just me
the same thing happened to millennials. they got blamed for being stupid teenagers when they were in their mid twenties. it seems it takes about a generation for the old folks to catch up what’s the new word for the youths nowadays, by then it’s often barely accurate anymore
i believe at least koreans have mandatory military service
when all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail and stuff
just having a bouncer at the door reduces the number of minors significantly. Same way a sticker saying “this area is monitored” will reduce crime in the area, even if no camera is in sight.
should a bouncer actually check people’s IDs? yeah, that’d be nice. but a bouncer that just stands there and does fuck all is much better than no bouncer at all
experienced kinksters in the process of being seduced would be on high alert looking for any and all red flags or attempts to push their boundaries. because though seduction is hot - if a stranger does it to impress you, you should be paying close attention to what they do next
i believe this is the job of science communicators who try to explain complicated processes and ideas so that people outside of that specific scientific field can also understand what’s going on
it’s those :) also often called christmas tree decorations or ornaments
so this obviously isn’t a real worksheet but,
it annoys me how people seem to think that children are stupid, or incapable of picking up or understanding vocabulary that is all around them. simplyfing a concept doesn’t always result in a simpler concept, quite often it just becomes incoherent and meaningless. if a child can read (or is learning to read) then they understand the concept of “decoration”, hell, throw “baubles” at them, if they ask “what’s this?” just explain, it’s the perfect exercise for that kind of thing, tell them what it is, and then watch them engage with the idea for the next 10-15min as they doodle
still doesn’t change the fact that that’s not a game for kids, and the adults for whom that game was made can make as many bad decisions with their money as they can afford
i’m not in favour of gambling for children don’t get me wrong, in fact i was once a victim of it (thanks to wizard101, a game advertised as and marketed for children), but Valve just did not enage in that. if a child is playing a game that’s clearly marked “M” or “PEGI 18” then it’s the parents’ responsibility to figure out if its something appropriate for their child
nahhh, lootboxes existed before CS:GO or TF2. and neither was supposed to be for kids in the first place! card games like MTG were one of the first mass created to use those mechanics
you know what was supposed to be for kids, had (& still has) lootboxes galore and other predatory monetisation tactics? Wizard101 (2008)
i don’t see many people complaining about MtG or Wizard101, but folks love to point out how Gaben did a bad thing by taking something that was already a concept (that people liked) and making it digital, whereby he accidentally created something he could never uncreate
any and all UI changes will make people angry
steam has had so few of them compared to idk youtube that, imo it’s fine even if it’s kinda pointless
but it feels to me like Aziraphael would have a panic attack of Crowley started bratting to him. i couldddd see a soft dom potential but a fragile one
no way, Aziraphale is definitely the bottom, he wouldn’t be able to top to save the world (except that one time when he terrified everyone in hell)
I’d like to purchase some PORNOGRAPHY :)
do you think workers got rights by asking nicely?
if factories didn’t get set on fire with the owner inside people would still be breaking their backs working 16h a day in conditions that shorten their lives by a year every month spent working, every day going deeper in dept to the company store. Oh and they asked for better conditions, they protested, they demanded, they went on strikes, but there was no way out.
violance isn’t the answer - violance is what happens when you take away someon’s hope. And this is not a new relevation:
Sun Tzu said ‘When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard’
because a desperate, hopeless foe will fight to the death
by that i mean - that an emotional reaction doesn’t make something art
i experience an emotional reaction when i step in shit too
yeah it’s a bit weird agreed. i think it attempts to describe more a culture of the youth of a certain decade rather than the people on their own? idk
