A parent's job is not to shield children from life. It's to prepare them for life. You shouldn't try to keep them from ever falling over. You just need to be there to pick them back up afterward. The more you let them engage with the world, with your support, the more mature they will become. Maturity isn't something you magically acquire, it's the direct result of confronting difficult things.

Absolutely not. Free access to the Internet and a public library as a kid was crucial to my development. I was raised by a bunch of strict Christians who tried to stop us from reading Harry Potter, for Pete's sake (it had witchcraft in it). I am completely against any censoring of information in the name of 'protecting' children from 'harmful' information. You know what I did as a kid when I came across something I was uncomfortable with? I put it down and found something else to read. Kids are fully capable of making that call themselves. I'm not sure why everyone acts like they can't.

I was a Krait Phantom guy. Loved the shit out of it.

Well, he's gonna get the QAnon voters.

Hot take: group stealth checks are bad. Using a clock or 'x strikes until alarm is raised' is a lot better.

I'll add Endless Sky in there as well. It's an open-source spiritual successor to EV Nova.

I've been robbed at a busy, open public library with a gaggle of elementary kids literally 15ft away. Being in public ain't the deterrent you think it is.

Put up a damn Aldrin Cycler already.

I'll try that as my defense at my murder trial. "But your honor, at least I didn't poison an entire town!"

OP is listing all those things together because they're all unconscionable actions that should never be done. It is in fact okay to condemn them all equally.
