AFK mom needs phone.
~♫Save me from the nothing I've become♫~
All those times I went link dead in Everquest from my grandma picking up the phone 
I used to roll up into aol chat rooms as a kid and get yelled at by retirees for being too young in the chat.

there's a show in Hulu with Maya Erskine and somebody else called PEN15 which is incredible all around as a comedy capturing the awkward stage of early adolescence, but also specifically in the early dialup internet era. it unlocked some very cringey memories in me I had buried, but is so funny it's worth it.
there's a whole episode on AIM that is hysterical and the way they portray themselves and the absurdity of peer groups at that age is nothing short of true genius.

Yes and I also remember that it was considered kind of a weird thing to do rather than something everyone does.
You’re right. I’m so used to it being normalized that I forgot there was a time when people got made fun of for doing it.
That and Bluetooth headpieces got mocked endlessly during the 2000s. Now everyone is wearing some kind of airpod style earbud with a buit in mic and Snapchating all kinds of pictures.
Those are still embarrassing, idgaf.
Furries went from pariah status to "these are the people keeping the internet functioning" status where only the moldiest chuds keep pouting about their existence, too.
They kinda represent the last vestige of the wild west Internet now that I think about it
They stopped using sexting ages ago and call it ERP (erotic roleplay) now. Sorry grandpa.
erp sounds like my reaction to accidentally walking in on the wrong chatroom, so i guess it's a fitting acronym
Enterprise Roleplay
Erotic Resource Planning
ERP (erotic roleplay)
not all sexting is roleplay
i put on my robe and wizard hat
God that really got my neurons firing
my friends sister got caught talking to some dude name longshlong69 or some shit lkke that at a 3rd friends house when we were about 14 lmao. the 3rd friends dad loved telling that story, was hilarious to him.
Kiddie creeper alert
nah i think he just thought it was a funny situation. Obviously whoever longshlong69 in this story was was probably a kiddie creeper though.
I feel like cybering is something you did with strangers on the internet and sexting is done with people you know and possibly have sex with IRL. but what do I know, I've never done either
feels weird to call it "sexting" if it's over discord or something and not SMS. but I guess nobody says "cybering" anymore so idk what it's called

Rule 34 was also called "Disney" since most of the adult fan art was of the princesses.
We were on different parts of the internet lol.
When I discovered porn on the webzone via a friend it ended a long crusade we used to have scouring the woods for porno magazines.
I'm a desert boy, I had to discover porn the modern way, via hours of unsupervised internet access starting at 12yo.
It's so fucking funny to me that searching the woods for porn mags is an experience so many kids had
Whomst among us hasn't cybered with their friends in Eversong Woods

I admit that I had more fun with it than I should have as a kid, and still get down sometimes with the modern equivalent.
