UK here, 'year of 2022'. My school which is bulldozed now to make way for a trendy 'academy', was pushing the America style graduation in year 11 (non UK context - the last year of high school. We usually didn't "graduate' at the end of the final school year, you would just get your certificates and go join the workforce at 16, or attend optional further education)

We had a prom, to which I did not go. It was all very cringey to me. Kids in my school were already throwing house parties and getting drunk. Why would they need a soft-drink fuelled school disco? A lot of my year didn't attend. We also had that school's first ever yearbook. Not sure if it continued.

It's probably more ubiquitous now.

And if you don't have Premium (or just love audiobooks I'm general, wishlist the item on chirpbooks.com and when it goes on a 30-day sale you'll get notified, where you can then buy it for like 90% off. I love this service and it has changed the way I consume audiobooks. Like audible without the membership.

it's currently US$18.99 down from $20 if you have no Spotify and are unable to wait it out.

I just noticed the middle tines of the fork are snapped off, allowing for easy insertion.

I wouldn't say I despise them, but the other negative emotion I have is feeling depressed at having been a burden that they decided they wanted, of their own free will, to help me. I hate it, it's so backward. It becomes a spiral of feeling melancholic for no reason and it just becomes a depression feedback loop.

Toe fur

Maybe I did know, but nobody cared enough to call attention to it, so I forgot; and then I forgot that I forgot. MIB-style.

Three decades I've had this name and only now am I noticing that.

I can I can't??

Feels weird giving stories like this an updoot.

+1 for Bitwarden here. One day I will go down the self-hosted route.
