Also don't forget to be proud of *her* achievements. Celebrate victories you wouldn't for yourself because she's new and therefor they're obviously new to her, so share in that.

Halo both challenged me to be good enough to beat legendary, then Halo 2 taught me why I shouldn't bother on certain games. At a certain point memorizing levels and locations of the few functional weapons just got less fun than playing it on just a harder mode.

Back her up. Cover her exposed angles and keep an eye on her back while she checks stuff out.

I game with my nieces and nephews and basically just go on bodyguard mode. I've been gaming for decades and they're just kids, so there's absolutely no chance we can work on the same game mode. So I have to make my entertainment in the easier modes by focusing on headshots, or clean kills, or dramatic, whatever, while protecting my niece or nephew and helping them through the game. If you get to a certain compatibility you can up the difficulty and let her rely on you more while growing herself.

But obviously she's not going to get engaged in the game if she's just following and watching you kill everything. So ask yourself how much you want to game with her, then apply that desire.

Pretty much my only critique of RDR2, aside from the extremely slow beginning, is that their quests were often very segmented, step by step, do this now do this now do this. They were pretty epic, but just so controlled in that way. It really sucked some of the fun out of it, like you were just flipping switches.

As long as we're talking about actual white supremacists and not "I disagree so you're a white supremacist".

Goes both ways.

I mean.... there were problems then. I'm not sure I appreciate having been able to stumble across execution videos and other such horrible shit when I was a teenager.

But debate? Different story, haha. Yes, definitely prefer being able to have discussions. Voice an opinion, wrong or right, it got corrected, we all called each other every name but didn't care, free speech is great.

Bunch of crazy disinformation! Like remember how everyone heard that Marilon Manson removed a rib to be able to suck his own dick? Fucking crazy! Oh well.

I have very recently learned that lesson. I tried asking questions, just simple questions. They respond with such hostility I eventually would give a "You're a nutjob" response and BAM. Banned permanently. I'd even request why, pointing out that it took constant aggression that they ignored for me to finally insult back. And I got another insult from a mod, calling me a child and asking me why the rules don't apply to me while ignoring the rest. I check out that sub later? Nothing but constant violations of what they banned me for.

Social media is not for disagreement or free thought anymore. The lunatics took control of the asylum for now.

According to upvotes I'm an incredibly nice person on every different subreddit... until politics. Then I'm an irredeemable asshole because I disagree.

And these radicals think that's convincing.

Problem is that's such a subjective standard. And reddit moderators are known for being of their own ideological slant.

If "disinformation" is defined as "I disagree" or "I'm more skeptical because I disagree, thus I'll enforce a higher standard" is toxic and shuts down the conversation. This creates a bubble that helps to radicalize and further creates disinformation by only presenting limited information.

Put a pillow under your chest to help prop yourself up. That's how I game on a mobile if I'm lying down. The pillow helps take the pressure off your elbows.

"extreme conspiracy theory" these days means anything anybody disagrees with.
