brightpilot6 said:If Todoric is the one selling them, they probably have "Made in America" stamped on them, even if it's just some kid from the neighborhood.
Robin Fox2 said:Heh... You get them for free when you buy a Favorite cassette...

Larry Fox5 said:For the first 8,000 years, it was all about basic survival—social awareness evolved at a snail's pace—and for the next 1,950 years, literacy was reserved for a tiny elite, and not even because they were smart, just because they had the cash.
Now, in this digital age, people actually have diverse interests because information is everywhere, which obviously speeds up how fast our collective consciousness evolves.
Just look at American football... or soccer, whatever. Fifty years ago, you were lucky if you could catch a game on some grainy radio broadcast where the whole vibe depended on some guy like Blazick. Today? You’re watching with 50 different camera angles, picking your own audio, and rewatching clips whenever you want... it's a totally different world.

Wait, did Gutenberg invent the printing press in 1950?In today's digital age, people have such diverse interests and instant access to information, which surely accelerates the evolution of consciousness.
The digital era definitely impacts consciousness, though maybe not just in terms of "advancement." Besides, the "digital age" is largely limited to the wealthy part of the world. In America, for instance, you still have huge swaths of the population that aren't regularly online.Just look at our sports. Fifty years ago, if you were lucky, you might catch a game over some grainy radio broadcast where a commentator's voice was doing all the heavy lifting. Today, you watch with fifty different camera angles, pick your own audio, and replay it whenever you want.
That’s true. But even so, can we honestly say that today's top coaches are miles ahead of legends like Rinus Michels or Tomislav Ivić?
Keith Miller30 said:You see, this is where things get intense. After the Republican Party essentially collapsed—a collapse so severe that most organizations wouldn't have recovered, leaving them practically on their knees amidst scandals, corruption, lost support, and total fragmentation (they practically needed ☕ to pull through)—the Democrats stepped in to take control of the country. In a situation like that, wouldn't any rational leader attempt to cement their position so firmly that the opposition couldn't even dream of holding another election? Yet, here we are, facing a reality where the Republicans have swept the Democrats in nearly every election, including the recent presidential race, and are currently leading in all the polls (even though the latest data briefly favored the Democrats). If that isn't the ultimate proof of political incompetence, then what is? It isn't just that the leadership is ineffective; it's that they have surrounded themselves with people who lack expertise and experience, all while lacking basic political intuition. To my mind, the opposition leaders are light-years ahead of them.
