YES YES YES I think the exact same thing.

I used to watch Walker Texas Ranger with my mom at night, but I got to where I didn't want to anymore and a huge part of it was because they played these commercials every single time. Again, I am not against what they stand for, but you can only see the same commercial so many times before it starts to become annoying and it doesn't help they're abnormally long as well. Plus, I have a weird feeling they're not what they crack themselves up to be either.

If I was to watch it again, I'd just record it to my DVR and watch it later so I can fast forward through them. 😎

1. The smell of melon is the only thing I hate.

2. I have been collecting hotweels for 8 years and have never unpacked them.

3. I don't like remasters or old games at all.

4. I drive advanced cars in real life, but the way I look in GT7 is not even half the truth. :)

5. I'm completely obsessed with using items. The items I use are not scratched, their cables are not bent or dirty. I don't sit anywhere except on a bench or couch outside. (even stone, marble, plastic or wood), I wipe the items before use. I don't have any dusty items. I don't even use my steering wheel at 270°, I use it between 240°. Final limits are not for me.
 
1. I have gotten to where I get annoyed when I hear my dad laugh now because when he does, he often feels the need to force us to watch whatever it is he's laughing at regardless if we want to see it or not. It doesn't help it's either something I have already seen or something that isn't even all that funny to me.
2. I favor Gameboy Color games more than Gameboy Advance games as of late.
3. I hate it when people say "skill issue" anytime someone complains about difficulty in a video game, or anything in general really, but mostly video games. Sure certain things can be summed up as such, but some things are just way harder than they need to be and sometimes saying something is hard isn't even a skill issue, it's an analysis.
4. For some reason, I laugh hysterically when I see a chicken floating on water and swimming like a duck. :lol:
5. I hate my middle name.

My friend, don't get me wrong, but have you thought about it this way? I am 30 years old, my father may be 60 years old. They've just seen this technology and they like it. and sharing it with those closest to him makes him very happy. ?. Maybe it's not because you laugh at the things he shares. Could he have been trying to say, "I can do this, look and see?" My father is 72 years old and when he does something, he wants to show it off and say he can do it, and we are very happy.
 
It says I posted ITT previously, but I don't remember what I said, so I've come up with a new list:

1. I tried qualifying for the Olympics once.

2. I was TIME Magazine's Person of the Year in 2006.

3. I've stood exactly where a nuclear weapon was detonated.

4. I once met Charlie Trotter at his restaurant in Chicago.

5. I have a copy of the Gran Turismo 4 Special Toyota Demo, which I acquired at the 2004 NY Int'l Auto Show.

It's not that, he's been accustomed to using his phone for a long time now, so it's not all that new to him anymore. I must say though, I've tolerated his desire to show us every little thing he finds funny for quite some time now, and the feeling I have about it now is one I only developed in the past year or so. Sometimes you can only tolerate something for so long before it starts to become annoying.

1. I don't like getting into discussions about what kind of punishments people's parents gave them when they misbehaved at a young age.
2. I am supposed to finish up with what I am doing at college next year and I am not sure where I'll be once that time comes yet.
3. My interest in collecting diecast cars, although not gone, is waning since I haven't quite found a decent method to properly store my most recent additions to my collection and haven't really been to any places that sell cars I care a lot about in a while. My desire to customize diecast however is still something I care about, albeit not as much as I used to.
4. I never was a huge fan of the Nintendo DS simply because of the whole idea of having 2 screens, I find it disorienting.
5. I really enjoy ripping sprites from Gameboy games and I contribute to Spriter's Resource fairly often.

Bonus Fact:
6. Kind of an extension of #5, but of all the sprites I rip from games, ripping entire levels is what I tend to enjoy the most. My mom says I used to do a lot of puzzles when I was little and since piecing together a bunch of screenshots is like a puzzle, I imagine that's why I find satisfaction from it.
 
1. I graduated from Duke University in 2011. I got my diploma for finishing high school. It was tough, but I made it through. I even skipped the prom to have some semi-peace.

2. I am a rock music fan.

3. My favorite cartoon is Spongebob Squarepants.

4. My favorite flavors of ice cream are strawberry and chocolate.

5. My favorite wrestler is Chris Jericho.
 
1. I use this thread when there’s nowhere else to post.

2. My first legit job, during collage, I sold alcohol and cigarettes in an off-licence. My family jokingly nicknamed me The Merchant of Death for my whole employment there.

3. I got into a conversation with a pub owner in Hong Kong who recognised my accent as east London. Turns out he grew up on the street where I last lived in England, just a few hundred meters from my former home.

4. I’m in the process of aesthetically modding my daily hypermiling ******* as close to the race modified Civic EK as possible. Just for comedy. It’s comically slow.

