    That’s something to read…

    I still remember little me coming home after school in France; my brother was watching the TV and explaining what happened. I just responded with “ok” like it was nothing

    I was an admin at the time and I had to implore people to not stream stuff on the web (It was a CS lab so we had better internet thatn most at the time) and that we had a tv setup in one of the rooms. Eventually I was asking people to stay home or go home before I finally did and watched tv all night long.
