“Hark, Alfred, the smith’s apprentice, was taken by the plague - find your goodfellows and see if any of their sons of the working age would wish gainful employment to a kind master.”
Man, I always forget the big foot fungus plague of '05. So many corpses, littering the streets…
Dude, 2020 wasn’t that long ago!
“I wish no one would assassinate billionaires.”
“Damn, Cindy Crawford is hot!”
Go ahead, look up photos of her now, age isn’t doing her former beauty very well…
She’s almost 59 years old, and looks damn good for her age.
I did, and I would still say that. You wouldn’t happen to have her confused with Rep. Cindy Crawford, the Arkansas politician?
If you’re looking at the Wikipedia article, that photo was from like a decade ago. Age is catching up with her…
That’s the problem with beauty isn’t permanent. It happens to everyone from Madonna, Dick Van Dyke and Lynn Neilson. This doesn’t apply to everyone tho. Tom Cruise, Scarlett Johansson and Dewayne “The Rock” Johnson have manage to be exceptions to this rule although it’s much easier for men to do. In general women aren’t really allowed to age. Even if there looks aren’t important. I remember when the election was happening and people were dunking on Kamara Harris for having wrinkles like she isn’t a woman in her 60’s.
For some people looking good is literally their job and cost is no object when you’re rich.
There’s also a non-financial cost to keeping up with beauty standards via plastic surgery. Madonna is a perfect example. As soon as someone gets a facelift the ageing-clock speeds up and repeated lifts have diminishing returns until a person is left with an unexpressive piece of pleather for a face. Michael Jackson’s nose was also a good example of such issues.
Yeah but the cost to not looking like you’re aging is going from descending a hill to falling off a cliff and landing much lower
I was looking at Insta posts from August. Difference of opinion, I guess.
2024 photo. I still wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers.
“Could you please not use the phone? Gotta dial up to connect to the BBS”
Believe it or not, I recently have to script transferring files to and from a BBS. Got to love working with state governments.
It’s more secure than uploading to AWS 🤷♂️
I still love telnet.
I’m trying to start x-wing. Can you tell me the third letter of the fourth word of page 57?
What is this?
Anti-piracy technique for the game X-Wing: the game was 15 floppies which could easily be copied, so it required a copy of the manual present to start.
Haha. That’s a good one. Don’t think I ever heard of that.
“Sorry, I got to return this video”
You say that, although it’s pretty close to the recurring joke in American Psycho, so if you’re lenient this kind of sentence was said in this comm only days ago. https://lemmy.ml/post/24140732/15784014
Try cleaning your mouse ball, see if that helps.
“Disco will never die.”
And it never did. *sips beer*
“I’ll ask Jeeves.”
“Phil Hartman guest stars in…”
“What format is that floppy?”
“I bought a Beanie Baby price book.”
FFS, why did you make me think of floppies that weren’t FAT?
Oh god, and the extra __MACOSX folders everywhere.
Oh no. You’ve brought back memories I don’t want to think about it.
I started screening my phone calls.
I’m looking forward to Matt Groenig’s new show.
Disenchanted probably had that response
I remain unconvinced.

2004 is when the Blockbuster video rental chain was at its peak (cite), and VHS was still in wide use at the time having only been surpassed by DVD rentals a year earlier. Speed dial was also still a thing then, payphones still exist today, and, although complaints were filed against Bill Cosby much earlier the public wasn’t widely aware of them until 2014.
How about “John Kerry is the candidate who can prevent a second Bush term” ?
It’s weird how slow things really are. In 2006 you could have rented a VHS from blockbuster and gone home and upload it to YouTube.

I think you’ll still need specialized equipment to hookup a VHS machine to a computer and digitize it.
Nope. RCA > S-Video, HDMI, or FireWire. Any of the three would have worked at the time. And many VCRs had either HDMI, VGA, or S-Video out.
Yeah I got my first mobile phone in 2004 and it was one of the Nokia’s, 3310 probably. We definitely still had a landline with speed dial and absolutely did not have streaming. Definitely still had VHS, probably got our first DVD player the year before but still used both.
Have you heard of the Information superhighway?
“Will that be smoking or non smoking?” Asked as a restaurant
“I think you flooded it” in relation to a car not starting. (well unless you work on very old cars)
“I got it off Napster”
“want to listen to my mix tape?”
“I can burn you a CD of that”

I was asked this at a café less than ten minutes ago now.
