I don't know if you've used an iPhone, but do you really think AT&T's walled garden would have anything approaching the quality of the best apps on the App Store?

It sucks but this is the way we're heading. I'm not sure web devs will even be writing HTML in 5 years beyond adding a canvas tag.

People aren't reading books with bad info, they're reading Facebook posts and random blogs.

I don't know if all Best Buy locations were like this, but for seemingly every artist that was signed to a label, they had their full discography + singles with amazing b-sides + even imports from Japan (imports cost like $20 though). Just aisle after aisle, so much music to buy and making really hard decisions about what's going to fit in my budget.

The smaller and more popular RAV4, Rogue, CR-V, Escape, etc aren't mentioned here. Comparatively, nobody buys Tahoes and Sequoias.

One of my biggest dreams is to move back down south (because fuck winters here), but I've gotten so accustomed to having good public transit and the possibility of living (and not struggling) without a car.

A child also can't understand when their impulse to follow impulse is harmful. Someone should be interrupting with what you call a poor attitude.

She was an exceptionally loud baby, just constant stream of (non-crying, mostly happy chatter) noise coming from her mouth and we encouraged it by talking to her like a normal adult, and eventually those sounds turned into syllables, words, then sentences, and she's entering teenhood now, and she literally has not shut up except to sleep.

I'm an extrovert myself so she probably inherited it from me, and maybe our engagement with her from infancy is only partially responsible, but spending an entire day with her is mentally exhausting.
