I own a couple actual vintage arcade machines and paid less for them than this. If you shop around you can find deals.

I also have one of these 1up cabs and it is definitely not like vintage. Software may be the same but it is using a modern monitor not a CRT. I think I paid around 300 for it several years ago. Not full size.

I am sure some farmers are rich.

I am also sure that farmers, like almost any other large group, have a wide range of incomes.

Wealthy white men from rural areas

Farmers?

Fuckin SHUT UP!

We don’t want to give those MS assholes ANY ideas.

Degoogle instead.

Cool, thanks. $5 -$6 / month is cheap.

I’ll bite. What is frugal Usenet?

I’ve always been pretty bad at Tetris. This video was very engaging and entertaining. It tells a great story.

DOT MATRIX WITH STEREO SOUND

Yes, I think many people think otherwise, even in tech. To many “the cloud” is some sort of magical, mystical place data can go. And companies selling cloud services perpetuate the myth.

This is a revelation to many people.

What if I told you “the cloud” is just someone else’s computer.

Consumers are getting fucked. Media companies will continue to make it worse while trying to improve their bottom line. How long until it is all pay per view at sky high prices that only keep going up?

I try to own my media in physical form as much as possible. But I don’t think it will be long until physical is not an available format. Or unaffordable, like vinyl is now.

We should have resisted and stopped the DMCA. We should stop all media being rental only. But we do not resist, we comply. We bend over and get fucked like the sheeple we are.

Until consumers take control of their government they will continue to take it up the ass from corporations. They count on you to comply.

I imagine the answer to this depends greatly on when a person became blind. I assume you’re asking about people blind since birth, but that’s not all blind people.

Yes

When viewed from an environmental perspective, these falling birth rates are GREAT news. More so in first world countries.

Interesting.

I was thinking along the lines of eharmony where (I think?) everyone pays to play. I understand the ploy you describe exists and I do want to avoid that shit.

Probably. Valid point.

Thanks. I’ve done it before and you are correct, there are some real assholes out there. I might get better results if I pony up some cash for a site or service.

I have been thinking about trying online dating again. Not really looking forward to it because I expect it to be a mess.

I think I’ll try a very minimalist approach on my profile because most people read profiles looking for reasons to reject. If I don’t give many possible reasons to reject then I should increase the pool of people to date. In theory, anyway.

Sweet summer child. It was a thing.
