All this talk about smart cellphones being dangerous for kids makes me wonder why y’all seem to think the risk and exposure are anavoidable.

unavoidable.

Browser functionality here is only about 10%. Buttons do not work. Edit, Quote, Reply functions - nothing. Delete does not work either.
But upper and lower cases DO work. First time in years, I think. How 'bout dat.

Maybe you should consider buying a new keyboard

I remember in that game Second Life that was kind of the same, there were people making some decent money. There was one woman that was making six figures as a virtual real estate agent.

My sister was into SL for years. I tried it but didn’t get the appeal. Maybe it was the people running around with penises on their heads or something. Just seemed hella weird to me.

Yeah, I played it a little bit when there were some WW2OL guys causing chaos. I joined that group and was promptly issues a Wehrmacht uniform to wear in game as we went around fucking with people. One funny time was when we went to the Muslim land or whatever it was called and it was G rated. We were told by the mod or whatever “we love you Hitler, but you can’t use bad language here”.
I did explore it a bit on my own and there were some interesting things people created and a lot of freaky shit that made you wonder how fucked up that person was irl.

That would require money.

Stupid
Particularly on something as commoditized as a mouse. I had to look at what mouse I’m using, it’s this one:

I certainly never bought it; It must have came free with a computer I bought in the last 5 years. It has 6400 DPI, 7 buttons and RGB lighting and I’ve never had a complaint with it but, it’s so cheap it was thrown in with something else. Amazon Egypt are still selling them for $13.50.
The above mouse just died on me. I even booted into windows and installed three months of updates to check it was the mouse and not some Linux thing that caused the problem.
First mouse in ~35 years of using them that I can recall I had to bin because it stopped working.
