My old person trait is that I think ‘ghosting’ is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

    These are not old person traits, these are just things that most people agree upon.

        Exactly.

        Apps either cost subscription fees or are optimized for showing mobile ads.

        The internet is where in-game microtransactions happen.

        They can’t make any more money off of you after a sale of something if you can maintain the product by yourself.

        I don’t get why people think that way. 30 is not that old, it would be considered old if you lived in middle ages but not now.

          I’m 38, wife is 33. We both dreaded entering our 30s but we both agree it’s the best decade (so far).

          Average lifespan in the US is 76 years, 30 is only 8 years shy of halfway through average life expectancy.

          Especially since average lifespan in the US is massively offset by the rich living longer, healthier lives, and the poor leading shorter, unhealthy, and broken lives, you’re looking at 30 probably being about halfway through life for anyone who isn’t obscenely rich.

          If you’re halfway through life, I’d classify that as “over the hill” or “old.”

          Now me? I’ve been old since I was 22, because I was always a cranky, ornery bastard.
