My son has had access to an iPhone 6s and iPad 2 since he was 1 or so (7 now). His devices have always been moderated to prevent him from seeing inappropriate content whether by accident or on purpose, and as he gets older I ease up on the restrictions. We have had little to no issue with him being attached to the devices, and my opinion is because he had mostly free reign over his usage barring bedtime. Even to this day he prefers to be outside playing.

I’m sure we’re all familiar with getting something we all wanted later in life than most people. We get super attached. I did get my son an Xbox one rather late (he had wanted one for at least a year before he got one), and he is attached to that. Because he spent a good amount of time dreaming and fantasizing about it.

My son is also high functioning autistic, (as am I), if that means anything. But this is my parenting style. Allow freedom within reasonable limits to promote individuality, unlike my parents. He sometimes watches the dumbest stuff on YouTube, but we all did and do. It’s not up to me to mold his sense of humor, I just make sure it’s appropriate for his age. Regardless if I think it’s dumb or not. I’m not 7 anymore.

I was expecting her to snap back into her body and wake up with disappointment after astral projecting

Mint was my first used, was straightforward and easy to get going. Still use mint.

I’ve always read it doesn’t really matter what distro you choose, just to pick one you like. That’s confusing to a noob because they don’t know why they should or shouldn’t like a specific one.

Mint is very simple to setup and works very much like a windows PC by default. Can even set it up to work like a Mac if you want to.

Yeah and YouTube joined in a while back with image and text posts

Funny the sponsor of this bill is the president and owner of a lawn and landscaping company. I imagine he’s probably mad he has to pay his workers fair wages and just wants more money in his pockets.

If a company hires you and you live 90 minutes from a job, that company damn well should pay for your trips. You can agree not to, and that’s fine, but workers should expect to be paid for long commutes which are work related.

I spent 3 hours on the road 5+ days a week for 8 years and never got a cent for it, and when my vehicles crapped out the companies didn’t give a crap.

You’re exactly right. I didn’t read the article yet, but you can build a to do list app in a handful of minutes if you know your way around. I’m still green as a coder, but have been through dozens of tutorials, one of which was a simple to do list in JavaScript. I managed to complete it in about an hour. Seeing that someone thinks it takes weeks to do, that makes me wonder about them.

Thanks for all the info, suggestions and tips. I’ll try to look further into this if my nervousness can f off a while

I live in a rural area and don’t have any nearby neighbors to ask. My wife has said that a lot of people have been complaining about it on Facebook though (locally)

He said “Yeah we can all see thru them like my cousins underpants”

Yeah, so many companies require mac’s for their coding needs. Any classes I’ve ever taken have used macbooks

I wonder how much more strength this would have if the back side was wrapped in carbon fiber with just the one layer of wood. The hardness wasn’t the issue necessarily, as we saw. The bullet didn’t punch a whole clean through, it “pushed” the wood out of the way. Carbon fiber seems like it would help reduce the thickness and weight while keeping the wood intact

I’ve had YouTube premium from the inception of their subscription model prior to/at the beginning of YouTube red, as I initially had a paid Google music subscription.

Personally, there isn’t a better option for the amount of hassle involved in my opinion. It’s a family account, and managing so many people’s YouTube experiences on at least a dozen different devices would be a nightmare I don’t want to think about. (Multiple of each TV’s, Roku’s, Android phones, iPhones, pc’s, etc)

This isn’t really relevant to your friend, it is quite silly when it’s just one person not willing to do it for just themselves.

America, fk yeah, coming again to save the mother fkn day, yeah

I’d participate in that study if it existed

X is really dumb, and I’m not a fan of Twitter personally… But twitters reputation shouldn’t be completely obliterated because of who now owns it. Not that it matters, I guess, because there’s no way people don’t know X was once Twitter.

So I don’t know, guess I don’t care either way. But X is dumb.

I have had COVID at least 3 times (I’m an advocate masks, but I live where masks are not a pop6choice,) and I swear my brain function has plummeted since my first infection. I feel so dumb at times because my memory has went to shit, I can’t think of simple words, comprehend simple questions or solve simple problems. It’s like having writers block but it affects all my thinking abilities.

My dad is anti-mask and his mental function has suffered greatly. During his first infection, he would ask the same question multiple times in a single conversation, and although he’s better now, he’s not the same as he was.

My symptoms during consequent infections after the first were not bad, in fact I wouldn’t have guessed I was sick at all the 2nd or 3rd time, so I have no idea if I’ve had it more…

Take car. Go to mum’s. Kill Phil, grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

From my understanding, there’s no reason whatsoever to do this besides censorship, for better and for worse. There’s a possibility good, and I’m sure the good would happen, but there’s an even greater possibility it would be bad for users which would surely happen.

From personal experience, aggression is not always a controlled action. I’m a lot better than I used to be, but I have injured myself over things that tipped me over mentally. These reactions were not at all calculated.

Again from experience, I personally agree that programs do little to reduce violent tendencies. For me, it was medication.

I have ASD, and a whole bunch of other things under the personality disorder umbrella. The key is I am aware of my shortfalls and found the solution which works for me.

I have never faked my anger and often hide it. In the past, I would explode. Never on anyone, just myself. Or walls now, I still hide it, but because of my medication I do get to control how I react, which is usually to just go somewhere else, and if I can’t do that, I go away into my thoughts
