I get your point but you're also kinda arguing in bad faith. I don't think anyone will dispute the noise to quality ratios, but you're misrepresenting the point of the original post while simultaneously proving it. The barrier to information is almost non-existent in the modern age, making the pursuit of those fancies plausible.

If I want to know the history of the band Smash mouth I can look that up in literal seconds. Or if I want to know how to bake a souffle. Or if I want to find schematics for an exhaust fan.

Travel back to the 90s. Pick any subject. Step 1 to learning more about that subject involves travel and the juice is suddenly no longer worth the squeeze.

I love books as much as the next guy, but let's not pretend that they are even remotely comparable to the Internet in regards to information access. My family had an Encyclopedia Britannica, they were great for summary on certain subjects but they were far from exhaustive.

It's uncanny that they managed to gut the national weather service the same year that we have had the strangest summer weather i can remember. There have been days this July that have been downright pleasant. I was too cold in the pool a couple days ago. Weird in Texas.

This is exactly the point that I gave up at like 15 years ago. Just let it go.

I'm so scared that you're right. I have been sitting here watching the "don't let games die" movement just explode with support in what feels like a week and feeling bittersweet about it. I'm really happy that the movement is getting so much attention, but in contrast https://generalstrikeus.com/ has slowly crept up 100,000 new signatures in the months since I became aware of it.

It's depressing that something so important can't even approach the movement that keeping old video games around already has.

Honestly it's hard to even get in the mood. Everything related to the 4th this year feels like satire.

His wife is getting fucked and he's asking for more. 'Round these parts we call that a cuck.

The news is that it did in fact work. You may think it's very clever to point out the obvious effect, but stupid people (republicans) need to hear over and over again that these programs have a positive effect and aren't just intended to impinge on their freedumbs.

It's very likely that a gondola can actually hold double the weight it is rated for.

Please no. I like my flannel.
