i think you misremembered, but i’ve only seen the ova

i forgot those later filmpacks had batteries, golly what a boondoggle! at least polaroid is making em first party again, maybe someday it’ll be an affordable medium lmao

lmao we’ve had opposite experiences! i bought 2 old-ass polaroid land cameras that were perfectly functional, and took probably 50 pictures on each of em before the prices on fp-100c film started creeping above $1 per shot.

the impossible project continues to make type 100 film, but they currently charge ~$50 for THREE shots. for context the discontinued fp-100c filmpacks come in 10 packs and would run you ~$100 today. upsettingly high, but STILL CHEAPER than the modern replacement :c

i’ve happened into SO MUCH vintage audio gear this exact way hahahah

if you can’t keep your entire music collection in the player, what’s the point?

you can occasionally find these at goodwills or on ebay for like $70, 90% of the time they just need new belts for the carousel. they even have a special port on the back that lets you daisychain two of em together and share outputs, AND they read home-burned cd-text. it’s a physical media pirate’s dream machine lol

is that this guy?

yeah, reckon we’ve both been getting a bit semantic lol

i can’t speak for the original person, but my whole thing is regardless of consumer practices, manufacturerers are gonna keep making more and more phones every year, and they’re already making too many. those NIB phones on ebay were purchased, but not to be used. until they get sold, they’re just closer and closer to trash every day.

trade ins and buying/selling used DOES make a difference, it’s just hard not to think it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the massive amounts of electronics that end up getting discontinued, discounted, and sold to resellers hahaha

i gotta lotta unconditional love for my homies lol

my nd friend group has a protocol for this! if you think you already understand what the other person is saying, you just say “avocado”. then they either ask some questions to confirm or just say “ok but i wanna info dump anyways” and then it’s COLLABORATIVE info dumping!

i put off calling in a refill for my adderall too many times and my doctor got upset with me and now he calls ME if i go more than like 2 weeks over my script duration. i got remarkably lucky finding him.

Yeah but new phones that go unpurchased don’t just magically get unmanufactured. I ONLY buy used phones, but that has literally no impact on the garbage production that comes from companies releasing a new model literally every year.

The sheer number of old phones that are still new-in-box on the secondhand market should be enough to exemplify that fact. We are WAY overproducing tech, and the “model a year” framework is throwing fuel on that particular fire.

It’s like people really think “reduce reuse recycle” is LITERALLY ALL IT’S GONNA TAKE. 1 year upgrade cycles are just as bad as fast fashion for how quickly they produce GARBAGE.

320gb hdd I had laying around that would otherwise just collect dust due to it’s miniscule size.

i put a 512gb drive in a thinkpad less than a decade ago and thought at the time “boy this might be overkill”

and now i can get 2tb on a fucking microsd for a cheaper data/cost ratio than i did back then, wild.

even when it’s earned, very rarely do i have to see exactly how someone does a fuck to understand the plot. like what am i supposed to feel, horny? because i certainly don’t get teary eyed and sentimental over what is essentially softcore porn lmao

“storytelling toilet skeleton” is actually a pretty good vocal warmup

being a union busting RAT

omfg i’m doing this

there’s a few mini-truck dealerships (somewhat) near me and they’re supposedly street legal, even on highways around here. i reeeaaallly wanna get one just to move shit around town.

ah jeeze you sure got riled up, huh?

so first of all, i’m not even the same person you first replied to. idk what gave you this idea, but i’d suggest reading usernames before going THIS all-in over something so minor.

second, i didn’t call YOU callous. i made an (honestly pretty fucken measured) assessment of your statement, which is still a very rude thing to say to a stranger by the way! i don’t claim to know ANYTHING about you personally, so i sure would look like some kind of fucking idiot if i tried to make a personal judgement, right? maybe one like “you must be a riot at parties”? THAT’D sure be embarrassing.

no one ever said the burger place wasn’t good, or that you’re an asshole for recommending it. honestly i don’t know what possessed you to get THIS defensive. obviously i can’t speak for everyone, but i’d bet that no one here thought you were wrong for recommending a restaurant.

you’re being downvoted because you’re functionally echoing the same bullshit “anti-woke” sentiment that we all have to suffer through day after day. and please believe me when i say, you’re the first and only person who considers this an argument. at any point (even now!) you could say “whoops yeah that was mean” and that would LITERALLY BE THE END OF IT FOR ME.

but if you wanna keep showing your whole ass to a public forum, i will absolutely keep giving you the airtime for it 💖

It’s as complicated as you make it to be, and that’s gonna vary WILDLY per person lmao
