I might be based coming from Norway where we have a very well regulated system with unions on both sides of the table. But I don't see our unions as something easily corruptable at all.
My first games were Alley Cat and Paratrooper. We also had Leisure Suit Larry. I was navigating in dos at age three to start them. I didn't know how to read or write and I didn't know English was a language I was later going to learn from games and cartoons yet. I played Larry more and more as I grew up, but I never really understood any of the raunchy stuff until many years later.
Worked the first six years of my career using no version history tracking or backups at all on one of our main systems. Nobody knew we didn't have backups and I didn't know how to use git and figured it wasn't so important since I was maintaining it alone anyway.
I don't understand how that is possible. I switch which genres I am mostly into several times a year. I wish I could be one of those die hard fans that stick to the same stuff year in and year out. It seems so peaceful.
Radiohead is one of those bands that evolve their sound a lot, so it is not so weird that you mostly enjoy just a few of their albums.
That said ok computer and its spiritual successor in rainbows are those albums for me.
Also Thom Yorkes track suspirium from the suspiria soundtrack album is one of those songs I cannot stop listening to. That track is often played three times in a row for me.
I was a casual /b/tard around that time. I never saw CP, luckily, or maybe I just skipped those threads by reflex, but a lot of gore went by. There was a lot of fun image macros and stuff. Bur after a while I dropped out of it. I think it was about the same time I got really addicted to stumbleupon. Stumbleupon was my first tailored algorithm and my dopamine receptors haven't been the same since.
