  • I don’t see why this doesn’t work anymore. Do parents have no control over their kids anymore?

    I think you just answered your own question.

    Clearly we’ve reached the stage of physically taking and locking their phones up during school hours because verbal threats weren’t working. If parents had control of what their kids were doing when not in close proximity to them, this wouldn’t be happening.

    Lot of dumb adults out there these days. I think a lot of parents would be on the “but I need to contact them in case of emergencies” and “you’re threatening my child’s rights” boat if they just floated the idea of suspension for phone use. So now we’re at the physically confiscate them upon entering like contraband stage.



  • I mean I’ve seen a lot more money wasted on much dumber shit.

    Kids aren’t going to learn if they’ve got handheld social media internet gaming consoles with them in school. I wouldn’t have. They’re not going to willingly put them away for hours every day. I wouldn’t have. So…lock the fuckers up. These kids need to be educated so I’m not being taken care of by drooling Idiocracy background actors when I’m in end-of-life care. There’s way too much stupid going around already.

    To be clear, 180k is too much. I’m just saying I agree with locking the goddamn things up.











  • Yup.

    I only use old Reddit at work on a computer now. I create a new account every day as it takes that long for them to shadowban me. I get a handful of comments in, get a number of upvotes/downvotes and influence opinions, then I create a new account when I get into work the next day.

    Don’t have time for a shitty platform on weekends as I have better things to do and I don’t care to use it on mobile, even though RedReader still works and looks like old Reddit.
