Scoff all you want, but I still buy music. I actually care that musicians get paid, and Spotify is lousy for that.

The 2010s were also a time for significant events that shaped the cultural landscape forever. Among them were the Black Lives Matter movement, which began in 2013 as a response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman, who was accused of fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.
It was also a time of political turmoil, especially in the United States when Donald Trump first took office in 2016. Many people describe it as “one of the most bitterly divided” political contests in the nation’s history.

Does it do anything useful? My iPad Mini (iOS 7) doesn't support SNI so most sites just don't work. And, well, good luck with the app store. The sad thing is that the hardware is fine, the battery is good. It has just been left behind.

Even though this is way after my childhood, I got to see some things I can relate to and forgotten about. It still doesn't feel that long ago.

I saw a commercial this morning that said "Since 1983" like it was saying they had been in business a long time. Sure that was a few years before my birth, but that actually hurt. XD
