Mow 'em Down

I heard about this video on the radio. I've heard it's a fake and it looks like it might be based on some of the other videos by the same guy but that wail of despair was pretty convincing. I'm going to assume it's real or that guy needs to go into acting.

The Boy is very into gaming and destroying his games (or deleting since he's on a PC) would be like setting all my books on fire. Cruel, unusual, and done at your peril. However, The Boy also has a job and a social life. He's a functional adult but he went through a basement dwelling gamer phase for a hot second before I met him.

I'm fine with gaming but there's an extreme that I just won't tolerate. If my kid is out of high school they either need to be working or volunteering or something in addition to gaming. They also need to get outside and interact with people. If they're back from college, they absolutely 100% need a job or internship. Gaming and nothing else is neither acceptable nor healthy. 

If my hypothetical kid ever has basement dwelling gamer phase, I won't destroy them but I will get creative about hiding them. You'll get outside and interact with humans so help me Odin
