I haven’t used a clock in years that I need to manually reset. Older people don’t seem to realize clocks on phones and other devices reset automatically.

    For older people it was seen as friendly and polite to remind others to change their clocks for daylight savings time. Alot of them probably dont have phones. I grew up pre-internet and the world was a much better place.

      That feeling is nostalgia for a time when Reagan condemned many to die for loving the wrong people, DND was satanism, peter thiel’s and musk’s parents were busy apartheiding black workers to death.

      The feeling will pass.

        You know you are not responsible for everything that happens the moment you are born. It is a ridiculous stance honestly.

          You are not, and nobody said you were…but woof, way to tell us where your insecurities lie lol.

          However when you say you grew up in the pre internet world and it was a much better place, that is unfortunately called “wrong” and I was correcting you.

            Me believing times were better then is my opinion. Just my opinion. People went outside, interacted with each other in real life, and formed real relationships. In my opinion those were better times. Now you have the crisis of loneliness, millions who have never even had a friend, and 90% of young people suffer from some phobia, mental illness, or personality defect. Now is a better time in your opinion and that is fine too.

        This type of all or nothing rhetoric is bs. It’s ok to be nostalgic for a time that was better in some ways while rejecting the ways that it wasn’t. The fact is, the rise of the internet has made life a lot more complicated and brought new problems even as some have been solved.
