I remember early YouTube, but that was years after I was playing with Photoshop and throwing up pics on AOL chat rooms. I even still talk to a girl I met on there nearly 30 years ago.

Holy shit. I never knew teletype ever became a civilian technology. I only know of it from my military training. Though it was old technology by the time we trained on it.
You’re still young if youtube already existed in your first memories of the internet.
CompuServe was a large part of the lack of parenting I received during the 90s. 3-5 hours a night, plus work/school and sleep means I didn’t see my mom much for more than a decade.
Everything they don’t understand (which is nearly everything) is either God or fraud. Do with that information what you will.
I read it more as a lovers thing, like melonia, without the m. And trump and Elon as lovers seems about right, but it’s one of those scary trailer relationships. Like, who’s addiction will make who kill the other first? It would truly be some of the sickest dark fiction on HBO. Sadly it’s on bbc, ap, NYT, WSJ, etc. etc.
Most hybrids do not produce fertile seeds. You can test it out if you want but it doesn’t work. I used to work for a seed company. Beyond that, without fertilizer the soil itself is dead in the vast majority of farming land.
Yeah, except the vast majority of seeds are infertile, meaning they can’t be replanted, means the “good ol boys” can’t survive.
Kind of, me and the other commo guys used a Morse code network to talk shit about our leadership in Iraq. Even when they were in the room, using ancient US military tech.
If that gets stuck in my head I’m gonna be so fucking mad.
Had a science teacher back in middle school that claimed to have a buddy that “designed” a way to make gas engines more efficient by running the gas line over the engine to warm it up before entering the engine. Said that GM bought the “design” with no patent, and hid it away so that it wouldn’t get out. Problem is, that’s not how BTUs work and GM would obviously know that. Also that’s a good way to destroy your engine by misfiring.
I agree, but maybe leave the industry?
Sounds more like a roundabout way for the server or bartender to steal from the company.
Smell is the strongest sense tied to memory.
Exactly. I feel bad about shit from 30+ years ago. I stole a sucker when I was like 5 or 6, and that part was easy. Enjoying it was not. It was a sucker. Like $.25 at the time or something. But it wasn’t about the money, it was that I did a wrong thing and haven’t stolen anything since. Pirating feels different since it’s not a physical object. Also, if one pirates stuff that’s good enough, I’m likely to buy.
Another thing was when I was like 7 or 8, we were in PE and running sprints and I pretended to be so worn out I was about to collapse, and pantsed a kid. I didn’t even dislike the him. I honestly didn’t know why I did it. I just did something wrong and I feel way more bad about it than the offense itself. I wish I could apologize to him but don’t remember his last name, and I feel like I wouldn’t deserve being let off the hook anyway.
This moral auditing is what makes me a much better person today. Unfortunately not everybody has a moral auditing department in them.
I just told my kid about this after he hit a kid with a rock inside a snowball. Bad shit you do will haunt you forever. Oddly enough, your conscience is the best reason to be a good person. I mean, other than lawful consequences if its bad enough.
The US military is shrinking and getting more inept every year with lowered physical and aptitude standards. So at least there’s that.
Early CompuServe. I don’t remember the exact timeframe but it was rather early. The first time I enjoyed the internet? Probably unreal tournament in 99. Me and my friends used to play and listen to Korn, Rammstein, limp Bizkit, P.O.D., slipknot, static-x, rage against the machine, etc. whoever was last in GoldenEye, played unreal until they came back in again.
