!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Depression can have many causes and as a parent, I believe it is important to be available for your kids. Mentally, physically, but also emotionally. Take them the way they are and show support. Lead by example. Teach them how the world works, let them be part of your thought processes and make decisions together. But besides that, what else can I do?
I wish I had tips and tricks. Nothing replaces being there in your kids' lives, but of course, that's not really actionable more than holistic.
I feel bad because our kids are going to inherit an exceptional shit sandwich and the only way for the species to make it is if a lot of them see past the culture wars and hate and focus on unifying against a worldwide threat as ecosystems collapse and we all choke on the effluence the vroom-vroom crowd insist we accommodate. I love giving them good news, but also want them to be aware

I love Carr. Hope he's right. Really really really hope.
just one example of the manifold crazy issues we have to face:
