Using technology that still relies on SD cards

Fredrik Knudsen’s series Down the Rabbit Hole is seriously one of my favorite series of all time. He covers just a menagerie of obscure topics ranging from the Collyer Brothers to Chris Chan to the bizarreness of YouTube Kids channels and nostalgic early 2000s events like what happened to Spoony and DarkSydePhil and stuff about how fucked up behind the scenes of Neopets was and weird scientific stuff like Time Cube and TempleOS. You should definitely check him out I’ve been a huge fan for like 3 years now and his content is so addicting 

So, my dad from like the 60s-90s was one of the city’s biggest dealers. I specifically remember him in the early 2000s, when he wasn’t dealing so much anymore, some kids (like 20-25 year olds) were hiding out at the house while I (6-7 years old) was living there. That was the first big ‘noticeable’ experience I had with ‘criminals’. These people lived at dad’s house for a few weeks and for payment, they babysat me. I caught on that 2 of them had inactive warrants and were hiding from the courts and the other 3 were actively hiding from the cops because they were some of dad’s minor sellers, and fuck. Things like this make me realize how fucked up my own childhood was. However at the same time I’m thankful for it because I know to fucking hate cops and when to trust the crooked ones and how to just. Live while doing fucked up illegal shit while skirting the law in general.

And then I grew up and went into academia and holy shit was it a change of pace. There’s a major drug problem with students and of course there is, the shit we have to go through to remain on top of it all. I was fortunate enough to be one of the people that knew the underground bullshit to guide others that didn’t know what they were doing. In a way I’m kinda proud of it, having the background that I do, because academics are fucking hopeless when it comes to underground dealings and most of them are trust fund babies at worst. I was like a tour guide for it all, and I guess that’s my claim to fame in a way. My academic acomplishments mean a lot to me but what matters even more is what I came from and how I can utilize it for others in my field.
