Most things are fine in moderation, demonizing everything you like is how you get miserable and crave them more

The town my parents live in would rather pay fines every year than build the state mandated amount of affordable housing and risk, gasp, lowering property values!

Exactly. I told her that 8gb might be fine for a year or two, but if she wants this thousand plus dollar laptop to last four years she needs to invest the extra money now. Especially once she told me she might want to play Minecraft or Shadow of the Tomb Raider on it

My sister just bought a MacBook Air for college, and I had to beg her to spend the extra money on 16gb of memory. It feels like a scam that it appears cheap with the starting at price, but nobody should actually go with those "starting at" specs.

Phone maybe, but not a SIM card with data. Although you can do a lot without a SIM card if your school has public WiFi I guess

I strongly believe that a large part of the reason China is so strict with underage phone and game restrictions is because the parents are at work for too long to do any real parenting. Ideally parents should be the ones making those choices and actually monitoring their kids, but since I don't have kids I can't really say for myself.

I've been boycotting it for a while but honestly it's not hard. If I'm going to spend Starbucks money on a drink there are so many better places around.

I made my AOL mail account in 2006 and still use it. I don't use it as my primary email anymore, but I have hundreds of accounts tied to it

Golf peaks was great, if I ever get play pass again or want to buy a new game I'll check the others out. Thanks!

I've switched to indie games or older releases in my backlog

Yes, but Nvidia finally open sourced their driver so hopefully that'll change soon
