Same thing happened with cable decades ago.

The public TV was full of ads and bad programs. Cable offered you pay them for no ads, good series and new movies. Then the prices rose, then the ads started, then the programs turned to shit as much or even more than before.

Streaming just went the same path.

Didn't see it in the thread, but aqueduct are pretty fire. They allowed empires to grow large and far away from a source of drinking water. Also improved sanitation allowing people to live longer and healthier.

I used a browser extension exactly for this when I still used Twitter. Best thing ever. Then manbaby bought Twitter and it's gone to shit.

 

Kind of in response to an earlier post in here about trailers that spoil everything, I think it is easier nowadays to count how many didn't spoil everything.

Basically all mainstream ones since the 2000s. Nowadays I skip trailers entirely to not spoil the movies for me.

But will it give me a card with my opponent in scantily clad clothing if I win?

From my very small knowledge, yes, beer was consumed at room temperature. In Germany it still is, for example. Also, beer had less alcohol and was much more like bread in that it was nutritious and filling than what we have now.

Your comment made me really nostalgic for the days of setting up pan parties, configuring hamachi servers, etc. Good old days
