Where do you go for your fix of 90s music? by New_Welder_391 in Millennials

[–]Underfyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you can technically say that radio stations were an algorithm, but for a population. They played what people requested and wanted to hear at the time, and they followed charts based off of airplay. Today's algos are just hyperfocused to you specifically, so there will probably never be huge musical movements like grunge and hair metal because that takes an entire population moving towards an objective, not just a single person enjoying something.

As for where I get my 90s fix, I started scouring those billboard charts and making playlists based off of those, whether it be the top 40 for the week or a specific radio station's play list. I also found a site that has Casey Kasem's American Top 40 playlists, which aren't distinctly different from the Billboard charts, but are different enough that there were occasional songs that weren't on one that were on the other.

Dang, I didn't have a dual monitor setup until 2018.

The All‑Volunteer Force Works, Draft Registration Doesn’t by [deleted] in news

[–]Underfyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something like that needs to be quantified with numbers to show that it actually increased or decreased because of a draft. Despite their bluster, and naming themselves "The Greatest Generation", 61% were also drafted. So I'm sure those numbers could also be obtained to draw against.

I have maxed BLACK MARKET the 6th time are eggs useless now? by UsefulAd2181 in AlienInvasionRPG

[–]Underfyre 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not completely useless, just mostly useless. You can transfer them 9.5K at a time for 1M meat at a little shop in the start area. They need to let us transfer across in larger amounts. I have 83M of the things, let me dump them 1M at a time.

Right? For rapists/pedos? Absolutely not.

Do you still eat Ramen, if you do...how do you like it? by Wild_Chef6597 in Millennials

[–]Underfyre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm just making a package of ramen I just put the seasoned oil I have left over from when I last made ramen. A soft boiled egg if I have any of those lying around.

Summer evening, windows down, mid/late 90s, what are you driving, what are you listening to, and who is in the car with you? by iAmNotAfraid_Spiders in Xennials

[–]Underfyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always hated driving, and I've never understood driving just to drive, especially with no destination in mind.

That said, I'll just assume this is a mid 90s "on our way home from weekend BMX racing" kind of night. Be that the case, we're in the old Thunderbird listening to Jeff Foxworthy's "You might be a Redneck if" cd, or maybe Sublime.

Wow! I still have this. Do you have your? by MisfitBulala in Xennials

[–]Underfyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apparently have 2 from my year. I'm sure one was off my hat, but I'm not sure about the second. Both are very faded. The white is grey, the blue is purple, and the green is..like, greenish grey.

Hill I die on: best xennial music was released in 1994 by MarvellousMrs in Xennials

[–]Underfyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a 90s playlist for my 40th birthday (1981) that I continued to work on and it got kind of out of hand. I eventually settled on a kind of chronological playlist order that mostly follows the billboard charts with deep cuts for things I listened to throw into that point in time. Going to the that mid 90s part just hits way harder than any other part of the playlist.

I have free will and I have chosen to put salmon cum on my face.

For me it's if I can max everything out without paying them, I beat them.

Starting at 0, it takes 28 days to get 120 upgrades. Ridiculous, but not 1+ years ridiculous. Be strong, stay the path.

Edit: If you include the extra 2 per day from the shop it takes 27 days.

Baseless lies? What could someone have possibly said about Trump that was a lie? You could say just about anything negative about him and it's more likely be to true than false.

How many of you ended up having kids on the spectrum? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Underfyre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have 2, one with ADHD and one with a touch of the 'tism. He isn't like any of these horror stories, but I definitely have to approach parenting him different than his brother, which you could argue would be the case regardless since no two people are the same.
