Topic: Lost or Found

@RogerRoger We’re all a result of our environment. So while they did come out with some fairly unsavoury comments, it seemed to be less coming from a place of hate and more coming from what’s been instilled in them from a young age. We only really grow by being open and having been exposed to other viewpoints. In many ways, the internet has helped massively in that sense.

@RogerRoger Agreed. For as much as I complain about the internet and social media, I very much appreciate the peek into different cultures, opinions, ideas, and backgrounds that this virtual international world allows. Yes, the web is a cesspool of toxicity at times, but my horizons have been opened exponentially over the last few years on account of it - which is, I think, overall a good thing. Some of lol’s customary values and point-of-view are among those that are less commonly represented in my circle.

Edit: basically what @nessisonett said 😅

I seem to recall @lolwhatno mention that they would give console to younger sibling when uni started so maybe that happened already. Or maybe the uni choice became serious and gaming took a back seat. Don't know.
I miss them too and the absolutely random discussions/debates I would have to go back pages to figure out how they got to the stage where I found them. Hope they're doing ok whatever it is.

lolwhatno Has on occasion written some rather objectionable things, such as when discussing a certain country's treatment of gay people. Honestly, their viewpoints on such topics should be challenged.

@lolwhatno Hey buddy! Good to see you’re alright and didn’t fall off the face of earth. It sounds like school is really taking it to you. It’ll all be worth it, so hang in there! But yes, I often wish I could go back to earlier times when life was simpler and parents provided everything for me and I had very few responsibilities. High School was so easy. I hate how cringey it sounds, but in the vernacular of the day, ‘adulting is hard.’ 😅

As for me, I’m well. Similar to you, I’ve been super busy, so my gaming and my engagement here has slowed some. Nevertheless, things are ok; I guess I can’t complain. Thanks for asking!

@lolwhatno nice to see your still around. Same to you. Keep up the good work (saw your post in the other thread).
