Been boycotting a few of those since their inception and the others for 15 + years. I talk with people about how bad walmart,target , Amazon are for our area and local business when they opine about the “good old days” and they say " wow, yeah your right , wow . But I can order a charger for my cell phone and have it at my door tomorrow".

Most people are just receivers for advertising at this point. It’s scary

,

Relax , your anxious feelings are understandable but we will continue to provide the best television experience the world has ever seen.

Faster I said !

God bless those European MF’rs

That might work if the fine was say $1.5 B

Mini disc is what i always heard. Nobody knows what the hell they are anyway

I found a VHS player at a second hand shop and got into buying and watching VHS before the pandemic and it was actually relaxing. Even with DVD/Blu ray I can’t get as immersed as I was with watching VHS. I would know that at night I was going to watch D.A.R.Y.L and just kick back and not get off the couch. It was a whole thing…power surge fried my player and haven’t found another one yet

Physical media is the way

Zen mind, Beginners mind

Do you have 🗿 here?

I’m a little older and while all my buddies were on the internet in the early days it didn’t interest me but I was well aware of how it functioned.

I was a reddit lurker back when it was cool and a place to gain knowledge (depending on the sub) then a few years back finally becoming a user until the last couple years seeing it really go down hill fast turning into a typical " social media platform"

Leemy gives me a sense of nostalgia for something I missed out on in the past. …And I don’t feel like an asshole scrolling in my spare time

Thanks for the links ! Good info for a newbie like me ✌️

Heck yeah analog is cool ! Once I realized there were several editions I began a quest to get them all. I’m a hoarder.

That is amazing what those apps can do . Friends have the plant and constellation identifiers and they are fun to mess with. They scare me though 🤣

Happy Ishtar !

I mean happy Easter not the pagan orgy holiday represented by eggs and rabbits etc that we all participate in for some reason

I have not , my sister has an app like that , possibly the same one , I’ll have to ask her about it.

My father is pretty good with bird identification and would always point them out on walks in the woods.

I got hooked on field guides after getting a few as a kid for birthdays etc. I’ve collected several editions of Petersons and National Audubon field guides . I highly recommend both . NA has actual pictures but Peterson’s have rendered images of the birds in flight, their seasonal plumage and are a bit more comprehensive .

That would have been a memorable experience ! Nature kicks ass ! I too am a fan of blue birds of all kinds. Im lucky enough to have dozens of bluebirds, quite a few indigo bunting and a whole mess of Bluejays flying around my home. A few other notable birds I get to see regularly are piliated woodpeckers ( the big woody woodpecker types) , yellow flickers and my personal favorite ( which really arent that special but theyre my #1 for their personality alone) the Carolina wren.

Wish I wouldn’t have seen the blue shitbird though

No

I was looking at a car this guy was selling , we’re standing there talking about a price and this amazing blue dove lands a few feet away. It’s was fucking saphire blue.

The guy selling the car looks at me and says “wooooah I’ve never seen a blue bird like that before”. He was blown away.

I said “are you sure buddy because there’s a port a John business right around the corner and that bird has been swimming in one of the shit houses”

I did not buy the car

Thanks I’m going to check them out now. Appreciate the time ✌️
