I mean scientifically speaking, we are all made of stardust. Everything in the universe is. Including the existential crisis your trying to forget by disassociating.

I agree, the average situation is certainly rife with more nuance. For example, my young ones play Minecraft, despite that being implicated as a vector used by pedophiles to find and groom victims. However, I long ago did like you have suggested and limited the online options and communications my kids can interact with, as well as using that as an opportunity to speak with them about why those protections where in place.
My issue with Roblox is that as a company, they routinely downplay the role their platform plays in such crimes, and have actively prevented such activity from being stopped while taking no steps to filter or moderate such things from their end. Yes, parents need to do more then just hand a child a screen so they stop needing attention, but a platform that exploits predator usage is exploiting children.
Now some parents may not be knowledgeable about this, and I can understand that “you don’t know what you don’t know”. However, a parent who chooses to sour a family holiday because the whim of their spawn was not bowed to is not, generally speaking, a good parent. The combination of this with the usage of a pedophile-supporting platform aimed at children while clearly not setting healthy boundaries with the child, are the reason I would say this person is a bad parent. It’s not one factor, its the culmination of multiple that result in this reasoning.

So your sister actively consents to her son being on a platform riddled with pedophiles and expects you to be complicit as well.
You where nice, I would have told her she was a terrible parent, why, and then ask her to leave. I’ve become no-contact with toxic family over issues before, and I’ll do it again.

Fair, but I think given the intention of the study being discussed, my comment is still pretty valid. 😁
Turns out humans are one of those animals that don’t breed well in captivity, and alot of us are starting to realize we’re captives.
The same thing a cat would do. Look at them both, give a slow blink, then stand up and walk away to go do my own thing.

Gaming@beehaw.org•I have about 55 hours of flights coming up. I’m thinking about the deus ex collection. Any thoughts?
7·5 months agoI loved Deus Ex Human Revolution, it was my intro to the series and still one of my favs. I woild also recommend something a little more sandbox, like Minecraft or Lightyear Frontier, just for the sheer time sink these games can be. Farming and building can make you lose track of hours at a time, great for travel.
I could also recommend something like Be my Hoard. Trying to get over an hour on a run is a fun way to burn an hour, if you like rouge-lite styles.
If you like driving, something like American Truck Simulator or Euro Truck Simulator is another great time sink.
