    Interesting… she’s worried these games are like width, but her solution is to find one of her own… ok?

    It’s an interesting point she’s making, and while i agree that games can be tedious and do kind of align with a bs job, she can easily limit her kids playing those kinds of games without fear they won’t be able to eat or have shelter.

    No one works a bs job because they want to, but because they need the money.

    While games are a source of entertainment. So im not really sure the point she’s trying to make here, besides games bad. Yes, they can be bad, but as a parent it’s you’re responsibility to limit that then. And before any one asks, yes i’m a parent.

    TLDR: Severus’ cousin Zoe doesn’t get the silly nonsense the other kids are laughing about.

    We live in a world where people are connecting electronically - instead of the playground, park, school etc. Many of these otherwise engaging places are now off-limits to kids without a parent hovering over them. Good luck being a kid and wanting to explore your neighborhood on your own. Enter the electronic game where a kid can have adventures to test their independent reasoning and reward their curiosity and their friends are waiting there to hang out too. Maybe she could focus on making her local park more welcoming and engaging.

      When kids exchange socialization with other kids and instead of enjoy the day stay in a room playing 8h a day is unhealthy both mentally/physically

          When i talk 8h is with school-time included (Closed down)

          about the cs part yes i played much has well sleeping on 4am, what changed is that when you were a kid you didn’t have your dad/mom cellphone to play games from young age or a ps4 waiting for you at home (Has i said on a young age) not 15 + years old

          Well, I don’t think this article is trying to talk about you, but about some cohort. A group that got lost in games, and may not develop correctly to be a strong, healthy unit.
