I will argue smartphones or any electronic is not the problem. The problem is lazy parents.
My kids all have had phones since before 10 and they're all well adjusted but to be clear I monitor their usage and I check in with my kids regularly.
I cannot hold back society or technology at the fear of my kids being left behind. What I can do is help them navigate both as they grow.
I love how quick we are to lay the blame anywhere but parents.
I so want a Hercules/Xena type show except it's Conan. The world needs more Conan in all its glory steeped in fantasy and Lovecraftian lore.
Takes one apartheid asshole to recognize another eh? Lol
Lovecraft country was so good. Shame about majors.
I will argue though what I love about Lovecraft country is probably not what most people did.
There's quite a few less obvious examples in how he explains black people like animals. He also does the same with Asians. Dude was a man of the times lol
I know lovecraft was racist in his personal writings, but I can't recall any specific exams of it inside his fiction.
The glaring example."The Rats in The Walls" had a cat called "removed Man".
And of course admins censor the N word. Jesus Christ this world we live in is fucking scuffed.
If you're serious about monitoring your shit this is really the best answer. Zabbix is love. Zabbix is life.
Missouri 🤣
This is an extremely reactionary take. I hear what you are saying but I draw the line as delusional and irresponsible unless you apply that to pretty much all parents that don't completely smother their children.
We make mistakes as we grow. We lie. We get hurt. Technology is always Pandora's box. I'd argue we have better knowledge of our kids now than we ever used to and stats show the world is safer now than it has ever been.
If you live in fear you will form your decisions from a place of fear.
