Ipods were extremely out of my price range as a teen in poverty. MDs were selling at deep discount, and the MP3 players in stores were 8-32 MB. And I wasn't going to get money for the 32 if 8 was there and nobody around me understood the limitations of only holding 3 songs.

Honestly I forgot that iPods existed back then because the price was nowhere near realistic. It probably would have been preferable to MD though if money didn't matter.

At this point the ancient people are the most likely to flip if certain lines are crossed. They were there before the current politics and don't have a future to risk. Plus decades of ego.

The young guys aren't even going to consider voting with dems no matter what the situation. They all recently went into office being onboard with everything.

I had a MD player in 2004. I actually preferred it over MP3 at the time. With a similar priced MP3 player you could only fit a few songs, but with MD you could have several MDs and not have to keep overwriting songs. Both were rewritable if needed though. Both were filled the same way by being connected to a PC.

Well this one video explains all of his behavior.

Sure but everything would be blocky and you would be stuck with villagers saying hmm all the time. Unless you decide to live alone with the lights always on so a creeper, enderman or zombie doesn't get you.

This is interesting to see as someone who hasn't been able to afford to travel. One of the cool things since learning German that I have noticed is that I can read a lot of Swedish and Dutch. Those languages kind of look like a combination of English and German with alternative spelling to me now.
