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?

Since COVID, spraying lysol and febreze is WAY more prevalent. I've developed full blown MCS because of it. I'm now having trouble finding trash bags and toilet paper that isn't scented.

A couple years ago I needed some garbage bags as my giant Costco one had run out and wasn't going for another week or two.

There were 0 unscented ones in the grocery store, I was shocked. I'd never encountered that before since the Costco ones last forever.

Sorry I buy the scented ones cause I have a cat...

It's obviously a case of Motion City Soundtrack. If it's full blown, we may just need to get fucked up and die
