Not at all. Many mp3 players didn’t even have screens. Flip phones also didn’t have redundant screens on the outside like they do now. The old devices which did have outside facing screens had hard thick plastic and not glass on their screens. Think about what your phone case is made of - the screens used to be made of that stuff too.

Those old devices didn’t have big easily shattered glass screens like current smartphones do.
Cargo pants were great back in the 2000s when you could use them to stow an old Nokia phone, an iPod, and a little point-and-shoot digital camera.
I bet the so-called crimes of the ”non-innocent” 10-30% were merely acts of defending themselves against a foreign invader.
The real crumple zone is fragile masculinity.
Back then the blurry CRT TV screens did the antialiasing and motion smoothing for free.
They’re already sending this boat all the way from the Pacific Ocean. Maybe every boat which is closer (which would be almost all of them) has the long weekend off? You can’t assume that the US military is going to be sensible or efficient about anything to do with this genocide cruise. They might point it towards Suez just so they can do a bit of sabre-rattling with China and Iran and probably everyone else too along the way.
The yuppies in the late ‘80s in their mid-late 20s would have been largely gen Xers.
Yeah, boomers in 1988 would have been about the same age as millennials are now, and this kind of nonsense was not still being regularly written about them back then. Nor was it for gen Xers in 2007 when they were the same age.
How many 9/11s is that, twenty? If only there was another country to blame it on then something could be done about it.
Do they teach that line at schools in the US? I’ve seen Americans on the internet mention it very regularly, but it just seems so odd. Some (liberal) democracies are monarchies and some are republics. Why do Americans all seem to think those things are mutually exclusive？
Is this whole controversy just weird capital-G Gamers logging into their Steam/Reddit/X/etc accounts to complain about logging in to a PlayStation account? I don’t get what the big deal is.
