we had real internet.
frikkin’ LUCKY!
I had to use a neighbor’s computer, and AOL installed itself as a walled garden, so I couldn’t connect with anything outside the application. But for 13 year old me it was all I knew and I -loved- it! Lol
But you didn’t need a new CD each time, iirc.
Did anyone else know people who would say they’d just get a new AOL disc to “add more free hours” even though it very much did not work like that?
It was free, but iirc, you had to sign up for a monthly subscription, and the 700 hours was just your first month free.
You’re not wrong, but I think their point is that once the trials start, these people never know if they’re going to get away with it or not until they die.
“We steal all the data, just not all at once, so it’s okay.”
This is freaking weird… I finally started working on my own TTRPG idea a few hours ago, and now this pops up in my feed…
Cool!
Not OP, but thanks. Was always curious myself!
I get the joke, but this is honestly kinda cringe
It’s like a slot machine that never loses funded by the American people.
Cool. /s
