I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.
I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

My years in middle and high school were rough for a lot of reasons. The last thing I needed were adults telling me “these are the best days of your life!”. That was the most demoralizing thing I could have imagined back then.
Once I was 18 and in control of my life, things got so much better. There have been different chapters, but they’ve all been good or at least memorable in their own way.
What I would (and have) told kids who are clearly having a rough time is that things can and will get better. When you’re a kid, and bad situations that are entirely out of your control to change are happening, life can be miserable. Eventually you get some agency, and that goes a long way. Sometimes as an adult, things come and happen too, but telling a kid who is currently miserable to look forward to something better is a lot more helpful. Barring some outside tragedy, life as an adult is much less grinding than being a kid shaped cog.

And the full quote is: “Shotguns such a diverse platform. They are used by hunters, breachers, and sad musicians everywhere.” Which was a moment with a pause before moving on.
But if it is collecting data on how to recommend video just to the account that is only used for YT, it seems like it is well partitioned.
Why deactivate recommendations instead of being logged into YouTube using an email that exists only for the YT account?

I tagged it for any mild spoiler value it might have. You can of course, simply click to see it.

His childlike wonder and excitement is infectious. Just like whatever I caught from that minotaur.
No he wasn’t.
Heh. You made me use ten percent of my power, pretty good.
In my experience, the people who told me high school was the best time had very boring adult lives.
I imagine the people who said this probably did have a fantastic time in high school. Probably to the point they ended up socially aimless afterward.
Perhaps I’m just over imagining, but I picture them reminiscing about scoring two touchdowns in a single high school game. The kind of people who post about high school memories on Facebook.
