    I’d never heard of S mode until my aging mother needed to get on a Zoom call with her doctor, and I couldn’t install the app on her laptop because of it.

    I set her up to use the web browser mode instead. Leaving it on was for the best at that point. I kinda figured S mode meant senior mode like for old people or something, idk. It certainly prevented her from installing anything bad by accident: and it was just a youtube and email thing for her anyway.

    I’m 60 hours deep on Palworld less than two weeks in while maintaining a full-time job. I don’t buy games to make statements, I buy them because they’re fun to play. And this particular one really is a ton of fun to play. Yes, they’re clearly ripping off pokémon and breath of the wild and elden ring, and I’m sure a few other games. But it’s a lot of fun nonetheless.

    I think the issue could be distilled down to the fact that women globally have been forced due to economic factors to choose the workplace over the home. It’s a good idea for women to have equal rights in the workplace, and they should be able to choose a career over a family. But basically, every economy shifted to the point where now you need two average salaries to support a household. This means keeping one parent home to watch the kids is financial suicide for most families.

    The results are fewer children, dumber children, and a shittier society. Tax incentives for having kids are a start, but not nearly enough to tip the scales at all.
