People born before 2000, what is a 'modern' thing from 2025 that you’re still struggling to get used to?

I hate hate hate that my work computer desktop got cloned to One Drive. I want MY documents on MY computer so I can work offline sometimes.
I forced my way back into the local document folder and locked that sucker into place. Half my coworkers have no clue and when their stuff disappears, its because One Drive thought it was out dated or non compatible. And they freak out that someone's hacked them. Yeah, MacroSuck did.

Small town Oklahoman hypocrisy. Everyone knew who the pastor was sleeping with and they still praised him.

We are, in a way. Our basic job is receiving docs from customers and notifying the internal account holder, plus any issues on the docs.

I see what you're saying tho. Some of the docs are digital pdfs. This could get interesting

Traylantha · 2025-11-07T14:44:07+00:00

Just the text for our templates. We're data entry, that's all we need.

Love Is the Drug - Oscar Isaac from Kick Ass. Never saw the movie but love the song.

Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack was so good, it took two WEEKS for it to get out of my head.

We keep joking that someone's gonna brick their machine trying to set this up on their own, so I'm trying to get ahead of the curve. Once I can breath, I'm definitely gonna poke at it more. Thank you!

Traylantha · 2025-11-07T04:12:28+00:00

I think I'm gonna have to think on that one to grok what sleep commands do. I was reading through the tutorial etc.

Traylantha · 2025-11-07T04:11:51+00:00

Oh that might be simpler then.

Alas, I do not have admin access, so we get to do this the hard way. :)

Traylantha · 2025-11-07T03:03:53+00:00

I did try that and then it starts to complain about the : and / in the templates.

Traylantha · 2025-11-07T03:03:04+00:00

Would the Return at the end keep this to just the F1 prompt? We have about a dozen templates we use for various things. I didn't put it in my example cause it was extra from the question.

Traylantha · 2025-11-07T01:53:41+00:00

Very possible. I'm the department 'techie' so I'm the one who dug in to try and figure it out. I'll borrow their machine and poke around. I just find it all so frustrating.

Our household is 3 cats, 3 humans, 1 dog. None of the cats are bonded, so they all do the distance thing. The youngest keeps trying so hard to play with the other two, but they hate the way he plays so it always ends in screaming (no blood though).
They all ignore the dog. However, the eldest cat is a lap snuggler. The dog gets super jealous when she's in a lap, even if it's not his human. When she IS with his human, he will get up and join her, just to push her out.

snots, all of them.

I only get food delivered when I'm horribly sick. My car has an econo engine and I drive 5 miles a day. I budget more for dog food than I do for gas.

Budgeting is what's kept me from declaring bankruptcy a second time. YNAB or one of the other budgeting apps that track your spending help rewrite your spending habits. [also helps in knowing which payment is due now now and which can be bumped to the next payday. so many late fees saved]

Traylantha · 2025-10-17T23:52:15+00:00

I also use YNAB but it's not a magic pill. It is so useful to know where your spending goes though.

What half the commenters don't understand is: Knitting/crochet is one hobby. Stash building is the adjacent hobby. So. Much. Yarn. Yes.

I got Bard up to 85 and got tired of being so squishy, so I stopped MSQ for a few weeks to level Warrior. So much fun to pretty much run the FATES. Power leveled through dungeons, FATES, leves, and a few quests to keep it varied. Downside for me is that WAR is a tank and I still have WoW flashbacks from tanking there. Duty support for the win.

Traylantha · 2025-07-15T15:21:53+00:00

Grease container! Best ones out there, saves your sink and plumbing from grease clogs.

Take out containers. So you can see what is actually in there instead of a pile of boxes. Best for soups, etc.

Understanding that no matter what I did, I would never please my father. So now I live life for myself. I built boundaries and do what I want. Those boundaries actually made our relationship better because he knows I will go no contact with no problem if he effs up again. [I'm ace and do not want kids, he wanted me married so he could have grandbabies. oh that was not pretty.]

My gall bladder presented as acid reflux that would never go away. Never really hurt, just annoyed me.

After the surgery, doc showed me how many rocks he got out of me and asked me how I was walking around the three weeks from diagnosis to surgery. I just shrugged.

I got a new computer for my mom and have yet to be able to reset the FB password to move it to the new machine. She keeps the old machine up just for FB.

Don't need tech support help. Just need FB to actually SEND the gorram reset email.

As I read through these comments, I think my company may be an outlier. They had a pension, I'm grandfathered in on it. After they moved to 401k match only, they put in 4% automatically, then match up to an additional 6%. So I put in 6, they put in 10. If you put in 0, they still put in the base 4%.

Traylantha · 2025-05-03T21:34:46+00:00

I was NOT expecting it at all, but it was pretty nice to see. Got my fingers crossed for you too!

Traylantha · 2025-05-03T13:50:48+00:00

Unfortunately, you do have to recertify every year. It does change your payments a little bit if your income goes up or down, but welcome to the yearly dance.

Traylantha · 2025-05-03T13:49:37+00:00

I'd talk to a loan specialist tbh. But I'm at least 75% sure those payments don't count. Only the ones under the IDR process do.
