        Trust me, if I was the Lich King with the Lich King’s army and powers, there would be a lot fewer billionaires…

      You are me. I am you. Old enough to be burdened with the memory of a world before the internet, doomed to watch the death of freedom because of it.

      Old, like me tag

          It’s called TypeWise and takes a little to get used to. However, for someone who absolutely hates digital keyboards, I like it the best of any digital keyboards I’ve used!

              Silly ones like keyboard colors and predictive text outside of like the first 3 or 4 words. Those were the two I hit before paying for it. Their trial is pretty good. Seems a lot of the paywall features are convenience, not necessity.

        Damn, I remember in the late 90’s playing Everquest with some guy in China that knew almost no English thinking how fucking amazing it was to be playing a game with someone on the other side of the world. Now I sit around thinking how the unabomber maybe wasn’t so crazy. I work in cybersecurity and all I want to do is go back to the AOL era

          I feel this in my very creaky bones! I, too, have fond memories of playing EverQuest on a 56k modem and thinking how cool it was that I could play with people from all over the country and world. At least until someone picked up the phone and got me killed mid-fight! Ted wasn’t all that right with his choice of targets, but his assessment of our broken system back then was spot on, I agree. I wish technological improvements since those days didn’t come with the side of techno-fascism that we see today.

      I’m 45 and I don’t know what you younguns are on about. I don’t have knee issues. I don’t have major back issues. Heck I can still out work an Amish crew.

      Y’all need to stretch more.
