A lot of games on Steam have “trading cards,” digital cards that don’t really do anything but you can craft badges and get stuff like custom emoticons with them. Or, for the rest of us, you can sell them for, depending on the game, anywhere from $0.05 to $0.20/card, usually with 3-5 cards per game. Doesn’t sound like…
Scam is a really strong word for what they’re doing. A lot of people don’t really mind how ABP brings about its list of “acceptable” ads as long as A: you can opt out of those too and B: those ads are genuinely unintrusive. That’s far from a scam.
What region are you in? Because it’s listed at $59.99 for me, in the US.

That voucher code doesn’t actually seem to work, at least not with games on sale. Is there some list somewhere of exclusions?

Funny you should mention Target.
Ooh, quick to make it personal, aren’t we. While I have no particular reason to defend myself on such grounds, I’ll point out first and foremost that I’m single, which does give me little reason to use a website for arranging affairs. Secondly, maybe you think it’s okay to victimize others if you personally disagree…
I’m perfectly okay with people who cheat getting found out by their spouses. Having personal identity information held ransom and/or being leaked to the public, not so much. That just sucks.
Having private information leak in a major hack sucks even if the site you go to is mundane. It’s funny you should mention Target, in fact...
So, you think it’s okay to victimize people as long as you personally disapprove of what they do?
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?
