I am a bit confused, you are talking about some other type of disk.

I looked it up and apparently CD preceded VHS and Betamax so I can see how someone who needed or wanted to record and store media files would dish out that kind of money, especially if it was for a business or something

Pretty sure that's factually incorrect. And 'having children' =/= 'being in a relationship'. Not everyone was married. Lots of our ancestors had bastards/were affair partners/victims of sexual assault. And lots of ancestors gave their kids up/walked out of relationships. Forced procreation is a thing and I'm willing to bet lots of our ancestors had urges to be single and childless. I think you're misusing the word 'urge'.

Can't be true because I can't see any use of buying like that.

There are, there is no deny on that, but the numbers are less.

ah, but is it bigotry or satire.

You aim at the center, but the point isn't to hit the center. Specially if you're practicing something that's used to hit people. Hit the center and hit the area around it gives the same reward

Ours was a few years later, I surfed through Kodak's lineup and I think we had a DC240. Its form factor is similar to the DC25, but it had a zoom lens and of course better resolution.

Reading through this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodak_DC_Series it sounds like your DC25 came out before JPEG was really accepted as a standard -- today it seems like JPEG was always there. Wild.

I think the usage of "female" as a noun indicates the latter.

this pretty much sums up what I was about to type up

honestly, I have been in a crowd of people and been overwhelmed by the incredible fact that every single damn person in that crowd has a life just as detailed emotionally charged and important as the one I happened to be living, it's amazing that billions of stories are playing out right now on our little blue ball.

I honestly can't tell if this is a cutting critique against negative gender norms or just some sexist drivel.

welcome to 2023 I guess.

So you assume something is simple because you are not aware of specific complexities, even while you know that they may be there?

My great-grandmother was raped by Russian soldiers in WW2 and had a child, so...

I mean the romance between Ron and Hermione doesn't really start until the later books and even then it's pretty tame. On the other hand the 2 of them wouldn't shut up about Harry.

You may not have a full understanding of the history of reproductive autonomy (and the lack thereof)

If you mean just the one first page of each of those books and comic books, then wouldn’t it be a number equal to the number of books/comics?

If by “first pages” you mean the first few pages, then wouldn’t that be a finite multiple of the number of books/comics?

Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?

Well, in terms of the adventure, Ron was the third-wheel. He was always the sidekick, which was why he got pissed during the tri-wizard tournament.

Relationship-wise, Harry was the third-wheel. Having been relegated to the best friend's sister; while Ron, the sidekick, gets the leading girl.
