  At my local video club I waited in line while they were bootleg recording The Matrix. First one out the store with the tape. I memorized every line in that movie in 1999.

  Reddit has been a an archive of some of the greatest collective minds of humanity. Besides the general algorithm up voting bots hogwash, there have been some really good subreddits with excellent information from learned professionals on topics. it I wish it was preserved rather than deleted. The AskHistorians is one of my favourite professional vetted and clean subreddits, lots of academic discussions there.

  But all things have a Golden Era, and then it’s enshittified and fades away. As Lemmy will be one day too.

  Yes but the “American Dream” was never that. It was always to get richer than everyone else and so I can just say fuck 'em to the plight of the rest. Or in alternative terms, it only concerns me when it actually directly affects me.

  I believe the results of the last election and the ensuing “executive orders” actions are direct proof of that. Also it was proof of the large stupidity of the masses, something the Covid years exposed, but was directly proved in the election results. It was just a matter of time before a high level professional conman was so brazen about it.

  I think Toyota and Honda… maybe somebody else was developing a Hydrogen cell car. I remember seeing James May on Top Gear talking about it and driving it. It was in California. It seemed really promising and very exciting at the time that’s why the memory imprinted on me a bit.

  I always imagined that portable future wizard (??nuclear??) power would be as simple as unscrewing a 5 gallon cannister from the back of a vehicle and exchanging it at the power/charging station for money. Like the small 20 lb LPG cooking gas tanks. I still think that electric cars are a phase of tech that cannot be sustainable in terms of money and environmental cost and waste for too long and that it is just transitional in our quest. Hydrogen power was always supposed to be the future in my mind.

  This is about real estate value for the next commercial renter if a franchise fails. Cheaper costs for corporate too.
