Natalie Portman keeps bringing up the men in her life to Jonathan Safran Foer in the super pretentious email exchange they published.

I love this so much. Again, probably fake, but the idea of a teen frantically batting away at her refrigerator before mom comes back into the kitchen always puts a smile on my face.

Just lmao if your first way of accessing the web privately, without using your family pc wasn't the web browser of your Wii. Videos would often not even load properly and typing anything was a pain in the rear end while you gotta point and click every single letter, but at least you didn't need to worry about family looking over your shoulder at any time :v:

I was a grown rear end man when I first saw early SA and thought it was just a pile of monkeycheese. Maybe I didn’t try hard enough but checking back in years later it seemed like the kids had grown up enough for me to handle.

I downloaded porn from bulletin boards using a dial-up modem well before the Internet was a thing.

We had a 300 baud modem on our C64, but there wasn't much out there except for Compuserve chat rooms at the time.

With a 1200 baud modem on an 8088 a few years later things were already getting porny in the pre-Internet days.

i used to hang with euronymous on the old #somethingawful irc channel that bobby the sperm whale stole/squatted. anyone know if there's anything saga-worthy in the story of #somethingawful? all i can recall is that it was semi-official for a bit, then bobby got banned and it became some sort of proto-offsite but with much less doxxing and more cliffyb using a creative slurmanteau to insult my username.

When I was a kid you used the web privately by starting up a second instance of NCSA XMosaic configured to bypass the family Squid proxy.

synirc, the DC hubs, and various teamspeak servers as proto offsites is a very dusty and boring era of SA drama history. everything stupid that happened there eventually filtered back to the forums. probably the most egregious thing was the creation of 4chan from a cultural exodus of anime posters seeking refuge for 2d titty pics

My Wii was in the middle of the living room, which since my parents decided walls were for suckers, basically meant it was visible from every part of the house, so that wasn't exactly a winning strategy :v:

That browser was great for playing flash games with a wiimote, though.
