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.
I should have checked first. My bad.
I think you hit the nail on the head. It’s being made about hypothetical implications, instead of being taken at face value…
Here’s another one: Are you more of a silly person or a serious person?
There are implications to both, and few would self identify as strictly one or the other, but I can easily see which side I tend to align with without labeling myself a “Serious/Silly Person”
It’s really blowing my mind that this concept isn’t more intuitive. (I’ve had this conversation with a family member who has a view very similar to yours)
I feel like I understand what they said, but maybe I’m not wording my question right.
Imagine that I’m asking whether you like blue more or green more. I’m not asking you what your favorite color is, or what color you’d paint your car, but generally which one of those two colors you tend to see yourself liking more.
I’m not asking anyone to strictly identify with one or the other. It’s a question of where on the spectrum between them you fall.
I am more of a big picture person and my partner is more of a details first person.
Perfect reply… 😂
I like to pull back a little and see my life from a 3rd person every now and then, while trying to keep a logical and optimistic mindset.
It’s gotten me through a lot in the last 5+ years.
I came to post the exact same sentiment.
Will be enlightening if not predictable to see which states take the money.