5. I have an online shopping addiction that is probably more expensive than my beer addiction. Probably. I buy mostly low cost items with free shipping that are supplemental to other items I already have.

Bonus fact: my dislike for Chinese imports falls by the wayside when roaming the online stores.

What year did you graduate from college? Just curious. Anything is better than a beer addiction.
 
1. I get sadistic tendencies when I am REALLY angry.
2. I love to eat taco shells by themselves.
3. I really hate it when people chew with their mouths open and/or smack their food. I also don't like seeing videos or gifs of people eating stuff either, knowing they could be doing this.

5. My cat broke the battery connector on my iPod a few months back and I've tried several times to fix it and it's been the source of great frustration for me as of recent. To the point, I have had to set it aside and just ignore it because just thinking about it alone was bothering me way too much.

I said this last year, I did try sending it off to a friend not long after I said this, but they sadly could not fix it due to a lack of proper equipment, so they gave it back to me later on. One whole year later and it still has not been fixed yet. Although I still hope to fix it someday, I haven't made any more attempts to do so and it still sickens to even look at it.
5. I have a lot of music from my youth I want to completely forget about. If I find out a drive or device still has traces of it on there, I will go to some pretty long lengths to ensure it's gone for good, to the point not even recovery software can find it.
 
1. I tend to like concept cars more than the production models they later become.
2. I don't like analog horror videos.
3. I used to get car sick very easily about 20 years ago if I was to read a book or try to do my homework while riding in a car. While I don't even know if I am still like that now, the thought of it happening once more bothers me so bad, I don't even want to give it a chance to happen ever again. :ill:
4. I don't like matte paint jobs or any dull paint jobs in general, I never found them very appealing.
5. I don't really enjoy playing video games online much, especially since I never know what to expect from the people I may encounter and I can't pause the game whenever I am needed for something. As a result, I would rather just stay offline for peace of mind. However, if I know who I am playing with, that changes everything.

Do you have strong memories associated with this music, or is it simply a matter of a change in taste?

It’s both. Wasn’t too long ago I nuked our old desktops hardrive because it used to contain countless songs from back then. (of course I salvaged anything of value before I did)

1. I don't like the idea of speedrunning in video games. I prefer to just play the game as intended because speedrunning just sounds like something that would just stress me out and frustrate me more than anything else. The very things I aim to get away from when playing video games.
2. I have an intense obsession with the Garage 56 Camaro that was raced at Le Mans 2023, especially with the way it sounds. Because of this, I have become a lot more interested in Le Mans as a whole and the track they have held it on.
3. Growing up as a kid, I rarely spoke up about any problems I had with my classmates at school and kept a lot of things to myself, especially in my middle school years. While I am a lot more vocal about them now than I used to be, I do still have a tendency to keep quiet about them sometimes.
4. I have developed an obsession with collecting hybrids from other people in GT5 since moving cars across save games is doable these days.
5. I really dislike Snapchat filters and I think they ruin every single picture they are used on.

1. I never understood why people would throw their controllers when they get gamer rage over something. I never felt the need to do that.
2. I don't have a favorite car company. Sure I have ones I like more than others, but I cannot pick one I like better than any other.
3. I don't like excessive amounts of camber on cars and think it just makes them look REALLY stupid.
4. Yellow is my favorite color and how it became mine was simply because I just randomly chose it when asked during a school assignment when I was 8, I didn't actually know what mine was at the time. Somehow, it's stuck with me ever since.
5. I tend to enjoy reading a lot of old threads here on GTP.
 
1. My favorite racing games are NFS, Gran Turismo and Crash Nitro Fueled.

My 5th biggest dream is to have a house with a garden.
 
1. I love/hate the alcohol.
2. I’m currently doing a clean out of all the junk in my shed. Turns out there isn’t that much junk. It was just poorly organised.
3. Relatives of mine have served at the Somme, Rorke’s Drift, HMS Hood, Gallipoli and Northern Ireland. I’ve never set foot in the military. First in my blood line to never kill in warfare. Although I’ve been in road traffic incidents that have resulted in fatalities.
4. I haven’t eaten today, but I’ve had 6 beers. I don’t suffer calorie deficit because beer isn’t inert. 250 calories per pint!
5. I recently got into Tool and I’m exited for the second album, after really enjoying the first album.

That is interesting, would you like to share what happened?

Honestly, not really. I spent a time touring in China and happened to get crossed up with an old guy who ignored his mirrors and the rules of the road. I was cleared of any wrong doing by the local police, as I had telemetry data from my ride proving I wasn’t in the wrong.

It was a bit hard to swallow but such is the way of things. It was an unavoidable incident that ended in tragedy. My team mate and I donated funds towards his burial, and we left it at that.

I don’t want to revisit that time if I don’t have to. But you got it in a nutshell.
