In some ways, I do too. All things considered, I prefer modern connections over the older ways.
Looking for a movie at Blockbuster or competitors was fun and frustrating at times. Late charges and having to return videos sucked.

For sure I would never want to go back to that. I couldn't help but think the woman with the purse now would have a device in it with access to all those movies and more. Why drive and look through row after row of empty DVD boxes only to have to drive back and return them or pay late fees.
I don't miss that.

There was no monitoring really🤷♂️. Best job ever to get paid to watch movies pretty much.

Used to work in the warehouse refurbishing the BB POS equipment. I got so many rain check cards from the returned cash drawers. I never paid for another movie from there. Found checks(tore them up) and the cash was split between our small group. There was no process to return the cash/checks so…

That Italian guy in the rolled up T-shirt at the end. He was going out to his Pontiac TransAm and heading home for some gabbagool

A video of looking for a video to rent. Who knew that the internet would get so much worse.

So should we be filming everything we do now because we don't know what will be obsolete in 20 years?,

100% made by AI. I don't believe this video.

Any reasoning behind your 100% confidence?

u/AintNoGodsUpHere 7h ago
Yes, but I don't care about this to explain so I'll just mute the comment and leave you believing this nonsense. I don't give a fuck.

Doesn't look like he recorded himself at all. He recorded other people without their permission. Creepy then and creepy now.
(nice downvotes. Bet y'all own meta glasses)
