Hanging out with my nieces/nephews I now understand most the discipline I received as a child was most likely because I was being annoying and nothing to do with right or wrong. in c/showerthoughts

We are taking the same approach and every word you said landed with me, matched my experience.

I'll add that this is a VERY different strategy from the approaches taken by both my partner's and my parents.

It's not easy, but I think we're raising better humans than ourselves. On days when it's exhausting and you're burned out and you feel like you can't do it, cling to that.

You're doing great. It's worth it. Keep it up! 💚

I think Chicago is the only other US city that comes close, their transit is fantastic!

I really love, and really miss, healing in wow raids circa WOTLK through Cata, specifically using healnot and custom keybinds to keep people alive. I don't have time or budget for an MMO in my late 30s, nor do I see that easing up anytime soon.

I think a game where you had to do raid mechanics/puzzles while keeping NPCs alive through healing could be really fun, even without a loot grind. Or a game that dropped you into a multiplayer raid encounter without the crap around it. Either could be great.

"same bro lol"

Extremely confused Hexbear admin, a Lesbian Trans Jew, unironically posts and praises Stalin -- You know, the same Stalin who executed Queers and Jews in c/[email protected]

Do you have proof (or literally any evidence) of their "legitimate beliefs" of Stalin as a good person, or are you extrapolating an opinion you already believe and want to fight about from the use of a single emote? Because it certainly feels like the latter until you provide anything to back up your statement.

I mostly just follow the nextlander crew and Jeff Gerstmann. They aren't much more than podcasts, there's little to no written work produced, and they don't really consider themselves gaming journalists, but that's pretty much what we're left with.

"Influencers" and corporate cash have largely killed games journalism.
