Years and years ago I had a roommate who got paid to wear a tight dress and smoke cigarettes on camera, sometimes with a fancy cigarette holder. Never had to take off her clothes, and they often gave her free cartons of cigarettes in the bargain. I don't smoke any more but if there's anyone with a fetish for watching a fat guy eat nachos, start the bidding.

It is so freaky seeing Blippi without his hat, his head looks so weird without it. It's like seeing a mall Santa after they took their skin off after work or something.

Also probably a nightmare for health insurance reasons. The other thing I experienced is my aunt works at the university my sister ended up going to so her kids could have gone there for free but my sister didn't get poo poo. The joke around the house was to beg my aunt to adopt my sister for a few years.

Oh, no. My wife went to school for 4 years as a single mom and then it was my turn as a single dad. We are both finished (i dropped out), and are now married.

Cool my power is off with absolutely no warning bc the privately owned energy company that runs the monopoly decided I was late and I don't get paid for another week and a half so guess I gotta go get a pay day loan lol oh also SDGE is charging an extra $40 for the pleasure just because gently caress me I'm poor. I'd pay it except my landlord took the rest of my money this morning except for $60. Also our bills went up 2x because they decided they didn't want to pay for maintenance on San Onofre power plant for years until it became a problem at which point they decommissioned it raising the cost of electricity (bc lol if you think their profits are taking a hit) and also saddled the cUsToMeRs with the cost to decommission too because again lol gently caress you that's why Cool love this piece of poo poo country Muh FrEe MaRkEt over a loving natural monopoly

anonumos posted:So I've been working to moderate my 4 year old's use of YouTube. First of all, YouTube Kids is not available on the Amazon store (he has a Fire 8 "Kids Edition" using a parental control launcher called Freetime). You'd think the Fire "Kids Edition" would include Google's own walled garden app for YouTube, but... I, too, moderate my child's use of youtube. It's called blocking youtube. I bought her a $70 chromebook off ebay. First thing I did was install some netnanny poo poo that blocks porn and stuff. Then I added facebook, youtube, instagram, whatever other social media bullshit I could think of to the blacklist. The chromebook is for the stuff available through her school's webportal, wikipedia, whatever is NOT social media. If she's watching youtube, it's because we pulled up something specific on our computers or the tv. Don't let your kid just watch youtube. You know in the 80s, when child-targeted programming like He-Man was fairly new, parents put up a lot of resistance, worried about what values their children were learning and poo poo. That's why all those shows have lessons at the end, like, "In this episode, we found out the lady with the incredible quads was adopted. Being adopted is ok!" or "If you have a nosebleed, pinch and tilt your head FORWARD, not backward!" This is also why the opening miniseries for most of these cartoons had significantly higher production values than the rest of the season; parents were expected to sit down with their children and watch it with them to make sure it was OK to watch before letting them watch the cartoon by themselves. Fast forward to today: parents implicitly trust ALGORITHM. That peak loving capitalism right there. Don't let you kid watch youtube.

And it seems to be directly linked to online poo poo.

At least outside of C-SPAM. But it doesn't. If Facebook does cause not just kids but everyone to feel more depressed, more anxious, more unhappy, it would also be a bad thing. It does, and it is. This is without even going into the also real evils of surveillance capitalism.

Install parental blocking stuff on all your kids' devices and if they can figure out enough computer skills to hack their way past it they get to watch whatever they want. At least then when they're inevitably a racist nazi porn-addicted 14 year old they learned something along the way

See again though, citation needed. I could easily say that what actually causes growing depression and anxiety is the growing phenomenon that children get less actual time from parents who need to work more and more to keep the household together. The primary cause of divorce is financial issues and divorce rates have been steadily climbing until Millennials got to their 20s/30s and they're just not getting married that much instead. Where is the actual evidence that a few hours a week on Facebook is worse for you mentally than a few hours of satan music? Maybe all the teens are depressed because the world is clearly hurtling towards ecological disaster and no adults in charge seem to be doing gently caress all about it. Maybe they're all having mental health issues because of the enormous stresses and pressures placed on them right from getting into 'a good preschool' to applying for colleges and beyond.
