I feel like I play roughly the same amount of video games during the work day
as the average software developer. Does that mean I'm qualified?

children care more about boundaries and harming others because they are more
vulnerable, and their existence is predicated on the goodwill of others. It's a
scary position to be in, one that abused children are all too familiar with and
are probably rolling their eyes at the obviousness of it all.
To an adult, a child seems fragile. Like, such a small and precious thing, I
would die for it. I don't care who they become or who they've been, if I see a
child in danger I would die for it. Though I'd probably do the same for anyone
I guess.
Seems like it'd be helpful to build into the ActivityPub standard a setting
that an account can decide for itself whether it interacts with
then before it shows you any posts just check the filter and idk I feel like
that'd help a lot. Downside is creeps could set it so that no 18+ account could
read their posts, so idk give kids more moderation tools or something?

sometimes the best way to understand why things are the way they are is to ask
why they aren't the way that seems logical to you.
usually someone will correct you and say "oh it's because X Y and Z" and you
say "cool" and change your direction
but sometimes their answers "unlock" part of your past understandings, thus
creating new questions.
Sorta like in a video game when you level up a certain building/research path/
milestone / whatever and it finishes a "tier", thus giving you a larger bonus.
??? yeah so anyway more questions are good because they give you more
perspectives on what's going on around you.
