yeah, my father was a somewhat crazy would-be inventor except he couldn't navigate the academic system either

in parallel to me learning to write advanced algorithms he was teaching me chemistry and physics

he was so terrible, i mean, literally psychopath, at being a father tho, that i didn't bite at his parents offer to foster my CS skill development, because he was involved in it

we live in a fucked up world, one one side, the devil, and on the other side, the army of fallen angels
