Kids.

    You aren't disliking the internet because you get older. You dislike it because it is taken over by enshittifying corporations.

    At least it's like that for me.

    It' like that with almost anything nowadays too. In the last couple of decades, it's seems like every public corporation has pivoted from decisions primarily based on customer value, to primarily shareholder value.

    I hate the way that all the user content has moved from personal sites to social media. I miss all the random fan sites dedicated to Z list celebrities. There’s like 10 companies that just run the internet now.

    Also, all the tracking. I just want to browse the internet, I’ll look at your stupid adverts, just stop tracking me.

    Noise. I want to go quiet places and do quiet things. When I was older I loved dancing on tables in nightclubs now I just want silence

    Capitalism and people that say they would be in the "political center" or "unpolitical".

    Drinking alcohol. The 2-3 day hangover just isn't worth it.

    US American culture and politics. I wish people would stop worshipping that country just because it exports popular films and music. They have destroyed and still destroy democracies all over the world, fuel wars, exploit developing countries, still sell the image of them being "a free country" and "the american dream".

    Money and the wealthy. Everything I was told to look forward to when I got older was smashed and lit on fire in front of my fucking eyes by people who have never wanted for anything. I'm 40, now. I saw the birth of videogames and the Internet, only to watch it get burned down around me so some nepo-baby with a silver spoon can have another zero in their bank account.

    We are one of the only generations to have their life be WORSE OFF than their parents, and it hurts the most because those parents likely participated in, or voted for, the very mechanisms that led here. If I'm ever terminally diagnosed with some illness, you'll see me become the Mario to our modern Luigi.

    I was the guy building linux systems from the trash in 1999. And then complicated distributed systems for fun. Now I want to leave everything at defaults, or just turn on dark mode and be done with it.

    Working in tech has ruined tech for me. Hopefully not forever...

    Republicans and other parasites. Pop culture. Social media, and I never liked it at all.

    Videogames. Most of them assume an unreasonable amount of time to enjoy a fraction of the content, AND they are expensive as hell... I'm defaulting to stuff that is fun from the start or short indie titles

    candy, though i think it's more that i've gotten better at eating healthy as time goes on.

    but man, i just don't really find most candy appealing anymore, why would i eat candy when i could instead eat the same calories worth of schnitzel?

    I eat 90%-95% less candy than at my personal peak candy era, and while I do still like it a lot, it's WAY more intense to eat it now, so it feels to me that because I eat less of it, I'm satisfied with a smaller amount of it. Kind of useful to keep that caloric intake nice and low.

    I also sometimes bake/roast/grill meats instead of opting for processed snacks and candy, but that still takes more time then just opening the bag (of chips/candy) and shoving it in my facehole.

    Maybe not entirely the same thing, but I have less tolerance for bullshit.

    To varying degrees of politeness, depending on circumstance, I will not spend a moment listening to your bullshit once I realize you are going to be any kind of pain in my ass. I'm not talking about any specific kind of bullshit. Any interaction I have with someone where they are fake/rude/aggressive or even just seemingly unwilling to proceed smoothly with the the reason for our interaction will involve me leaving the interaction, calling that person out explicitly, or moving the interaction in another direction, whether overtly or not.

    I used to just sort of patiently wait for such things to play out most of the time. Ain't nobody got time for that shit.

    My father. He's always been a selfish shit of a person but growing up with it and not having a choice I guess I was somewhat conditioned to it. In my 40s now and I realise that I don't owe him anything nor do I have to listen to his bullshit for the rest of my life. Reap what you sow cunt.

    Late nights. I was always a night owl but after years of a routine I kinda like to go to bed early and get up early even on weekends.
