China Drafts New Rules to Curb Internet Addiction Among Children and Teens in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I wonder if there will be an exception made for texting or calling, since the article mentions Internet addiction specifically and parents probably want their children to be able to contact them 24/7

Risks of Joining Communist Party in the USA (lemmygrad.ml)
 

Hi all, I've been considering joining the PCUSA or PLS, but am afraid of being discriminated against when finding a job or internship. I'm wondering if anyone here can provide their personal experience with being in a communist or socialist party in the USA, and whether or not I should wait until after finding a job to join one?
