Probably technically, but I can almost guarantee you they quite literally couldn’t care less about two brothers sharing an account. They’re more worried about large groups sharing an account.

Ones here in the states vary a lot from place to place. Some places have absolutely everything, books, movies, games, tools, makerspaces (or at least 3d printers), computers etc.

But most city libraries outside if your big big ones are still relatively small. My local one is about the size of a small grocery store, real modest. Damn do the workers there pour their hearts and souls into it though, they’re always hosting events and stuff. Really appreciate our library workers. Main benefit is getting access to their network, which generally gets you a whole host of other stuff. Ebook rentals, audio book rentals, book transfers, etc.

It’s a shame what the GoP is trying to do to the American library system.

Everyone in general

I know it’s kinda cheating to bring them up in this context, but the Swiss manage to run trains to very small towns just fine

Emulation when I was younger (and to a lesser extent now. I own the vast majority of old consoles/games I have any interest in playing these days). These days it’s near exclusively TV/Movies and pretty much entirely because of convenience. Between myself and the others in my household, we have near every streaming service, I just can’t be fucked to figure out which one what I want to watch is on.

I really need to get around to turning my old pc into a media server.

I think survivorship bias plays into it as well. Yeah, most the stuff on the radio today is kinda meh. Most the stuff on the radio in those days was kinda meh too. All the meh songs got forgotten, and you only remember the bangers. You’ve already seen it happen to 00s music and we’re watching it happen with the 10s.

But yeah, it’s wild how many people look at how accessible different types of music are now and just… don’t go looking.

Right? I remember being absolutely mind blown away by a 2gb SD card. Nowadays I pickup a 32gb microSD for $3 every time I got to Micro Center

But then I don’t get to justify my 3d printer purchase with custom enclosures with their jobs engraved on them

The issue with the combination of rabbit holes I’m going down is all the damn pis Im gonna end up being lol

That would likely be why they specified North America

Can’t say they’d work 100% on this phone, but there are apps that allow you to switch your audio input/output that may help

Didn’t have any bullies in high school (thankfully), but my elementary school bully ended up becoming one of my better friends. Nothing crazy, kid was just a shithead when he was little, he moved to the other side of the district and I didn’t see him again til HS. Completely different and really chill person by then.

I will forever maintain that 8th graders are the most vicious people on this planet

I had a relatively similar experience. Some people were definitely treated like shit, but there’s was nearly none of what’s classically considered bullying, especially of a physical nature. Im not pretending it was some utopia where everybody got alone, but the vast majority of people were far too busy worrying about their own shit.

Yeah that’s just… not how that works? People are perfectly capable to keeping to themselves without necessarily being bullied

Or more likely, they knew nut didn’t care, because they did all the same tbings.

The thumbnail kbin decided to pull for this is funny. “A message to space”, what’s the message? A giant S.O.S.? Feels like it should be.

Ah yes, because something you know ahead of time is a comedy/tragegy/what have you is totally the same as randoms on the internet

“Yeah Trump is openly talking about being a dictator, but at least he not Biden”

What a fucking dipshit.

Of course he did. He’s a good little fascist lapdog
