I had Legos so long ago that we still called them “Legos” and the Lego Men that came with them were called “Lego Men” and not “Minifigs.” Also, even the girls were Lego Men. They were just lady Lego Men.
I played with Legos and my Lego Men. And I will die on that personal hill.

We had Minecraft and Lego as kids as well and still played outside a lot. I thought that mix was still mostly normal, is it not?

They widened the roads, increased the speed limits, and made the cars bigger and more blind.

So kids died, a lot, and parents banned going outside unaccompanied. Kids got tired of asking mum’s permission to go to the park like a baby, and just played video games instead.

That and the third place is being and has been turned into a place where you go to buy something instead of just enjoy yourself and spend time with friends. There’s nowhere for kids of any age to go that doesn’t charge a fee to get in(some parks), doesn’t have rules against talking(libraries), hasn’t been made obsolete(malls, arcades), or is unreligious.

I had a lot of silly conversations before stumbling onto this.

I was like this about books as a teen, one time i accidentally pulled an all nighter on a school night. Well, I realized it was 5am and figured there’s no point in sleeping for 2 hours.
