Crazy, but it’s almost like parenting can make the environment safer!

Lemmy likes to portray Roblox the same way the 10pm news portrayed the Internet when I was in my preteens and teen years, like it was the wild west, everyone was a predator, etc. I let my kids hop on. Their friends include me, their mom (who has an account for some reason), each other, and the kids who live across the street. They like to play the platformers, and they invite me sometimes and we play them.

They’ll get older and they’ll go explore the internet the same way I did. I spent my adolescence and teen years eventually in AIM chat rooms, then forums, and thn Skyping random people, and somehow didn’t become a terrorist, didn’t get predated. I also am of the school of thought that you need to learn things on your own, rather than have no exposure to things that could potentially be bad.

I generally say things like “it’s complicated, but let’s see if we can find out.”. Unfortunately when my daughter said “Why are your parents divorced,” I had to leave it at “It’s complicated.” Basically, magnets.

This is Lemmy, baby! Nothing is too stupid to break down and ultimately ruin!!!

And also sitting down is hard now. But yeah, you have to imagine all the stabilization your muscles used to do are now taken care of by this robot tail. So atrophy away!

Funny has apparently been used to describe something suspicious for more than 200 years. So say it with a wild west accent.

Chalk one up for the good old US of A. Gotta take our wins where we can get em.

I used to use a facial scrub with the plastic beads. I look back and it’s like what the fuck, but at the time it was fine. Sorry world.

Damn, I took electronics a few different times in my learning career. V=IR always stuck with me, and then P=VI. And so when I read current squared times resistance I squinted my eyes and replaced the V in the power equation with IR, and I was like woah. Neat.

What happens when a hyphen is used in a movie title? I think that’s frequent enough, versus an underscore or a period.

Gotta hit shift though. Period, ezpz.

That’s the one. A general story throughout but each episode essentially a standalone, and so many fantastic episodes (and sure, some not as). D&D needs to get put back on streaming, though.

Yeah, more browse just subs, versus posts on individual subs. Like, just a list of subs.

And I am 90% Jerboa at this point, so if it’s on the browser version, disregard everything, because I’m here now and I’ll probably stumble upon it.

There are definitely more niche subreddits that won’t exist here without their user base, and for those I still pop on over, and more than likely will continue to, except only from my PC now, which is probably good. Lemmy isn’t as active in my spheres as reddit was, and I’ll count it as a blessing because reddit was, for all intents and purposes, a waste of time. Or 90% boredom with 10% something else.

I wish there was even a browse future. Sometimes the mind can’t think of what it wants is called.

Not sure why I’m telling you, but thanks for listening.

For sure. I still pop over there for subs that haven’t seen to have materialized here. I’m not a content creator; I’ll engage in discussion, though. So I’m in Limbo for the time being. Hoping to see Lemmy grow, and at the same time take on some of what Reddit did 10+ years ago that made it great.

I really just miss forums the way they were, but if you want active communities covering a bunch of topics, it’s gotta be home to many, many people. And with lots of people come lots of problems.
