  • Of Monsters and Men disappointed me with their second album.
    As mentioned by another user, Mumford & Sons went a weird and unfortunate direction.

    I’ll say that I am glad that The Postal Service dropped one perfect album and never released anything ever again.
    Also, while Daft Punk did change over time (maybe hardcore house fans grew to hate them), I would argue that their albums only got better over time and their final album was absolute musical perfection.
    Their breaking up was the most bittersweet decision I’ve seen in music.




  • Yeah I really called it wrong on my initial comment.
    I took a look at my pwned history and it looks like we share a lot of sites.
    Quite concerning and now I am at least using a password manager.
    I am still on LastPass but am considering others.
    It simply “works” in my case though, and I’m not sure how easy it would be to change to a new one so with them I stay.
    It sucks that they made it into a “pay to play” if you want full cross platform access, but I use my gaming PC for so few sites that it isn’t a huge deal to just lock my LasPass to iOS.





  • Can you please go into the specifics of why you don’t let your kids play Roblox?

    I had been avoiding it until a well intentioned relative got my son a Roblox gift card.
    It was immediately made clear that I was against the game which created an awkward situation for my relative.
    I decided to soften my stance, and use it as a teaching moment.
    I explained how the game works and how my son was to use his Robux.
    He was to play the game(s) for a certain length of time and then make an informed decision about where to spend his money at.
    Of course he spent it on some stupid powerup on a game that he ended up stopping playing some days later.
    We used it as a teaching moment for both of my kids and what a waste of money the game is.
    I also explained to them how P2W games are predatory in nature, and that I would never personally allow them to pay a single cent into Roblox or any other game.
    My son is constantly proud of how he is F2P and always beating all of the P2W noobs.



  • With the current wave very quickly picking up steam, chances are we will be through the worst of it by the time vaccines are available / taken by those still willing to go through with it.

    I think I am 4-5 shots deep at this point, and have had a natural infection once. It was horrible where I fully lose my taste for a number of weeks.
    Then as taste / smell began to return some things were “wrong.”
    It took months for coffee to return to normal.
    If I had to live like that… well, let’s say those months had very unwelcome new dark thoughts that took me by surprise.
