We’ve had discussions about this, with and without our kids. Yeah, they need to be in the loop with their friends, and being in that loop can mean being exposed to some bullshit.

That’s always been the case, though. The additional risk of modern social media, I think, is that it’s always with you. One of the rules we laid down was to plug your phone in outside your room before you go to bed. That was relatively strongly enforced when they were younger, just getting started in that arena. They’re all essentially adults now, so we don’t enforce it anymore, but they sometimes still do it anyway.

It’s important to be connected, and it’s okay to be disconnected when you want to be.

Top tip!

It’s like the crawler that takes launch vehicles to the launching pad at Cape Canaveral.

I have an HO gauge rail that takes me from my couch to the refrigerator.

“Surely my case is different!”

Trains never crash.

That’s called lying.

“Not my undocumented immigrants, though.”

Damn kids, get out of my yard

It was before chat services arrived.

You know what’s exactly as decentralized as fediverse? Email. Do you know anyone who doesn’t use email?

“Mistake”

“They do their job and I support whatever they are doing,” Monteiro said. “I voted for Trump and there are a lot of bad people in this country that don’t deserve to be here.”

“I voted for face-eating leopards, and I’m happy that they have eaten my face.”

There it is. Exactly.

All right that’s also what I read, and I still think the headline overstates things. That’s not a “stunning admission” so much as it is an attempt to steer the narrative and provide cover for Little t (who, mark my words, will sign whatever Republicans put in front of him).

They haven’t stated their operating costs, so you’re only speculating.

You have quoted Cohn, a reporter, not Senator Josh Hawley, who is referred to in the headline.

Revenue is not profit.

Ehhh NewRepublic really overstates this in that headline.

You don’t have to worry about protecting electrical grids if you don’t have any. :taps_forehead:
