That’s me, pretty much. I use macOS and an Arch-based distro (but not Arch itself because I have better things to do with my time). But I don’t bother anyone about it because who gives a poo poo, christ. Because

It does, sure, but I kinda set it up with the Arch mockery up there. I still hate people who won’t shut up about it, and I do as a person who actually uses that stuff.

Whats her name, from Lois and Clark, she was the "most downloaded woman on the internet". How the hell do they know that? i am pretty sure random porn image from Usenet was downloaded more.

Also, Pam and Tommy Lee sex tape. I remember renting it with some friends and when it was over one of my friend said "Well, I'm glad I didn't masturbate to that".

Based on the average age of goons, we were like mid teens which is prime horny time, and unlike a few years later when the internet and specifically high speed internet gave us unlimited naked people.

I was binging Todd In the Shadow's vids recently, and came across his one about Billy Idol's Cyberpunk. Which gave us this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tMFs-5FlWk

I wish that was better quality, because this video looks insane. Does he have stigmata on his hands?

Anyways, it made me try to think of other bands that, as Todd says, had their careers ruined by Nirvana. Rock Gods that as soon as Smells Like Teen Spirit was shown on MTV they might as well of packed it in. Like I don't think I heard any Poison after that, and maybe there was that one Motley Crue song that got some play. Van Halen and Bon Jovi kept going, but they were clearly entered the realm of dad rock by then.

Todd's new episode of Trainwreckords, about Lauryn Hill's terrible Unplugged album, is pretty drat good. It technically came out in 2001, but Lauryn is 90s as gently caress.

I remember enduring that crummy CGI video for Def Leppard's "Let's Get Rocked" what felt like a million times waiting for something better to come on

MTV playing original, unedited episodes of Speed Racer in the half-hour after Beavis and Butt-head was a very 90s decision to make, and one I really appreciated.

Get back in my rear end, from wence you came, you give poop a bad name!

Also looking at the classic cover and remarking about how it was just before Eddie Murphy picked up Jon Bon Jovi. It's not quite Triumph's xmas special or the line for Phantom Menace, but that is one of the top Triumph bits.

That's what made me binge his stuff. That whole thing was real weird. Like Lauryn Hill was setup to be the lady of Smart Soulful Hip Hop, but then her brain just broke it seems. Also he points out how Miseducation is actually full of "pull up your pants" stuff.

I STILL hear it today, on the playlist at work because the new owners switched it from the really good 60s, 70s and 80s station to the station that you hear in the waiting room at the Dentists.

The pull up your pants stuff isn't that weird, there always been a socially conservative element in African-American culture.

Was it a big thing at that point though? I know i'm not going to be someone who would have expertise about the Black American culture, but I first remember it being something Cosby said. Unless the MLK Boondocks episode is from before ? I didn't see any of that until much later.

I'm not qualified to comment much, either, that's why I edited it out.
