Yeah, the Christ fanatics hate science and find science to be their bitter enemy, essentially

Right - first option survive the storm, next option... Murder? Steal? Pillage? (I'm stretching what you said, but it was implied). This is the very possible future we all might be living in, so again to OP's point about spiting your nose/face. Basically I find the moves of Trump to be catastrophic and the potential of where it might lead us is... Horrific
I'll take a stab at it:
- Local businesses will suffer across the board, might lead to this poor fella maybe loosing his already shit job.
-There won't be another job for him to take (see first point).
-He makes shit money so he has nothing saved up.
-social nets and government help is being systematically wiped out.
-It's the streets now, and for many others like him. Where does this lead? Massive uptick in crime, and a lot of crime everywhere. Everyone is fucked - those who currently care and those who currently don't care.
It's not like he really does anything except golfs, eats McDonald's, possibly gropes or sexually assaults young girls (some habits are hard to break - grab them by the pussy right?). He doesn't read, doesn't think - he basically signs whatever heritage foundation and his rich friends put in front of him to sign.
My guy, everything has changed and yet nothing has changed. You are arguing specifics while I'm arguing bigger picture. I'm not saying your wrong or I'm wrong, I just think we have a different view and measuring with a different kind of ruler, and yet I don't think we are really in disagreement, this seems to be arguing over semantics of what videos were in ~95 (very low res and shit quality fyi) and how many people had access to those shit quality videos - I'm just saying they were always there
It's still the same bullshit - people looking at text on their terminals. Be it SMS, be it discord, etc. people looking at images, listening to music, etc. inb4 "durr durr no 4k res in 95", no shit
I really don't know what your crusade is with this topic, but I actually do have(and still use) the same computer I had in the late 90's - SGI Indigo2 Extreme I got when I bought Alias PowerAnimator. Me and you were absolutely not doing the same stuff with our systems
My guy, wtf were you doing in the 90's on a computer? of course we didn't have streaming or just stupid useless videos that litter YouTube now, but there were video files all over the place to download and watch. For whatever reason, people were making the time and effort to digitize videos. Mpeg codecs came out in the early 90's - I specifically remember efnet irc members posting urls to mpegs of Weird Japanese vomit porn. Amiga scene was strong too, (video toaster came out in 1990...). Not really sure why you even feel the need to doubt any of this
Oh brother the Grammar nerds are here, as if that really takes away from what I'm saying.
In the mid and late 90's people knew how to make videos, they didn't link a YouTube URL but did post links to where one could find a video online, and IRC has bots that did file transfers, as well as people would use public ftp's as file dumping grounds.
I was there from the start, you must of never BBS'd or IRC'd - shit was amazing in the early days.
I mean honestly nothing has really changed - we are still at our terminals looking at text. Only real innovation has been inline pics, videos and audio. 30+ years ago one had to click a link to see that stuff
I'm sure Verizon is loving that $1m they gave away to Trump to have a multi-billion dollar deal stolen from them... The leopards are feasting fellas
Keep your filthy paws away from my boy George Lucas
I'm convinced insta knows your a guy and will blast you with reels full of chicks no matter what you do.
