AI has shown to be more detrimental than beneficial. If you overlook the over dependence on it, especially among children. The light pollution of their centers and crowding out water and electricity in small towns. The cost increase of electronics for just a plan to buy it all out. It just does things so poorly that the most modest of competent people out perform it.

I don’t know, I just can’t give it up. It won’t let me put it down. Keeps running around my mind. Desperate for it to desert me…

Homeschooling is rarely successful and deprives children of the chance to socialize and practice it. As well a lot of the people who do it use it as a method of indoctrination for religious reasons.

A good, stylish hat helps certainly.

Some never become adults, becoming an adult to me is self-realization. That you have the ability to think and make decisions with input on your own. That you are self-capable of change in your life. It’s accepting you have responsibilities outside of just yourself. I feel hat’s part of it.

I’ve learned if a person is properly egregious, muting them is the best option. I’m doing that for a lot of apologia of bad takes on here.

Even if I’m in a hurry, I splash them in water with a squirt of soap and quick scrub. I touch keyboards all day and my hands need to be cleaned. Never mind when I physically worked with IT equipment.

Same as my retirement plan. Make billionaires afraid.

Having positive, coherent, and thoughtful discussions on most topics online.

We don’t need raytracing, fake frames, top tier graphics that’ll look obsolete. TF2 is still going strong and it sure as heck isn’t a graphical powerhouse. In fact one of the reasons it’s so popular is it’ll run on essentially a toaster of a computer.

Happy giggles.

There’s a lot of factors, it’s a matter of training your body to get used to the effort. I used to jog a lot myself, beginning it sucked, after a month or two the happy chemicals started working that made it feel good. Add in going out on beautiful days as well and seeing nature helps as well. It’s easier to do it here in the spring and autumn months because the weather is much more agreeable.

I have an 8th gen intel CPU, many modern games are saying not good enough. It powers through them just fine on slightly lower graphics settings.

One thing is to ensure that people understand you won’t take their bullshit anymore. Mass muting, banning, and deplatforming helps get rid of a lot of toxicity because said people are only interested in it.

Merde.

Unless you’re trying for the AAA “BESTEST GRAPHICS EBAR!” you don’t need a super powerful video card anymore. There’s many games, much better too, that don’t require that much hardware to run.

I remember video games having a helluva stigma when I was a kid in school. People mocked me for playing Pokemon. If you were to look at them now, they probably play it religiously.

That aside, I feel like tabletop miniatures get similar dislike. Some people are like “That’s cool” but the common layman just think it’s playing with expensive toys.
