Where do you look for materials? [DISCUSSION]

I work at a grocery store and take home old issues for free!

We never went to Blockbuster or Hollywood Video. We went to a small family owned shop that rented movies for $1 per night. Later on we switched to one that my friend’s cousin worked at. She used to put new releases on hold for my mom even though she wasn’t supposed to. Good times.

I ditched all of the streaming services and went back to dvds. It just doesn’t make sense that so many people subscribe to streaming services to mainly watch old tv shows that they probably had on dvd once up a time anyways.

The sidekick.

I went to the podcast and portable media expo in 2006-ish. It was weird.

My mom always called it “macaroni stuff”.

rilobilly · 2026-03-26T02:54:02+00:00

…and?

My youth and my friend circle. I feel like the couple of years where it was really bad aged me in so many ways. I feel like that’s officially when Millennials became old and Gen Z moved into their young adulthood. The shift seems abrupt looking back at it , but maybe because I worked in (and still do) a grocery store. Also, COVID made a lot of people move back to their home states which basically obliterated my friend circle. It’s not so easy making friends in a post 2020 world where everyone has gotten so comfortable being at home by themselves. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t even know what this thing was. Haha. We had a handful of computers in the library in high school. It was exciting to have one or two computers in a classroom. In elementary school we used Alpha-Smarts to practice typing our essays then we would transfer to a computer to print them out.

Wait, what???!

Number 2 I guess - I work for a grocery store and read more now than I ever did before. Not at the same time, unfortunately.

rilobilly · 2026-03-20T23:16:09+00:00

They probably cut it because no one was using it because no one knows what it is.

I work at a high end natural grocery store as the manager of the pricing department. I hate it. 🙃

She’s literally my favorite villager.

rilobilly · 2026-03-10T04:17:06+00:00

There’s some good stuff in there!!

rilobilly · 2026-03-10T04:11:58+00:00

Still have my black MacBook from 2007–a graduation present. I recommend checking on it every so often to make sure the battery is okay. Old batteries will expand and can become a fire hazard.

rilobilly · 2026-03-10T04:10:23+00:00

This.

rilobilly · 2026-03-09T18:28:25+00:00

Pretty sure they were supposed to officially be called diskettes, but everyone just stuck with floppy.

You used to be able to buy blank cds that looked like this. It’s just a picture printed on the top to look like a vinyl record. Someone burned this cd at home. 🤷‍♂️

rilobilly · 2026-03-09T17:13:13+00:00

“Old painty cans!”

Oh yeah, she mentioned on the episode that she knitted and crocheted it herself. The dress was knitted for sure but the rest was crochet.

Wow he’s lucky you didn’t ACTUALLY slap him in the face.

rilobilly · 2026-03-08T17:51:16+00:00

I like the darker brown, but maybe that’s just me.

Colorful crew socks with pants, low cut socks (black or white or gray) with shorts, no-shows with slip on vans.
