Surly there were always people who say things like "wow, I can't believe this thing is happening it's like it's 2004" or something.

"No body ever got fired for choosing IBM"

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 26 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I ironically said that when I was working for IBM.

They don’t actually fire, they do “performance improvement plans”.

Nobody referred to videos as "VHS" unless they were explicitly trying to distinguish the medium from betamax. They just called them "videos" and "tapes" or "videotape."

for example: Hey can I borrow that tape?

That movie just came out on video.

Be kind, rewind your videotape.

I’ve enjoyed my time talking with you and getting to understand how you see the world and, although I don’t agree with you, I’m glad to have had this exchange of opinions and will now reflect upon what I’ve learned.
