    I think the 2021 parents would be proud if their child got a participation trophy.

    Stephen and Cameron look like they’re each in the wrong panel.

    2021 parents: Isn’t it nice to know that you will have your pride and joy under the same roof with you until you die?

    Every older generation mocks the current youth. I watched a documentary about the flappers of the 1920s. You know, our grandparents/great-grandparents/great-great-grandparents. What THEIR elders had to say about them was, shall we say, adamant.

    But then, I’m pretty sure the same can be said about all of the commenters here.

    The video game guy probably has a Youtube channel and endorsements and makes millions. The SAT guy is his CPA.

    And he won’t take his SAT because we think it’s Racist and Economically biased.

    So Stephen went to college, learned to code and mine the money from the pockets of gamers like Cameron who used their skills to become professional gamers who critique and support the games that Stephen creates. Sort of a technological snake eating it’s own tail. Bits and Bytes indeed.

    What you aren’t being told in the second panel is that Cameron is 22, has no job, and lives in their basement.

    In 1981 the maximum score was 994, with 492 for math and 502 for critical reading, they didn’t add writing until 2006 bring the maximum score to 1,518. In 2017 critical reading was combined with writing changing the maximum score to 1,060.

    When I went to take the SAT’s, I told them: “I’ve come to take my Sᴇᴄʀᴇᴛ Aɢᴇɴᴛ Tᴇsᴛs, …where do I sit?!”

    They treated me like I was dumber than a box o’rocks! I figured that was just cover. So they swore me in anyway, and made me pinky swear not to tell anyone!

    AH CRAP! I just did, didn’t I… I gotta quit doin’ that!

    If you care about your child’s virtual victories, you are virtually parents.
