  • Every single generation in the past 100 years has said the same thing. “My generation will fix it when we’re in charge”.

    The God Damn boomers were the hippies from the 60s. What the fuck happened to peace and love?

    My generation (Gen X), my goodness, we could see through all the bullshit. We’re the original centrists.

    Every single one of my children’s Gen Z friends are all so woke they never sleep.

    Turns out every generation is full of selfish shortsighted dumbasses just like the one before it. Just like “The Greatest Generation”. Just like the boomers. Just like Gen X.

    Faith in humanity…fading







  • It’s always been hypocrisy. The media companies only say what part you actually own based whatever is most profitable to them.

    Technically, back in the day, when you bought any music wether it be 8-track, LP, cassette, or CD, you were purchasing a single-user license for the music and the media was just how the record companies delivered it to you. That’s why Napster and all the piracy that followed it was/is illegal, because you don’t own a license when you copy the digital file.

    HOWEVER… Over the many decades I’ve been alive I’ve scratched, twisted, demagnetized, or just plain old lost hundreds of LPs, cassettes, and CDs. Do you think if I requested a new copy of the music that the record companies would send me a replacement?

    No, they would not. So I obtained digital replacements by…other means.

    Now that we’re all used to digital copies, suddenly that’s been the important part all along.
