We better adapt soon becuse the village is dead and it isn’t coming back.
I feel like I can still navigate through it because I did the previous levels but the difficulty is definitely higher.
We’re now on level 35 and n00bs are still coming online. A kid or grandma have no shot at defeating the boss AI video or deepfake on this level, hell I don’t even have a great win rate on them.
And you get crucified by them if you bring it up.
I understand battling the pull of phones and tablets with kids is hard but you’re lying to your self if you think it’s going to work out ok if you give in, every other kid has one how bad could it go really?
We all know this yet the ones with kids who need to do something about it don’t, as a result kids are getting dumber by the year.
TV had a limited capacity to mess kids up and it largely didn’t. Youtube and the internet on then other hand are in the vast majority of kids pockets with 0 restrictions.
Reading the first hand reports of what this looks like from /r/teachers will black pill you on the future quicker than any post on climate change or war.
I was a jean sleeper up till my early 20s. Not sure why, it just felt right.
Now I can sleep in gym shorts or jeans but prefer shorts. Anything less than shorts and REM sleep doesn’t happen for me, my body doesn’t like having it’s guard down that much I guess.
Yeah storage is cheap but I last reformated my boot drive in 2017 so my root partition is 20GB and now I have no room for Flatpak. Now I could just resize it but wheres the fun in that.
TL:DR “A 20GB root partition ought to be enough for anybody.”
Newer monitors are also good options. Usually they have enough HDCP compliant ports these days and none of the bullshit.
Pair with a sound bar or surround sound system and you got a great setup.
How can this be a legally enforceable contract?!
I’d like to think it can’t be but it’s the US so who knows.
Changing the terms after buying the device and in a way that your kid could accept them by hitting ok on the remote is bonkers.
I’m definitely doing it. Worth the cost of a stamp.
I don’t even have a Roku TV just an Ultra hooked up to a monitor so not a lot to lose but it’s the principal of the thing.
Reading the title I was like man the Onion is getting a little edgy until I read the source. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Guppies have a Gonopodium AKA a fish dick because they give live birth.
You can see them flex it from time to time. Note the bottom fin moving on the colorful fish chasing after the fat drab female:

That’s just one species of livebearing fish but there are many others.
Wow that was a great read. Leif comes across as very perceptive on multiple fronts here.
Unfortunately I think his warning about the internet ending up like “souped up TV” is looking more likely by the day.
Right now it’s quite easy to force a site or service to bend the knee to outside pressure. No matter how right or wrong that pressure is. People will go after hosting and ISPs, if that doesn’t work they’ll tie people up directly in the courts. You must provide real contact info and be willing to play ball if you operate on the old web.
Embracing encryption is the only thing I can think to do to avoid that. Which honestly kind of sucks, because while true anonymity would save sites like Omegle who act in good faith and police themsevles in a reasonable manner, others that don’t will also be protected. I think the pros out weigh the cons with anonymity but that is a hard pill to swallow for many.
Kevin isn’t as rare as you’d think in Europe especilally in the early 90s. Motorcycle racing AKA MotoGP was very popular and the champion in 1993 was Kevin Schwantz.
You also had the rise of Kevin Costner around then that probably contributed to it as well.

I just take 5,000 iu of vitamin D and skip the Sun business most days.
