If I’m whoever is in charge of Roblox, I’d have shut down Roblox’s ability to grant users access without being 18+, or having parents permission. I’d have done that years ago, when the first reports were coming out about how Roblox is a nesting ground for pedophiles. That was like 10+ years ago.

The fact that it’s STILL an issue would suggest either they haven’t taken proper restrictions, or that they haven’t shifted responsibility to the parents to monitor their childrens activity.

My 13 year old niece LOVES minecraft. My sister and brother in law will check in from time to time, and make sure everything’s safe. When she was 6 years old, she couldn’t even play minecraft online. Not even with me. With the logic being that if she can play with me, there’s a chance others could hack their way into the game. I’m 40, they’re 50, and to me it doesn’t seem like that’s possible. But they don’t understand video games at all. I’d rather they lay on the side of caution for things they don’t understand.

For example, I don’t understand Roblox. The game was already known as a pedophile playground before my niece was even allowed to play video games. So I’ve never played it, and neither has she. I’d rather that be true, than her getting the wrong kind of attention online. She’s a smart 13 year old, but she is still…ya know…a teenager. And therefore a dumbass. I’d never say that to her, as I don’t mean anything insulting by it, but all teenagers are going to be dumbasses. There’s some things you should let them be dumbasses about, fail, and learn, and then there’s other things that they need to be protected from as legitimate dangers. Such as sexual preditors.

The fact that Roblox is still dealing with problems they had in 2012, tells me they don’t care. So maybe they should be killed off.

I don’t get the first one. Is the implication that she’s about to vomit on him while at the same time trying to get her boyfriend to pick a fight with another person in the distance? Meanwhile he’s rethinking while she’s with her?

Me: 41.

"Fortnite wasn’t a thing? I didn’t know it left. But also, you can’t say it’s coming back permanently. The roman empire lasted 1000 years. It was all some people knew for hundreds of generations. Even the roman empire wasn’t permanent. And I highly doubt some free to play shooter game is going to last 1000 years. I mean could you imagine? Still using technologies from 1000 years ago? Hmmmmm, maybe the wheel? When was the wheel invented? Had to be before 1000AD, right? Huh…I guess my knowledge of history prior to the 1700s is kind of hazy. Well…besides Columbus being a raging asshole and racist. That part is pretty well documented. I mean he was a slave owner. Although I wonder if at the time slave ownership was considered morally wrong? We KNOW it was known as being wrong by the 1860s. America fought a whole war over it. But columbus was almost 400 years earlier. I wonder if it was like how most people today know pollution is wrong, and climate change is bad, but hell if as a society we’re going to give up cars, and plastic water bottles, and soooooo much disposable waste. I mean, people like to talk shit about starbucks CEO for living in L.A., and running a company daily out of Seattle, and using a daily private jet to commute instead of just using zoom, or moving to Seattle, but they don’t actually take time to think that maybe if every single person gave up their cars, and their styrofoam plates, and their red solo cups, that the world global impact would be drastically lowered. Not that the starbucks CEO should be defended. He should be shot out of a canon into the sun. Wait…we shouldn’t fuck with the balance of the sun. If we fuck the sun, we’re all fucked. Ok, what if we just shot him out into a black hole? Well shit. If we’re getting black holes involved we should get some science observation involved. Strap him up with observable communication, ya know? I realize that 99% chance his molocules are crushed inward and he’s crushed into nothing, so the communication would just go dead. I get it…but what if? Some of the greatest scientific accomplishments were discovered completely by accident. So what if we discover that black holes hold other properties we don’t know yet? The PLAN is to destroy him, but if we discover the secrets of timr travel instead? Hey, happy accident.

…where are my shoes?

Thanks Disney.

I mean…it’s getting harder and harder to buy a house as an individual. Apartment living is very real. And if you rent in a duplex, you’re not going to buy a washer/dryer.

So…yeah. I’d say not owning washer/dryer starts becoming more common if you’re under 45, and gets more common the younger you go.

Yes, that’s the word.

God I hate Earth.

So hey. I’m a bulking 6’5 man with anger management issues, drug addictions, alcoholism, and complete and total narcism. I’m clearly the greatest human to ever live. So I don’t understand why my now ex decided she didn’t want to be in a relationship with me, even though I let her cook for me, and clean the house without any appriciation for her efforts. I even gave her feedback in the form of smashing plates and giving her the gift of black eyes to show my displeasure with her her inadequecies anytime I had a sudden mood change.

