| I never thought much of the need for trigger warnings until I read “the Xbox 360 came out decades ago” |

| The XBox 360 release is closer to the (US) release of the NES than it is to the current day. |

| ▲ | giancarlostoro a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Dang. That wasn't supposed to be a challenge... That will have eventually become true no matter what tbh. | |
| ▲ | Sophira a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Similarly, Windows XP's release is closer to the release of the IBM 5150 (the first-ever IBM PC) than it is to today. | | |
| ▲ | tosti 18 hours ago | parent [-] | | But the difference in computing power is more impressive between the first IBM PC in 1981 and a new PC from 2001, than between a new PC from 2001 and now. At least subjectively (it might be that software in general got more slower than hardware got faster). |

| I read a plot outline describing "turn of the century" and it threw me when I figured out they were talking about the early 2000s. |

| ▲ | godshatter 11 hours ago | parent [-] | | That one for me is particularly painful. We were playing the alpha release before the game officially came out after work. I still work at the same place, though I've moved jobs within it a few times. |

| ▲ | inigyou 11 hours ago | parent [-] | | DX I don't fear dying in a car accident. I dread the certainty that one day I'll be 80 and all I'll have left are memories, everything and everyone I ever loved will be gone (unless I have children which is very unlikely at this point), the world will be completely alien to me, and there's absolutely nothing I can do to prevent this - apart from dying even sooner which is even worse. I think there are ways most people cope with this knowledge most of the time so they don't go crazy. I get why so many elites are obsessed with preventing aging. | | |
