The internet in the 90s was too shit to handle pictures much less download that many albums at once. Napster and Kazza weren't even around at this point.

I think it was more like they were fighting and she was threatening to smash his stuff out of anger rather than for religious reasons, he was always fighting with his mom even though she spoiled him and bought him everything he asked for. He eventually asked them back and i gave them to him without asking much about it.

I'm autistic so being in a public school with thousands of people that I've had barely enough space for myself and all the noises around me struggle to think critically and clearly. In my classes I gotten a lot of C's, D's, and F's. Only my second semester of my senior year in 2016 I had an online class I did in my resource class where it was an online class through the school. Not only did I get all A's and B's, but I finished the whole classes only halfway through the end of the year of my senior year and finished school earlier than everyone else. I got a 2.4 GPA and I got a high school diploma.

If I was born like 3-4 years later, I would have had this technology and ways to learn and probably finish everything in two years and easily could have had a 3.5+ GPA. I was robbed of my full potential because my autistic brain learned different than everyone else who didn't have autism. Felt like I was robbed of actually getting good grades because they didn't have the right resources for me to succeed.

Didn't go to college but I've gotten a resume and jobs for working music venues and right now I'm working at one specifically doing housekeeping and I make 16 dollars an hour and I get to work independently since I'm the only one doing it during the day and don't have to deal with crowds. I have a band with an album out two years ago and a redux album coming up later this. I'm pretty proud of what I accomplished in life since I didn't go to college and gotten a low GPA.

One time our school was in a lockdown because a kid was throwing chairs at the teachers. I don't know is he has autism or something, but he definitely has anger issues.

Once in show and tell (I think it was show and tell), that same kid said "My grandma took away my GTA disc. What a whore!". He said that. In the classroom.

I had something similar at my secondary school. Some kid got pissed off and ended up shoving one of the school TV trollies across the room.

Now all the grown-ups here will remember school TVs being those boxy fuckers that weigh a ton, so when the trolley hit the wall, the TV didn't stop and went flying through the window, crashing to the ground.

Sad thing is that wasn't even the main playground gossip that day as some kid had been rushed to hospital because he got kicked in the dick so hard that his vas deferens had wrapped around one of his testicles and was now strangulating it.

In HS tennis, the class clown would draw the doubles teams having sex on the bus ride to meets, drawing the participants as exaggerations of themselves. Coach caught him the fourth time and vowed us to never speak of it.

My third grade teacher used to openly drink Wild Turkey 101 in front of the class from a metal flask. As long as she didn't get too obviously drunk and didn't leave the bottles lying around, nobody higher up gave a shit.

I only found out because I glanced over at her desk after completing an English test earlier than the rest of the class. She always told the class that she drank coffee or apple juice from the flask, depending on what time of day they asked.

Going to a trashy hillbilly school in coal country was crazy like that.

There were plenty of porn archives at the time, you'd just have to download from dodgy Finnish ftp sites or irc bots or binary newsgroups on Usenet. What wasn't available was the mass ripping of entire albums, although again, there were fairly substantial libraries on irc channels on EFnet and Undernet.

By 1997 there were also huge web archives like mp3.com that more or less just openly pirated audio, inspiring things like Napster. I believe Napster was specifically inspired by irc bots, particularly to get everything in one place (big mistake) because otherwise piracy involved a lot of laborious sifting through irc channels with virtually no security.

Most of these involved a direct client-to-client (DCC) protocol connection which involved letting some sketchy bot have your IP address and directly serve the file. This used to be a good way of getting a bunch of bots together for a DDoS especially with clients with widespread known vulnerabilities like mirc.

Anyway, you could do this stuff if you knew what you were doing but in the early '90s mp3s weren't really a thing (even though mp3 dates all the way back to 1991) and straight up full rips of CDs were completely impractical.

And even if you were someone who could deal with mp3s the likelihood of rips actually being out for whatever you wanted was low other than the most popular things of the day and weird stuff like Grateful Dead bootlegs, which were absurdly popular on early Usenet for some reason (John Perry Barlow of the founding of the EFF was actually a lyricist for the Dead as an example).

