  • I get what you’re saying, but it’s not a black and white situation. Drugs and porn are not the same category. One will have life-changing effects, the other usually won’t.

    Plus, parents have the ability to mostly control a child’s access to inappropriate content, as well as tobacco shops.

    It applies in the real world and the Internet on a case by case basis depending on the inherent dangers of the content.


  • Responsibility for access to adult content needs to fall to the parents of minors, not the companies. I’m so exhausted seeing parents responsibilities being shirked and placed onto other entities/people.

    My son, 7, gets so upset with me and my wife because we are so unfair, because we don’t let him do/watch/play things his friends do. He’s 7, he doesn’t need to be playing Call of Duty, he doesn’t need to be watching inappropriate content, he doesn’t need access to TikTok, and so on. I’m forcing my kid to be alienated from his friends because the other parents are allowing children to access things they should not be accessing.

    I’m getting all worked up on my soap box, sorry. That wasn’t necessary.



  • You’re exactly right. I didn’t read the article yet, but you can build a to do list app in a handful of minutes if you know your way around. I’m still green as a coder, but have been through dozens of tutorials, one of which was a simple to do list in JavaScript. I managed to complete it in about an hour. Seeing that someone thinks it takes weeks to do, that makes me wonder about them.


  • I have been in the same boat. I have no friends, but a wife and kid. Life sucks a big one, especially work and the work-life balance, and finances, etc.

    The only thing that helps me is medicine. I’m on a cocktail of Dextroamphetamine for ADD, Lamotrigine for Bipolar Disorder, and Propranolol for anxiety. I’m still far from 100%, but I’m in the more positive side of the fence.

    Talking about problems can help a lot of people, and that’s great to have a therapist, but it doesn’t work for me. Talking about stuff doesn’t change my circumstances, neither does my mindset. Definitely discuss issues with a doctor and medicate. Nothing else has helped me deal with the shit in life.







  • Pretty terrible. After a year I finally got a job, but it’s probably one of the worst possible jobs for someone like me who has ASD and other issues… Call center for military benefits. But I have to do it.

    Severely disappointed after spending so much time learning web development, and it was for nothing it seems. On the bright side, my training was paid for…



  • That’s faster, easier and more efficient than this boat elevator! During the development process of the elevator, I did have a block switcher at the bottom which would swap a stone block for soul sand when the elevator was activated and the boat would rise very quickly (I didn’t have to put a delay in like with this one.) It would also descend more quickly because the dispensers were faster. It was VERY noisy, though, because when you’re on top of a bubble column it constantly makes splash noises
