            Oh shit my bad, it’s just X Always links to XVideos so I thought it was the same thing.

            This X naming scheme is pretty cool, I like the consistency, X, XVideos, XBox, not very creative but very recognizable

              Then there is the confusingly named spaceX, but be wary, the X is at the end, meaning it is not part of X

              XHamster on the other hand

    I can’t speak for anyone else but me, but I always enjoy the hobbies my boys take up. My boys are in their learning to program phase, and of course being a programmer myself, I couldn’t be happier. But I’m just as content discussing (mostly listening to) whatever they’re doing in Roblox on any given day.

      My dad did his absolute best to try to relate to me. I was weird, didn’t get into sports, played a lot of video games, and have been in and out of bands since I was 15 or 16. He came and watched us practice out in the shed (when we were fucking awful) and bought video games he thought I’d like (he was very wrong, but I loved them anyway).

      These days we play an online game together a few times a month and trade barbecue recipes. We’ve even sent each other our dry rubs for brisket and ribs. I’m a middle aged dude and that guy is my fucking rock.

      Keep being there for your boys and in 30 years they’ll talk about you like you’re the best person they know. I wouldn’t trade my dad for anything in this world. I don’t always agree with him, but he’s still one of the best people that have ever existed.

    I wanted to take up percussion and was having a lot of fun with the schools xylophone and drum kits. I even signed up for band. Was told I needed to buy my own equipment but even though I had a job I was busy buying food for my household with the cash coming in.
    I ended up asking my estranged father who did actually help out and buy a drum for me which my mother than turned around and sold for less than it was bought for and left me only the drum mat and a single pair of sticks.

    Parents that support their children are such a blessing that I don’t think the kids who grow up in it fully comprehend it. And to end up entitled from being over supplied everything and not appreciating it doubly disappointing.

    Look after, love and support your kids when they seem genuinely interested in something and they will have about as good of a head start as you can give them without adding in financial security.
