Am I the most old-fashioned person on WP?

Yes that does annoy me, it's such a repetitive or painful thing to do. All humans are hairy, get over it, society.

Seems maybe in good company here ...

how do you do that?

I've gotten quite a few creepy PMs. I've reported them all. One wanted to see a picture of me without my clothes on.

That gender role annoys me to no end. It's 2022 for crying out loud.

I also think that you're right about political correctness as well. I like Beavis and Butthead.

I agree. It's better to have a sense of humour about yourself. Many people are too serious these days.

It must have been exciting being the first family to have a colour TV. Did all of your neighbours come over to watch colour TV? Were you able to Hogan's Heroes in colour when it first aired? I would have loved to have seen that TV set.

Wow! And I thought I was the most old-fashioned member here. I still feel like a Sweet Pea. Om Nom could reappear around October.

september 8, 1966, a thursday evening, was when i sat in the box our brand-new setchell-carlson 25" color tv set came in, watching the first episode of "star trek." i suspect we were the first family on the block at least to have a color set of this size. it made all the colors look positively fluorescent like they glowed in the dark. this is an old-fashioned memory of a then-new-fashioned thing.

I also try not to discuss my political views on WP, but I also end up doing so. Once I make a post in a thread in PPR, I don't bother going back to that thread. I spare a lot of my feelings that way.

I've talked to members of the opposite sex without being introduced, so I guess I could be pretty modern.

You can put your PM permissions so that only certain people can message you.
You can fill in the names of your friends or trusted members.
Trolls and creepy people can't get through.
I'm not sure if it tells them they're banned or if their message just disappears into cyberspace.

I don't have Spotify. I'm not even sure what it is.
I don't know what MP3 is.

I don't make phone calls or leave voicemail.
(I will answer phone calls from known friends). ^

I've never done a video chat except for business Zooms.
I've taken one selfie in my life (to figure out how it works).

I don't do audio books or online books at all, except very occasionally Gutenberg for studies.
I bought a flat so I could be closer to a University library.

I've never paid for an app.
I don't even know how to add an app or stream a movie.
(My daughter knows how, though).

I've never played a video game except for arcade games around 1980.

I don't watch TV except for a bunch of old DVD box sets.

I play most of my music on a turntable with vinyl albums including 45's.

Of course I have some technology in my life like a computer, but not much else.

I steamed fruit and veg to make homemade baby food and never bought any formula.
I used cloth diapers and knit my own layettes (booties, bonnets, dresses, Christening gowns).
My father built the baby crib and cradle with wood.

I dont think you are the most old fashioned person here .I would rather live in the Texas of 1907 than the Texas of today..I think by Texas standards you are one of the very least old fashioned people I have known online due I am only bringing this you up because you asked and I think you are very modern and un old fashioned because you are transgender.We are also all using computers and I know someone who has never used a computer or been on the internet and its 2022.So I would say we are all more modern than some people.I dont think you are super old fashioned.I think I am more old fashioned in many areas than you buts thats just my personal thoughts.I really did not mean to bring up the transgender thing to be rude or disrespectful or hateful or anything.Just the thing its very radical and the opposite of old fashioned to me.Because 1950's would be old fashioned.I am more of the 1950's type than a 2020's type of person when it comes to old fashioned.However I am super modern because I think every vice should be legal and unregulated for the most part in America if it does not hurt other people.I am way more modern on drugs than my father because he thinks pot should remain illegal and I think every hard drug should legal for adults.

Thank you. I realised that after I'd got this PM and changed the setting. I was shocked to get a creepy PM on a moderated site like Wrong Planet! I've had dozens on Twitter, Facebook etc. but they rarely do anything about things like that. I'm glad WP takes action.