I was like 9. I wasn't going to figure all that out and even if i did and somehow my connection speed allowed it , ipod was also a few years away so i would still have prefered something i could listen on my discman.

What me and a couple friends did do a lot was go to a couple of street vendors and buy burned cds. Those were pretty cheap, like less than a dollar. Had a bunch of pirated albums from the shittiest metal bands because we just went by edgy cover art. We would buy like 5 each and hope they weren't all duds, then we would trades the ones we like around with each other. It was fun.

When I was 15 a girl two years younger got gangraped in a supply closet, by boys in her year. It didn't really sink in how fucked up it was until now, I never knew how it ended up, but they were all so much younger that I didn't know the victim, or to notice anyone who could've done it disappear. I had completely forgot it happened until now.

I wish I could say she fought the good fight, and the sisters let her be. But high school is no fairy tale. Sometimes she would come in with fresh bruises, she would never tell but we knew.

No real school stories aside from my time at university, which doesn't really count aside from the usual university stories everyone has.
Weirdest shit was being part of the university physics club, it was surprisingly comfy and the club got a small classroom to use as it deemed fit since it wasn't handicap-accessible and the university wasn't going to renovate it. We did have people on crutches every now and then and a guy who was in a wheelchair for a week as part of charity but there were always enough people hanging around to just lift the fucker, wheelchair and all, down some steps into the room. No real autism flare-ups since there were unofficial official rules to not play MTG or talk about politics in the room.

At one point I got an "executive" position as part of the people running the club (basically I just had to make two reports to the faculty every year, handle club finances, and do paperwork) but I also had to deal with the one requisite drama episode every semester. During my first semester in that position one of the female members came up to me saying that another member was being super fucking creepy to her. Everyone knew this guy because he was literally an autistic nigger. Dude had full-blown asperger's, but good intentions. So I took him aside, and told him that I'd gotten that complaint. He seemed shocked - he genuinely didn't know his behavior was being perceived as creepy because he was too autistic to pick up on social cues. So I laid it out for him as if I were trying to make a programming script. Doing this and that in these contexts is creepy, doing this and that in those contexts is not, etc etc. If he had any questions, just ask someone he trusts. And if someone tells him he's being creepy, they're not doing it out of malice. He took it well and I spent the next week quietly just telling everyone in the club that if he's being creepy then they should tell him exactly why and he'll stop.

Well don'tchaknowit by the time I graduated a year later the kid was almost a functional member of society and I didn't hear any complaints at all about him again.

It was very much an exception since he was the type of aspie who you could just teach about social conventions and he'd put up a pretty convincing simulacra of being socially competent. It really worked well in the context of the physics club because telling a bunch of physics majors that they have a pet aspie they can literally program into good manners was giving them a certain amount of social power they always lacked.

I knew this scenefag emo girl in high school who claimed that she dated the drummer from this shitty screamo band called Eighteen Visions when she was only 15 and the guy was like 28, but she lied about her age and told him she was 18 even tho she looked nowhere close to 18. She told me the guy's name to which I don't remember since this was about 15 years ago, but I looked the band up back then and it turned out they never had a guy with that name in the band.

I went to middle school with this dipshit kid who claimed that he had N64 games that weren't even out yet since his "uncle worked at Nintendo" or some bullshit like that, and he said that he already had the third Mario Party game when the first one had just came out. I told him to prove it by bringing the games to school which of course he never did.

Around the same time I knew this kid named Corbin (who honestly names their kid that?) who told me his friend let him borrow his Pokemon Red game (I guess his friend didn't mind him overwriting his save file lol) and he told me his favorite Pokemon was "devildog". I told him there was no Pokemon in the game called that but he kept insisting that there was and it was "one of the Pokemons you find in the first town" but I told him he was being re.tarded since there was nothing like that in the game but he kept insisting there was and he even described it to me but it just sounded like some stupid shit he made up.

I'm sure everyone knew someone who knew how to find "secret Pokemon" that weren't in the games back in the Gen 1 days.
