Terry summed it up well.

I still have fun with it, plenty of full servers to be found.

I just take 5,000 iu of vitamin D and skip the Sun business most days.

Good god Lemon.

We better adapt soon becuse the village is dead and it isn't coming back.

I feel like I can still navigate through it because I did the previous levels but the difficulty is definitely higher.

We're now on level 35 and n00bs are still coming online. A kid or grandma have no shot at defeating the boss AI video or deepfake on this level, hell I don't even have a great win rate on them.

And you get crucified by them if you bring it up.

I understand battling the pull of phones and tablets with kids is hard but you're lying to your self if you think it's going to work out ok if you give in, every other kid has one how bad could it go really?

We all know this yet the ones with kids who need to do something about it don't, as a result kids are getting dumber by the year.

TV had a limited capacity to mess kids up and it largely didn't. Youtube and the internet on then other hand are in the vast majority of kids pockets with 0 restrictions.

Reading the first hand reports of what this looks like from /r/teachers will black pill you on the future quicker than any post on climate change or war.

Newer monitors are also good options. Usually they have enough HDCP compliant ports these days and none of the bullshit.

Pair with a sound bar or surround sound system and you got a great setup.

How can this be a legally enforceable contract?!

I'd like to think it can't be but it's the US so who knows.

Changing the terms after buying the device and in a way that your kid could accept them by hitting ok on the remote is bonkers.

I'm definitely doing it. Worth the cost of a stamp.

I don't even have a Roku TV just an Ultra hooked up to a monitor so not a lot to lose but it's the principal of the thing.

Reading the title I was like man the Onion is getting a little edgy until I read the source. Truth is stranger than fiction.

I remember when I did the switch in 2008 and never looked back.

I wasn't far behind you. My first laptop around that time came with Vista installed. Didn't take long for me to switch Ubuntu after that, haven't been back to Windows since.
