  My most vidid first memories of the internet are me and friends going into AOL chats and immediately being bored, ******* with them however we could because it was just boring. TBF we would **** with people IRL in the same way most of the time. It took longer to get that bored

  back in i want to say around 2010, AOL offered @ love .com emails as a valentines day promotion. i ran some script for hundreds of rare usernames on it. aol was unusable for a daily email service so i didn't get much use out of them, but they were nice to look at

  Mel misses the point, perhaps even by sincere error. It's not nostalgia for limited programs. I'm sure there are some people who want to go back to AOL, but that's not the point. It's that we have come to recognize that being parked in front of a screen for most of the day is bad for even an adult, much less a child. So many of us are nostalgic for a day when we weren't online all the time. Personally, I'm also old enough to remember when I was called socially deficient for reading all the time, just because my books were more interesting than my peers. I was in eighth grade before I found friends who liked even some of what I enjoyed. Being online isn't automatically bad, but if you don't exercise self-control you'll find it controls you. That's being terminally online -- when it defines you, more than anything else.

  @Soaringeagle45 19. I never had an AOL account, but I used to reformat their ubiquitous floppies for my own use. :)

  @ThrillaRilla369 I remember the AOL chatrooms, you couldn't call someone a moron online, they'd cancel your account for 6 months over it and say it's a family community

  @mar70854f @nemywtf @itskwasi You have to get an undergraduate degree before you go for a PHD retard Zuck and gates were mega geniuses going to harvard. Zuck had a job offer from AOL in high school. Much different from 99.9% of you retards who say “well an immaterial amount of rich people don’t have degrees”

  @babybeginner @Scada_Hacker There is a problem with your Bruiser logic. This was Ladybird, formerly know as Damsel, formerly known as cat with cat shaped markings.. Ear tipped, but shouldn’t have been TNRED. She wasn’t feral, probably never was but she had the tipped ear of a tnred cat, and I swear I once saw her on AOL as a cat with interesting markings, yet I found her dumped in a Walmart parking lot, late winter on a cold drizzly morning. How this chunky lady ended up under a car, begging for help is probably something I will never know, but once I was able to pick her up, she was that heavy.. I put her in my cargo van so that she was out of the drizzle.. I ended up taking her home with me that cold not friendly cat morning and she lived with me for at least 8 years. I didn’t get a scanner, I probably should’ve gotten one by now, but those microchips have been known to travel Ladybird lived a long not always beautiful life but it was a long one. I picked her up in 2012 and she lived into the 2020’s and was pretty Active up until the last few weeks of her life. She passed quietly next to me in our bed.

  WSJ profiled Bending Spoons this week — the Milan company that owns AOL, Evernote, and Vimeo, run by executives in their 30s and staffed by people who are sometimes younger than the software they've been hired to fix. It's actually a story about why so many applicants never make it through the door. Hundreds of thousands apply every year — enough that the rejection rate makes Harvard look like an easy yes — and most of them are optimizing for the wrong thing: credentials, polish, a great answer to "tell me about yourself." Almost anyone can be gracious to the person deciding their future. It's how they treat someone who can't do anything for them that's hard to fake. Last year: roughly 800,000 applications, 286 hires, an acceptance rate near 0.04% — tighter than Citadel's famously selective quant recruiting (0.36%), something like a hundred times harder than Harvard. That selectivity isn't a gut call. A dedicated team inside the company grades every interview against fixed criteria, then tracks how each hire performs months and years later, feeding the results back into the model. CEO Luca Ferrari has said the signal his team weights hardest is exactly this — how a candidate treats the people who have zero power over the outcome: the assistant, the receptionist. Not decency theater. Data: how you act in front of power is a performance; how you act in front of none is closer to the truth. That gap gets coded straight into the model, right alongside the interview scores. I'd bet you've done the reverse of this in the last week without noticing — warm with your boss, a little short with someone who couldn't do anything for you either way. Most companies say they hire for character. Very few test it anywhere the candidate isn't being watched by someone who can help them. Worth trying on your own team — just notice who's kind to the person who can't do anything for them.

  @SADDAY_EVERYDAY WCW would still be here today if AOL/Time Warner cared about pro wrestling at LEAST enough to sell it to Bischoff. Guaranteed money wouldn't have done ****. They wouldn't have gone broke trying to pay Hulk Hogan. It's stupid to think otherwise.
