Sounds awful. I am pretty sick of just not being able to spend a single moment without being advertised to.

Hell yeah! My favorite will always be Richard Diamond. Private Investigator but I love Suspense and The Shadow as well.

Oh and Gunsmoke of course; I like the show as well but James Arness’ voice just doesn’t match William Conrad.

Seriously, why the fuck has advertising become so incredibly insidious and pervasive in recent years? I can’t go anywhere on the internet and not see ads or a warning to turn off my ad blocker or message telling me to subscribe to view the content. Worse, I can’t even be out in public in the city without having another fucking ad shoved in my face. I was recently walking downtown at 1 am or so waiting on an uber and really enjoying the cool night air, not on my phone or anything, just enjoying the moment, and I saw an insanely bright billboard advertising something.

I feel like ads are just starting to really wear on me. I’m sick of consuming and being told to consume and being manipulated in the death throes of capitalism.

My old person trait is that I listen to old radio shows and watch a ton of classic movies and shows.

I’m 28 and don’t even know when I discovered this exactly but on archive.org there’s a group of people called the Old Time Radio Researchers Group who catalogue and archive all of the old radio shows. Some of the episodes sound like they could have been recorded yesterday just because they’re in such high quality.
