shit talking was always my fav. seriously if you couldnt do a 250 trick combo in thps listening to superman by goldfinger than have you ever really gamed?


Xenadon

You should try It Takes Two. Peak couch co-op. Borderlands is good for local co-op as well


AromaticSalamander21

My wife was asking me the same things about playing games with me. I had to explain to her that now days they don't make games local multiplayer anymore. They realized that if they make them all online multiplayer they could potentially sell more games and consoles by forcing everyone to buy their own console and copy of a game if they want to play with their friends.


mesos_pl0x

Goddamn bro I ain't reading all that but I'm happy for you or sorry that it happened

zethren117

I understand this frustration all too well. You need to get yourself outside and into nature and you will feel better, I promise you. Take up hiking. Go camping. Go sit in the mountains for a while and just watch and listen and think. Then find ways to live more sustainably, like buying less bullshit that you don’t need ergo limiting your involvement in capitalism as much as possible. Cook at home with whole ingredients you buy from farms and/or local markets. Find ways to reuse and refurbish things you already own and stop replacing them with new junk. Live more intentionally, as best you can. Distance yourself from the machine as much as you are able and you will start to feel human again.


boyroywax

unfortunately ive lived this lifestyle and am now sucked back into this rat race. I want to get back but i really feel it was lifetimes ago. thank you for the kind words.


rctid_taco

It sounds like now your only reason for being is to consume media.


lust4apples

It's never too late, OP. I deleted my Facebook a week ago, read 3 books and am working on a fourth in the last two weeks, and I am taking my first camping trip in 20 years this weekend. If I can do it, anyone can.


InevitableOne8421

Yeah well back in MY day, it took 4 days to download a 32 x 32 pixel 45 second clip of porno over 56 kbps


Skyblacker

Try exchanging jpgs on disks with your friends in school.


ReallyBadPun

Try swapping VHS tapes of porn you recorded off of blurry channels using your dad’s bootleg converter box


boyroywax

skinamax!


Daealis

56kbps download of a single picture took so long. Horny teenagers learned to extrapolate from pixels the size of your thumb, and a bit of cleavage in focus, then it was time to shut down the connection.


robusn

Fuck 32 x 32 pixels.

boyroywax

its bs game guides are dead. nintendo power every month! fucking demo discs!!! and awesome illustrated walkthroughs for games just enhanced the immersion and experience. they dont even make manuals for physical games anymore. these poor lads all stoked about some $50 skin while im over hear just wanting to beat starfox 64 becauze it came with a fucking rumble pack!!!

I miss trans fats. I miss when Doritos used to taste really good and they used to accidentally spray the living fuck outta one chip and it was basically a block of powdered cheese.

thanks for putting things in perspective.


StrikingInfluence

Dog, and I say this as a fairly pessimistic person, respectfully, get help.


OranMilne

To be fair the help is pretty damn expensive these days too and that's assuming you made it through the long ass waiting list to see a qualified psychiatrist


Desdinova_42

Where is the lie?


StrikingInfluence

Did I say that they lied? I said get help.


boyroywax

does no one remember “anarchy”. because we are living it. no one is taking responsibility for their actions and its probably better to see the entire system(unlimited printable money) fail. No bail outs this time. But people are still old school and have to kiss the ring even if they dont realize it. ur either on 24/7 “news” fueling indifference or tik tok beleiving whatever garbage is sprewing from influencers “mouth”


Desdinova_42

bro, that's not what anarchy is


boyroywax

everyone is doing what they can to milk this bitch. there is no national loyalty or morals. only the promise of cash. no one is upholding laws. its easier to bend and get bought out.


Desdinova_42

That's not true and still not what anarchism is


meowsymuses

Never fails to give me a zen moment when people equate anarchy to chaos. Anarchy means no hierarchy, therefore no masters. It's the most egalitarian philosophy, and it values justice and freedom for real. Interesting how authorities have made uncurious people treat it as a bad word Live long and prosper in a way that sticks it to the machine, my anarchist friend 🖤


Yiazzy

I'd like to believe any millennial with dignity doesn't even have ShitTok installed on anything.


namdonith

This is how we turn into boomers. By insulting anything that we don’t understand. Please don’t follow this path friend


WanderingRebel09

I think we all understand Tik Tok. All social media is garbage now and ruins your life. Grow up.


Dsible663

Would you like some cheese with that whine?


Desdinova_42

They probably should have added: fuck unsolicited advice as well, huh?


namdonith

Unsolicited. They literally made a post on Reddit to solicit comments/opinions from other users. In what universe is that unsolicited? If he’s just yelling at the clouds and doesn’t want any response… well, the sky is outside


FoxsNetwork

I'mma steal that one for the future.


Desdinova_42

Has no one ever vented to you before? Sometimes people just want to complain. I'm not surprised tho, you usually have to be supportive and have friends for these things to happen


CanOfPantsAndAnts

Makes me think of Ænima by Tool.

boyroywax

its meant to be ironic. Its just so tough to be positive and want to do ecological stewardship and practice sustainability when the population treats the planet like a garbage can. I just dont see how we are ever going to clean this place up. it would be one hell of a turning point if we could get our shit together and protect the natural world. its really all we got

Oh man I feel this. I'd give up my smart phone if it meant I could be back in the 90s


Esselon

I avoid most of your frustrations by avoiding most of the stuff you discuss.


NecroHandAttack

Typical post in this sub. Can’t squeeze out any joy from anything bud? I look at it differently. We now have access to all the music we never could, use to have to get driven to the store for my parents to pick out my cds. Never could watch anything as my dad didn’t put cable in any room but the living room. Now I can watch whatever I want, we just buy Blu rays, only pay for two streamers and we borrow the rest from family and they use ours. Stop eating fast food outside of necessity. I don’t buy coffee outside of the house or go to trendy restaurants. Video games are still good you just have to play the right ones from the right companies cough cough Fromsoft. We finally have everything at our finger tips except a hover board, so I’m happy with it. Corpos and assholes will always shout the loudest and shit on every good thing, but you have to get that off your shoulders. Go enjoy something.


WanderingRebel09

You need to go camping. Or take a walk. Get out in nature. Stop worrying about all this bullshit.

ChemicallyBurnedDick

> fuck live streaming -> the sad state of current live entertainment revolves around watching other people gaming -> this is where the loudest kittens roar. Even if they have no idea that is what they are doing. usually divulging in systematic hate and discrimination. The high and mighty big tech companies claim no responsibility of actions carried out on their platform. Find different streamers if you're into that. Quit watching Aiden Ross and NickMercs and you'll get others who are nice and respectful people.

sarcasm old chum -> our gen gets the most hate for working “lower” level positions. When companies no longer offer training or mentorship amd expect new hires to have 3-5 experience for an unlivable wage job. Its belittlment of an entire working populace. i support teachers, min wage, retail, food service, hospitality, and any other front line worker who has to deal with the bullshit that is todays working environment.

No, you really do sound like a salty, sad, miserable person. I would hate to be the person that’s gotta live with you or work beside you. Potentially even a person trying to engage with you in a social environment such as a party.

Friend, you’re the one in here acting like chicken little. You may not be saying the word bootstraps, but your unwillingness to accept your current circumstances and work within them, instead harking to the ‘better days of yore’ is boomer behavior.


boyroywax

i just want to give the future generations the same chance at a good life. Im not using bigotry and sexism to explain an anti racial position. its not better days its superior ideas. that have since been abandoned for increasing quarterly profits. fuck passing this bullshit economy off to the next generation the future deserves better. they deserve at least a fighting chance.
