Being older than YouTube should count for something... some weeks ago I was remembering sending e-mail from this powerhouse.Quote:

Yeah, you're like ancient with the plastic electronic computer thingy.
I remember my Aunt having one of these with a party line.

Granted, where she lived was extremely remote. My young brain could tell it was remote because there were more bears than people.
2024 is off to a good start... first chuckles (at least for me) are rolling in off of this thread already! :happy:

Happy New Year :yay:
PS. Can you remember what the world looked like then?? Or at least if there was any actual Transgender Bears then that stole your porridge??
And i assume you can't call them "Black Bears" anymore :idunno:
Call waiting was you waited for a call.

Phone cords could get you ten feet away from the base, and they came in colors other than black.
Phones were hard-wired - when phone jacks hit the market my Dad wired them into evey room.
I remember talking to my 7th-grade girlfriend while I was taking a shit...:lol:
No complaints about them here.Quote:

Unicorns are racist because white is consider a symbol of purity and black unicorns are the ones that have been tainted by demons. Brides are also racist. Anime on the other hand is just ghey.
Let's not get started on bicorns...Quote:

You're describing pirates.
No, pirates are the ones who post on Reddit about storing dozens of terabytes of stuff they'll never watch! It's like you're trying to pull my (non-peg) leg here :dry:
I don't post on Reddit.Quote:

It's called storage for a reason, but I manage to watch/burn this and that.
I can't bend over far enough to pull anyone's leg.
So-
Not a pirate.
Fair enough, yarr. I had more than you, until a hard disk crash three years ago and the very costly (but fortunately 90% successful) data recovery job that followed made me reevaluate this. Now I aim to have less data, not more :chris:
Because you bought it at a store?Quote:

Just having started to watch 4K movies... for some reason, I found that oddly funny. :DQuote:

whenever i decide my CSS and Premiere Pro need another refresh, I also find out the trackers I signed up to get them the last time around have been disabled again for inactivity.
I download movies still but I put them on a USB flash drive and play them through my Nvidia Shield TV. Afterward, I just delete it. I have never kept what I download for long term use.
I used to download anything interesting "just in case" and archive most of it after watching, but now I do the same as you. Still have quite a bit of stuff from before this paradigm shift, maybe one day I'll finally catch up :blink:
I never saved them but, I used to burn the ISOs to DVDs and I had towers of movies on disc. Then suddenly, BluRay became popular and shortly after, 4K. I started looking at my big 4K TV and those 720 DVDs and was like, wtf am I doing? I trashed them all and never looked back. If I want to watch something again I'll redownload it or just see if it's available somewhere with justwatch.com. Or pay $4 to rent it if we don't want to wait.

I have a heap of floppy disks I also plan to trash at one point, but not without checking what's inside first...
So... Purely for scientific research purposes, of course, but if one wanted to check out those Taylor Swift deepfakes and if one does not have an X account... where would one possibly get a hold of said pictures?
Asking for a friend.
Tell your friend and the media they aren't missing anything that hasn't been uploaded to E-Hentai a couple dozen times already.
Why you look down on japan ?
