I've learned that having a pre-teen is great for curing that.

Does anyone else have that masochistic urge to check back into threads that became a predictable garbage fire by the second page and are now 25, 30, 50 pages long?

I do this out of a morbid curiosity of how far afield it has gone OR how deep the rut of repetition has become - but I always feel dirty afterwards even though I don't even TRY to read the whole thread, but just check out the last page or two to get a sense of that taste I hate.

It is the forum equivalent of taking a deep sniff after someone declares they farted in order to confirm it, despite not really wanting to smell that fart. But maybe the hard truth is that we do want to smell that fart. . . sigh.

There are many, many games I will play with my kids, from D&D to Mario to backgammon to Fortnite. But I have (so far) managed to completely refuse Minecraft. My kids play it all the time, just not with me. And the time this has saved me is immeasurable. I recommend avoidance if possible.

And, yes, hardcore mode is definitely a thing.

Sometimes, just sometimes, a thread will come back around. IMX, this happens when the toxicity is caused by a small number of loud individuals who get themselves booted. Then the rest of the thread can breathe easily again.

...until the next fart. You gotta get back in between farts.

I don't play it with him much (it's not as bad as the old Doom game, but it makes me nauseous). I have learned a lot about it by osmosis though!

Nice, Popeyes way better than KFC. Well, except the sides are junk. Pro tip, just get the chicken and biscuits.
