1994 - 1996 and beyond. Originally played on Win98, currently on Win10. Trying out several different CDROMS, but I’ve been testing out an old “Learning in Toyland” CD, but I also have an old “Yukon Trail” CD I’m trying to boot up.

I’ve tried DOSBOX, but I keep getting messages like “requires Windows” or whatnot. Like HOE, I HAVE WINDOWS AND IT DON’T EVEN WORK

I put that in the post body. The kid got a lecture about handling strange wildlife.

We have one venomous snake in Michigan, I believe.

I thought that might be it!

Think there’s only one venomous snake in Michigan, and it didn’t look like that, so I figured it was safe. But you never know! Gotta be safe, yeah?

Thank you!

I hope this fucking clown-house leads to laws being passed protecting workers from this kind of shit in the future.

For real, this deep-fried dumpster fuck needs to leave the planet.

That’s fucking ghoulish.

I promise I did no such thing!

If you saw a buncha’ big nasty, that might be on you. Double-check your search filters!

I was concerned to look it up, but I’m glad it’s SFW.

If you put people in charge who don’t know / care about particular communities in charge, there could be huge trouble.

You know… like the legal advice subr×ddit being moderated by cops. Which it is.

Oh nooooo, how terrible!

What absolutely sucks about this is that I had carefully curated my subscriptions on RIF in order not to exacerbate my dumb mental health issues.

Hell, I’ve read angry posts about people in recovery from addiction and alcohol saying how they keep seeing ads for beer or gambling and things like that.

It’s horrifying!!

Raised in this kind of environment, I am so happy to see families break away from this kind of generational abuse.

Kids need to be around other people who have different cultures, viewpoints, and experiences in order to become a person with a well-rounded mindset and social skills.

Homeschooling has been a shield for abuse and control for so many years. I believe there are legit reasons for it, but religion uses it it such an awful way.
