Glad you're still at it. @holoz0r and @shaidon came to the meetup on Thursday, also @killerdragon24, @ctrpch and a new guy.
Haven't established his account name yet :)
This coming social media ban for under 16s is going to force everyone to dox themselves to use Facebook, Twitter, etc; I've been thinking the next few months might prove fertile timing for a recruitment drive.
The esafety commish can't sue a blockchain.
Honestly, I rather have the kids spend time on HIVE-Blogs than FB/IG and all that. Here, they can learn things and get exposed to some really good content. That's not the case anywhere else anymore 😅 But we'll see, maybe Hive will become big enough to be felt as a threat to the government 🤣
Don't forget TikTok, now kids want to be tiktokers... It's full of dumb videos or challenges they copy...
It's all rubbish and kids are mostly fucken dick heads.
I'll try and grow mine not a dumbass, for now he doesn't even know whats a tablet
It's an uphill battle these days! But I'm working on the same, though she knows what that is already. At least she's not totally fixated on screens and knows that she can watch a movie per week, and is fine with that.
Until they are little it is not too hard, the problem I think is when they grow up and at school everyone else watches screens, that will be a tough battle I think... For now it's still ahead time for me
I talked a lot about that with a friend of mine who's daughter is just in that age. He thinks like us, and his daughter is very conscious, and yet she does have problems controlling the screen-impulses, which she knows and expressed herself. The issue for her is loneliness, it's isolating to not do the same as others, even though it's harmful. And it's hard to find other kids like that in the same age group around here. Most grow up being shut up with screens, and get used to it.
It's going to be interesting how all that develops in the next 5-6 years, until Lily hits that age. Until now, the Waldorf school is a great complementary to my style of upbringing, so I'm not too worried.
Thanks mate...I recall we once did a big sheet where each of us did our projections on where we thought we'd be on Hive - I wonder what came of it.
Yeah, I heard that was coming into effect soon, and none too soon I think. Social media has a lot to answer for.
I miss the meet ups but since it's all about Splinterlands, or so it was the last we spoke of it, I haven't bothered as I have no interest or knowledge of it, and no desire to.
I think another user who is no longer active took that sheet with him. We've not seen him for a bit, but Adelaide is a small place, and he's still alive, just dormant on HIVE and other places they were previously active.
I doubt they have that sheet anymore.
I know for sure my predictions were wrong about my personal holdings, I wanted my dream camera lens, and acted upon it.
I've had nothing in Splinterlands for a long time now, and the most recent meet up, probably owing to my presence, wasn't 100% about Splinterlands ;)
The salt and pepper squid was delicious. We've relocated to the Duke of Brunswick now, if you want to catch up next month. Maybe we can do some curation or downvoting together :D
Sheet thief!
I remember the cheese burgers at that other place fondly.
Let me know when it is, I'll see what I can do.
This place serves burgers too, many gluten free options present as well. The food options are much more varied.
Last Thursday of every month, from 6PM. That means the next one is August 28th :)
Just don't run away in horror at the sight of my much longer hair and much longer beard.
I'll have to skip August then, (work trip in Sydney that week), I'll keep it in mind for the following month.
I'll try to remain in place rather than run away to some other place. Lol.
September it is ;)
I'll be back from a work trip to Brisbane by the last Thursday so it'll work out.
Damn I forgot about that. I think it was like 5 years, and we did it in 2017 and pulled it out again in 2022. I was wildly bullish.
Yes, we've definitely focused more on Splinterlands, mostly because that's where the rapid developments have been. Hive's much more consistent, month to month; so less to catch up on.
Yeah, I figured that that was why the meet up morphed into a Splinterlands meet up. Makes sense.
