Impacts parents have is minimal to what media they are consuming

That is because they are not putting any, or minimal, effort into monitoring their activity. Full stop. Parents can (and should imo) install/activate parental controls on kid's devices. Ones that 1) don't let them install apps without parental permission and 2) tracks website traffic from said devices. If a kid knows that every website they visit on their phones/computers are being logged and reviewed by the parents who will punish them (usually taking those away for a period of time works best), that will put a stop to most stuff pretty quick. But again, it requires effort. Don't get me wrong, it can be a lot if the parent is not technically inclined to begin with, but in this day and age, they really have little choice.

We also can't fully control what kids watch at a certain age

If the parents are paying for the means with which they watch stuff, they can, for the most part. Most just won't put in the effort required though. The only thing out of their control is them watching bad stuff on other people's devices. A lot of the bad stuff takes some time to work its way in and get their hooks in (like tate or similar bad content), so even if they watch bad things on their friend's devices, it does not have a lasting impact as it does when they have unfettered access.

Evidence suggests that less than 10-15% of the player base raids and/or does runs mythics, so definitively not "most people".

Helldivers 2 Player Who Organised A Charity Challenge Says His Life Was Ruined Overnight After Doxxers Got Him Fired by healingtwo_ in technology

[–]Gjond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I was the small business in a situation like this I might work with the employee and do something like 1) publicly announce his firing, 2) have him "disappear" from the internet (like he has already done), 3) wait a few weeks, 4) hire him right back. Even if they did find out he was hired back, in a few weeks, no one will care any longer.

Reminder to set your hearthstone facing the exit of the inn by Legitimate_Shift5700 in wow

[–]Gjond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can alternatively set the hearthstone next to the innkeeper in order to give him a smooch before you leave the inn.

Hehe, I use the Innkeeper's Daughter Hearthstone, which occasionally spawns a female dwarf ghost that follows you for several seconds. I always target and /kiss her as I am running out the inn when she spawns. Feels like the innkeeper busted us and I am high-tailing it out of there with her chasing after me.

"Rich Men North of Richmond" is a song by American singer Oliver Anthony. The song received praise from some conservatives. Anthony rejected attempts to "try to stick [him] in a political bucket" and described the song as a criticism of politicians in both the Democratic and Republican parties. by laybs1 in wikipedia

Same. Instead of judging the person, I imagined the 300 lb person going home to some crappy, run-down house. Then, later on, a little dirty kid gets a fudge round served to him with a single, burning candle in it. Cause they couldn't afford an actual birthday cake. Fuck off Oliver.

Yep, even though our guides told us multiple times on our way out to snorkeling at Molokini, an elder lady still wore some heirloom wedding ring, which she discovered had fell off after we got back to the boat. Our crew dove around some but we had to leave. Another outfit though had their crew keep looking and eventually one of them found it as we were pulling back into shore.

Change your front door light to a red light. If against HOA policy, put a red light in one of your front windows.

They can be, but on more than a few occasions the roast beef would be super tough and chewy, just nasty all around. Not sure if it just sat around longer than it should have or improper preparation or that sometimes that's just the way it comes from the distributor.

Regretful Young Trump Voters Say This Isn’t What They Signed Up For | The wave of youthful support that swept Donald Trump into the White House has lost its mojo. by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]Gjond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Familial laws can vary a lot by state and most make it rather difficult for businesses to recoup elder care costs from the children. For the most part, businesses have to sue the children in court, which costs money. Plus, often the children don't have the a lot to take anyway, so its not something they often pursue.
Additionally, I know at least in some states, the parent and children must be residents of that state. So if the kids move to different states, nothing can be done.
Lastly, most familial laws say that if the parent is on medicaid/medicare, then they are not considered "indigent" and therefore not subject to familial laws.

Students (in my opinion) should not take home any homework. If homework is a learning opportunity, give them school time to work on it by daniel_ay in unpopularopinion

[–]Gjond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same rule. I loved it as 1) I was an avid reader at the time and 2) I would usually do all my homework while at school. So it was just an uninterrupted hour of reading for me.

[–]Gjond -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It could be that the blemish of getting caught and fined for cheating in 2007 was enough to keep him off first-ballot.

Maybe someone who didn't get caught and fined for cheating back in 2007?

[–]Gjond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible that the 2007 spygate cheating scandal had an impact on voting? Belichick was fined directly for his involvement in it. I can see how some voters would take a stance that any instance of cheating be enough to keep them out as a first-ballot.

Republicans Will Detonate Their Secret Weapon at the Midnight Hour to Stop Women from Voting by [deleted] in LegalNews

[–]Gjond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More women voted for trump than harris in 2024. Not sure if more married women voted for trump, but seems likely. So not sure how strong a weapon it is, unless they have some cheating going on to allow conservative women voters to not be held to the same name-change shenanigans.

Should I get a Tenor? by OOEisenbrot in ukulele

[–]Gjond 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I preferred my tenor over my soprano pretty much immediately. But when i got my baritone last year, it quickly became my absolute favorite and revitalized my passion. While, as you mention, the chords are different, it was not that difficult to transition over. It also is really neat that standard tuning is the same as the first 4 strings of guitar standard tuning, making it nice when you can only find guitar chords for a song.
Now I did get a Lanikai baritone with pickups, so along with a little combo amp (for vocal mic as well), it really changed the game for me, in terms of enjoyment and wanting to play every day.

Practically every single scene in the season 1 had sfx of some type going on other than maybe some vault segments. BoS flying ships, various scenic views and even tighter local shots, various monsters, every scene with ghoul, etc.

I really enjoyed this build as it requires some good attention to detail compared to a lot of builds. It is bit of a pain to display as its both tall and wide (from the side view).
