I don't know how the mythology of suburbs being boring and safe happened. I dodged a few literal bullets and lived across the street from someone who had a dungeon.

@Zero_Democracy The suburbs I grew up in seemed boring and safe at the time, but I think it's far more likely that I was just a dumb kid with a nostalgic view of things and wasn't paying attention.

@Ulfra_Wolfe The most normal part of my experience: an elderly man wearing Speedos exclusively during warm weather. Odd, perhaps, but benign.
