From memory, I think that was ironic. Someone was copying Hamas's shitty behavior, so they hoped Hamas sued them for copyright infringement. Thanks for at least admitting you misread me. One thing that has not changed from the beforetimes is hasty generalizations.

People who play snes still and complain about new nintendo graphics need help. Small studios do better work now. Theyre keeping it like the beforetimes.

i'm been saying this forever... Beforetimes: hire contractor for $3k to make an app. If it found market fit, you'd pay for ongoing maintainence Now: same thing, just that upfront cost dropped to ~$300

Good to remember that in the beforetimes people didn't need to read books about any of this. They just killed invaders and knew.

In the BeforeTimes, Pat Sajak shows off the new Series 1990 twenty-dollar bill on Wheel of Fortune in 1992.

back in the beforetimes they'd send you a paper bill through the mail, and I was going to call and request one, but I haven't written a check since Obama sold my bank to Wells Fargo in 2008 (my checks all say Wachovia)

The very notion of a “middle ground” is so outdated. It relies on the left and the right being in dialogue with each other, such that a middle ground can be found. Moderate politics are a relic of the beforetimes. Now, the only choice to make is to be tactical or passive
Moderate Republicans in Texas are going through it tonight. A Texas GOP staffer texted me, “As a moderate Republican, I have no place in this party anymore.” “There is no middle ground. No room for moderates. Only far right or far left.”

We really have no clue just how different our country looked like in the beforetimes.

Women’s Studies professor: White people are corrupt. As a woman w/a degree in Women’s Studies from the beforetimes, this HAS always been the message. This is what I was taught at UC Berkeley a long time ago.
🚨 Do you enjoy funding racist professors at Rutgers University? No? Well, our Department of Education does. This pillar of knowledge is Professor Brittney Cooper, an intellectual luminary in their Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Department. Our Department of Education shoved $518 MILLION into the sweaty hands of this campus last year. The result is an unhinged rant against white Americans who need to be “taken out.” We’re being fleeced for this garbage. @EDSecMcMahon @StephenM H/T @travelingflying

It only takes a very small percentage of a society to ruin it. In the beforetimes that small percentage would've been in the stocks or in jail. They would be pariahs deserving of exile. Today we invite them to come here and we give them protections above the common person.

I don't agree this is necessarily a negative, either. Not to deny there could be a very unsatisfying situation, but there could also be cases where it's simply bittersweet. On the other hand, a birdwatcher can appreciate whatever their efforts in tracking the bird down and whatever their passion for birds is, the bird is still going to fly away if they try and get too close. Of course, isn't this an unfair comparison? A domestic fan can take all this for granted and they don't need to consider comparisons like this. I'd say it's different because they're 'part of the ecosystem'. Anyone should be able to admit the enjoyment of music is at least partly a shared, social experience. You can of course enjoy music in isolation, but there is undeniably a reward in getting to share it – whether it's a conversation with a friend, coworker, or stranger and whether it's at the concern or in a chatroom, in a cafe, in a class, at work, whatever. However, it's inevitably easier for someone to enjoy and get to more directly participate in their domestic music scene. I think there's every potential for an interesting conversation about why certain people are drawn to overseas music and entertainment industries rather than domestic ones. What sort of person is this? What are their expectations? What are their tendencies? The answers used to be similar across this group. However, particularly over the last 5 years or so, it feels like there's a new group of people who are interested in overseas entertainment industries, and their personality, expectations, and tendencies are quite different. It's impossible for someone like myself who was 'around in the beforetimes' to not read these people as disruptive. In the pure dictionary definition of the word – i.e. even as a descriptor rather than a pejorative – it's fine. They are different from what came before, and they are literally disrupting the status quo. However, they're not excited or intentionally doing this, they're genuinely upset a foreign industry is not exactly to their liking. Where I struggle to understand things is when I notice that 'their liking' is already catered to, and therefore presumably could be satisfied their domestic entertainment industries. I imagine this as if there was someone who lived next to a McDonald's drove 20 miles to a sushi bar and demanded to know why they wouldn't serve them a Big Mac. What drove them to make that drive in the first place? I'm utterly perplexed by it.

critical. the likelihood of pre-2010 movies being adjusted 'for Modern audiences' is very high. To see such 'authentic' classics from the beforetimes, One needs to invest now.. soon streaming will have 'modern audience' only content.. i mean 80s comedy/action would just disappear
