Bro Hymn by Pennywise is playing right now. Listening to the punk channel on XM.
I’ll have to look at Ublock. I used AdGuard for a while but can’t get it to function with a VPN (except for the one they offer, which was terrible).
I’d played Doom with people on networked computers in college, but that wasn’t really “internet”. But right at the end of the 90’s when we started getting online game servers was great. Being able to play Unreal or Battlefield 1942 with random people from anywhere was amazing, and very addicting. Servers would have like 8 or maybe 16 player slots. More than that and lag would make the games unplayable. You’d keep refreshing the server lists looking for an open slot with a low ping, and join in. Actual early internet wasn’t terribly exciting. Pretty much just text only, maybe some tiny graphics, since download speeds were unbearably slow.
It’s not a new thing for the Republic side. Reagan refused to do anything about the HIV/AIDS epidemic, or even speak about it publicly, since he believed it was God’s punishment against the gay community. Before it started spreading and killing his white Christian community too, the administration was fine letting it kill off the people he hated.
Commodore basic on the PET computer, back around 1981-1983. My grade school had three of them in the library, and since my mom was a teacher, she would sign one out for summer break and bring it home if any were available.
