just some plain cranberry juice, please.
when I was a kid, whenever my parents would bring me to restaurants or events they would let me have a bit of cranberry juice with carbonated water.

Christina's questions for December 🤔
In 1925 they had wind-up gramophones. I like the low-tech nature of a gramophone. The sound isn't great, but you've traded that for simplicity. You don't leave it on all day: you play a song or two, then you do something else. Music is more of an event. At a National Trust house a few years ago I watched a teenager playing 78s on such a gramophone. I asked "Did they give you training on how to use that?" I was joking because how could anyone not know how to use it? She said "Yes."

Many people would think that we are going towards 1984 as we speak. However, I do not believe entirely that our society will go only to that direction. Age restriction is good on paper, but on practice just restricts what we can see, but also puts social media companies and the tech companies underlying them on lots of pressure. If some governments try to set up age verification, then in the best case, some competent tech companies would just file million dollar lawsuits. So it’s not entirely going to happen, there will be pushback by some companies.
( A reflection and Future of ) LQ’s account of the end
I am a bit conflicted if i should continue on.In one way, i’m basically adding a story line to an audio experience, but also fictionally giving a terminal disease. A disease that breaks your brain.I had multiple ideas on how to do it. But, im not sure on how to incoperate it properlyI dont want to put too much pressure on the characters and make them suffer. I am not a monster by doing that.
