Absolutely. However, the majority of men older than that age demographic have a significant other and/or children. And you can bet your arse it ain’t Dad choosing to go into debt to take a trip to Disney

Headphones in everywhere


I saw two young urban youth both wearing 2 sets of headphones, one around their neck and another on their head (not even over their ears). Is this the new style? It looks very stupid.

Always in headphones have become the new “wireless earpiece”, just much more pervasive. About six months ago, I watched a judge absolutely skullfrick a kid over keeping their AirPods in when they came to the podium in the well.

This is foreign to me. "Dad" makes all of the significant financial decisions.

I agree with all of these except fantasy football. I do one league a year and I have been in the league for close to 20 years now. Somebody at work talked me into it and now I look forward to it every year

Here’s a pro tip - focus on the shite you can control; don’t bitch on the OT about shite you can’t control.

I've watched because it popped up. They don't seem to crack jokes or anything but talk about what they are doing right then. It didn't even appear to be instructional.

I would be curious how popular the streamer was. Most of the very popular ones have a shtick. They aren’t just droning on.

I agree w everything you said and I'm 34, minus video games. I dont let any of my 5 kids over indulge but that's my poison. I think it's just a grown mind set, these things aren't beneficial to life, they're degenerative.

He's an old hippie and he don't know what to do, should he hang on to the old ways, should he grab on to the new.

When you're so boring you have to list drinking beer as a hobby

It’s boring if you play golf and suck at it…

But I imagine if you’re any good, it’s addicting

I’m 32 and have a hard time connecting with people my age. Granted, I’m busy working and raising kids.

I hate everything you said too except gaming. Can't wait for the EA college football game returning in July.

I’ve only played fantasy a few times. But it makes the NFL season a whole lot more interesting.
