literally everything, you're just old
Exactly. These old farts with their nostalgia good old days yearnings. Name one thing that is not better. I can just look around my house and see just how much better and cheaper (adjusted for inflation) things are. My refrigerator, TV, car. washer/dryer, computer, stationary bike. I would literally not be able to train properly without the advances in equipment today. There are just some movements I can no longer do using just free weights. I just have an average midrange automobile but the shit it has. The gas mileage it gets. The amenities. How they are able to get much more horsepower out of a smaller more fuel efficient engine with fuel injectors and turbos. The safety features with camera and sensors where you have to be a complete idiot to ding your car in a parking garage. My tankless water heater never runs out of hot water no matter how many people are visiting and taking a shower one after another while I have the washer going set on hot.
I have a friend who says that he's going to live off the grid in a few years. Just build a cabin and live off the land. Hunt, fish, grow his own vegetables. So f-ing clueless. Just wait until he realized that clean running water doesn't just come out of nowhere and when winter and the snow hits he's done.
