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.

Yeah they've kinda learned that they are safe in Rocky Mountain National Park and in Estes so they're chill. Still wild animals though and I wouldn't really wanna be that close to one like in the picture.

Hell yeah. Lemme put on my hacker glasses and sideload some shit.

Teacher here. My school uses everything Chrome OS and locks the ability to install extensions or other browsers. It's not always us.

This is me too. I completely have the know-how to obtain any media but I still pay for Spotify. I have a shared plan with my parents. It's literally my only subscription. I listen to music constantly. Even with the price hikes it's been a huge value.

Taste the beast!
