I miss that,
These days they just shoot you on the spot
Swatting became a verb in the 90s.
Swatting wasn’t really a thing until the 2000s. The term wasn’t even really coined until nearly the end of the 2000s. The FBI was using it in like 2008 or so.
See Wikipedia or this FBI archive article https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/stories/2008/february/swatting020408
There weren’t many ways to make anonymous phone calls in the 90s, you had to find 10¢ and go into town to find a pay phone.
He threatened me with his crt
“he raised his hands, presumably to grab a gun from the ceiling, i had no choice but to fire five warning shots in his head and emptying the rest of the clip in his dog that was tied outside in the yard”
“Fucking bitch”
It’s why I switched to LSD.
LCD?
I always forget 😶🌫️
Don’t forget that he owes his entire life earnings to a corporation for downloading 180 songs.
Most heinous crime. Almost as bad as downloading a car
You wouldn’t!!
I did. In fact, I’ve downloaded more cars for Cyberpunk 2077 and GTA IV than I’ve been inside of IRL.

I’m a big bearded Scandinavian (born in Denmark and lived here all my life) with far left political views and a love for tie dye, so I’d say it fits quite well 😁
I’m even growing out my beard to go for a viking braid like this 😁
I just meant you paid for the cars, rather than just take them, because you can. As a Viking.
Lol I’m dumb don’t worry.
Sweet beard though. I gave one of my employees an award at my Christmas party for having the best beard. The only beard actually.

Nice! Was she pleased?
Goddamn…I wish my beard came in that magnificently… seriously didn’t have “emasculated by the picture of a glorious beard” on my 2026 bingo card…
I hope your beard goals come true, don’t let beard dreams stay dreams my friend!
We would certainly be buying cheaper cars if the car industry wasn’t helping keep the cars away from the same place they get their car parts.

Wait, why does the song not start playing when I double-click it?
You have to run the song as an administrator.
Its soo good its needs full read write acess to your drive.
Its for uh surround sound 👌👌👌
Then they discovered it was much easier to do that in people’s phones and that they got way more information from it they could sell.
go into powershell and type sudo [song name]. sudo is the music player
Does
sudorun things as administrator now on Windows?Yes. They added it a few months ago i believe.
Su su sudo
Finally makes sense!
Nah in the 90s you were always running as administrator unless on a school computer or using Linux or something…
Oh, that one was good. 😙
Yooo, can communism get ME that swole too?
Well, you’ll certainly get plenty of exercise and won’t have to stop yourself from binge eating in the gulag!
😨
I’m sorry! I’m sorry!! I didn’t know!!! 😭😭
i just realised how communist crypto farms are. youre telling me hundred PCs share their resources to reach a greater goal?
Actually, they’re all working for the profit of someone else who had the capital to afford the tools they need and extracts labour from them without giving them anything beyond the most basic necessities.
That’s capitalism.
🤯
Today the corporate AI downloads all of the songs, artwork, movies, text, etc. on the internet and the police will just shoot you in the face for no reason.
now this happens when you post wild shit on social
Quote charlie kirk being racist and they will come take you away
Du bist so 1 Pimmel.
Metallica seen by people through the decades :
80s : Oh wow, it’s a fun thrash band with a cool bassist
90s : Fuck you, and the horse you rode in on you sellout piece of shit
00s : Fuck you, and the horse you rode in on you sellout piece of shit also you’re fucking clowns 🤡🤡🤡🤡
10s : Oh wow, they’re still going
20s : Oh wow, they’re still going(NB : My opinion is still the 00s opinion because I’m a millenial)
Don’t download this song.
Even Lars Ulrich knows it’s wrong…
“NAPSTER BAD!”
FIRE BUUUUUURN
YOU WOULDN’T STEAL A CAR NOW WOULD YOU??

I might kill a constable, shit in his hat, and then send that hat to his widow, though.
As long as you don’t buy illegal video copies, you and I are golden 👍
These days, making a U-turn could be your last.
Don’t exaggera…
Never mind. My bad.
Heil Trumpler! 🫶🙏✝️🫣
Gotta love the frosted tips detail.
I liked the can of Surge
And the file ends up being 5mins of toilet sounds… and 17 viruses.
it really was like that.
I remember one time I got spooked that I was about to be raided and took all my backups (on DVDs) to a friends house after a loooong and winding path to their house to ensure I wasn’t followed.
when I dropped it off all he asked was, “can I copy what you have?”
told him he could copy whatever he wanted if he had the drive space. it was a full binder of 100 data DVDs.
was never raided but I was looking over my shoulder for weeks after that.
What gave you the feeling you were about to be raided? Did you receive threats? Was law enforcement stalking you?
I worked at an electronics store at the time and a cop came in asking me some very specific questions about pirating. like a dumbass, I shared my knowledge. Though at the time I didn’t know he was LE.
one of my coworkers called me and told me a cop was around asking for me at work on my day off. soon after that my internet connection died.
I got spooked and dbanned my drives while I took my backups to another friends house.
the guy was probably just trying to learn about piracy tbh. never saw him again after that.
Smart move tbh
They always protect the owner class, never the people.
Ah, now they bust down your door in full paramilitary tactical gear after rolling up in an MRAP and APC, then just shoot you for “resisting.”
90’s were the good old days.
Remember the ‘80s, where a lot of the action films were heroes wiping out boardrooms full of evil dystopian executives…? Yeah. Funny we don’t see much of that anymore.

And then it turns out they weren’t even supposed to be at your house, they were targeting your neighbor
Growing up for the final 6 months of the 90s, you mean? Napster launched June 1, 1999…
Thank you for bringing logic here. I remember Napster and Kazaa and LimeWire being a problem in the early 2000s.
Once in a while maybe you will feel the urge
To break international copyright law
By downloading MP3’s from file sharing sites
Like Morpheus or Grokster or LimeWire or KaZaAYes I nearly got stung once circa 2002, I downloaded some pirated movie off of one of those platforms and shortly after received something in the mail specifically telling me what I downloaded and that I was required to respond to them and they were going to litigate. I did not respond. And the problem seemed to disappear. Thankfully I did not end up being one of those people in the news who was taken to court for millions of dollars.
