O/T Rant...
......
That felt good to vent that out didn't it bro? It's why I love this thread.
I feel the same way about today's music.
I remember back in the day my old man bitching about the music I'd listen to "blah blah blah better back in my day! That's not music that's noise! blah blah blah" etc etc...
Now I'm old and decrapit, I find myself doing the same thing.
Yeah, I agree bro, all this woke nonsense is just that, nonsense, in my old fuddy duddy way of thinking.
But here's the thing. You either just come to terms with change or stay in your comfort zone and gripe about the good ol days.
You don't have to agree with it. (And I don't). I just smile, shrug and keep doing what I do.
It doesn't affect my quality of life really. I actually see it as entertainment. It would be boring if things always stayed the same. But that's just me. ymmv.
When my daughter visits I make sure I get her to educate me on the latest silliness, so I can poke fun at it later online and have a laugh.
(only after she's gone, mind you. Else she gets pissed at me and we get into an argument, lol)
On her last visit, we went to the theater and saw that new Ghost Busters movie.
It was ok, I guess. Albeit, I'm not really a huge movie buff. But I had a great time because my daughter loved it, which was all that mattered to me.

Yes very much agree and you raise good points.
My main spotify play list is probably 90% pre 2000. And I haven't turned the radio on in probably 2 decades.
I don't even know why they bother with all this DAB claptrap in modern cars and some car models still have massive antennas that make them look like RC cars,
but I guess some people still use radio.
I did see the latest Ghostbusters. I can rip it to shreds the more I think about many aspects and plot points. But it wasn't anywhere near as nihilistic as what I saw this evening.
I was also with someone who enjoyed Frozen Empire and in those cases that is indeed all that can matter.
Many movies still do well so a lot of the stuff is probably just shifting to a younger audience. An audience that perhaps looks for other things than what I do. I mostly look for heart, passion, atmosphere and an interesting story.
But it's surprising to then see them use so many 40-50 (nearing 60 in the case of Planet of the Apes!) year old franchises still, but I guess that is just what they are doing now, even if the audience is different.
On a positive note a visit to Japan is very much on the cards. Beyond their culture & history, their entertainment impresses me.

Anyway.... hopefully BTC will be back to 70K during/after the weekend.
The halvening is getting very close now.
I have stuff going on this weekend.
Have a good one everyone.
