It did! But the revolutionized internet left it behind.

It's rather ironic how some of the biggest innovators were the biggest flops commercially (sort of like how Napster revolutionized music distribution).

Omg they're making more starwars movies! These are gonna be awesome!

I guess I could also have titled the topic "Sayings that did not age well."

"I'm really looking forward to my audition with Harvey Weinstein!"
"I think Twilight would make a great movie series."
"Have you seen my Blockbuster Video card laying around?"

I know what you mean. I've heard many people complain about tenants not paying, damaging property, stealing, and more.

The property damage risk alone is incredibly nerve wracking. My nextdoor neighbor had a tenant that actually paid on time each month, but ended up doing over $20,000 plumbing damage to the house (negating any shred of actual profit).

Even with good insurance, the risks are huge.

Well, this was a fun (and oddly familiar) read. It's good to know that each person stands exactly where he or she has stood for years on the issue, with nearly zero chance of shifting opinion on the matter.

I'm going to go talk to a brick wall now, where I can make a REAL difference.

I thought he is some sort of senior mechanical engineer and this landlord ordeal is just a way for him to generate an extra inflow of money.

Or (as was in my case), you're trying to move out of a devalued condo / home that won't sell, and are forced to lease it out to avoid foreclosure.

At least property values are up now, so if there's land involved, selling might be a legit option. But, to TC's original statement, being a landlord does indeed suck. A good, reliable tenant is becoming a rarity.

I missed u

Well that's..., surprising. But shucks, I'll take all the good vibes I can get.

Last time I hung out here was well before the pandemic set in. (Back in 2019, my wife and I adopted a little Guatemalan girl, and she's basically running our lives now.)

Who's running the PotD show these days? I see adjl and PO are still wall-o-texting, Duckbear is still in full-force, and Nade is..., Nade.

You know..., that old pair of Umbro shorts that you wore for hours on a hot summer day, but accidentally dropped behind the washer when dumping in your laundry, and even though you really liked that pair, you didn't feel like fishing it out, so you said "fuck it..., I'll buy new shorts."

That's sorta what it feels like.

So anywho...., how's life treatin y'all?

Do you think she might even have been the last person to film the inside of the WTC, or are school trips like that fairly common?

Definitely the last one. Literally nobody else on earth had camcorders at that point. She built it herself with aluminum cans, window shards and 6 AA batteries.

It was profoundly significant.

"Alright kids, are you excited to see the World Trade Center?"

Poor taste aside, I actually did get to go inside the World Trade Center IN 2001 (less than 3 months before the attack). We were on a school trip, and our German teacher (who was filming random moments from the trip with an old camcorder) walked slowly around the observation deck filming the whole perimeter.

We gave her a hard time on the ride home as we watched the video, since nearly 30% of the video was just her slowly walking around that observation deck (thinking uggggh, not this boring-ass footage again). Little did we know...
