And GOP politics.

It's odd, they do seem generally more inclusive and less cliquey, but humans are humans, and that means bullying still happens. The really intense stuff has been empowered by internet anonymity (or short of that, a lack of physical presence and the accompanying repercussions), perfect for your prototypical emotionally damaged coward of a bully.

For those who don't go nuclear, it seems like the main thing is exclusion, but it can be hard to decide when that moves from them simply associating with the people they want, to passive aggressive bullying. I'm sure the number of people cruelly left off the "new" group text for some bullshit reason is pretty large though.

I'd rather get anonymously told to kill myself than bashed on the way home from school every day.

"Boys will be boys"

"Just ignore them..."

I still remember when my brother called our radio station to see if they had the new Megadeth album that hadn't been released yet. On our tape, we got the DJ saying "And here's some new Megadeth for you off their new album Cryptic Writings. We're not even supposed to be playing this yet!"

In my mind, that's just part of the song now.

or, a live recording and then even the studio recorded version sounds off. It has to be that specific live performance

That's some serious early 2000's hacking that you had going on there.

Even over dial-up it was a matter of minutes. Like y'all were downloading mp3s and not WAVs, right?

Ehh why would I continue watching it for 4 more minutes

I learned in my late teens that the channels were scrambled by a little filter in the cable line at the main connector box on the street. So I removed mine, and then charged other people to unblock their cable. I subsidized my beer money for a while by going to people's houses, breaking into their cable boxes, and removing their filters. In my early 20's I managed to get my hands on some of the tags that the cable companies put on your cable line when it's supposed to be connected, and some black boxes, and then I charged people to hook up their free cable. It was a pretty rad gig for a while.

"Come on... I can almost see the nipple..."

Ah, memories...

But never to the end.

Haha, my dad used the computer for porn one time. He was completely tech illiterate and didn’t know it kept a record. Silly stuff like “titfucking.com” and “bigboobybikerchicks.com”. He just .com’d whatever crossed his mind.

He told my mom he only got on there to play space cadet pinball. He was seriously gonna let me and my brother take the fall. I don’t blame him though. My mom can be batshit crazy and porn to her would be no different than cheating.

My brother and I would have been nagged at and grounded. He had to go stay at my grandma’s for a month. Haha

God I was so mad that he tried to blame us. Like, yeah, I was looking at porn. I covered my damn tracks and don’t give a shit about big booby biker chicks.
