I don’t play many games etc but just wanted to say congrats on finishing it!

Also, cool subjects material!

That’s bold!

It’s about a real problem absolutely, and a problem that is worthy of discussion but just this thought process rings so false (at least, among the priviliged western users whom I think make up a large percentage of us.)

I mean, absolutely, especially globally, there are still a lot of communities like that.

In the developed west, personally at least, I think the people who would have that attitude tend to be a bit too old (or way too old) to be having kids.

While I can’t speak to OP’s experience, that’s the kind of sentiment that publicly expressed would make employment more difficult etc.

Ha, completely. I’d just figured that was a Ukraine war switch but I imagine you’re right.

Not sure generalizing based on your parents is legit.

Admittedly, “Y’all ever stopped to notice on how my parents fear…” doesn’t sound quite the same.

Of course Buffett hopped off the ai train before it was cool.

When have you ever heard someone say they’d be fine with their son being a harasser?

It’s also such a damn efficient workout.

Not a real response, but this is a very nice comment and I think it’s the type of thing that makes the fediverse a better place.

I got one a few months ago that is my abslolute favourite, not sure if it counts. Important context, I’m 40 but still play soccer with folks as young as 20. So, one game I’m defending against a young fast kid and beat him to the ball (barely!) a few times in a row on long ball chases. After the third or fourth time he looks over after the race and says “You’re really fast for an… uhhh uh uh, you’re really fast!”

He meant so well and it was adorable watching him realize mid sentence that I probably didn’t want to be called an old man.

So it took that dumb fuck 9 months to realize that Putin’s the bad guy, Ukraine isn’t to blame for being invaded and that Western support could win this war?

Imagine how many lives would have been saved if he’d just listened to every goddamn adult in the previous administration.
