Over at the p's.. so naturally means tech support. Jeez they panic.
It's sort of ironic. Back in the day as kids they'd slightly try and limit our screen time (pre smart phones)... talkin' N64 days.. confiscating that shit mid lylat wars / waveracer / 1080 binges like despotic barbarians. Now they beg to keep all their shit working and can't function without their devices. I'd love to see another carrington event.
E: ooh a downvote. Someone didn't do a barrel roll. Just realised if you type 'do a barrel roll' in chrome it does one. lol.
I'm a betting gal. I bet fat finger.
yup :)
Lol I see the same with my mother who was draconian about limiting use of the PC (also pre smartphones - but no consoles at home) and is now mindlessly addicted to puzzle games on her phone. so bad she would sometimes text me when in the same house rather than come talk to me
