Comment on Cable and movie rentals was probably the optimal amount of digital media for a functional society. Get rid of commercials and that was probably peak.

You pretty much just described my typical lower class American upbringing in the early 90s. Except the Rubik’s cube thing. Internet or not, somebody knew how to solve that thing. If you got bored enough, you played with it until it made sense

I didn’t get to meet many people because my parents think the there are kidnappers everywhere so I just got stuck at home beside school time…

I think during breaks, they sometimes take us back to one of the parent’s village, and there I remember we were allowed to run around since I assume everyone in the village knew each other and I remember hopping on to other people’s roofs with my older brother… I took a peek down the sky-window thing and saw spiderwebs in one of the houses… could be abandoned… idk…
