Blockbuster used to have the unlimited game pass. I had a 1st gen portable cd burner so I would rent PS1 and Dreamcast games, go to my car, burn them then return them and get another.

Because it is faster to go buy something from a store than it is to wait several days/weeks/months to ship something. That started to change only when shipping times got down two 2 days and less and when the breadth of stores to order from became comprehensive. Same reason streaming beats theaters. The convenience provided by the technology is too great.

>On December 9, 1993, and March 4, 1994, members of the combined United States Senate Committees on Governmental Affairs and the Judiciary held congressional hearings with several spokespersons for companies in the video game industry including Nintendo and Sega, involving violence in video games and the perceived impacts on children
>The hearings, led by Senators Joe Lieberman and Herb Kohl, put the video game companies to task for the realistic depiction of violence in video games, and threatened that Congress would take action to regulate the industry if they did not take steps themselves

>>200590215
And that's why stores still exist and the world isn't just covered in warehouses. But it's not meaningfully faster and so it becomes a much more attractive option for things you don't literally need now. And even then, same day delivery or order pick up exists for nearly anything you need right now. There are far fewer reasons, today, to physically visit a store, and that's why things like malls, niche shops, and large deparment stores have taken the hit they have. This is all enabled by technology that didn't exist (or was vastly less efficient) 20 plus years ago.

>>200590487
Your entire rebuttal was about shipping taking too long. If that is the concern as you said the best and fastest way is to go now and the sears catalog wasn't that much of a difference either like a week or two. People used to be able to wait a week just fine. The reason people won't go to malls is because they are day care centers for brown teens and in big cities like NYC, LA and San Fran big box retailers are leaving due to retarded democrat laws and policies when it comes to shop lifting. Democrats are making everything worse but as I said in my first post Republicans are letting them and taking kick backs so they deserve blame too

My entire rebuttal is that it's easier today to order things than it used to be. Nobody goes to malls because the only attraction was to be able to able to visit a bunch of shops in a single trip. The internet makes that convenience factor obsolete. This is trivial, anon. I don't know why you're disputing this. The notion that online shopping is not easier and more convenient than catalogue orders multiple decades ago, and that consumers don't value that convenience, is retarded.

It was easy before too. Only 1 extra step and that was going on the phone calling someone to take your order.

Way to ignore my point about liberal policies shutting down big box retailers.
>>
>>200591713
You had to flip through pages and pages of physical catalogues, note down product skus, call or mail in payment, wait multiple weeks. It is absolutely not as easy as online shopping with search functions and the ability to save cart contents and to quickly compare prices at other retailers and quick delivery and free returns. Again, this is trivial. Why insist on announcing yourself as retarded?

I didn't ignore your shoplifting argument. It simply isn't relevant. A minority of box stores shutting down in certain specific markets because their margins were too low to survive an increase in loss due to theft has nothing to do with the universal change across the nation in how modern shopping has changed. Technology is what has changed it.

https://nypost.com/2024/05/18/us-news/theft-plagues-nyc-retailers-drugstores-closing/
This is just NYC. This is also 100% due to liberal laws about bail reforms. These stores would exist if not for the left including stores in other states and this is just drug stores. The same is happening to Target and other stores. If not for the left social cohesion all across this country would not be breaking down.

By the way malls in "affluent" areas aka white are actually doing well because these places are not littered with blacks and spics constantly shop lifting

No, the argument was that people do less in person shopping today than they did 24 years ago. Well, no shit. There were also fewer people talking to each other online. What a revelation.
>This is just NYC. This is also 100% due to liberal laws about bail reforms
Exactly, this is just New York City and this is just within the last few years. The trends we are talking about started well before this and affect the entire nation. They are not limited to specific markets.

On the topic of why people shop less in person than they did 24 years ago, theft downplays itself. The impact is clearly negligible on the scale we're talking.
>Shoplifting incidents reported to police have rebounded since falling dramatically in 24 large American cities during 2020. But whether the overall tally is up or down compared with pre-pandemic levels depends on the inclusion of New York City. With New York’s numbers included, reported incidents were 16% higher (8,453 more incidents) in the study cities during the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2019; without New York, the number was 7% lower (-2,552 incidents).
It is only in certain markets that you are seeing this this trend. Shoplifting does not account for the broader change in shopping trends.

im so tired of these fucking nostalgia threads. im so tired of having to remember how my only life memories even from childhood revolve aroun television bullshit. yeah great, january 1 2000. i was 8 years old and was actually a happy child, blissfully unaware of how horrific my life would become.

i wish my 8 year old self could see me now as a 32 year old with no friends, kissless virginity, no career, still living with parents, and absolutely zero positive to reflect on in three decades of life. might be the youngest ever suicide to prevent the following 25 years of misery.

i'm tired of them because blockbuster fucking sucked. never anything in stock, entire walls for fucking jerry macguire, all rented out of course, and then suddenly they want to sell brutalized VHS copies of it for $30, then $20, then, THEY'RE ALL IN THE FUCKING DUMPSTER BECAUSE ITS BETTER TO JUST WRITE OFF THE LOSS OF THE BILLION COPIES THEY ORDERED THAN IT IS TO JUST FUCKING SELL THEM AND ITS ALSO A FUCKING CRIME TO JUST GET THEM OUT OF THE DUMPSTER

Caroline in the City
I remember those kinds of shows kept up for awhile from the 90s. It was like an actress that was big in the movies gets some quirky sitcom where they are navigating this single life craziness. Like your Cybill, Suddenly Susan,and Caroline in the City.
Want a job and can't get movie roles again? Get in a sitcom.

2: You store the nuclear waste in your living room and we'll call it a deal.
