IR blaster! I miss that feature. When my wife was sick in the hospital they had a TV with 10 stupid channels. But I found that the TV had a USB post. So I used a flash drive and my phone as the remote to let her watch TV shows while she was stuck in bed.
They ran a shitty corrupt government, tried to conquer eastern Europe, failed, renamed themselves to "Russian Federation", and are now trying to recapture lost states while feeding people into a never ending meat grinder.
I like longer form videos, and humor of "the old Internet" so here's some channels that still make long videos that aren't filled zoomer click bait. In no particular order. This is from memory, I'm too lazy to make these into links. Also I'm sure there are others I can't think of.
Our own devices
This channel stands out because it's relatively new but it feels like a channel that should have millions of subs. Long videos about retro tech and tech history
Forgotten weapons
history of firearms. Longer format videos.
LGR
retro computers and old PC games
Gman lives
great gaming channel that reminds me of the era of TotalBiscuit. Good long videos about new and old videos games.
RedletterMedia
this channel is the Midwestern TopGear of B movie reviews.
GamersNexus
best source of PC tech news
Level1Techs
best source of general tech news and has a lot of PC gaming and tinkering content.
RegularCarReviews
funny car reviews. Format hasn't changed in over 10 years.
Second wind
new channel. The crew that made all good videos on escapist (zero punctuation) left and made their own channel to keep doing the same thing.
I've got a "father figure" who I'm not on speaking terms with. I'm in my early 30s. I am also a father. I have also tried to keep the door open and have been punished for it.
This is the part where I give you advice, but I don't really have any. You're not alone. Our generation had a large shift away from believing that respecting your parents meant that you had to do everything they said. Some people simply don't comprehend that respect must be earned. I will make sure that I deserve the respect of my child.
I guess you guys are into underage girls holding guns...
