  • I haven’t had a problem.

    iPhone with Screen time and communication limits means I can control how much time they spend in the device and in which apps and I control who they can contact.

    Don’t approve any apps that allow social features.

    Talk to them about the realities of the internet and the wider world.

    All of this has to happen at some point. If you just hand off a phone to an 11 year old or even a 14 year old workout doing any of the above, you’re still going to have issues.

    Much of what is being said about tech is the same as was said about tv and video games. The only studies you’re going to hear about this are the ones that confirm the societal biases.

    If you don’t seek counter opinions of this topic you’re playing into the same fear mongering every generation of parents has had about the new thing.

    Dancing, rock and roll, tv, video games, and now phones. Every time, everyone thinks this time is different and every time it hasn’t been.



  • Based on the dark humor groups on Facebook, I am quite confident this is what racists actually believe. Transphobes too.

    The poorly educated think dark humor is a joke an acceptable way to joke about ideas they hate.

    When a study linking dark humor to intelligence was released, the knuckle draggers clucked and strutted about, thinking their hatred indicated intelligence.

    Thats not what quantum mechanics shows at all.

    What is being described is the pop-sci version quantum mechanics.

    That version has people believing in multiverses and wormholes and other nonsense that is not falsifiable like magic and has no evidence like magic but people believe in it because people desperately want magic to be real.
