@matana yeah my kids are most likely going to be fucked in the head hahaha. My mom and dad both are, all my siblings are, and I definitely am xD I had complete and unfettered access to the internet and it uhhhhh.... it didn't necessarily help me, let's just say that. That's why I'm of the mind that it's going to be important to reallllllly pay attention to my kids' activities and hone in on promoting the good stuff!
@matana just because it's a "major part of socializing" doesn't mean it is good or healthy. I'd much rather have my kids hanging out with friends IRL or working on hobbies than going stale being on social media and painting a digital footprint that may never be erased. All that's needed is friends' phone numbers for texting/calling.
It's not like suicide among youth has been increasing since the inception of this stuff, or anything.
What would you do? I'm not saying I'll go scorched earth, Amish household or anything, but I think in order for someone to develop healthily they shouldn't live on social media. There needs to be a good, healthy balance.
@matana obviously you have to do things in moderation and not hover over them and take away all of their privacy because they still deserve some too. But education first and foremost is good. For my kids it'll probably be something like using KeePass so I have access to their passwords, requiring a password to get on the computer that's in the living room, and not giving them a smartphone at age 12 that they can do whatever the fuck on. Will they get around blocks and use stuff at their friends houses? Yeah, probably, but that's what proper education is for, including internet privacy and security :)
@MK2boogaloo she was a sweetheart
Not the black sarah or the FAS Sarah, btw. The OG.
@MeBigbrain @Terry I'll be shooting something that's for sure
@BlinkRape well, it's really good to put into perspective.
@LukeAlmighty learn the parts of the guitar first. Then learn how to tune it. Then learn what each string at standard tuning is (EADGBE), and how they change by going up the neck. Your first lesson shouldn't be learning or playing a song, it should be getting familiar with the guitar itself.
@LukeAlmighty if you remove the mariana trench and Mt everest from earth, it is actually flatter than a pancake (relatively).
