    Right? Imagine being so arrogant as to think you’ve prevented your teen from accessing content simply by monitoring the devices you control/bought for them. There are few forces as innovative or persistent as teenage sex drive.

    Though if I’m being honest, this is totally just Johnson promoting a company for money. Likely with a bonus perk of signaling how easily bought he is.

    Currently a software engineer at a biotech company. It’s got great pay and flexibility but I just can’t stand working for the profit of rich white guys.

    Have thought about becoming a physician (used to be a physiologist), but that would be the same deal unless I did private practice. Plus it’s a bad financial decision.

    Might end up a stay-at-home foster parent or write novels. My spouse is a more decorated software engineer and heckin’ loves it plus they’re fine with me not working. But like external scorn of the jobless, y’know?

    I like completing games when there aren’t tedious motor skill or multiplayer achievements. While it’s fairly modest, I’m a little proud of my 75% average Steam game completion. Can’t say why exactly. Attainable discrete task probably plays into it.

    Honestly, I’m ready for revolution and I’m fucking tired of defeatist attitudes. It’s not that there’s nothing to be done, It’s that we’re too selfish, lazy, and cowardly to take critical action....

    Honestly, I’m ready for revolution and I’m fucking tired of defeatist attitudes. It’s not that there’s nothing to be done, It’s that we’re too selfish, lazy, and cowardly to take critical action. We don’t have to stay that way.

    The consequences of inaction are clear and we need to overthrow the rich.
