The part I remembered vividly was the plane rapidly descending towards us as I got a window seat on the left side and that's when I saw the plane coming down only for it to pull up at the last second.

You'd get away with way more in that era than in this era even if you were wealthy in this era because you'd be a target for all kinds of people.

That's rough. I'd assume you weren't wearing a helmet right?

From what exactly - your parents/relatives or other persons?

My point exactly - my mom is also terrified of the water and I know a few other female relatives who have that same fear.

I was kind of referring to an office job in this case. I knew every trick in the book on how to run down time. Just save off a few minutes here and there and before you know it adds up to 3 hours gone.

Fair enough response.

It's true - hell even when you aren't you still have some extremely toxic family members that you'd much rather avoid any contact with.

Up to 12 years old.

If you can't swim in it like McScrooge swims in money, it's definitely not enough.

I do that to most other people that I don't want to interact with - I just pretend like they're not even there.

Perfectly understandable given your situation but majority of the kids I knew who grew up as one was spoiled beyond belief.

That's a fair point actually but I'm talking about not being invulnerable while invisible. If I had that, I'd definitely choose the invisibility. The issue is that being invisible makes you susceptible to more man-made accidents as opposed to if people even saw you.

I just install Qubes the other day on my VM so I'm learning how to use it and it's pretty intuitive and more privacy focused.

I'm talking about creating your own cloud and syncing data from there to multiple other devices...

Same here - there are certain things that I want to find out about and Google tries to censor some of the answers while allowing others.

Firefox is a pretty versatile browser that can be extensive customized for your personal online needs. Portable Firefox is a pretty useful tool to have on your flash drive so that when you go to a computer cafe, you can just pull it up and use a secure browser that you trust.

Yeah Gmail is pretty versatile but the issue I have with them is that they can easily be hacked if you're not careful.

Yeah - they were talking about bumping up Ipads to 720p resolution and it was revolutionary at the time. Nowadays, almost everyone would laugh at you for that.

I hope it stays that way because most companies would start acting like Intel once they have no competition. Just pumping out negligible upgrades every year.

Back in the days, that wasn't much of an option because of how their controllers were constructed.

It's just general online politics is quick to call everything "sexist" nowadays and I've seen way tamer than this get a lot of heat.

The concept and what it was trying to achieve is visible for all to see but the execution was horrid to say the least. They should've taken a couple more years to polish the game and it' would've been amazing.

I only ever did Star Wars Battlefront and that was the first and last time I'll ever pre-order a game. I almost pre-ordered Cyberpunk 2077 but I stuck to my guns at the alst minute and I'm glad I did.

And the amount of scams have significantly increased over the years. That's why I won't back any games nowadays no matter how much they try to market their game's "innovation".