Now I see Verizon and AT&T is selling userdata in real time, which is great! It means I can follow her from a distance, and then when she leaves a public place towards her car in a parking car, I can show up unexpected, even though she has a restraining order against me. Then, I can MAKE her see why she belongs to me. I can make her see that, with my fists!!! It’ll be so easy to force her into my car, and drive off with her, taking her back to my house. I can keep her in my basement, and never let her leave.

…ok, in all seriousness, I type this all out to show everybody just how very scary the concept of selling real time location data can be in the wrong hands. And now that I think of it, there is no “right hands” that info would be safe with. I can’t think of a single person on the planet who I’d want watching me, regardless of size, gender, power dynamic, ect. Just the idea of someone able to buy the ability to follow you is, without question, stalking. Stalking is illegal. So how is this any different?

And just in case anyone has gotten themself twisted about what I said above, the whole point was to offend you. The whole idea is to show how offensive that scenario would be. It’s not true with ME, but it IS true out there in the world. That guy does exist somewhere, which means some woman does have to worry about that happening at any given time…and this just makes that so much more likely.

That’s fine. Youtube is either free without ads, or non-existant. Hey, did you guys know adblock is a necessity in life? It’s true.

I started wetting the bed again when I was 11. It continued every few nights until I was 18.

Then it turns out I wasn’t urinating at all. I was just raised in a very controlling home, which meant I had no idea what masturbation was.

It wasn’t until I started having sex that I found out I had been having wet dreams for years, and getting made fun of for it by my dad.

Now my dad is in his 70s, and wonders why nobody will talk to him anymore. Newsflash asshole! You can’t talk to mommy anymore! 103 is a great age to live to, but people aren’t immortal.

Wait, so theoretically, you could create a blog, and create a Lemmy instance/community, post a blog entry, have it auto post the blog entry to your instance, and now the Lemmy comments for the Lemmy post are the comments on the blog post? Do I have that right?

And in theory THIS comment should show up on your blog, yes?

Edit: Hey, I see it!

Can’t confirm. I’ve had lucid dreams, where I’m aware that it’s a dream, but not in control.

Then I started just pissing everywhere. And I could feel my sweatpants getting soaked. And then I shit myself. And in the dream I’m panicing because I know it’s happening in real life. I’m very aware that when I wake up my sweatpants will be piss soaked, and I have shat myself. I can FEEL it happening as it happens. Then I wake up. No shit. No piss. Totally dry, and I IMMEDIATELY need to get to a bathroom. Where I shit and piss in the toilet.

And then I stand up, and there’s no shit or piss in the toilet. And I’m like “WTF??? Am I just groggy? What the hell is happening???”

Then the toilet starts talking. “FEED ME YOUR TASTY POOPS!!!” And I’m like what the fuck is going on? Am I on drugs???" And this toilet is getting angry that I won’t shit in it’s mouth. Then it starts stomping around like the piano from Super Mario 64.

Then I wake up, and IMMEDIATELY need to piss and shit. So I run to the toilet, and yell at the toilet “ARE YOU GOING TO DEMAND I SHIT IN YOUR MOUTH??? I KNOW YOUR TRICKS, TOILET!!!”

And thats when I hear my neighbors laughing, because the walls are thin, it’s 3AM, and they now think I’m crazy.

This has happened several times. I hope I never meet my neighbors.

Is there any chance that Microsoft employees could join the Blizzard union?

What does Microsoft have to do with Blizzard? Did Microsoft buy Blizzard?

Wait until you find out about Mae Young giving birth to a hand…

I thought the definition of a furry was a human fucking another human, while both are dressed like animals.

So the opposite would be two animals fucking each other dressed like humans.

So just imagine two gorillas fucking, while wearing business casual.

And in ECW, they were… DA BALDIES!!!

Until Francine tried to join, with a full head of hair. But then she clarified that she was a baldie somewhere ELSE!!!

(look, ECW in the 90s was written specifically for teenage boys…it’s very cringe remembering it now…)

BOOOOOOOOO!!! Boo I say!

Biden had a speech?

power mods,

I saw a user who’s the sole mod for a list of communities so long I don’t have a final number.
