Oh aye, I treated myself to a Twix chocolate bar the other day. I haven't had a Twix since, probably, ooooooh, the early 00's..... where exactly did the rest of the chocolate bar go?! There was nothing there, four chomps and gone, ridiculous.
Not to be bought again, meh.
So....
Everything in the world is now a piece of crap that will either break and be unable to be repaired or become utterly obsolete in around two years.
But...
Everything in the world will take 20000 years to decompose, if it decomposes at all.
And...
Everything takes hundreds of tonnes of carbon and quite a few lives to make.
They call it progress apparently.
When was the last occasion someone came up to you and asked the time? I miss those days. Never knew myself half the of time as was never a watch wearer; used to gauge by the sun and street lights and what month we were in at best 
No sequitur reply bots can just fuck off.

Always gives me a headache trying to figure out :
Did this person make an honest mistake?
Are they a bot?
Has my cognitive brain broken (again) ?
Or are they just a dipstick?
I bet NeuroBlands don't have this problem.
They probably just shrug and forget it.
Husband just reminded me that when we were kids, if we needed to see the GP our parents just took us, we sat around for a bit and then saw someone...
I know it wasn't ALL better in the old days, but honestly can understand why people might not have kids as much any more, when parenting requires a constant battle with waiting lists, queues and shitty automated phone systems

2024 Vinyl Purchase Revisit 6/12
#NowPlaying: 'Modern Life is Rubbish' by Blur (1993 - 2023 Orange Vinyl Record Day Remaster).
This is still such an incredible album. For a few years in the 1990s I was accidentally fashionable and I'm so glad I was accidentally fashionable to this. Beautifully flamboyant, clinically produced, and just - well - a lot of fun.
@NatalyaD@disabled.social @raracool@mastodon.ie @xanna@mastodon.ie Beats 'infotainment' which makes perfect sense but is repugnant on account of being made up by marketroids. And "stupid car computer" isn't specific enough, because a modern car is a network of stupid computers arguing with each other, on wheels.
(This also seems like a good time to mention the terms The Devil's Radio (WiFi) and The Devil's Other Radio (Bluetooth). Both of which our Stupid Car Computer is overly keen on using while being spectacularly bad at.)
But yeah, for reasons that probably made sense at the time, the car will detect my phone over bluetooth, start the Android Auto stuff, and then automagically create a WiFi connection between the two for high-bandwidth screen sharing. This is great when I want to use it for twatnav purposes while driving (although, frankly, a USB cable would work fine). And decidedly un-great if I want to connect the phone to another WiFi network while standing near the car that's supposed to be switched off but for reasons known only to the Stupid Car Computer is staying awake like a naughty child on Christmas Eve and maintaining the connection to my phone long after I've taken the key out of the ignition and locked the doors. #ModernLifeIsRubbish
Some pop music for a Saturday evening. Blur. "For Tomorrow". #blur #modernlifeisrubbish #nowplaying #popmusic
Card payment machine makers need to get together and decide whether it's tap the top or tap the screen. One only. This nonsense has gone on for too long
Because whoever's burglar alarm has been making an annoy-o-tron BIP! every 36 seconds all year wasn't fully accessible, the neighbours' floodlight appears to have failed in a way that makes it light up for about half a second every minute. I suppose that's marginally better than the usual strobe-o-vision failure mode, thobut.

Unbelievable! Just been on a website which threw up an ad... for an Ad Blocker!
Mad or what?
the #HMRC bot now makes you answer loads of questions, get all your details and then just says "sorry, we're busy" and hangs up. #ModernLifeIsRubbish
Blur on Saturday at Wembley, where for a little while, modern life definitely wasn’t rubbish
#GreatAlbums1990s - #Blur – #ModernLifeIsRubbish (1993). Blur upped the game on their second disc, adding the Syd Barrett/ Bowie/ Small Faces fixations that would define them at their peak. For a band tagged as “pop,” there’s considerable adrenaline here – not to mention enough weirdness to suggest Blur was always too arty and esoteric to wear the Britpop crown of thorns stuck on their stylish moptops soon after this, their best album.

#ModernLifeIsRubbish "ooh let's book a Badminton court"; need to book a week in advance, need an "Account"; need a Membership Card; creates account, pays £15; forwards email to work email; have to 2FA to receive it; click login - needs email... click "forgot your password" to set up password; waits 30mins for "you forgot your password" ... still waiting... by the time it comes it'll be booked by someone else, but i'll have burned loads of calories refreshing my emails

Apparently, attacks on electricity infrastructure is a thing in some places...
