Did girls actually wear those huge ugly Peggy Hill boots in the 90s?

Yes, they are called Doc Martens and they were huge with counter-culture type chicks back then.

I'm actually gay so whatever but those waffle stompers were before my time, thank god. Only goth people wore stuff like that by the mid 00s. Also 90s grunge is way better than goth poo poo from what I have seen.

Listen here, funnyman!
watching people try to explain 90s cartoons is like watching your stoner friend talk about...anything

you kind of want to know, but the sheer attitude displayed makes you glad 9/11 happened.

Trent was just supposed to be the unreachable pedestal boy for Daria so it doesn't matter if he wasn't made to look like a douche or even overly fleshed out. They could've easily made him skeevy if it was what they were going for, there were plenty of skeevy characters on Daria. Like that weird little red headed dude everyone hated. He was just meant to be the really cool guy who was the only one Daria would lose her composure around. She didn't have to learn a lesson about how he was a douche, he was already flawed in that he was lazy and aimless and probably not going anywhere in life.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

if you're unable in any way to sympathize with daria, you probably peaked in high school

The evolution of the forums has been from goons being daria to goons being Daria but being self aware and self hating.

i think this is backwards. goons seem far more cynical and far less aware of their cynical nature than they used to be

wonder what show i enjoyed that i wasn't supposed to next week?

Bingo. She's correct a lot of the time but no one gives a gently caress because she's callous and has no interest in making others look good unless they can invalidate her cynicism about the world which is fundamentally impossible. That central angst is like tattooed on the inside of every Goon's right ventricle.

If you were a teenager when this show was on, you were probably like "Oh man, Daria's right everybody is a bunch of phonies."

But if you are a goddamn grown up now, rewatch the show, and think she is anything but a miserable loser, you've got some developmental problems, pendejo.

maybe if you forget how much of high school really was bullshit. imo parents forget that school is like prison and then are shocked when teens act just as angsty as they did. a couple decades removed from it wipes that from your mind and it doesnt seem so bad

esp considering by the time ppl have teens theyve had a lot more years getting poisoned by chemtrails and brainwashed by television commercials, so they dont realize their kids arent as much of sheeple and are less willing to put up with it

i think she's a pretty normal teenager actually, and her reactions to her suburban, vacuous environment are not an inaccurate depiction.

daria's acerbic nature is played up a bit for comic relief, it's not meant to be real. it's just a show dude calm down

Doesn't wipe poo poo, you grow up and realise that being an adult is a lot worse, fortunately you can always become an alcoholic, a drug addict or just kill yourself.
