    Yeah my childhood sucked, and knowing I’d have another 12 years of abuse with nobody taking me seriously because I’m a kid? No thanks. I could put $10mil to good use right now.

      Mine sucked too but I’m trans and would kill to have known that information from the getgo rather than finding out in my 20s

      I’m really sorry to hear that you had to go through that, and you can tell me to fuck right off if you don’t want to think about it, but you got me wondering.

      Do you think if you went back, you could use what you know today to prevent/avoid it and see how that changes your life?

      My childhood also sucked, but I’d go back.

      My parents weren’t monsters, they were flawed people doing what they thought was best… If I could go back and clearly assert myself and my needs? Especially with what I know now?

      I’d take that deal.

      Not too mention, I’m a programmer. I know every major advancement we’ve made in the past decades…If I designed a language in the early 00’s, I would be worshipped by all programmers. I could’ve made Uber when the iphone launched, and never took a dime in investments. I’d also jump forward AI tech by a couple decades - I could make the world unrecognizable. I’d be a household name, although I’d probably use a pseudonym
