On the other hand, appealing to the center hasn't been working for Democrats lately. If Crockett energized the base, the numbers could be there.

Plus a lot of us aren't comfortable perpetuating the racism/sexism by caving to it.

I'll vote for either candidate, but this idea that it's obvious Crockett could never win doesn't sit right with me.

My wife and I just had our third kid. We don't make nearly that much, but we're quite comfortable.

Keanu was famous, but the way I remember it he wasn't a huge box office draw yet.

The response in these comments is predictable, but there really has been a shift. Maybe it's just an extreme shift in the same direction, but something has changed.

Like a restaurant?

Um... how many levels are we doing?

Week? Yesterday my daughter and I rode bikes to her school in 30° and rode home in 73°. Choosing her outfits is very difficult this week.

Yeah, but what if I become famous for writing children's books one day? Then I'll feel like a dummy.

It's mostly visual for me. Like when a woman lifts her arms, it makes other things more appealing, so there's an association there.

On the lucky occasion I'm with a woman who doesn't shave, I just want to pet it, like if I could pet a squirrel. Like, what even is this? It's so rare and adorable.

Anyway it's times like this I think I should have an alt account on Lemmy.

In the shower? One.

In the bed? At least a three.

Sure, Sony "outlived" two minor competitors that were already failing when the PS1 released.

Much like how I outlived actor Carey Grant, who was 80 years old when I was born. That's definitely how I'd phrase that.

But hey, those examples were "just to name a few", so there must be more, right?

But seriously, the way your original comment was phrased makes it sound like Sony is some kind of console war juggernaut, outlasting its many competitors over decades. The reality is that Sega folded to Sony and Nintendo back in the early aughts, and then it was 25 stable years of having three big console makers, and that's it.

That's all I'm saying.

3DO and Atari were never really competitors. They were minor players in the console market that were already considered unsuccessful by the time the PS1 was released.

Sega is one company. Sony has outlasted one competitor, which makes it odd to say "yet another" almost 30 years later.
