Yeah the cassette era was a dark time. We are only just now recovering from the death of all music back in the 80's.

One cassette version of the Dead Kennedys e.p. In God We Trust Inc. had a blank side, printed with the message "Home taping is killing record industry profits! We left this side blank so you can help."

Appropriately applied in this case, I think.

How did you get in my basement to put a shirt on me and take my picture without my noticing?

Oh my God that pirate hat has to be the new fedora...

Greentext derivatives might get you some undesirable attention. I wear a trans shirt and people occasionally compliment me on my transness, but I’m not trans so the conversation naturally steers into trans-adjacent topics, and allyship, and blah, blah, blah. 4chan-adjacent topics are slightly less savory.

All attention is undesirable, so it wouldn't matter.

I couldn’t help but picture you as a mass of fundamental particles, each and every one pissed off at being observed by the other

We are all a mass of fundamental particles, each and every one pissed off at being observed by the other on this glorious day.

I took my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry.

Just found a box of old tapes in my closet the other day. I was part of the problem

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Yes, I remember the day of the last song. No music since then. People just stopped singing. Dark times.
If people had paid more attention to the home taping campaign, this could have been prevented.

Oh, now the cassette on the Pirate bay logo is explained. 😂

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

So that's where the cassette tape on TPB's logo came from.

We left this side blank so you can help!
