Watched a documentary about the last Blockbuster and it was really interesting to see people's devotion to an ~experience~ like travelling halfway across the world to visit a lovely podunk video rental store in Bend, Oregon.

every time I see someone getting a movie at a redbox kiosk i wonder where their life went wrong to lead them to this point.

I still contest that Blockbuster could have survived if they created BlueBox as a competitor since they got rid of late fees, the stores largely just became those anyways.

They were born poor

(Not a jab on poor folks, but being broke as gently caress is a good explanation for not having a set top streaming box + high speed internet + streaming services that require a valid CC)

idk what the problem with redbox is. i sure liked renting movies more than i like netflix. hell a single redbox kiosk probably has a better selection at this point

there was a really cool local video store nearby growing up, the kind of place that rented laserdiscs, had dvds a couple of years before the big chains and the more obscure console games the big chains didn't carry. we are 99.99% sure the owner was a bookie who just laundered money through the store, as he was always hunched over a desk in the back corner on a phone while writing something in a ledger, and i doubt he was buying top-end mercedes with $1.25 dvd rentals. he eventually sold the store to a guy in the marine reserves, who was shot and killed in iraq a year later. his widow sold the place shortly thereafter. honestly, the business was a ticking time bomb anyways, as anyone who wasn't a luddite could see that video stores had no future even at that point

Considering planning on driving 2 hours into the very red part of California (Fresno) and trying to get a "would otherwise be thrown out" vaccine there, since apparently they're not even filling their appointment slots

If I can fly 2 states and then round trip six hours in a rental car twice in 4 weeks for shots you can do this too.

i clicked that link so fast my mouse caught on fire.

edit: ah poo poo, it's $11 for the soda but $25 to ship, gently caress that.

from months ago, but i did this and it turns out those prices on the website are for two 12-can boxes, not 1, so it's $1.50/can instead of $3/can and I am currently enjoying the flavor. thank you for the link!

You are about to embark on a great journey. Are you ready, my friend?

Agile Vector posted:

my folks and their friends had to do the same

our state is doing mass vax clinics for people that can't sit on a computer for hours at a time trying, can't afford to drive half way across the state, or lack a computer or skills to use one so hopefully that helps balance it out in addition to more vax sites and doses

this was entirely on purpose. it made it so only people privileged enough to be able to drive out to the sticks on a moments notice, and the people in the sticks themselves had access.

the mass vax situation was loving comical. there would be a lot of noise about the national guard coming out to give two thousand whole shots, when there are 300000 people on the stl county list signed up.

there seems to be enough in the pipeline now though. everyone I encounter is either scheduled for an appointment soon, or has had a shot or two, or is taking a wait and see approach.

everyone was going to start letting it all hang out real soon now. better if those people are vaccinated because it's going to be naked party at the lake of the ozarks the second it gets nice out wether or not people have gotten vaccinated.
