Some other stuff:
-- ATRL was pretty juvenile about homosexuality when I was initially around, but the fact that I'm seeing an ATRL Drag Race in one of these Games forums? I'm going to guess that attitudes have evolved at least somewhat. Lots of gay slurs back in the AIM chat days when **** got heated.
-- Gather 'round, children: TRL was a show that had 10 great moments that you've already seen a billion times on YouTube or MTV specials. The Damien Fahey era sucked, sucked, sucked. Carson was the best host, Dave Holmes was pretty good too. That's all you really need to know.

Wait, my impact. 
This site is literally gay now. Changes is like one of three straight people here. I don't get how this happened.

There's always a damn tornado warning but it never actually affects my city outside of some storm, and at most, power outages. The small outlier towns get the short end of the stick. Boston, right? Lucky bitch.

Do y'all hate Justin Bieber too, or do you kind of overlook his flaws in light of the fact he's like 10% of your economy nowadays?

It's really, really, really not like that We're just like any other place in US, some places even more advanced. I live in the city though so perhaps in the suburbs it's a little quiet but nothing super isolated as most believe.
Justin Bieber is not a topic here, we just don't care for him.

I live in the suburbs, but yes. There was a tornado like 2 weeks ago in Western Mass
There was actually a tornado in a city like 15-20mins away from Boston last year

Is it literally full of waterfalls?
I wish I lived in Canada, or Sweden, or some place like that. My country is so dull.

The gay community was such an abstract thing to us at the time. We were mainlining MTV programming where gay influence was only really seen on the Skinemax-esque show Undressed, everything else just kinda painted gay as bad, so it was the go-to insult. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the stuff in the first few pages of No Holds Barred goes that direction. I know I said some nasty **** in my day just because I was surrounded by a lot of people that got very, very angry at times. It was a young angsty time.
