Things we cannot be bothered by anymore

Occurred to me today that I have dropped stuff that I cannot just be bothered by anymore, and wondering what some of you out there have let go of as well 

Me (lean mostly into analog)

- Lifting a tonearm lever to cue a platter - no more - years off my life

- Carbon brushes, cart cleans with every spin or two - years off my life

- Ugly racks that look like ones I had in 10th grade, though cost 20x more - out 

- Listening at low volume levels to gauge audiophile purity

- A/B'ing streaming platforms 

Finale - $50 audiophile pressings "remastered from the original master tapes" that sound like sanitized cheese spread - magic gone, warped, drop-outed, bubbled, and gain-whacked (there are exceptions for sure)

 

How about you?

Extra large concert venues

Politics that I have no control over

looking at house for sale that are 40% overpriced 

Filling the car with gas, oil change and all car services

(Bought an ev in 2023)

listening to people comparing new music and classic rock

(laptop music vs actually excelling on playing an instrument)

BS trends that folks are lining up for like Sheeple

Music artist Genre jumping because they can’t come up with anything original in their own genre

@mapman 

When 53% of the US population reads at a 5th grade level or lower,don’t expect folks to make educated decisions regarding our leaders 

Critical thinking is out the window
