If you don’t watch what your kids play, your kids will find something inappropriate to play. This isn’t just a Roblox problem. Not suggesting Roblox shouldn’t have better moderation (holy hell should they) but this isn’t unexpected. Should it be? Maybe. Could they realistically do it? Probably not without some serious vetting changes—changes that would make “experience makers” have to wait to get their games approved.

Lock down the accounts so they can’t see server chat or get messages from randoms. Only allow your (parent) account to add friends. Play with them. Be present, at least somewhat, when they play.

There’s a bunch of actual ER docs that watch the show and definitely say it’s effectively a “day from hell”. But mostly realistic.

“Instead of worrying about living paycheck to paycheck, take a vacation!”

This one I understand. “Cheese pizza” is code for child porn.

It has changed a few minds so far.

I’ll chime in and say that math teachers have said similar things about calculators/graphing calculators for 25+ years. This is most definitely you getting “old”. It’s okay—it happens to all of us.

As far as attention span, that has been an equally common refrain—going back to people complaining that radio has reduced kids attention spans.

Name 10 WW1 Battles

The Battle of the Isonzo?

Okay, that was too easy. That’s on me.

Off the top of my head: Supermarket Simulator and Void Crew. There’s more.

Even then. My mother followed a YouTube video on this including the part where the helpful Indian guy had her download an app and set up a very sketchy VPN.

Yea…

Not really. It takes a lot of experience to sort the legit from the not legit.

The briefest of summaries (keeping in mind hand waving details)

• NY Major is charged with taking bribes from the Turkish government
• Trump ordered attorney in charge to drop the case
• Attorney after attorney resigned with scathing resignation letter rather than drop the case because the decision to drop is obviously political
• DOJ isn’t supposed to be political but independent
• Almost 3x the number of attorneys resigned here than under Nixon
• Under Nixon, this was the flame that started his impeachment. Under Trump, crickets.

Just buy them from the vending machine.

Space Engineers 2 is EA now…

I loved writing scripts for that game, looking forward to more.

Not really a sim, but def a fan of space games. Void Crew has been great.

Do you prefer phone calls? (This is a honest question)

Oh, I most definitely love my kids. Seeing their thought processes always makes my day.

But…I’m in exceptional circumstances. My son lost bowel and bladder control 2y ago (tumor on his spinal cord). Had to live in the hospital a year. Took its toll on our now 9yo daughter…

And now, my son is STILL used to being woken up every couple of hours for blood pressure checks and who is also awoken at that point? Yep—me.

I don’t remember the last time I woke up feeling rested.

I love my kids but… I’m tired, boss.

When my (then) 4 yo was undergoing chemo I had a goto line I used often when people would comment on my mask:

You’re right. I should let my kid who has no immune system because he’s on chemo for cancer treatment just die then, right?

Honestly, if you’re still masking and get flak, just say the above anyhow. You have my permission.

And yet…
