There were a good few game shows with that theme.

I’ve noticed with my kids it’s more about streamers. They all know them by name. They’ll talk about their latest videos like we would with TV show episodes.

Many shows when we were kids were just drivers for toy sales though. Product placement was also huge and unregulated.

It becomes less meaningful as you get older.

The issue with a teen and a 30 yo is the balance of power. Kids that age haven’t dated and figured out all the red flags making abuse much more likely and easy to pull off.

Once you’re both over 30 it doesn’t really make much difference apart from potential grossness which is super subjective.

I’m not saying they weren’t shit. But electing Trump was not the way to protest.

That’s actually really not good lol

Indeed. But everyone has different levels of ability. Again mental health can drastically increase this difference.

My advice for dealing with this is using yourself as the measuring stick. Are you better than you were a year ago? Etc.

Aim to beat your personal best and that’s still good progress.

Then they clearly aren’t attainable are they? You feel they should be but the evidence says they aren’t.

Semi auto properties and params collection are long overdue. Great to see them in there.

System.Text.Json respecting nullability is also great. But may break some things if you didn’t realise you were relying on the old behaviour.

LoggerMessage source gen using primary constructors fixes a minor pain.

EF generating SQL at compile time is also pretty sweet. Better query performance from precompiled and better startup performance from not having to precompile at runtime.

All in all it looks pretty good.

A big problem is that it’s just text. In real life tone and body language go a huge way to determining how someone means to make you feel.

If someone is disagreeing with you in real life it’s much easier to tell if they just have a different opinion and respect yours or are being a dick.

Often when someone comes across really rude it’s meant in a half joking way which again would be easy to tell in an actual conversation.

These misunderstandings lead to things heating up real quick.

You basically have to change how you calculate your worth.

You are the one who set the standards that you are failing to meet.

People with depression often fall into this trap. You set a standard you can’t possibly reach and then get upset you aren’t reaching said impossible standard.

When I get thoughts like this i try to look past my thoughts and feelings and look at the evidence.

Is your son happy? Have they done anything that leads you to believe they feel let down? Etc.

Because it sounds like the only thing making him unhappy is you being unhappy.

Kids generally just want attention and love more than anything. Things are nice but they are no substitute.

Because you aren’t a 6 year old and have to use your big boy words in the adult world.

Orks and humans had no multi select 🙃 apparently they’re adding that in though which might make it playable.

Yeah better elect Trump. That’ll sort it.

Vote now. Protest later.

Literally not what I said but okay

Hopefully there’ll be a power vacuum and all the politicians currently sucking his dick will fight for control of the base. This will hopefully splinter them and they can quietly fight amongst themselves.

Yeah he sat by. Trump will almost definitely encourage and support it fully.

As did literally every other president for the last 40+ years. Now you’ve elected Trump instead. Smart.

Vote now. Protest later. Don’t elect Trump.
