  • I am posting this comment before checking myself because I’m worried I’ll forget what I was doing and not make the post.

    Isn’t that tick bite indicative of Lyme’s disease? (The bullseye welt.) Most tick bites end up looking like amped up mosquito bites, or a small wasp sting from my personal experience (small/medium welt with puncture in center, inflamed red circle radiating outward, no white ring)

    Also, what is the bug in the tick image? Doesn’t look like a tick. And the bed bug silhouette looks like a stink bug.




  • My son has had access to an iPhone 6s and iPad 2 since he was 1 or so (7 now). His devices have always been moderated to prevent him from seeing inappropriate content whether by accident or on purpose, and as he gets older I ease up on the restrictions. We have had little to no issue with him being attached to the devices, and my opinion is because he had mostly free reign over his usage barring bedtime. Even to this day he prefers to be outside playing.

    I’m sure we’re all familiar with getting something we all wanted later in life than most people. We get super attached. I did get my son an Xbox one rather late (he had wanted one for at least a year before he got one), and he is attached to that. Because he spent a good amount of time dreaming and fantasizing about it.

    My son is also high functioning autistic, (as am I), if that means anything. But this is my parenting style. Allow freedom within reasonable limits to promote individuality, unlike my parents. He sometimes watches the dumbest stuff on YouTube, but we all did and do. It’s not up to me to mold his sense of humor, I just make sure it’s appropriate for his age. Regardless if I think it’s dumb or not. I’m not 7 anymore.

    Idk man. I am shoving respect into my son’s head at all times, I show respect and love to my wife/his mom all the time, and he is misogynistic AF. I don’t get it. I am trying so hard to raise him to be respectful towards women and he just doesn’t accept it.

    He’s 7, ADHD, Autistic, etc. But I really don’t know if that even has anything to do with it because I am, too.

    I wouldn’t say it’s been debunked. Probably improbable, but in no way debunked


  • Mint was my first used, was straightforward and easy to get going. Still use mint.

    I’ve always read it doesn’t really matter what distro you choose, just to pick one you like. That’s confusing to a noob because they don’t know why they should or shouldn’t like a specific one.

    Mint is very simple to setup and works very much like a windows PC by default. Can even set it up to work like a Mac if you want to.






  • Dead Cells is amazing. It’s a side scrolling, action-adventure, RPG-ish Rogue-like game. I’ve spent so much time playing this game.

    The player takes the role of an amorphous creature called the Prisoner. As the Prisoner, the player must fight their way out of a diseased island in order to slay the island’s King. The player gains weapons, treasure and other tools through exploration of the procedurally-generated levels. Dead Cells features a permadeath system, causing the player to lose all items and other abilities upon dying. A currency called Cells can be collected from defeated enemies, allowing the player to purchase permanent upgrades.

    I personally played it on my phone with a controller, but it’s available on all major consoles iirc


  • I get what you’re saying, but it’s not a black and white situation. Drugs and porn are not the same category. One will have life-changing effects, the other usually won’t.

    Plus, parents have the ability to mostly control a child’s access to inappropriate content, as well as tobacco shops.

    It applies in the real world and the Internet on a case by case basis depending on the inherent dangers of the content.
