  • Crazy, but it’s almost like parenting can make the environment safer!

    Lemmy likes to portray Roblox the same way the 10pm news portrayed the Internet when I was in my preteens and teen years, like it was the wild west, everyone was a predator, etc. I let my kids hop on. Their friends include me, their mom (who has an account for some reason), each other, and the kids who live across the street. They like to play the platformers, and they invite me sometimes and we play them.

    They’ll get older and they’ll go explore the internet the same way I did. I spent my adolescence and teen years eventually in AIM chat rooms, then forums, and thn Skyping random people, and somehow didn’t become a terrorist, didn’t get predated. I also am of the school of thought that you need to learn things on your own, rather than have no exposure to things that could potentially be bad.


  • All the bots on this site like to shit on Americans, “Why aren’t you doing something?!” And the answer to the stupid question is that individual actions are pointless and that if we wanted to do something, you need a rallying point.

    This is that rallying point. This is the kind of movement you can get behind to tell the feds to fuck off. I’ve said it before, I served my time, and I’m not sure I’d serve the country again right now, but I would 100% serve New Jersey.



  • So much same. I haven’t written many complete songs, soup to nuts, but I have dozens upon dozens of different tunes, from 8 bars out to a few minutes, and I know I’ve spent hours listening to them on repeat.

    There’s just something really special about a song that kinda comes together on its own. Sometimes it felt like work, but sometimes the creative juices would flow and it was magical. Was similar with making mixes too, where I just felt which song should come next and didn’t put much thought into it.

    Been a long while though, life is busy now. But it’s always there waiting for me to come back.
