Ah yes, the "weird, already outdated even in the early 00s" headphones. I went though this I'm pretty sure, my experiences line up eerily with other GATE kid testimonies. I can remember all sorts of "tests" and "appointments" in my childhood, particularly after 9/11. Must've not given them the answers they wanted because my life just went downhill afterwards kek. Those [they] knew they couldn't convince to work with them they just sabotaged.
There were A LOT of kids that went though programs like this, enough where threads about the topic appear pretty frequently on half-chan. How many lives were ruined intentionally?
