Maybe this is a contributing factor to why soo many young people have trouble with the idea of consent. They grew up with crap like this constantly ignoring thier right to say no.

Remember, some of the jury will probably be at least loosely against lesbians or trans people. If all you have is she said, he said, those people won't convict for a hate crime. But if you stick to just the beating, which doesn't need to prive a motive, they would vote to convict. It sucks, but that is what a jury of your peers means.

If it were just websites, the router can do a lot. Though with cell data, they aren't on our router. And there is also the school wifi. And don't forget the school chromebook... and heck, they can facetime a friend who can essentially stream them stuff. I disagree that it isn't insurmountable for non-technical parents. There is just too much that they would need to know.

Oh, and for the android tablet, he can use routines. One called focus can be configured to close the parental controll program anytime it tries to launch. I was actually kinda proud about how he found that workaround. He didn't even learn it from the web, just figured it out on his own. But anyway, they only fix is to block access to settings. But then he can't manage Bluetooth devices like headphones, or join wireless networks like at the doctors office. And the app people say there is nothing they can do because android doesn't give them the ability to control things as fine grained as that.

In the case of the phone, it is something he will take to school with him next year. Many for the location tracking. We didn't have the option to bus for elementary school. So this will be his first time bussing. I can totally see him just going to a friends house from the bus stop. With the phone he could text us, and we would also be able to see where he is if he forgets.

But anyway, it is supposed to be totally locked down so it is boring and not a temptation at school. But if he can play music, he probably will do so in class and cause problems. His other devices that stay at home are not as locked down.

I currently pay for qustodio. He can pown that thing in so many ways it isn't funny. I have had multiple conversation with thier support, and usually the answer is that they can't do anything about that because android doesn't allow them to. For the pc it is windows of course, and they allow even less. Given the age of your kid now, there may not have been as many youtube videos back then explaining how to get around these parental controls. But there are now.
I have a technical background, so I can understand the things he is doing. Like I know what a vpn is, and how it can be used. So I can tell him that if he installs one there will be punishments. But most parents wouldn't even know what it is, and if they got an alert about it, would probably believe whatever story thier kid told them about it.
And don't get me started on the horrible parental controls on the switch. And roku effectively has none (they only work on the roku channel).
If a kid has any ambition, they can get around the vast majority of controls. And if the parent is not technical, they have no chance of really stopping a kid who wants to access something.

The products suck. Google and apple don't really have a monetary motivation to make them good. My kid easily gets around everything. And he is only 11. The best so far was a bark phone. They had to customize the operating system because google didn't provide ways to lock things down. He still found a work around to play music on the talk and text only phone. Only had it a week. There just isn't profit in it. So teach your kids about the realities of the web or they will find out themselves.

Marriage contracts just mean more extended family to help. :)

You are welcome to your opinion, no matter how little logic you used to form it. Now get out there, get more radicalized and make luigi pround.

I think it would have to be more direct. But since it applies to federal courts, there are probably a lot of orders being ignored right now. So they should have thier pick.

Several people the courts ordered released, were released. So it isn't true that he isn't following any of the scotus orders. People are saying that this law change will allow him to ignore all orders without threat of being held in contempt. I'm not sure that interpretation is correct. And even so, I imagine that scotus can just declare it unconstitutional. That will put the question in the hands of the people scotus asks to enforce their contempt rulling. I imagine if those people refuse, the court can ask for volunteers to be deputized. So all in all it isn't clear where this is going.

Odd though that out of 5 people he got two staffers. Seems he was trying to specifically get isreali employees.
I do feel for the innocents who get targetted... on both sides.

If success is determined by a metric, the metric will go up. Any relation to actual increase in value is coincidental. Lol. Long ago someone tried to incentivize programers by giving abonus per bug fixed. Didn't last long before they blew through the bonus budget and realized the programers were putting in bugs so they could fix them. (Urban legend really... probably)

Not really poly, just more fluid about changing relationships. Basically, more short term, not life long, commitments. When it isn't enough for a person, move on. And that shouldn't be considered a failing of the other. People change, interests change, newness wears off. That's natural. Society considering unmarried men as unstable, and unmarried women as somehow broken is just not right.
If there are kids involved it gets more complicated of course. Then it gets into some kind of marriage contract or something. But raising kids these days is broken too. You almost need a professional involved full time just to keep up with all the things kids really need. Most of us parents just can't do it all, both from a time/energy perspective and a skill perspective.

It was like 75% joke. The other 25% was saying the parent is responsible, not the websites.

Laptops are like guns. If you leave them unsecured, you are responsible if your kid gets a hold of them. Who even has a laptop without a password these days.

All said and done, the concept that people should be monogamous isn't natural. Look at the animal kingdom. It's pretty rare.
Some people just don't fit that mold. But society tends to look down on them. So for some, bucking the system is probably a source of joy and achievement that they want to share. For the listeners, humans often go along with things to avoid awkward interactions. Then go home later and say to someone, "I can't believe she just said that."

Seriously, I think that fits. Many people (not all) cheat because they are unfulfilled in life. And the same cohort also might go to class reunions for the same reason... to try to find fulfillment.
