Wow. I admit people having affairs aren’t the most sympathetic victims, but what a shitty position to take. I hope whatever websites you frequent aren’t the next ones targeted for major leaks of customer data, lest you find out what it’s like as well.

I own one of these, and I absolutely love it. It’s a real peace of mind for me. The power in my area is really touchy and it’s frustrating having to shut down every time there’s a thunderstorm.

Agreed. Diplomacy is, as I like to put it, not a board game. It’s a social game. The board is really just there to keep track of where everyone stands.

Well, you did say “If you don’t want to deal with timers or constant monitoring, this is for you!” - but as soon as an actual need for a computer for anything other than mindless play comes up, it’s back to timers or constant monitoring. I just find that reinforces the wrongheaded notion that a computer, and the…

Ugh! My aunt is one of those plan-down-to-the-minute helicopter parents, and I get stressed just watching her deal with my young cousins whenever I visit my family. How on earth do you stand keeping track of your daughter literally down to the minute?

Sounds more passive-aggressive than perfect...

I’m not sure it’s fair to exclude ‘screen time’ from being at least “things that expand your mind.” I learned to write, at first, from writing shitty fanfiction as a kid, which I did on my computer. I learned more from reading things online and making friends on old, text-based web forums than I did at school. Things…

The idea that “glowing screens” are a thing to be reduced is, itself, an implication that such time is bad. It’s not - it’s neutral. “glowing screen” time could be video gaming, chatting with friends, or doing homework, or being creative, or a billion other things. Often more than one thing at a time.

The thing about screens is you can get lost in them for eight hours at a time in the same position on the couch or in bed and never look up.

This person’s son is thirteen - meaning he’ll be in high school next semester, depending on whether he has an early or late birthday - and he’s so bad at time management that his mom needs to tell him what he has to do and in what order?

This mindset in the picture approaches “glowing screens” as being useless toys. That’s just plain not true. I feel like someone’s 80 year old Luddite grandmother wrote that, having no idea how important “glowing screens” are to things like homework, or being “productive” or “creative.” When I was her son’s age I was…

I’m really disappointed in Steam and Rockstar.

Me too.

I’m handing them $85 in USD, they’re handing me $100 in Steam Wallet dollars, which I’m converting into $400 worth of games in the next week.

Seems like the perfect time.

Very unlikely. My projected shipping date was the 11th through the 18th.

There is not going to be a recurring fee or subscription-based model for Windows 10.

While many police departments in the U.S. don’t set any quotas at all, some may still have minimums set in place

At least to me it’s more an attitude thing than failing to include the list of cities it’s in. Yeah, it is just one click away. But if you’re going to be lazy, don’t also be smug about it and insult people.
