Maria Langer | 📝 🎬 ⚒️🛥️<p>The automated text shit is really starting to bother me. I don't mind getting reminders for upcoming appointments, but when the reminders include instructions that don't relate to my situation, it just proves how little the person using the automated system really cares about their customers. This guy is coming to do a tuneup on a 6 hp Suzuki outboard motor. There is no boat, there is no key, and he'll have to bring his own equipment if he wants to run the motor. 🙄 <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/GetOffMyLawn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GetOffMyLawn</span></a></p>

Nincowpoop<p>Is it just me or are my LED bulbs going out now just as fast as my old incandescent bulbs? It felt like when I first started using them that they seemingly lasted forever.

Jason Rush<p>I hate this stupid bottle-episode trend. When TV used to be 24 episodes a season, sure, take an episode to do a random story. But with 10 episode seasons? Even if it's a good bottle episode (like tonight's Mythic Quest about Pootie) it's still robbing us of, like, a tenth of a season!</p><p><a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/amwatching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amwatching</span></a> <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/tv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tv</span></a> <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/grumpy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grumpy</span></a> <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/oldmanyellsatcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oldmanyellsatcloud</span></a> <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/getoffmylawn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>getoffmylawn</span></a> <a href="https://social.horrorhub.club/tags/grumblegrumble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grumblegrumble</span></a></p>
Holly<p>A few years ago my friends and I met regularly for happy hour at our fav restaurant/bar. The bartender got to know me, and I knew if he was working because by the time I sat down a mango marg would be waiting for me. Today I had a similar experience, but it was at the pharmacy. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/getOffMyLawn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>getOffMyLawn</span></a></p>

Willard Goosey<p>The kids I work with made me feel old yesterday.

thefathippy<p>Cool. Telstra just offered me up to 1300 off a new flagship phone. Was $2750. 2750 moneys for a phone. Shakes head. I fail to see the value. In the deal, I can trade 2024's 2.4k flagship for &lt;1/2 what they sell it for. No.</p><p>I bought a [considerably cheaper] flagship a few years ago. It hasn't been great. Hell, it hasn't even been good. Not recommended.</p><p>My non-flagship Chinese spy phone - as barred from govt use - worked really well &amp; was reasonably priced ✅</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ShakingFistsAtClouds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShakingFistsAtClouds</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/GetOffMyLawn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GetOffMyLawn</span></a></p>
Sakti :v6:<p>Genuine question - are critical thinking skills still being taught in schools? (I don't have kids) I know this makes me sound like a grumpy old man 😅 </p><p>It feels more fundamental than ever these days, to avoid getting sucked into disinformation and conspiracy. </p><p>I know there are no silver bullets, but it seems like even a basic understanding of how to verify &amp; corroborate would go a long way to helping people navigate the pitfalls of the modern media landscape. </p><p><a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/OldManThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldManThoughts</span></a> <a href="https://ravenation.club/tags/GetOffMyLawn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GetOffMyLawn</span></a></p>
David Brent 📚<p>Unpopular opinion (at least, unpopular with the 9yo): the Sonic the Hedgehog movies are glorified Saturday morning cartoons with big budgets, special effects, and a big name actor or two.

Charles Perry<p>25 years ago, I was on pager duty waiting to see if the world melted down due to Y2K. </p><p>(You see kids, there used to be these things called “pagers” that were like cell phones except you couldn’t talk through them. No, you couldn’t text either. What were they for? Well you could send a phone number and the recipient would call you back. On a landline. What’s a landline? *sigh* Nevermind.
