  • If I’m whoever is in charge of Roblox, I’d have shut down Roblox’s ability to grant users access without being 18+, or having parents permission. I’d have done that years ago, when the first reports were coming out about how Roblox is a nesting ground for pedophiles. That was like 10+ years ago.

    The fact that it’s STILL an issue would suggest either they haven’t taken proper restrictions, or that they haven’t shifted responsibility to the parents to monitor their childrens activity.

    My 13 year old niece LOVES minecraft. My sister and brother in law will check in from time to time, and make sure everything’s safe. When she was 6 years old, she couldn’t even play minecraft online. Not even with me. With the logic being that if she can play with me, there’s a chance others could hack their way into the game. I’m 40, they’re 50, and to me it doesn’t seem like that’s possible. But they don’t understand video games at all. I’d rather they lay on the side of caution for things they don’t understand.

    For example, I don’t understand Roblox. The game was already known as a pedophile playground before my niece was even allowed to play video games. So I’ve never played it, and neither has she. I’d rather that be true, than her getting the wrong kind of attention online. She’s a smart 13 year old, but she is still…ya know…a teenager. And therefore a dumbass. I’d never say that to her, as I don’t mean anything insulting by it, but all teenagers are going to be dumbasses. There’s some things you should let them be dumbasses about, fail, and learn, and then there’s other things that they need to be protected from as legitimate dangers. Such as sexual preditors.

    The fact that Roblox is still dealing with problems they had in 2012, tells me they don’t care. So maybe they should be killed off.








  • the only person on the planet that believes influencers as far as I can throw them.

    This phrase doesn’t work though. Unless you’re some body builder type, and can throw them really really far.

    But even that doesn’t make sense either. Because if you said

    “I only trust this guy 18 feet…”

    the other person would say

    “…18 feet? What? What does THAT mean???”

    And you would say “What??? You think you can throw a man 19 feet??? Ok. Go grab him. Go. Go grab that man, and throw him 19 feet. Show me.”

    At about this time I think they would just call the cops, assuming you have mental problems, and violent tendancies.

    Which to be fair…yeah. You’re over here talking about how far you can pick another man up against their will, and how far you can throw them.

    Although, how have we never made that an olympic event? You get a bunch of fat guys in a bar, and some body builder muscleheads, and see who wins. If the fat guy can escape, his time to escape is measured. Fastest fat guy gets the medal. Or, if he gets thrown, farthest throw distance wins the medal.

    I’d watch that.


  • I’d accept the job, and then write the WORST assballs articles about how Mario isn’t trying to save the princess. He’s hunting her down to get more mushrooms. She’s not being kidnapped. She’s spending quality time with her husband. She’s not a princess. She works at a white castle. Which back in the 80s, still had some of the old royal castle buildings in use.

    And Luigi isn’t his frightened little brother who won’t go on adventures because he’s scared. He’s just some guy who cleans and flips houses.

    And Princess isn’t surrounded by her toads loyal servicemen. Those are dildos. Yes, ALL of them.

    And then when they reject my work, I’d be like “Oh…then you are NOT going to like my article of pacman taking drugs and being racist…”






  • Me: 41.

    "Fortnite wasn’t a thing? I didn’t know it left. But also, you can’t say it’s coming back permanently. The roman empire lasted 1000 years. It was all some people knew for hundreds of generations. Even the roman empire wasn’t permanent. And I highly doubt some free to play shooter game is going to last 1000 years. I mean could you imagine? Still using technologies from 1000 years ago? Hmmmmm, maybe the wheel? When was the wheel invented? Had to be before 1000AD, right? Huh…I guess my knowledge of history prior to the 1700s is kind of hazy. Well…besides Columbus being a raging asshole and racist. That part is pretty well documented. I mean he was a slave owner. Although I wonder if at the time slave ownership was considered morally wrong? We KNOW it was known as being wrong by the 1860s. America fought a whole war over it. But columbus was almost 400 years earlier. I wonder if it was like how most people today know pollution is wrong, and climate change is bad, but hell if as a society we’re going to give up cars, and plastic water bottles, and soooooo much disposable waste. I mean, people like to talk shit about starbucks CEO for living in L.A., and running a company daily out of Seattle, and using a daily private jet to commute instead of just using zoom, or moving to Seattle, but they don’t actually take time to think that maybe if every single person gave up their cars, and their styrofoam plates, and their red solo cups, that the world global impact would be drastically lowered. Not that the starbucks CEO should be defended. He should be shot out of a canon into the sun. Wait…we shouldn’t fuck with the balance of the sun. If we fuck the sun, we’re all fucked. Ok, what if we just shot him out into a black hole? Well shit. If we’re getting black holes involved we should get some science observation involved. Strap him up with observable communication, ya know? I realize that 99% chance his molocules are crushed inward and he’s crushed into nothing, so the communication would just go dead. I get it…but what if? Some of the greatest scientific accomplishments were discovered completely by accident. So what if we discover that black holes hold other properties we don’t know yet? The PLAN is to destroy him, but if we discover the secrets of timr travel instead? Hey, happy accident.

    …where are my shoes?
