Fine. I'll start my own library. With external storage, and ROMS.

Wait I'm already doing that.

You can have mental problems while also being an asshole.

No, we're not. It's not a coincidence that soon after occupy wallstreet the culture war was cranked up to 11. Gotta give the wealthy and the media credit. They have successfully, and quite easily turned the plebs against each other.

Once again Google finds a way to ruin a good thing. With a $150 price difference between the 8a and main 8 series, I have absolutely no reason to purchase the 8a. There was a time when the A series was half the price of the main series.

Vance is a cuck. He was a harsh critic of Trump until he wasn't.

I don't see how Vance gets Trump any extra votes. They appear to attract the same kind of people.

If they win, it gets Vance out of my state. Which is fine (I voted for Tim Ryan).

I still have no clue who this guy is, and I'm content with this lack of knowledge.

It was great before the dot com bubble burst. Even obscure fan websites had paid advertising. Even for a while after, is was great and still usable mostly because corporations hadn't yet figured out how to completely monetize the internet.

Message boards and forums were the extent of online engagement. I miss it.

While I applaud him for wanting to make room for younger politicians, I'm sure the death threats, arson attacks and bullets were greater factors. This world sucks.

Can also confirm. I was the boat.

Alternate headline: a quarter of UK parents are lazy and borderline absentee.

Gotta hand it to the politicians and the media. After that Occupy Wallstreet business, they got to work real quick turning Americans against each other. Successful.

Just curious, why were wanting to replace Mullvad?

Sure. He seems relatively harmless. Perhaps he'll share his moisturizing tips.

Yes.

I'll give you whatever answer you want in the hopes you'll go away.

It's only a bad thing when it's people I don't agree with.

I can't possibly jump this many members of congress! I won't risk it. I can jump two, maybe three, but asking me to jump this many, is asking me to risk my life.

Is it hard to bear? My overwhelming power? Its weight. Its...girth.

That's in my top 5 favorite episodes. The ending is brutal.

Yes! Trillian was awesome! I used it fairly religiously from the early to mid 00s. Combined my ICQ, Yahoo messenger, MSN messenger, and AIM. I miss that beautiful, convenient piece of software.

2015 - 2018 I pirated very, very little. Didn't need to. Between Netflix, Hulu, and HBO, I wanted for nothing. Then, every time I went to the bathroom, someone was creating their own streaming service. Suddenly everyone was pulling their IP from Netflix and Hulu. Netflix wouldn't stop raising their prices. Their original shows are ok, but their movies are terrible.

Great. Still using it until I have a good reason not to.

Based Turkey.

I'm an early gen Y. I knew maybe 4 people who had a cell phone, and only one of them could record a 30 second, shitty quality video. Kinda glad phones weren't in constant use when I was in school.

Twitter has a pretty solid metal (music) community that I've come to know and appreciate over time. We share new bands, our opinions on albums, all that good stuff.

Not everything has to be related to politics. People aren't "suspicious" because they don't share all your views.

I kinda miss having to visit individual websites to see if they posted any new content/videos. Newgrounds, Squirrelly, Homestar Runner, Stickdeath, thebestpageintheuniverse. Just going to check was part of the fun.

Given this choice, I'm confident Lemmy will double down, every time.

I did it at a baseball game on Saturday. Wore it when it got chilly. Put it around my waist when got warmer. Success.

"Opposed"

Sure.

I keep forgetting Lemmy is ok with millionaires all of a sudden.

Yeah I thought I recognized this photo.

You actually give your hard earned money to a millionaire? I'd rather burn it.

I do sub to whatever instances I want. And sometimes I go to All. It's called an observation. It's ok when people say things you disagree with.

One of my first "hacking" a device was putting Rockbox on a 4 gb Samsung MP3 player in 2010. This device wasn't meant to play/watch videos, but Rockbox unlocked that capability. It had a tiny screen, but still.

2015 - 2018 was great. I barely pirated anything. Netlifx, Hulu, HBO. Those three covered virtually all my viewing desires.

Lie when she's aching, lie when she's waking, lie when you know she's faking. Lie, sell shoes, and lie.

Gotta get those cool, Lemmy up votes. You can trade in your up votes for prizes.

Fucking lol. I love Lemmy. I've never seen such an obscure group of people speak in absolutes so consistently. Puts reddit to shame.

I have an old 1TB hard drive from 2010 that is full of these kinds of memes. Caturday, Ya rly owls, the whole works. I should stop by Fark and see how it's doing.
