This was my first ever exposure to Battletech, and 35 years later I still love the franchise. This looks awesome.

Or "Just google it"
There were us knowledgeable early adopters who were ridiculed endlessly by ... pretty much everybody ... who actually worked to build the thing. Then the companies came.... and brought with them the ignorant, unthinking majority of the lowest common denominator who believe everything they're told to believe. I call it stolen. The consumer class that followed the corporations didn't build this place, nor did they represent what we had built.
This page best view with: Netscape Navigator 3.0!
That would certainly make it difficult to include then, hehe, thanks
The unthinking sheeple who remain behind, the lowest common denominator of humanity.... I won't really miss them, honestly.
Hehe, the actual "old internet" resembles the fediverse of today, it's what we thought the internet was supposed to be back then. Once corporations found the internet, we got the bullshit we have today.
Rock and stone, brother!
not including calls to kbin.social? Curious how they factor in, since they seem to be getting pretty big.
Which only works with an educated and informed base of voters. Which is probably why the people who corrupt all forms of government spend so much effort in making sure we remain ignorant and misinformed.
It's not knowing what we want, we all know what we WANT, it's knowing what we NEED. We WANT to have more than anybody else (More money, more power, more ... things)... But it's not what we NEED. We need food, water, air, a safe place to sleep, love.
But we instead spend a bunch of time, resources and energy on things we don't really need, and convince everyone else that THINGS define our worth, that we can only be good if others are worse off. We promote greed and hatred. We APPLAUD that shit and then try to emulate it. It's not what we need though.
@DarkFox That's good to hear, it wasn't shitty enough as it was.
