I've definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is "smart" nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn't require any of that before.

What's some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

Watching the superbowl on the bbc its always funny how much time the broadcast spends in the studio, because they can only show so many ads on uk tv.

Every single break in play!

How the fuck a 60 minute game can take 3+ hours to play is beyond me.

The BBC cannot show any ads at all - other networks can show ads but there is a lot of regulation.

Good point, I must have watched it on channel 4 or whatever it was on this year.
