With a Usenet account, I was able to make things relatively autonomous.

I told it what I wanted and it found it immediately, downloaded it, renamed it, even replaced it with higher quality whenever it became available.

It would find new episodes of shows I asked it to look for as they aired, new movies I was interested in as soon as they became available, Scott’s, genres, it was crazy.

If I was at work and someone recommended me a movie, I could add it to an IMDb watch list and my PC at home would have it downloaded automatically before I even got home.

It was way too efficient for me, I don’t watch much ‘content’ in real life, but it was so easy and efficient I ended up with dozens of TB’s of stuff that I never had the time to watch to begin with.

I was a collector of ‘content’ and not a consumer of it. So I stopped torrenting and using Usenet.

But Usenet is really pretty awesome with the right setup. I felt like I didn’t need to do shit once I set everything up.

That guy has saved ….. so much money! I’m jealous

Or just work a part time gig at McDonald’s for a couple 5 hour shifts a week to supplement your career job.

Makes it pretty appealing to think about flipping some burgers for $20 an hour, $100 a day 2-3 days a week.

Could be an extra $1,000 a month or so for people looking for something to supplement their income.

Street fighter II

growing up with line ups of kids playing sfii in the arcades, leaving your quarters on the cab in a line to figure out who’s next, and when someone finally beat that Asian kid (who knew every move you’d make and always picked chun li) who played for free all day beating everyone else was finally beaten and the cheers and the whooping and sometimes even the real fist fights over it.

Street fighter ii was an absolute phenomenal moment in gaming

My right testicle gets VERY SORE sometimes

This is such a short sighted and selfish thing to say.

I had a vasectomy, for many of the reasons stated here (the most important one being so my wife didn’t have to put her own body through any more trauma).

But I had 3 beautiful, healthy and perfect kids first
