  • What’s a thing you miss that you’re 90% sure was objectively awful?

  • People remember Service Pack 2 as the definitive version. Base and Service Pack 1 XP was awful.

    Service Pack 3 refined it a bit better.

  • I can't ever look or taste a little caesar's pizza the same way again. The last time I had one was back in 2018 and they tasted so dry and you get maybe three seconds of pizza before it is all just dryness mushing together. Definitely was better as a kid.

  • 1990s internet. Yeah it had to start somewhere and a lot of them were butt-ugly for design. Now 2000s internet up until roughly 2009, that's the shit.

  • Is there any way to bring back a section of the Internet to those of us who want it to stay in the 2003-2010 and before era?

  • DeviantArt chat rooms are surprisingly still around and they're IRC-based in a way. DeviantArt just tucked them away and you have to know the address to get to them. Not a lot of rooms though left since sometime ago, they were all killed off.

  • McDonald’s Blames Trump ‘Uncertainty’ for Worst Sales Since COVID

    Jump

  • No, let these corps blame Trump for everything. It's better than them looking at the customers and wondering why they aren't buying shit.

    I never thought I'd see a day where Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, McDonalds and I think someone else actually looking at the right person at fault. Because that's where their problems are.

  • You're really asking for a lot here.

    There are some comments here that are pointing to sources that make you feel like you're on the old net. But that's all that they're good for, is to give you the idea and feel of what it was like then, but you're going off of someone's personal memory of what they remembered about the old net. My memories of the old net differ slightly and I've been around for nearly 30 years online. So my experience was different and therefore, I can't 100% relate with everything those sources put out although there's no argument on whether or not they exist because they did.

    But as for like for everything to be back as it was? Sorry but the spirit is long gone and it's just a matter of you having to be there at the time and cherish what you remember. Such is the stage I've been in for a while now because today's internet is fucking awful and has been awful for a few years.

    Reminder: In addition to not being The Onion, this isn't a politics community

    Jump

  • People just have a very poor sense of organization or proper placement. I feel a lot of the political doom and gloom posts are from those who feel like not "enough" is talked about something, when it apparently already is, so they throw it here.

    But for a while now, yeah it's tiresome to try and turn every single thing into another political box.

  • Why did we stop using Firefox?

    Jump

  • I stopped using Firefox for four core reasons:

    Their investment into AI How they submit and work with their Google overlords to some degree Their browser putting in more and more unnecessary and unasked features (like Firefox account for one) Their Terms of Service

  • We'll see if it even stand the test of time, how it takes on weather .etc

  • List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs

    Jump

  • But that's what makes GIMP special. There's some users who feel that Photoshop has stopped being relevant for some uses among those users. GIMP may be a decade behind but it could be swimming in what people remembered best about Photoshop before its enshittification and retains that kind of nature.

  • That's why I call the Super Bowl the Commercial Bowl. It's one of the American's biggest hypocrisies. We bitch and gripe about seeing so many ads and commercials, but we take one day out of the year to focus on one sports event that are now primarily known for commercials, trailers and reveals.

    AND THEN WE GO BACK TO BITCHING ABOUT COMMERCIALS THE NEXT FUCKING DAY! THIS IS WHY WE WILL ALWAYS SEE TONS OF COMMERCIALS AND ADS!

  • Golf is offensively boring, because it is such an elitist sport, takes way too much land to even play, we're talking multiple football fields and stadiums here. The only appeal it attracts are just richie losers with boring personalities, older people and just plain elitist people. The only time Golf got even remotely interesting, was when Tiger Wood was playing. But since that era is long and gone, it is straight back to the basics.

    Honorable mentions:

    Racing - All of it. I don't care if it's Nascar, Formula 1, Truck Series .etc You are essentially watching people go around and around any track. All the while, corporate sponsorships galore, everything is a walking living billboard for so many sponsored companies trying to remind you what to buy or subscribe.

    Poker - I loathed the days when sports networks decided, even ESPN for a while, to broadcast Poker events. Just watching a bunch of random gamblers, at a table, playing cards, for hours. What a productive event to broadcast...

    The Kentucky Derby - Predates vehicular racing, only with horses and not as much sponsorship. It's just another venue to gamble at and disgusts me it is over the lives of horses.

    All Olympic Events - The only things the Olympics are currently famous for, are what's going on around it politically and whether there's controversy. It has lost a lot of relevance and importance for decades now.

  • Top Trump adviser struggled to soothe investors in talks after market tumult

    Jump

  • This administration was established for one goal and one goal only - destroy shit. They're doing that with tremendous success.

    Asking for anything else is obviously out of their depth, every single one of them.

  • Despite Trump's promised cuts, U.S. spent about $220 billion more in first 100 days than last year

    Jump

  • Yeah because it's probably going into the pockets of his nazi friends.

  • Man I get a little tense when I see thousands of jobs cut at a time.

    That's a lot of people to compete with in the job market and a lot more people who're now struggling to compete with the other thousands who lost their jobs.

    BUT 'EM PROFITS!!!

  • Ripped pants

    Jump

  • So you defend what is otherwise marketable trash? Wow, so cool...

    How about you go and make rips and tears in every single pair of pants you have and see how you feel afterwards.
