30 years after I get my first AOL disk, reddit cancels itself and I’m back getting news about Osama’s killer from AOL.
I used to take handfuls of those discs from blockbuster and use them as frisbees in my living room
Today I learned AOL still exists.
Most people forgot about them shortly after they stopped making free frisbees.
I still have AOL 3.5 inch floppies as mementos.
Also some of us cheap-asses would tape over the write-protect hole and use them as free floppy disks.
I collected hundreds and glued them to my ceiling to make a disco mirror. It was epic lol
Wait till you learn about Netscape
I learned about my first hurricane of 2023 from Netscape 🤨
Yahoo, too, is still out there and pumping out news stories and such.
Yahoo is aol now, isn’t it? Or aol is yahoo?
I only know Aol. got sold to “Apollo Global Management” after Verizon media destroyed it.
I mean to be fair assault and public intox are about what i’d expect out of most military vets. It isn’t like the VA’s giving them good mental health assistance after they return home.

There are many traumatized combat troops out there, but most find help (despite the VA) and live lives out of the spotlight.

Well, he is a SEAL…
Because all SEALs are assholes?
No, but the news has showed us plenty of times they’re fully capable of recruiting the worst of the country
Most of them are
I’ve noticed quite a bit of information posted from sources i don’t really recognize. I usually try to find an AP article if i can since most outlets are just quoting them anyway.
Edit: people seem to think recognize = aware of. I don’t recognize AOL as a news source.
If you’ve never heard of aol.com, it’s probably older than you are.
Never heard of it, let me AskJeeves it
I’ll just fire up Netscape Navigator
I don’t recognize AOL as a “news” outlet.
Wait have you not heard about AOL??
You’ve got male pattern baldness.
No u
Please tell me this is satire.
I’m not a fashionista or anything, but someone should be arrested for the tailoring of that suit. Good God.
Tailored like a fresh paper bag. I dunno man there’s a weird trump ideation that made baggy ill fitting rack suits in vouge for a certain sect of people.
And he used the N-word. What a colossal shithead.
