    When you go from wanting to get the latest greatest new phone on the market to dreading having to change over to a new phone at all. I can't remember a time I was less thrilled about getting something new.

    I used to salivate over new Macbook Pro models. Always bought them immediately. Bought one to replace my 6 year old MBP a few months ago, tried to set it up for a couple days, gave up and returned it. I can't even figure out my hi-fi connections any more :(

    I can still figure it all out. That has never been an issue. Phone are just too fucking big now. I absolutely did not want anything larger than my previous Droid Turbo. It was already borderline too big. Form factor matters and just about everything today day is too tall and too slim. It's amazing people bitch about battery life but want a thinner and thinner phone. Leave some heft in it and stick a shit load of battery in that space. They are so slim the camera modules all protrude from the rear surface now. That's just fucking moronic.

    Used to love driving and having fun. Now I dread it and I'm big on sitting in the right lane(s) and just going with the flow of traffic.

    I know what you mean. I just got done building a new smokin fast computer....lots of changes since my last build in 2012.......RGB lights in the case and on the memory sticks, water cooled twin fan w/radiator for CPU, UEFI, M.2 slots for SSD drives. The new one required a bit of research and the prudent use of pcpartpicker.com to make sure my list of components would all play together nicely before buying them and then building it

    When you can remember how everyone thought that Bayliss had wrapped up the 2002 WSBK championship by the halfway point. :D

    I thought the sign of getting old was the music you listened to growing up was now considered "classic"?

    When you look at the “must be born by this date” year number at the bar and say WTF. Then start thinking about how old you were and what you were doing in 19 f@cking 97

    Also It feels like my eye sight has dropped off the cliff in the last 6 months
