Acquire property to call my own for one. This renting thing is getting real old. Something to leave my kid other than a busted up old car would be nice.
Edit: Hey, looks like zoomers and old millennials aren't so different after all. They're right. The fuckin' boomers took it all.
30 will be here a lot quicker than you think. I also used to think 30 was old AF when I was 20.
Now I'm 41 and I don't know how it happened so goddamn fast. Every year, I get more and more anxious about trying to get shit done before my time comes.
Oh, funny you mention that, because in my country, my government paid to have fiber laid but the useless bloodsucking capitalist ISPs didn't do absolutely jack shit with the money and pocketed it. That's why were having to do stupid shit like Starlink now to connect the people out in the sticks.
Would be kind of hard to play a game that didn’t get published by the evil capitalist lol
I've played about a dozen versions of Tetris over the last 30 years, a lot of which were written by just one dude and released to the world without the expectation of compensation. There are literally hundreds of ports/clones that run on everything from a Nokia phone to a Unix/Linux text mode interface.
Were it not for western publishers, I'm pretty sure it would have spread anyway just due to its addictive nature and it being an excellent time sink. Just like chess and checkers didn't need a capitalist to spread around the globe.
I'm literally using an entire operating system right now that not one capitalist controls. It runs most of the internet's infrastructure. Sure, the capitalists can use it and even contribute, but they don't get to dictate how you run your system.
I'm not sure, my Dad is a 50s kid and he always complained that shit went downhill in the 80s. He displayed absolutely no interest in the media of the decade, the culture, music, or whatever, and probably felt very out of place. I don't feel the same way. I am just as comfortable with the world now as I was back then.
Yeah, the biggest delineation is "world without computers and digital electronics" vs. the world after all that proliferated. I'd still consider the 80s and 90s part of the "modern" era, what we used to call the "information age" or "computer revolution".
Pretty much all our modern tech is just more advanced versions of the same shit we already had in the 80s. Even social media (BBSs).
Oldest developer trick in the book. Program in a bunch of useless delays everywhere. On the next few updates, slowly remove them and say you are "improving" the system.
Everybody in here does all this crazy shit with their system. I just wanna use my computer, man. I cruise on defaults all day long. I barely even bother changing the DE's default wallpaper.
