Every time I play some game exploring ancient tombs or dungeons. And there are always candles. Lighting of some kind. Supposedly according to the story I am the first to be here in centuries. But there are lit candles and lit torches.

Okie dokie.

The caption has a misspelling.

Headlines that basically say the same shit twice really are swell.

Everything you all are saying can happen in regular relationships too. A person willing to choose an AI likely isn’t going to be great at choosing an actual human who is good for them.

In a relationship, the other person could also be manipulative, or it could be one sided, or they can pressure you to only live certain ways, buy certain things. Or they can backstab you and give your private info to others (family that took my SS info from my parents), or pawn your shit, or cheat on you with others. Like everything negative that might come from this could potentially happen in some remotely similar way in a human relationship too.

I’ve been in and seen others in all kind of relationships that in some ways had these similar negative outcomes.

And I know people who express their same story proudly.

Anecdotes are fun!

So set fucking limits on the phone? Is ‘all or nothing’ somehow the only option? It’s not hard to set time limits, restrict apps, and generally be involved in your kids lives to help them understand and learn moderation and healthy recognition of bad habits forming. Simply taking shit away also doesn’t help cause there’s no opportunity to make mistakes and learn. Where’s the fucking middle ground?

Also…

Everyone is glued to their screens these days.

What a boomer comment.
