 was i dealing with some local hacker.  i had a bad feeling when i came back to the u.s. with my laptop and phone from china. geez.  i am serious.  i actually sold the laptop and then i remember trying to visit the store i sold it to sometime later , not that long, and it was gone or out of business.  at this point though, i didnt think about it until now, but would it have been out of business because of being in a different timeline.  i dont really believe in that theory. but yea, you may want to assume that i may have been seeing different things on the internet than you for 10 or more years.   i didnt really start to use the internet until 2015.  its kind of crazy to think about.  i used it in school obviously but not very much.
