    Smart kids. Bitcoin is a pyramid scam anyway, don’t let all of the fancy “techy” words fool you.

      It’s a joke that the reality we’re in isn’t real. Someone like me who grew up in the 90s just woke up from a fall and all this was a dream. So we’re back in the 90s when life was simpler and we’re going back to a friend’s house to play Tony Hawk and burn music cd’s.

        It was a great time. Felt like less racism, big brother hadn’t been built, pirating was easy, cost of living was low, and the music was lit.

    I have to say that one of my biggest regrets in life is spending about 3,000 BTC on pizza. I’d be a millionaire or more if I wasn’t drunk and in my first apartment.

    I miss getting home from rugby Saturday morning jumping on my bike and going house to house knocking on the door and in the most polite voice asking if my friend could please come hangout and stay the night. Each house the party size would increase then id finally get back to my house and all my friends would crowd around a tiny TV and we’d play wwe with a multi tap, 4 player splitscreen or die tries on a single player game for like 1 or 2 hours before my mum came and told us we had had enough time in front of screens and needed to go play outside.

    Fun times

    • Convenience is a 52x disc burner which can burn a disc in less than a minute

      Wisdom is burning at 1x anyway because it results in a higher quality burn

      (this may not apply to burning music, I usually burn PSX games)

          Well acshually… anything above 6x wasn’t actually what it said on the tin. CD data starts from the inside ring, and there’s a physical limit to how fast you can spin a plastic plate before it tears itself apart. So you only got the full 52x speed at the very last part of the burn on the outer ring, and even then only if you filled the whole disk.

        That’s why Trump’s smart - he knows that the American people are fine with invasions without any explanation at all!

    Oh would I looooove that! I’d 100% bully my own father, just show up to my current job as soon as I can legaly work, maybe even extra-legaly, farm the dumb kids for social points and write down my observations, get absurdly buff, and obviously rich.

      Saw them at a festival a couple of years back. They know they’re a bit cheesy and play into it, but they’re a tight band and can still smash out all their hits.

      Now, the fact that the festival could hardly afford anyone else because Filth were headlining, that was a problem, but it did mean that a few lesser-known bands got to play a decent set, so it’s all good I suppose.

        Baggy pants would be one thing, but the kids around here are wearing these gigantic jeans that are somehow the perfect length to not crinkle up anywhere, making them look like they just have super thick cylindrical legs. Honestly, it’s pretty unique and I kinda like the look.

        (I couldn’t even find a good image online of what I mean because I don’t know the word for it, but this is the closest approximation. Imagine the jeans were stiffer and straighter though, absolutely zero wrinkles)

          Weird. I never got fashion trends. Then again, when I was the age the boys above are I looked more or less the same as them, only fatter. Absolutely hideous :D

            The kid on the right looks fine.

            The one in the middle just needs to do something with the hair. sure he’s got a lot bracelets, and his pants are too long, but he’ll trip over them enough to eventually figure it out.

            The left one went a bit far the with pointless chain, but that his taste not mine, so whatever. But the again the hair is bad. I’m not saying it’s got to be neatly flat or something, but but some effort into it, throw in some actuall spikes, or a mowhak or anything really. Bed head ain’t it. The kid on the right, he takes care of his hair.

    These kids work in accounting, sales, and one is in jail.

    I’ll let you figure out who went where.
