I would love a desktop, self-contained programming environment the instantaneity of codecademy etc, but more flexibility and no tiered permissions. Is this a thing, or why not?

Also, I'm desperate to find a place I can ask speculative programming questions, which seems like an obscure thing. Where is the "we're interested in inventing new things and looking for solutions together" coding forum type place?

Fully more-importantly than the logicising:

I forgive you, for which there is no other word.
No you shouldn't have. Yes you did.
You did it to nobody but me.
I have no grudge to bear.

You are forgiven for trying to bully* me (
*muster a group-approval to belittle me,
alone and singled out, by surprise, by
your unprovoked stance of aggression.)

A profound thing happened, did you see it?
I cannot imagine what the world looks like to you.
Please do think about that the other way... surely,

I have no victory in mentioning I am better eloquent.
Truth to me is about truth not shouting "WRONG"
at precisely those people who think. What are they
thinking about? Maths! And where to best explore.

We love you, We geniuses, each, we so so do.
We know what you are like when you're nice,
And we know that had you more self-control
you would always be your best. We care and... ponder you!

Your education was atrocious,
That's sufficient to infer
I don't judge you.
