Ah, the golden years. My dad had a parental control software installed on the computer. Once I figured out how to bypass it, everything went downhill. But I think maybe I had some crossed wires, because once I learned that I could defeat that, I started to chase down what other things I could solve. And now I've got a nice cushy career IT adjacent -- smart enough to fix most 'while you're here' problems, but they're not my responsibility so if I don't have time, I can have the requestor submit a ticket and kick it off to the right department.

Because they have infinitely more time and resources to not only find you, but fuck you six thousand ways over AND thousands of much more intelligent individuals and sophisticated equipment to ensure that you'll not only find nothing of value, but also find yourself Mitnick-levels of banned from anything more technologically advanced than an abacus
