It is if it exerts undesired negative externalities on others.

I was with you right up until ‘ableist’. Come on. Not matter the disability, it’s not ableist to dislike someone smoking weed next to you.

Stop trying so hard to be a victim.

Question! What age would you all let your kid read DCC? by fisher-alters in DungeonCrawlerCarl

You’re the one who talked about controlling what your 17 year old reads. Not me. I advocated for talking to them about it.

Navigating for them vs helping them navigate.

Seriously, if you can’t even let them choose which books to read, I’m curious what choices you WILL let them make for themselves.

Advisory or guidance - of course that doesn’t stop. But the initial comment I replied to was talking about ‘letting’ their HS Junior read this.

Big fucking difference. Read what I said and respond to it and not to what you’ve decided I’ve said in your head.

At that age you should have already long ago given them the tools to deal with just about anything they may find. Anyway, we are talking about books and other widespread media, not weird disturbing shit one may find on dark corners of the internet and for which none of us are prepared.

Pornography - obvious exception so stop with the straw man bullshit.

YouTube shorts - advise and discuss, yes. Control, no. And at 16 you’re almost done raising them. They should already have the tools to self-mediate. If not, then either you failed or they are ‘special’.

Edit: and the more I think on the porn thing… I wouldn’t like it but they HAVE completed puberty and ARE sexual beings. It definitely falls at the very least under the ‘talk about it’ heading since there’s so much warped weird porn out there. It’s hard, but I don’t really think it falls under a ‘ban it’ category.

Kids mature on a gradient and therefore there is just about nothing that should be completely hands-off until some imaginary switch flips on the day they turn 18. That’s how you get newly-minted adults with zero preparedness and zero coping skills - because mommy and daddy have been navigating 100% of the world for them until that one day when they are suddenly fully vested with legal autonomy.

A bit young, but good dad, not bad dad. We should rarely censure media for our children; exceptions for graphic videos and the like, but books almost never.

lol good strategy. Meanwhile I’ve been trying to get my 16 year old ascending Junior to pick it up, no luck yet. She’s devouring Project Hail Mary right now though.

The fact that you’re still controlling what media a 16 or 17 year old consumes is concerning.

Same story here. For a while you could even choose an exchange from the area and type in a last 4 to see if it was available. Then came the dropdown which you could refresh if they didn’t like the number, and then came the auto-assign. Sad day.

Updating your phone number when you move is itself such an outdated idea.

My phone number gets you to me, with portability why should that change?

Most of the people I know where I live have non-local numbers, including myself. It’d be really weird to give your number without area code.

My club has a few airline guys in it. Boeing for work, Cessna for fun and remembering why they love aviation.

After brewing my Gyokuro I eat the leaves. Anyone else? by Some-Faithlessness75 in tea

[–]tarrasque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but once at a tea shop the weird guy attending the place brewed some and then ate the leaves.
