Porn used to be better. None of this gagging, fecophilia, golden showers, etc. Just straight up action. With bushes.

Plus if you wanted to watch some skinema, you had to go to the porno theater, which is a unique experience. I used to live near a porno theater. They put the names on the marquee, and as kids, we'd watch the dudes coming and going, looking all hang dog.

Now, it's all in the privacy of your home - much less communal, more isolated. It's should take a village to ease one off.

Fuck, most everything was made better- electronic equipment, a lot of clothing and shoes, homes. Everthing is now disposable, or unrepairable. Tv breaks? Fuck, buy a new one, it's not made to be fixed. Fuel pump out? Wanna rebuild it? tough shit, ain't gonna happen.

Rock and roll used to be made better, at least on a larger scale.

This is bullshit. Electronic equipment is now more functional, efficient, portable, and cheaper. People from decades ago would cream thier pants to have access to current household products. All the classic "quality" electronics that people are nostalgic about now were expensive, top of the line items which can't compete with today's counterparts of the same caliber.

Clothing and shoes were better made and more durable...well I can't argue with that. Except they were made to last because people weren't expected to have more than a couple of outfits. No synthetic fibers, no lightweight or weatherproof materials....enjoy wearing the same wool coat for two decades.

Why do you want to fix your tv so badly? People fixed thier TVs because buying new replacements wasn't economically feasible. Do you really want to take your 15 inch black and white to an appliance shop, then wait 5 days before they can get it back to you? I prefer the modern world of instant exchanges/warrenties and the option of upgrading frequently without breaking the bank because mass production has made it affordable.

I personally miss solid, old quality furniture. I hate the painted over recycled wood pulp crap that is pretty much the basis of all mass produced furniture nowadays.

You're part of the problem if you prefer "the modern world of instant exchanges/warrenties(sic)" You've just admitted you're a typical consumer. It's economically feasible to buy a replacement TV because they're now pieces of shit.

Look at Sony. Used to be, if it was a Sony, you knew you had something good. Now, you know you'll have to replace it within a year or two.

I still have a Sony TV in a wooden casing that my dad bought around the time I was born. Amazing stuff.
