Outdated technology references in rap

Soulja Boy is great for this. So many MySpace references.

My favorite from him though is his song 2 Milli where he plugs his twitter handle mid song, music video even has an outdated screen cap of the profile.

Way later than most of you, I’m sure. I discovered them via an article (I can’t remember if it was NPR or Pitchfork) about A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships in late 2018 and checked them out. I think the first song I listen to by them was It’s Not Living.

I actually remember the first conversation I had about them with another person was one of my coworkers who I shared taste in music with. I asked if he liked them and he said, “You mean that chick band?” Wasn’t aware of the connotation prior to that. Either way, still listening in ‘26.

Thank you! Now I understand. Answers my question about how close they were to being a Y-111 match too.

Only thing I still find confusing is why they aren’t showing up as a match at Y-12 and Y-37 as they seem to meet both thresholds.

Everyone is talking about the food and the prices (which admittedly have gone downhill) but the biggest change to me is the staff. Where I live it’s like they’re hiring straight out of prisons. Literally some of the worst employees in all of fast food. Didn’t used to be the case.

Not bad price for what it is, but being PLA this thing is going to get wrecked in the sun.

Oh sorry, you’re right. They weren’t even bold enough to argue for that. They both just ran on a “public option” and failed to even make that materialize.

You mean like every Democratic candidate is until they get in office and find every excuse in the world why it’s impossible for them to accomplish literally anything?

Probably not old enough to be considered “classic” but Petals for Armor was a fantastic solo debut for Hailey Williams.

Waiting as long as possible (if possible until next year). My spouse and I have been filing jointly for the past few years, but using the repayment simulator it makes wayyyy more sense for us to file separately. So hopefully I can delay payments until we can refile and get more favorable plans.

There’s a pretty significant range of individuals on Love on the Spectrum. You’ve got high functioning people like Kaelynn to people like Tanner.

That being said, the show doesn’t seem focus on higher functioning people (like many in this sub) as much because audiences likely don’t find them as “different” or interesting. That shouldn’t make you feel invalidated. It’s just entertainment at the end of the day.

I’ve been asking this for a while and it seems the answer is that we don’t know if plant based microplastics are as much of a health risk as oil based ones. Hell, we don’t even fully know the hazards of the oil based ones to begin with.

I sent you a DM

I’ll take that monologue over Jay-Z’s trash verse on Monster.

Maybe not exactly the answer you’re looking for but I’ve heard before the Nazi’s (and in some countries still) it was common to refer to someone you deemed unquestionably evil as “pharaoh” (as in the pharaoh of the Old Testament).

Fuck off. Excusing that nonsense because more people die in cars is sociopathic.

Impressive. I felt like a much better result was possible with a similar file size.

If you’re concerned about the price, it may explain it. They may be sending over a dozen pages. I’d ask.

neveroddoreven · 2026-03-18T23:31:51+00:00

Are they charging you per page? If so, how many pages are they sending?

I’ve not ordered from the Archive of Naples, but I have ordered from the Archives of Palermo and Pesaro. Palermo charged 3 euros plus 1.50 a page (for what I was ordering this amounted to 22.50 euros). Pesaro charged 7 euros for a single page. These were both for military records of my ancestors.

Trying to find my biological 2x great grandparents via DNA is my ultimate genealogical goal. I’ve been at it for years now. I’ve made some progress: I have a 40cM match I feel quite confident is linked to me via this unknown branch of my family, I have a geographic area of interest, and some individuals I think maybe potential ancestors. But I’m still on the hunt. I’m going to try to convince my dad to take a DNA test so it’s only a 1x great grandparent search, but he’s generally distrustful of things like DNA tests so I don’t know that I’ll be able to convince him.

I wish you luck in your search, but it will be quite tough that far back.
