I took my kids trick or treating tonight and, in the neighborhood we go to, everyone who is handing out candy sits on their porch or driveway and it’s like a big block party. Nobody goes up to the houses with nobody outside because it’s assumed they aren’t participating. Being in rural texas, I probably wouldn’t let my kids knock on those doors, only if that’s what was the norm for the neighborhood. People be crazy out here.
Wow. This is something I knew to be true, just never thought too deep about it. This is how you make people care about privacy, get their money involved. It definitely made me sit up straighter.
They still have weird shit like that all over kids youtube. I forbade it in my house after seeing a video of a kid literally shooting their mom in the face. Before I was just blocking entire channels but after that… yeah no youtube kids in my house.
In order to get rid of my car, I would have to quit my job, grow my own food, homeschool my kids, and pretty much only go outside of my homestead on special occasions. Then I wouldn’t be able to afford my mortgage. Our society isn’t conducive to that type of lifestyle. For reference, I live on a ranch, the closest grocery store is a 30 minute drive, the closest neighbor is at least a mile. We have no public transport, no Uber or lyft service, no taxis, etc. I love living out here though. I can see the milky way every night, I can camp and hike on my own property, I can enjoy nature in a way not many can. I don’t think I could give that up, if for nothing else, my mental health.
I legitimately didn’t know what the steam OS was, so thanks. I was very curious about something that has very little to do with my interests, but I like playing games have always been curious about the steamdeck
