What did people use to chase?

foxes?

ah that's right, it's political correctness gone mad!

People have substituted actual cool and fun things with boring and mundane things, and then can't figure out why they are always bored.

But this is off topic of things being to instant. In a more related note:

I'm not going to pretend to dislike the speed of today's society. It is the result of a changing society. Neither good nor bad. Things happen more rapidly, and perhaps society's impatience has grown with it, but might this not further encourage the research and development of technology that got us here in the first place?

I found myself doing the whole deliberately audible sigh routine in the supermarket this morning, while waiting to pay for my stuff. It was ridiculous. The guy in front asked a couple of perfectly reasonable questions to the girl on the till and I was ready to rain blows down on his head with my triple-can pack of drainless tuna chunks. And to think, I haven't had a properly busy day since around 1986.

tl;dr

no. must i explain everything to you?

i am talking society as a whole not specific things that have always been that way.

that'll slow em down, chase the dragon instead of their tail

Bender: "Let's just pray I have the energy to get myself another beer. [Presses button on remote. Beer spills onto Bender's chest] Oh, what is this, the Middle Ages?!"

Voice on TV:" Is today's hectic lifestyle making you tense and impatient?"
Bender: "SHUT UP AND GET TO THE POINT!"

Ugh indeed.

Notice the downturned mouth all these top phychics have. Is it to supress the giggle reflex when he puts one over another gumbie?

Thank you, though I obviously take influence from others both here and elsewhere. It takes a village.
