Exactly. That's what I came to realize. We all waste time with different activities, so I don't think it's fair to judge gaming as a time waster. However, back to the original post, I do agree it's addictive and detrimental to child behavior. It's designed to be addictive, just like social...
Okay. I just had a revelation.
If someone were to say they spend 2-4 hours watching TV in the evening, does that warrant the same harsh judgment as gaming for 2-4 hours? Still a waste of time, IMO. But I've never been a big TV person since I got a job at 16. Used to watch MTV for hours on...
Imagine how much more knowledge one would possess if one read 2-4 hours every day.
edit: If one worked out for an hour and read for 1-3 hours every day, he or she would be more physically and mentally fit than someone who used those hours for gaming. If you have time in your day to do that and...
So are you arguing that a benefit of gaming is that you can potentially get a job working for a gaming company? Kind of like being a dope pusher? or a high-level dope dealer?
You said it all, right here.
I am not an expert on many things, but I AM somewhat of an expert on kids. I have yet to figure out any kind of benefit from the games.
@Flying_Lavey based on this, one may argue that the brand IS important. We had our first Dometic dual zone go out (in all honestly, I suspect it wasn't closed all the way in Havasu in October and burned up the compressor, our fault. Same one @AzMandella posted). It was within the warranty...
We have two. Different brand though. Dometic. One stays in the motorhome basement, and the other for the back of the truck when camping, or trips to Costco. We love them. The one in the motorhome has two sections that can be set at different temps. Two freezers, two fridges, or one of each...
Only a $5K bail? She is a menace to society! I'd bet if you were to go back and look, toddlers and infants around her have developed strange bruises also.
Our first jet boat was disco gold with black interior. I burned my a$$ so many times!
So, I guess the answer is me. I buy a boat with a black interior 🤣
On a related note, my son works on a construction site with about 20% Navajo workers. They shut down for the day. Navajo are not supposed to go outside during the eclipse. The sun is dying and being reborn. Now THAT is something to be hyped about.
That is a bunch of b.s.! I remember in 2017, we had our state testing going on. These weren't the big end-of-year tests, just our tests to gauge growth at the district level. MY kids were the ones scheduled to test during the same time as the eclipse. So the whole school was going to get to go...
