Adults will make every waking moment a fresh bleak hell for children and then be like, "social media is making them depressed!"

My sibling in christ, you have the causation backwards

@PallasRiot Every boomer and GenXer I know who is obsessed about children having "too much screen time" are terrible killjoy parents/grandparents in other ways also -- the kind of person who takes away the whole bag of Halloween candy and offers a single nonfat carob-oatmeal cookie to replace it.

Meta lost $3.85 billion on the metaverse in the first quarter of 2024 alone. You know, that thing we all laughed about a couple years ago and next to no one actually uses.

It’s burned $45 billion on the metaverse since the end of 2020.

I’m very fond of stories in a universe where some advanced, but long vanished, race of enigmatic aliens has left behind strange artifacts: like puzzle boxes or dungeons for our heroes to explore and nearly get killed in. If not aliens let it be a lost human civilization.

I also like to think about those ancient people who built the ‘Temple of Doom’— for all of those traps to work so well after thousands of years they must have been very clever. What was it like to set them up?

@futurebird If TrapTempleBuilder2000 was a game, I would play it.
