Scarier when you realize there’s more like him.

Do you exist solely to do drugs??

Where funny.

I was like that too before I got glasses (I knew I had vision issues, but not how severe it was). I can’t stand 720p anymore.

So from what I’m seeing, it’s just repackaging all the DLC and CC stuff into one bundle. Awful. A lot of the CC mods are not even that good. I don’t see how they think this is a good value over the bundle that comes with all the DLC already.

Probably because it was most people’s taste of true freedom of expression? I didn’t use Newgrounds, but that was the internet for me and why the edgy shit was peak comedy.

Same behavior can be seen when leaving a classroom of elementary school children without an adult. At least a couple will go wild. 🤠

Oh that makes sense. Hope it works out for you.

I don’t ask this in a judgemental way: why would you choose to live in rural Brazil over Germany?

This was my first thought. It’s less hoping for a reward and more avoiding being fired for not being good enough.

Have you watched Thunderbolts and the new Superman? They do actually rescue people (Superman way more).

I was thinking in the theater while watching Thunderbolts: “Huh, a scene where the heroes are rescuing people? I haven’t seen that in a long time.”

Superman even saved a squirrel. 🤩

Oh goodness…

Isn’t OP mocking them?

As “someone who gets distracted very easily,” he made the change to reclaim his attention span. Ditching his laptop gave him an environment where “YouTube isn’t around the corner” and he can focus on his reading.

This is just avoiding the issue of having a short attention span.

Reminds me a lot of fellow classmates at my college who I discovered hate online classes because they say they can’t stay focused. So I don’t know how these “luddite” students plan to not get distracted when their job will most likely involve sitting in front of a computer.

Being good to your customers shouldn’t be some wild concept.

Not anymore, of course. But nothing beats that brain rot apart from sites that hijack your controls.

Same way you survive live TV. You learn to mentally block out ads.

Why did you have to remind me of this. 😢

This is some sage advice!!!

I would let him have the same stuff as his classmates

By the way, this one really stings. Sucks to not be able to participate with friends using their phones. Sucks even more to have to borrow it because you need to participate in a class activity that requires it or have to do something urgently and no way to use a computer.

I’m not gonna be a Luddite and say smart phone bad. However, you seem concerned so I’d recommend locking it down as much as possible if you want to keep them off stuff like TikTok or Xitter.

As an anecdote, having a smart phone made school much more tolerable since it let me watch TV during lunch, browse memes when waiting in awfully long lines daily, and being able to listen to music when allowed was awesome. They’ll definitely be grateful for one, just gotta make sure it’s not abused.

Also, they’re going to need to be acquainted with the little computer in their pocket eventually. Good to do it before they reach the rebellious phase.
