  • I used to play on (pirated) Pocket Edition on my dad’s phone as a kid, since I couldn’t convince my parents to get Java Edition.

    I built an entire city in Creative mode - with a gigantic ice skating rink - and ran around showing it off to anybody that would listen. If I looked back at it these days I’d find that it leaves a lot to be desired, but my dad chucked the phone so I have no way of knowing how good/bad it is beyond my nostalgia-tinted memory.

    These days I main survival, redstone, and tech mods. I miss the days when I could build whatever I wanted without my inner critic getting in the way.


  • Tbh I’d never been allowed to use my phone at school (just graduated HS). Same goes for most schools where I live. Usually kids can bring phones, but they’re supposed to keep them powered off or in a locker on campus. Of course kids will find a way (hiding away in toilet stalls to game etc.), but still.

    I don’t see an issue with the rule itself. I don’t think there’s really a way to responsibly use a smartphone at school. If kids really need to contact parents, it shouldn’t be that difficult to ask a teacher for help. Implementing a worldwide rule seems strange to me though.









  • I get a sense of satisfaction from pushing myself and feeling more in tune with what my body is doing in space - you have to pay close attention to form, muscle exertion, etc. It’s meditative, in a way.

    On the flip side, I don’t do well in team sports because I’m clumsy with bad eyesight - I have a tendency to blame myself for being a burden on my team.

    You don’t have to work out solo if you don’t want to. Most sports qualify as cardio - you can do that instead of jogging. Besides, you can always strength train with buddies and hype each other up.
