i'm wouldn't be looking to curb curiosity tho.. that's not natural at all.. instead i'd be looking to address it head on..
i'm telling my kids, yes this happens, this is a thing.. share my viewpoints on the dangers of abusing it.. and reprimand them for treating it as such.
they're still going to do it.. but at least them knowing that i'm well aware of it as a parent would lessen risk of them turning it into some sort of secret addiction of theirs.
" big + brown + shiny = sexy"
i can empathize
true. but quite frankly, if someone can't at their very core agree to the 'golden rule', what other option is there? a functioning society is better off being divided against people like that.
wildly understated too..
like.. middle school kids today navigated mobile devices with ease when they were toddlers..
they're gonna know what a vpn is before they leave high school.
we're just better off addressing the issue head on than trying to band-aid it.. it won't work
or you know... talk to your kids
yet another glaring example of why i'm not willing to meet these ingrates halfway
heck even inside these borders.. the concept of timezones blows their minds at work lol..
them: "yeah let's set a meeting at 9am!"
me: eastern? pacific? central? help me... heeeelllp meee
after i moved from the southwest to the pacific northwest and got baptized by the snow for nearly half the year.. i very much agree
that turtle cheesecake i had a few days ago was smackin tho
i can't remember the name of the movie, but there were 2 aliens who looked like humans and they were causing some sort of trouble.. they had the ability to shapeshfit into other humans
i remember there's a scene where a protagonist steps into an elevator and there's some young man listening to his walkman. after some time, the young dude starts making these awkward noises because he's jamming out on his headphones to the music.. the protagonist is totally paranoid as he's not sure if young dude's really a human being or an alien, so the elevator finally reaches their floor and they try to escape only to get grabbed by the young man and he reveals himself to be the alien..
so the camera pans to the aliens face looking all menacing and one of the MST3K crew says "you didn't think i could get jiggy with it!?" 🤣
it's been years so if anyone knows the ep i'm talking about, i'd be extremely grateful so i can watch it again.
it aligns with the republican way of governing.. "not my problem. let the next person/generation deal with it"
lol no kids..
that's the thing.. by me saying talk to kids.. im saying address it all.. i'm looking to educate them, not shelter them..
if/when i have one, i'm telling them this world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.. here's how to make the smart and wise decisions..~then i'd hand them their baby bottle~
