Sneakernet is OK, but I still prefer IPoAC.

The meter in this rhyme is terrible ๐Ÿ™„

Thank you! I still feel old, but now I don't feel bad about it ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ‘Œ

Link to source if your client, like mine, doesn't play the audio.

And apparently I'm already too old to get the reference ๐Ÿ˜“

Does remind me a tiny bit of this classic gem, though ๐Ÿ˜Š

Much better, very good detail ๐Ÿ˜…

How about 'artist's death', full stop?

Do you have any links to articles about how to use i2p?

It's pretty funny how you can't keep I/he and my/his straight in your post. And the "not mine" label is a nice touch! ๐Ÿ˜‚

I think you owe it to yourself to make this into a post on /r/amitheasshole. I have a feeling the results will surprise you.

Don't have any data to back it up, but I've been using Photoshop for 25+ years, and got the clear impression that this was 100% part of marketing; from what I gathered from friends back then, pirating Photoshop was so astonishingly simple that it seemed deliberate. If you've got the software that's the easiest to get hold of for kids and students, that's what they grow up with, that's what they know, that's what they expect to have access to in future employment situations.

Now that they've managed to pull off Subscriptions (and consequently fucking us all over by making it a legitimate business model, which instantly spread to, what, +60% of all paid software?), I'm sure they've calculated that the higher bar for gaining access to their software is more than adequately offset by the readings on the yard stick in their Scrooge McDuck money vault building(s).

And still, nobody has managed to make something that can replace their bloated, shitty software for professional users.

First one doesn't work without the comma, I think you meant "Stop killing games".

Had the exact opposite happen once โ€” playing Risk with a group of friends, one guy ends up completely dominating the board. Almost everyone is out, just him and one other person left.

Everyone wants to either start a new game or go to a pub, but he still hasn't won. We ask him several times if he's accomplished his goal yet; he hasn't.

He drags the game out by an additional 3 hours, and finally wins. Turns out he had won some 4 hours earlier, and "forgot" or "misunderstood" his objective. In reality, assholes just wanted to try to take over the whole world, and thought we wouldn't insist on seeing the objective card afterwards.

We banned him from participating in any and all games. For life. This was some 25 years ago. I haven't seen him for 10+ years, but to the best of my knowledge, nobody from that particular friend group (around 12 people) ever let him participate in any games again.

 

I make collages and word posters from vintage and retro illustrations and images in the public domain. Here's my latest piece, 'J is for Journey'.

Had a lot of fun making this one, a lot of good words that begin with J ๐Ÿ˜Š
