Who's talking about performance? It looks bad by today's standard, and that's okay. Not everything ages gracefully.

I dont know about CRT as I dont have any, but in my screen looks ugly. How would a CRT screen make it look any better?

As someone who's pre-18, without the nostalgia bias, I couldn't find the website any uglier, but the guestbook part... That was cute.

You're entirely relying on a false dichotomy and an unsupported causal chain, assuming (without evidence!) that unions inherently reduce efficiency, slow growth, and lower living standards. The fact is that there's evidence that unions can correct power imbalances, raise wages, reduce inequality, and even support long-term productivity and social stability

> Once an event crosses a threshold (maybe 70%?) of male-or-female dominance, most people of the other gender are likely to decline (or just not-come to your next party) as a result.

This is not true for men.

Imo it's not just about being functional so I can get work done. It's also about enjoying what I'm doing and having aesthetic tools is important to me. It's still functionality the most important? Yes. Do I prefer non-ugly tools to ugly tools even if I had to trade a bit of functionality for a lot of prettiness? Yes, every single time (as long as I can still get done what I need to get done, ofc)
