When I was at the age where computer class was being taught, I was already typing at a higher level. My parents had the entire Encyclopedia Britannica set and there were games on those discs that taught typing. I learned a lot at home because I wanted to long before the school started teaching it.

So me, grade 4 or 5, already typing at an accelerated level with my own middle-finger led typing technique I taught myself that worked perfectly for my (not yet disagnosed) ADHD-ass brain was literally forced, or I’d fail, to “home key learn” typing. So there’s me, my index fingers on F and J, typing out “sad lad sad lass dad lad” when I could already type complete paragraphs on a keyboard.

No, I don’t miss that shit. It was so degrading.

Yeah I don’t think you’re alone in any of that.

My dog gives hugs. If you get down on your knee, or if he’s on the bed to be tall enough, he’ll wrap his paws around your shoulders and pull you in. If you hug him back he’ll just stand there hugging you.
