Kids must be the first priority, all day everyday. Games come when you have the time, and if you're not able to play for 3 weeks, that's how life goes as a good parent.

I have nothing to say about people who go out to places together sometimes also playing together in a game occassion, all fine and well.

Multiplayer with random whoever happens to be online at the time, that's the stuff I call entirely useless and pointless.

Every and all people who can play games for a consistent 12 to 18 only have a screwed future ahead of them. 3 to 4 hours of games can be a great time, 18 straight hours of gaming, that person has emotional problems.

Would you agree that games are simple entertainment, not a goal in life, to one day get good a specific game for multiplayer?

As an exclusive campaign single player, I say every and all multiplayer is trash garbage. Games are strictly entertainment for something to enjoy. Winning is irrelevent, the experience is what's important.

I only buy games that have a story campaign with replay value and I refuse to do any online multiplayer. I don't feel better for beating other people, it's nothing more than a game. People are not interested in how many times someone else wins at video games, it's only a hobby. People who cheat in games are losers who have nothing outside, going out with friends to enjoy.

For privacy, any ISP can technically see everything you do online including phone using wi-fi unless a device or syatem uses a VPN, Tor, or i2p, but that does not mean the ISP is keeping records of what an account does online. They may have no interest.

For security, you definitely need your own router. If you can build a system to use as a router running OpenBSD or pfSense, at leaat use a router with open source firmware so your router traffic is not going to someone else and an open source router will give you a lot more extensive network functionalities.

Please help me understand, is that supposed to hurt my feelings or am I supposed to be overwhelmed by that? Am I supposed to ask how you can be obtuse?

I am fully with you on your general premise, I'm in agreement with you. It's people completely lose their minds and lose all self control as soon as someone says "I don't believe in vaccines", without thinkingabout the people around them everyday in public who never got it and they will never know.

That's what I mean about responding to rage and anger, and not having the humility to care for others without getting wrapped up in having contrary views and being of service and gentle care to others.

I don't ask for agreement or complience in order to be close friends with anyone.

I understand what you're saying, social media runs on anger to get that engagement, getting those clicks. There does not seem to be a single site that is ruled my reactions, even Mastodon and Lemmy push having the correct opinions. Due to all of tue deletions, both Lemmy and Mastodon will never grow, never catch on, and there is no future in them. As bad as Twitter is, users are not punished for having the wrong view. Mastodon is a wonderful site, the censorship is why Mastodon will forever be nothing.

The one big thing that I see would drasticly change both the internet and the real world is if there is strict protection of offensive opinions. If someone is not insulting anyone but express a completely diffetent view on a topic, it harms nobody by someone taking a contrary position during a discussion. It seems that people van't deal in nuances, everything gets politized and label, and those labels are always a marker of "Those people have the wrong opinion and they don't have the correct belief like we do, we know better than them."

What you say about a morbid curiosity to see the affects of an accident, I don't. When I'm out and see an ambulance going at full speed, I silently start praying while I continue on and pray for whoever that ambulance is going to help, asking for healing, recovery, and to be made whole again. I'm nt bothered when I'm out if someone has a stupid attitude, and if someone's visibly emotional, check on them and see if there is anyway to be of service to them in their moment of grief.

All I'm talking about is having a heart for humanity, and taking an interest in other people's life and well being, eventually it will come around and someone will go out of their way to care for you because they are interested in see you doing well or being successful in your own life.

It sounds like you live by fear and self preservation, giving no consideration for how to show care for others and being an example of a better way of interacting with others to leave a positive impact on people's life.

You missed my entire point. I was driving at the exact opposite. Why can't people be good to each other in person, stop using internet to live out a delusional fantasy. I was ask why do people talk tough online and insult everyone, but that same person is a coward on the steet. I suspect if Canadian born people had a stronger sense of hospitality, speak with humility, and showed a gentle care for people around, there wouldn't be people spewing rage online.

Since it's clear that people are angry and lonely, if they want someone to care, there has to be a reason to care, but North Americans are a callous self indulgent people. They want change, want better, but won't put in the work to start changing the social dynamics. There really are cultures that will invite new people into their home, that's how I grew up, and those culturals don't have the same social problems when out in public.

The only way to have total privacy is no internet and no phone.

The ones who rant the loudest about priavy are always people who don't have the technical skills to configure a network to fully know how it all works. It actually is possible to have a setup that has so much privacy it is either unusable, or it show a level of grandiose narcissism. What people can do is a lot of little things, and accept what can never be change.

As a starting point, if a person wants to have extremely strict priacy, use GrapheneOS and in F-Droid settings turn off all of the anti-features so no apps are listed with any anti-features. Do not use cell service, and yes that means no data for going out, use a web-based VoIP. On computer/laptop, install OpenBSD, and build a router to run a OpenBSD firewall. All of those steps will instantly have a massive impact on protecting privacy and will have a lot more real world skills to utilize.

What you're saying is people don't want the responsibility of their own words. Life has a way of punishing people for bad things nobody witnessed. I say that in the sense of "Death is coming for you, how are you going to get out of it?".
