The phone only really needs 12 hrs of battery life

Idrc about ai or whatever you want to call it. Make it all open source. Make everything an ai produces public domain. Instantly kill every billionaire who's said the phrase "ai" and redistribute their wealth.

I was responding specifically to a case where one might be worried about what their child might see online. I think it's totally valid to stop your kid from looking at things that are going to be upsetting to them.

Personally I'd let my kid loose on the internet. When I picked up some questionable information on the internet and shared it with my parents you know what happened. They confronted those views of mine in conversation. They didn't spy on me to attempt to find out where that came from. And what would even be the point in doing so? They already talked it out with me. It's not necessary to spy on your kids, those are the actions of someone who is afraid of their children being different to themselves.

Giving kids the illusion of privacy so you can monitor them and punish them for doing things you disagree with is way worse than just not letting them do that thing. Or better yet, why not step the fuck up, do some parenting and explain to your kids why some things are bad.

Signing up for wizard101 at 10 years old is where my life started going wrong. If only my parents were more vigilant and vetted every link in my search history for hidden satanism

You can restrict access to whatever you want to. If you really wanted to you could curate a whitelist of places they could go to but honestly I'm not sure how I feel about that either

You don't need to strip them of privacy to do that. If they're too young to understand what they're looking at just slap on some parental controls to whatever device they're using. It's not hard to explain to your children why being alt right is bad. It is hard to convince them you value their privacy after you've been spying on them.

Can't go to the hairdressers because I'll develop a crush. Have to ask my friends not to hug me. Physical touch love language is hardcore. Off topic but needed to vent lol

Why do parents go through their children's search history

Vampire fucking is beastiality. We must purge the monster fuckers.

Unless of course I find them hot then it's okay

Idk I guess it's just confusing for me. I don't care particularly more about the people who died in 9/11 than I do about the people who died elsewhere. For me it is no less tragic than any other incident. And for me so much is happening that I'm numb to it.

Do you think seeing it live on tv is what made the difference? Could you see people having a similar reaction to modern incidents if they were televised as much.

In 1993 a truck bomb exploded in the basement of the world trade centre killing 6 and injuring over 1000. Completely out of the blue? A first in history? Google pre 9/11 terrorist attacks, have a read through.

I said in another comment that the I think the reason for such discrepancy between the reactions I see in my life and the reactions to 9/11 from people who lived through it was they saw it happen on tv. And I guess in a weird way that does make sense to me. Of course people don't have such a visceral reaction to things they haven't seen.

No not really. I remember people dying while others lamented the loss of economic value. I didn't feel paranoid or scared I felt disappointed.

The vibe of the thing is exactly what I'm referring to. The vibes being somber seems a reality so far removed from what I've experienced and I want to understand why. From what I can gather from comments the reason seems to be that it was shown on tv. That tracks with modern disasters not gaining such notoriety because mainstream media won't show you the scattered remains of children who died in buildings brought down by American armaments.

Man this is the kinda contemporary responses that need to be preserved. I feel much more of a human connection to an emotional reaction like that than I have for any other. Thank you

I find it very strange seeing people express such somber emotions about 9/11. Admittedly it was before I was born, but it seems so different to my experience. The reverence displayed for human life during 9/11 seems so disjointed from the apathy to the multitudes more who died in gaza. Who died in Ukraine. Who died in hospitals during COVID. I cannot imagine myself being so shaken by death. When I see tragedy it affects me very little. Not to say I think death is okay, I just can't imagine living in a time where I would have grievances to spare on another thousand dead.

What I'm trying to say is that I probably would set a personal best during a modern tragedy and be either oblivious or indifferent. Relatable meme lol

If a glass is half full on a table but there are no optimists to see it, is it half empty?

Me mate Jim does it. He's got a good eye
