    Dating, though i have met my partner online too. Not dating app but a forum.

    Data, i LOVE PHYSICAL STUFF. TRY TO TAKE THAT AWAY STREAMING SERVICES!

    And politics. Used to actually be honorable and people across the board worked together for the good of their country.

      I get you on the last. As lowleek mentioned there was scummy politicians but damn it was nice when they tried to hide it and were ashamed (or at least aped shame) and most had pride in their position and thier institution. I miss the days when senators were senators before republicans/democrats and judges were judges first and the congress would put their own parties president to task for overstepping.

        I wasnt talking about american politics but there too. Though that defenetly has been more corrupt than what i am talking about: german politics. Helmust Schmidt was the last real chancler who cared

      Not so sure about the last one as it reeks of nostalgia. Corrupts politicians have existed in the past, honorable politicians still exist. The biggest change imo is how easily the corrupt people can influence their voters and how they get away with everything.

        Yeah politics has always been a cluster fuck. They didn’t just work together harmoniously to end slavery, people died for that. Likewise Eisenhower enforced the desegregation of schools at gunpoint with the 101st airborne.
