I agree, but I think all intellectual property laws should be repealed. I came to the conclusion that patent, copyright, and trademark are all varying levels of bad years ago and I think it clearly holds the human race and human progress back by limiting creative iteration.

I used it a decade ago and it was my favorite distro

I took out a loan, but the service request was in my partner’s name. It’s my phone, but now I’m getting crazy crypto spam WhatsApp stuff in her name, along with home security spam and other spam I never got before. Since it’s coming to my phone, in their name, either or both companies sold me / us out and we were getting calls within days.

Poor Starbound, forgotten to the ages…

Sure, but that’s not what is happening here

US customary tips are now 22%

I miss these, they were so funny. Absolutely a meme.

I still can’t really tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps, so I run everything at 30 with higher settings. I feel like I’m winning.

Cool, but definitely not my experience growing up. You could get those prices sometimes at Wal-Mart but CDa would be edited or censored, and I grew up in an area where there were no standalone CD or Record stores, so all I saw and had access to was mall stores like Camelot Music, FYE, or Sam Goody.

The prices I’m referencing were 100% accurate for my time of reference, which was the bulk of the nineties.

Only towards the end, like literal turn of the century late 1999 into 2000 did things actually start to change.

I promise this is true.

I don’t even feel like that’s strange, I had lots of cassettes and a casette player in my car until 2015 or so

1999 CDs were typically $20 - $30 so it was actually worse. This was what you would pay at a Sam Goody, Camelot Music, FYE etc.

It wasn’t until a few years later that CD prices were cheaper. You could go to Wal-Mart and get cheaper prices, but you would be buying censored or edited albums.

I remember the Wal-Mart release of Eminem’s second album was missing the entire song of Kim for example, just completely replaced.

I think a lot of people who post about the nineties weren’t spending their own money or something, because I remember how pricey music was, and cherished each CD.

I still have some of my CDs from the nineties.
