  • We allowed tech companies to have more money than entire countries by repealing the laws that forced them to reinvest their profits. They in turn bought out supplier’s entire stock of RAM to stifle their competition and eventually remove tech ownership from the lower classes. This has nothing to do with AI and everything to do with greed.





  • I feel like every touring musician with a mostly youth audience at least up into the 2010s was taking advantage of their underage fans. It just wasn’t as big of a deal, culturally. I graduated in 2009 and had plenty of friends and classmates dating older people, and I do think it’s creepy now as an adult but the adults in our lives at the time certainly didn’t seem that bothered. The fact that some artists have been crucified over relatively benign behavior while others are still revered despite their repeated flagrant abuse of minors I think speaks more to the fan bases of those musicians than anything else. MSI and Brand New fans are more the types to hold people accountable for their actions than RHCP fans, for example.




  • It’s definitely missing Gir and the Blink-182 Self Titled album logo.

    Actually if we wanted to be pedantic, (and why else are we here?) we could argue this is too wide a spread and encompasses multiple mini-generations. For example I loved MSI and Foamy and Tenacious D, but I was already in high school when Pick of Destiny came out and likewise I hated Happy Tree Friends as I felt it was both awful and mostly for younger kids (who shouldn’t have been watching it, but it beats rotten.com and some of the other early Internet stuff they missed the boat on, but I digress…) This covers a wide spread of the early and mid to late 2000s and that doesn’t seem like much from an outside perspective but this was back when years felt a proper length.
