@nick @derickr (And also that of @researchfairy, it seems)
@nick @researchfairy @derickr You have completely and utterly missed my point.

@mynameistillian I think you're spending a lot of spoons (involuntarily) on your shitty living situation right now, and I suspect that that's what's getting in the way of holding a job, more than college
"Why do you think I want kids to have no social contact???"
I said no such thing. I am asking specifically *where and how* you expect kids to socialize. That question remains unanswered here. Okay, "safe places" - *what* safe places? The whole point established in the original post was that there *are* no such places anymore.
@JimmyB @pezmico You "might" get stabbed anywhere at any time. And yet people go outside, they go to places where this is an elevated risk, even. Because yes, social contact is actually necessary, and that has a certain amount of risk.
If there are no social spaces for kids, and you take away their remaining venue for social contact (or never allow them to have it, doesn't matter), then where and how exactly do you expect kids to socialize?
@nick @researchfairy @derickr Ah yes, Safari, the browser which notoriously only runs on very expensive hardware that is completely inaccessible to a huge amount of people.
Definitely "the most viable option". Mhmm.

I don't necessarily disagree that phones might be harmful for kids' development.
I just don't know if they're nearly as harmful as say, repeated covid infections, a collapsing biosphere, a justifiably bleak vision of their future, or even a prevalent lack of agency, independence, and spaces for socialisation.
I'd focus on those first. Then phones.
A while ago, Aldi in NL recalled some cutlery set due to "having sharp edges which can result in injury".
Like, I understand what they were going for there, but I think they could've phrased the problem a little more clearly

@3TomatoesShort My reason for concluding 'EDS' was basically watching https://youtu.be/3tr1RvErGn8, playing along at home, and getting several full bingo cards in the process (though the suspicions had been there for longer)

Yeah so I'm fairly sure by this point that I have *some* form of EDS. But I'm not sure what exactly, and it doesn't help that I don't have the infamous bendy limbs

Guy at the store kept making comments about Monday and although I had been under the assumption that it was Sunday when I headed out this morning, it's hard to keep track this time of year.
So I continued on with my Monday until I reached another stop on my errands, that is closed on Sunday.
🤔
All I know is that it's January.

it's sort of remarkable that despite the entire internet being designed to sell you products these days, the actual process of buying anything on the internet is absolutely awful. like if someone told me 15 years ago that the whole point of the internet would be to sell people things i'd assume that finding what you're looking for would be incredibly easy and every website would look like mcmaster-carr. but instead every website looks like a online casino held together by duct tape and every company is constantly lying to you about everything
