Work is kinda boring right now. I'm hoping this will change before long, so that I'm at least not being paid to sit in a computer chair and literally do nothing. I'm not joking, we are literally doing nothing at work right now. And I've been there only a week.
Anyways, I spent the day browsing the internet. For a few hours I was reading the news. Something I only do when extremely bored. I really don't give two shits about news in the world, after all.
Anyways...I could go on to describe the things I read about...or I could just link you to the articles in my typical lazy-man style and be done with the matter.
I read several news articles, from hybrid cars that car companies are developing, to stuff about the upcoming election...but I mostly stuck to the tech & science articles. The following two, and some of their related articles, caught my interest in particular:
Internet’s assault on teen America continues!
Don't blame Miss Bimbo!
It seems the parents of the modern generation have a habit of not taking proper responsibility for their children, or for admitting when they've fucked up in the rearing of their children. Struggling with the concept of making a mistake, they turn to the easiest scapegoat of all: the Internet.
Back in the day, parents blamed television. Now all those kids, who were corrupted by the evil electric box, are parents themselves. The "television" these days actually comes in two flavors! Internet, and video game. The particular flavor involved in this blog is Internet.
Yes. It's the Internet's fault. Just like it's the TV's fault they're all bad parents, right?
Yeah, that's all I got for now. I vaguely fancied the idea of ranting about Dungeons and Dragons, namely about 3E v 4E and how people are really stubborn, but...I figure most of you people who would read my blog, wouldn't really care much for tabletop RPG.
I'll give you a hint though: I like 4th edition.
