Having Ally McBeal flashbacks.

I tried watching that a few years ago, and had to stop almost immediately. I mean, what was going on with those random hallucination cuts?! No explanation or anything, it just cuts to her falling into a big wine glass, or something like that out of nowhere. Also it was too geared towards Gen X humor for me (which feels very dated. See Friends and its “haha because gay” jokes)

In all fairness, we genXers were raised by extremely anti-gay parents and Ronald Reagan. Most of us eventually got over it and don't find the "because gay" humor funny at all anymore.

I'll admit to making some heartfelt apologies in adulthood to some gay high school classmates. I said some pretty nasty shit back then. I just didn't know any better until I got a few years under my belt and found some gay friends with enough patience to explain certain things to me in college.

Hello all you gentlemen.

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US

Someone set us up the bomb!

Edit: someone already said this quote. May I suggest:

"You have no chance to survive, make your time"

What happen?

Web 2.0 happened :/

It centralized control to a few large corporations and lowered the barrier to entry for users such that everything became a popularity contest for eyeballs. TikTok, reddit, facebook, youtube, instagram, OF, its all a brainless race for engagement

I kinda miss having to visit individual websites to see if they posted any new content/videos. Newgrounds, Squirrelly, Homestar Runner, Stickdeath, thebestpageintheuniverse. Just going to check was part of the fun.
