I remember having a cd player with a skip buffer in it. Still didn’t really work for running like you’re saying but at least I could bounce around on the bus to and from school without it constantly skipping.

I’m old enough to remember people lying that compact discs were practically indestructible.

I think the early rounds of those trying to get people to switch to the format were motivated by the fact that tapes were easily recordable by everyone.

It’s almost like…one is the leader of the richest country in the world and the other is running a government office that’s dismantling the government.

Seriously, if you guys were alive in the 1930s or 1940s you’d be there like “I just can’t pick up the paper anymore without talk of this Hitler guy!”.

If you limit yourself exclusively to communities where the “no politics” rule is actually enforced, you’ll exhaust new content within about two minutes each day.

It’s almost like US politics are a historic fucking shit show and that affects many other things.
