This is where I hot my first porn back in the day. At first you could just download anything. Then they got smart and you had to upload pictures to their FTP to gain currency to download more. And you had no ideal what you were getting. Just a filename and a prayer it wasn't a dick.

A lot of the earlier seasons episodes were just about the kids being kids, south park style. The episodes were self contained, often contained within the town, and less of them were 'current'.
There are a huge difference between seasons 1-12 and 17-19. They really flipped the script on season 17. I actually found it a lot more comfy and entertaining than I do the latest episodes. But it's still pretty good.

If the RIAA didn't ignore Napster and record labels instead embraced or invested in the service, the entire music industry would be different today - and I guarantee that streaming would not be the standard of music procurement that it now is
This sounds like an overblown analogy, but much like global would be totally different if 9/11 didn't happen, the way we consume entertainment would be drastically different, and better, had the napster lawsuits never happened

I remember my first internet porn. It was 1995 or 96 i believe. My father was away for the weekend i was a sophmore or junior in highschool. I wasnt much interested in computers much at the time i spent most of my time innawoods or at the skatepark. Friend told me about AIM and that there were sluts and boobers available there. I took the dust cover off my pops computer and hit the space bar to wake it up. He had a bunch of windows open and the one that was on top of the pile had a woman in a dungeon somewhat strapped to a table....a midget enters the frame and puts his whole head into a terribly fake looking vagina and proceeded to "give her some head" even though the quality was terrible i was hooked and am now a complete degenerate
