I feel the same. I don't have everything I want in life but I heard somewhere, "Some are late bloomers, but everyone, blooms."

Teacher here. I would say that the idea of innocence comes from kids being a blank slate. Kids aren't typically inherently mean but are heavily affected by their surroundings and who they learn from. It's not always the same for every kid but bad environment is going to produce a kid that is angry and mean that will lash out at others.

I wouldn't agree with the idea that schools are cesspools and every kid is awful to each other. Every school is so different and I would say that at my school only 5% of kids are actually mean with malicious intent. Some don't know better and will learn as they grow and most are genuinely good little people.

The tough part is that my parents are on my Spotify family plan and not tech savvy at all to use anything that I would self host. I know I can patch Spotify app and self host content on my PC but there's no way they could troubleshoot anything if something broke. For them Spotify works and me not using my own Spotify account isn't going to accomplish anything even if I disagree with the companies decisions. I like Spotify and would like to keep using it because I have found lots of new music through it but it's a tough spot. Companies take advantage of users that don't know how to do anything else.

Walking the family dog after downloading the freshly released Trance Around the World by Above and Beyond weekly podcast onto my iPod is a very nice memory.

Man, I've been using it for a long time. I was going to buy the forever sub a while ago and never did. When did it jump to $42. I could've sworn it was like 20.

It was an abbreviated content release but they went through all of cata and just recently released MoP.

You were not joking, that write up is huge and in depth.

Taste the beast!

I wasn't that young, maybe 8 but that movie still fucked me up. The hospital scene with the stuffed animals coming alive and breaking apart was and is super scary.

I have bought sets from https://typemachina.com/collections/keysets. They used to be called Originative but changed the name at some point. Keysets can be really really expensive. Like $125 you wait months for that is essentially plastic but it's made in a specific factory in Germany lol But, there are lots of cheap sets too. mechanicalkeyboards.com is another place that should have more affordable sets. Just make sure you choose the right layout and get the correct amount of keys for your board. There are artisans too and you can spend lots of money on a single key that is a piece of art.

I watched the interview with the kid they, "adopted" and it's so sad.
