Ask questions. Either people will or won’t engage but if you have any credibility with them, they have a little bit of buy in to listen to your shit. Then you just might get them curious.

Just the other day I was walking through our local VA campus and I was curious about why every roof of the buildings built in the 1920s has a bunch of little house looking vent things on the top. I think I know the answer but I’m still curious about it.

Probably not a good example of something to spark curiosity with, but you never know what will.

Thanks for sharing. My nephew went to rehab recently for Xanax and I didn’t really understand it. I didn’t want to prod him or my sister really, so I appreciate the insight.

It’s so important to distinguish between what games kids play. It really does make all the difference and a lot of parents aren’t equipped with the knowledge or tenacity to pursue it.

Yeah, it’s child dependent really. My oldest is pretty sucked into her minecraft and roblox shit but when it comes time to get off, it’s “ok dad.” My youngest on the other hand is a child scorned in the same circumstance. I’m just glad I don’t have worse behavioral issues with them.

I thought it was because Reddit is like “read it” and Lemmy is like “Lemmy show you this”. Lemmings is a great name though.

I’ve read comments by people saying they enjoy the feeling it gives other people when they give gold. Of course, the person I’m thinking of was long before all the fuckery with the expanse of awards.
