Once they factor in the Time Machine to transport this video card 15 years into the past, it should be quite the deal!

It would be perfect to replace the failing Radeon 6970M video card in my 14 year-old Plex server (3 10 year-old Seagate EXOS dives included)! The only problem is that my entire 14 year-old Plex server is only worth about half the price of this video card, and I already have 8GB of VRAM!

Soooo… why would anyone buy this?

Only because Google actually worked as advertised (and only as advertised). Compared to what Google is now, that’s a matter of opinion.

All things considered, I’ll take the Google of yesteryear over the Google of today. I’ll also take a more privative and much goofier/glitchier YouTube.

Shit, I remember when having a Gmail account was a coveted thing that required an invite that people paid literally hundreds, even thousands of dollars for. I had five, and I sold one for $2k, and another for $4k. (These people were total twats). Decades later, I still use my fistname.lastname@gmail.com addy, while one is dead, and the other got married 2 months later and changed their name anyway. Idiots, lol. Weeks later, invite Scott bumped up to 50, then 250, then unlimited, then it got opened to the public.

Being impatient is expensive.

Grad school was a crazy time

It’s OK to make eye contact when you’re cumming ;)

possibly-- Homer may have been an actual person, or the name may just refer to an amalgamation of people who compiled many myths and legends, passed down for generations through oral tradition, to paper, once and for all.

Unironically, that’s usually what most geocities pages were about

I have no obligations for the rest of the day. I’m currently vacillating between making coffee and not making coffee before I go and play cyberpunk 2077 for the rest of the day.

Update: I made coffee

It’s also uncertain whether Homer was even a real person himself.

Considering how many children he has sired, I’d be surprised if he only had one kid who was trans

Eh, back when GeoCities was still a thing, most people were too busy actually having a life to regularly post about it online. Since this was before smartphones, updating a social media profile was a lot more complicated and time-consuming.

Having an active social media profile back then was often a red flag that a person was more “talk” than “walk“.

Back in my day, there were alternatives to Google

As was the style at the time…

At least then, you are legitimately justified in telling them to “suck it”
