I do lament some old things while at the same time being happy things have changed.
I do miss not being expected to have my phone with me all the time - but I’m also happy that I can contact my teenage daughter wherever she is.
I do miss the era of physical media, especially video stores - but I also like being able to download any media I like (arr!) and have a lot of it streaming too, and fitting all of it into a tiny amount of space.
I do miss my old tiny 1980s manual Toyota Corrola - but I also like only spending a fraction of my paycheck on gas because I drive a Prius now. And I certainly don’t miss leaded gasoline.
I do miss the internet of the 1990s when it was more like the Wild West - but I also like things like adblockers and anti-tracking extensions and not having to clean your cookies regularly.
I’m sure I could think of others, but these are off the top of my head.
Between having to wear the mask and the noise, I imagine I would have many bad nights of sleep until I got used to it. Probably would make working a real challenge.
My favorite thing about Star Trek- and I do like Star Wars, but this is where I think you may not like Star Trek if you like Star Wars- is that they (generally) try talking things out before using their weapons. I like to dream that we will eventually become a society where violence is not our first reaction to the unknown.
I agree 100%. I would never get a bird as a pet for this reason. I have a huge yard for my dogs to run around in and a dog door so they can go out any time they like. The only kind of bird you could do that with is a bird of prey that you’ve trained to do falconry with, and even then only for a limited amount of time.

Is it a about money? Is it a bragging rights thing? Is it a leftover of years gone by?
