Foolish fool, I can expand a single sentence into several pages!!!

Given how easily you can steal/fake other people’s voices with current tech, that sounds like a lost cause

Back in mah day, internet time was super limited (dial up). Having a hard restriction on daily internet use, like 2 hours tops, would be a good starting point, in my opinion.

As others mentioned, no phones or tablets, not before 14y. I’d also completely block Roblox, TikTok, Instagram, xitter and Facebook. The kid can learn about those things from friends, but at home those things will be off limits and explained as mind control programs (a bit hyperbolical, but not entirely untrue)

For games, I’d create a small (~10), initial catalogue of curated games and let the kid play. After some months, give old magazines or show some screenshots of older stuff, or let them use their internet time to check for interesting looking titles, and let them choose one or two to add to their collection. If the game sucks, well, too bad, lesson hopefully learned.

Having access to the entire digital world at all times can really mess up our senses of “how much that’s worth”, because there’s just so fucking much everywhere

Changed the title, by offline I meant “not digital”. Still, that game looks weirdly fun

How Ben and Luke tell the story of how the latter nearly killed his nephew could’ve used better execution/storytelling, that alone would significantly reduce the amount of discussion on how the movie “killed his character”

Nah, even if it wasn’t Star Wars, it’d be 6/10 at best

I was ok with using the ship as a suicidal torpedo, but I wasn’t ok with a single person being able to fully maneuver the thing all by herself, or the ensuing space rip conveniently doing that V shape and getting all 3 ships.

But the bombing run at the beginning of the movie really set the tone for “Prepare to be sorely disappointed”

I’d go for car mechanic. No idea if specializing in trucks or farming stuff would be more lucrative, though the latter is not viable if you don’t live near farms anyway.

I roll to seduce the assassin. If that fails, I’ll barrel roll instead

Medical work, too. Several exam machines only work with Windows. I’ve heard once that “wine’s pretty good nowadays”, which completely ignores the detail that it isn’t tested with said equipment and its drivers.

Anything related to engineering, whether civil or mechanical, also goes with either Windows or Mac, because the free CAD options don’t hold a candle to AutoCAD and others.

Lastly, there’s no FOSS alternative to completely replace Microsoft Active Directory, so offices where 90% of the work is done on the web browser won’t bother because they’ll be losing control over individual machines.

There’s so much focus on “me” and “freedom” that they often forget there’s a whole damn world of different needs around them.

No, that’s the creator of Heathcliff

I suspect that person would also justify littering in order to “ensure street cleaners don’t lose their jobs”

I remember him somehow managing to get banned by his autoban-bot on that community

Even Nathan Poe would be amazed at the speed that that devolved into nazi comparisons

You’ve been Affected by something, not Effected, you enimal.

My unpopular opinion is that too many people give way, waaaaaayyy too much attention to “correct use of gender pronouns” and they should all just stfu.

I understand why that is a big deal for trans people, because they make their gender the defining aspect of their character. Something I consider a mistake, nobody’s main defining characteristic should be their gender.
