I stopped doing that because cars make people crazy!

I used to carry a business card case with about a dozen or so little cards that said "Drown in Shit" in a frilly font. I'd wedge them in the windows of people who parked like assholes.

All the catharsis of keying a car, without the guilt of property damage!

Just something I've been thinking about for no reason.

I once had it explained to me very patiently that the reason we couldn't have universal healthcare is because that would eliminate a huge amount of jobs.

Was cracking myself up imagining a futuristic drug called "U4EA" that nobody actually took because the name is so dumb.
But then it turns out to not only be a real marijuana brand, but also the name of the scary drug from a 1991 episode of Beverly Hills 90210.

This song is Dreamcast-core. I am willing to accept follow-up questions at this time.

I typed "the" into the search bar on YouTube music, and this came up.
The system works.

I've spent the entire morning listening to Angels & Airwaves (Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge's space-obsessed arena pop multimedia indulgence) and I am FURIOUS at how much I love it.

changing my bio to "I know there's a lot going on right now, but can we talk about Sega for a second?"

There are all these, like, Nintendo Switfch controllers with "sega saturn" themed colorways, and I'm like, "Those look dope. Where do those colors even come from?" and then I look it up, and then, *see above*

this thread began because i got mad when i found out that the all-black Sega Saturn design was only in the US.

Eventually, Sega pivoted from consoles to just making video games, where they continue to fucking OWN because that's perhaps what they should have been doing all along.

It's just an example of how you can understand one arm of a market and just… NOT GET the rest.

Upon a time, the train companies dominated transport. And they fought each other for dominance in the Train Industry.

Except they weren't IN the train industry. They were in the transport industry. And interstate highways empowered trucking companies to eat train companies for breakfast.

I will be the first to lionize Sega for their willingness to be like "Yes! This! Now!" But they are an object lesson in what my dad used to call the 'industry problem'

This is relevant to the future by means of like… obviously the world does not want an "everything app." (I am once again begging the tech world to learn something from the PSP)

But the world also does not want 5 different "something app"s from one company.

I feel like the kids would call this the 'we have mcdonald's at home' meme, but in sega's case, you really did have mcdonald's at home.
It's just that McDonald's couldn't play the version of Ecco the Dolphin with the really GOOD music.

even in the late 90s, it was clear that their ethos was 'don't do it better, do it first.'
But that's how you get a scenario where you have the Genesis and 32X and the SegaCD and the Saturn all competing with Nintendo AND with each other.

I'm sick and tired of feeling like I'm the only person who remembers Sega as a tech cautionary tale.

Sega is what happens when you "move fast and break stuff."

We accidentally ended up at the goth night of our neighborhood pinball bar, which is the most Minneapolis sentence I could possibly imagine.

"I used AI to see what the cast of Futurama would look like if they were real!"

Okay but why?

"dipshit" has GOT to be the best insult there is.

Hell yeah. I passed an initial certification exam and I start my new job on Friday. My unlikely journey to becoming a finance bro begins.

I believe it was Ben Franklin who said,

I mean, yeah, but it hits different now that the law is involved.

One thing about marriage that was honestly surprising is how often I truly am called upon to open jars.
