"Unable to work because of it and subsequent injuries, she had long lived in poverty, sustained largely by the religion she had come to early in the decade."
I wonder what religion this is. One is quick to think Scientology, but to make such an assumption is too quick and heavy-handed I fear. It seems to be the best outcome, but not one that is pleasant at all.
It is not possible truly to know one way or another at a complete level, although it is unlikely. Saying they are not this powerful is, well, simply not true. It is not possible without creating a huge skunk-works internal project binding people to secrecy.
Google doesn't have the power to bind people to secrecy in the same way that say, the CIA, FBI, or NSA do. It does not mean that they do not have the capability of doing these things.
And yes, if content isn't on Spotify for me, it basically doesn't exist. If it's on Bandcamp maybe I will download it.
Spotify allows you to see songs that you have added that have been removed from availability as greyed-out names.

these are surprisingly common examples, being of lesser extremes. Varying capitalization and new lines are used as ways of carrying on a dialogue, instead of writing entire bubbles of text at once, producing the feeling of a conversation instead of reading e-mails. The second being an example of 'soprano-posting,' in which you use references to The Sopranos in an ironic manner. The first being a common conversation. Looking into the idea of trying to extract emotion from this accurately seems... impossible. Most of our writings are extremely foreign to those that aren't 'in the know' and seem almost hostile to one another, while in reality they aren't.I'm curious if there has been analysis on this type of writing in general. It feels so much more efficient than 'traditional' writing styles.
I never used it for anything evil per se, but I did unblock the football site we were told would be unblocked, and other sites that teachers were told would be unblocked but weren't. Problem was, when you signed in there was a nice box that said "Users Online" and showed their names. One day the DTC signed in as I was online and promptly the phone rang and I was told to take my hands away from the computer and walk to the office. I had to show her what I had done, and ended up being suspended from school computers for two weeks. I couldn't imagine the things I would be accused of if it happened today. Thank god I was a straight A student and favored by everyone in the community. I also had my Starcraft 2 collectors edition USB confiscated because I had the portable onion browser on it, and my friends called it the 'stick of freedom.' Imagine if the term darkweb was as highly villainized then as it is today.
I was lucky enough to start working with the school when I was 16 (now 20.) I remember the description of the look on the regional contact from the state when the DTC told him that the district had given me a key to the school and the equivalent of domain admin in our environment. Rightfully so, but I proved myself and my worth.
Bit long of a response for something so simple, and full of nostalgia as well. It's just a shame to see that curiosity and investigation is so heavily frowned upon.
Keeping the network healthy is one of the more interesting topics. Simulating a real network is the biggest thing. It's very easy to embed yourself, unless it is that closed of a network.
