There's a pretty good op-ed by Steve Krakauer in the Hill today: https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/4470311-jon-stewart-is-about-to-learn-a-hard-truth-about-the-state-of-media-and-culture/amp/ but I'm not sure you will agree with the stance. I think it captures the issue pretty well though.

Straight cis dude here. Nana brought out the special cookies and some bitchin dress up clothes (including a top hat). Tea parties rock no matter what your orientation.
Agreed. Not really for kids though. It has a different vibe. I liken it to a tamer version of Animal Crossing v. Cult of the Lamb.
BG3 with my brother. Multiplayer FTW.
Hearing loss my dude. Army. Necessity is the mother of invention. It makes date night fun with my partner though. I can read and sign remote convos to her and sometimes that's spicy/fun. It's not perfect but I can usually follow the thread. More so if the target is animated/angry/excited. Unfortunately the best ones are the hardest. We love the first date awkward convos, the public breakups, and admissions of guilt but those tend to be subdued and difficult. When you get them though it is choice.
PopOS. Pretty satisfied.
Yeah. My wife just got a completely new career because of this. 13 years and a master's degree but she was paid fuckall so we said screw it.
I second this. We have a very similar situation. I will note that I've begun using a "carrot" approach as well as the stick. I now keep relatively cheap and fun crafts and electronics around. Cleaning a room and helping out will earn them a fun craft and that seems to work REALLY well lately. If you know how to solder you can buy a bunch of cheap but fun kits that you can do with them and reward them with as prizes. Today's (if they are compliant and helpful) is an FM radio. I do bigger ones if they do more, and I expect more on a weekend.
