  1. I am the only person in the entire country who knows and follows the rules for operating a vehicle.

This is a constant source of frustration for me. Im on the spectrum and even though my logical, intelligent side of the brain understands that rules are just words; the emotional part of my brain just screams "THATS NOT HOW THIS WORKS" every time someone hits their hazard lights and just gets out of their car in the middle of a 35mph road.

  1. Streaming services were better than cable for about 3 years somewhere between 2013 and 2019. Now there's too many, they're too expensive, and they shuffle their libraries around too much.

I wanna watch key and peele. oops its not on the comedy central app? who owns comedy central....hmmm....paramount? okay its on paramount plus...and its just a link that takes me to Amazon video? why? just play the show what is this

Paramount seems to be the most inconsistent streaming service between countries. It's just a random eclectic mix of stuff. It's all stuff they have made, but it's not everything that they've ever made.

That's not really a boomer complaint, that's just a pro-privacy pro-internet security kind of complaint. Everyone of all ages hates having to have an account for everything and its mother

It's also a lack of convenience complaint, and an anti e-waste complaint.

What happens when thier server has an outage or your internet is down...

What happens when the company goes out of business or just decides they don't care about the product anymore or they'd prefer it if you have to buy a new one...

The real question is why our government in the USA hasn't stepped in and made any protections for our data, which would solve this issue entirely. Apps like Temu or Character.AI have very sketchy data management and privacy practices, you have no idea what they're really doing with your data, it's required to make an account for both of them. Clearly they are selling them and obtaining lots of your data to do all sorts of things with. Frankly, I don't think it should be legal to obtain huge amounts of people's data, specifying nothing about what it is actually, truly being used for

Add tik tok, meta, google, and amazon to that list

That's not a boomer thing. Boomer will be like "sure, I'll give you all the informations you want, even the name of my dog and my credit card number".
