Isn’t this how those Chinese popcorn makers work?

The Bare Necessities

My son has had access to an iPhone 6s and iPad 2 since he was 1 or so (7 now). His devices have always been moderated to prevent him from seeing inappropriate content whether by accident or on purpose, and as he gets older I ease up on the restrictions. We have had little to no issue with him being attached to the devices, and my opinion is because he had mostly free reign over his usage barring bedtime. Even to this day he prefers to be outside playing.

I’m sure we’re all familiar with getting something we all wanted later in life than most people. We get super attached. I did get my son an Xbox one rather late (he had wanted one for at least a year before he got one), and he is attached to that. Because he spent a good amount of time dreaming and fantasizing about it.

My son is also high functioning autistic, (as am I), if that means anything. But this is my parenting style. Allow freedom within reasonable limits to promote individuality, unlike my parents. He sometimes watches the dumbest stuff on YouTube, but we all did and do. It’s not up to me to mold his sense of humor, I just make sure it’s appropriate for his age. Regardless if I think it’s dumb or not. I’m not 7 anymore.

I was expecting her to snap back into her body and wake up with disappointment after astral projecting

Yeah, like others have said, play them in order starting with 1. If you play them backwards or out of order, you aren’t very likely to finish the first one, maybe the second, the first is kind of a slog, but worth playing. This way they just get better each time you go to the next

That’s rich!

Nintendo has kind of always sucked as far as passionate fans are concerned. Their products are some of the best out there, sure, but they are ruthless.

Playing devil’s advocate, they’re just protecting their IP. Problem is they can’t spend resources or time figuring out who is or is not profiting from their work, so they just stamp out all the bugs in the house that get big enough to be noticed. I guess, I really don’t know.

The gender-bigotry comes from the “what man needs to mark 28 days?” There’s snark behind the comment, and it’s unnecessary. That said, a woman could be just as likely as a man to mark moon phases. But saying “man” doesn’t mean “male” when talking about us as a species from my understanding. Seems like a broader term to use which includes the entirety of the homo-whatevers.

I’m just some guy here and am not educated in this stuff, though!

And here I am, still using my Pebble Time watch

This changes everything

Can you stop by me in 2012 when I bought up a bunch of Bitcoin and tell me not to waste it, hold onto it for a few years because it will make me a millionaire? Thx

Idk man. I am shoving respect into my son’s head at all times, I show respect and love to my wife/his mom all the time, and he is misogynistic AF. I don’t get it. I am trying so hard to raise him to be respectful towards women and he just doesn’t accept it.

He’s 7, ADHD, Autistic, etc. But I really don’t know if that even has anything to do with it because I am, too.

I wouldn’t say it’s been debunked. Probably improbable, but in no way debunked

Mint was my first used, was straightforward and easy to get going. Still use mint.

I’ve always read it doesn’t really matter what distro you choose, just to pick one you like. That’s confusing to a noob because they don’t know why they should or shouldn’t like a specific one.

Mint is very simple to setup and works very much like a windows PC by default. Can even set it up to work like a Mac if you want to.

I would argue real-life is also like this

Now let me see you write an ampersand!

Dead Cells is amazing. It’s a side scrolling, action-adventure, RPG-ish Rogue-like game. I’ve spent so much time playing this game.

The player takes the role of an amorphous creature called the Prisoner. As the Prisoner, the player must fight their way out of a diseased island in order to slay the island’s King. The player gains weapons, treasure and other tools through exploration of the procedurally-generated levels. Dead Cells features a permadeath system, causing the player to lose all items and other abilities upon dying. A currency called Cells can be collected from defeated enemies, allowing the player to purchase permanent upgrades.

I personally played it on my phone with a controller, but it’s available on all major consoles iirc

Yeah and YouTube joined in a while back with image and text posts

You’re exactly right. I didn’t read the article yet, but you can build a to do list app in a handful of minutes if you know your way around. I’m still green as a coder, but have been through dozens of tutorials, one of which was a simple to do list in JavaScript. I managed to complete it in about an hour. Seeing that someone thinks it takes weeks to do, that makes me wonder about them.
