It’s your argument.

You aren’t wrong, but I’m hoping for more institutional changes to the way we determine what helps the next generation learn.

There are also side effects to quitting after prolonged use.

I, too, arbitrarily hate things.

That’s incredible. Both of those apps INSTANTLY became so much worse after they were bought out.

Reading comprehension is fucked.

Yeah, it had medical applications “just like” morphine. It isn’t “just like” morphine. Fucking hell.
