LifeFuel "Opting out" of the very strange modern world

[Hoppipolla]

Has anyone else tried this?

Just... not really engaging with modern stuff. Watching old movies, playing old video games, etc.

I'm finding it kind of nice!

I don't think it's healthy to do it 100% but to some degree it really helps me "reboot"!

Modern society is a bit odd for me!

 

[AtrociousCitizen]

I can't do that, but I do watch relatively older media sometimes.

I may try this one day

Only in gaming eveeything else i keep up

Old media still doesn't let me escape relationships. I just try to avoid anything with characters or human interactions when I want to get away from reminders of my inceldom.

 

[Pancakecel]

Yeah, when it comes to games, movies/ shows, music its all older stuff. I still look at the news from time to time, but try not to do that so much, as its just depressing. Unplugging from this clown world makes sense tbh.

I fell out of the loop a long time ago. Anything made after 2010 I consider "new". 2015+ is newslop not worth giving a try unless it has exceptionally good reviews and is considered groundbreaking. I mean why bother paying attention to mediocre stuff when you have access to the best of the best pieces?

I wish I could just opt out of life in general

Yeah, that's bascially what we're left with if we don't want to be tormented by depictions of social bonds.

Yeah agreed. And it has an effect too. It's much harder for this modern entertainment and stuff to stay afloat if hardly anyone is actually engaging with it!

I think there have been signs of "wokeness" for a long while but... yeah maybe 2016 onwards there was a considerable acceleration. It was steadily worsening before then too though I think.

I know a dude with a usb projector hooked up to his phone where he watches old black and white movies from the 40's on his walls

I live in a tent in the woods

 

[Misogynist Vegeta]

I already unintentionally do this as most modern day media is inferior to media that was made over a decade ago.

I think that phenomenon is better than conscious boycotts.

I'm the same with most modern entertainment. I'm not really boycotting it as such because I don't have to - I don't like it anyway.

 

[DeadOnArrivalCel]

Modern people SHIT
Modern life SHIT
Modern culture SHIT

 

[SK6208]

I didn't opt out. I was thrown out.

I didn't quit. I simply was fired
