    It’s clear that you either do not have children, or that it has never occurred you to take an interest in their interests.

    • You’re right, I don’t have children, but my sister does. I had to watch her sit her baby in front of endless youtube baby video playlists that did nothing but distract the baby for hours and hours while her mother did meth with her baby daddy. She was 2. She didn’t have communicable interests of note. She was just neglected by a shitty mom.

      Take your holier than thou attitude and shove it.

        • Look, clearly you and this other user have some kind of weird idea going on that’s leading you to misread what I’m saying, so let me just say it here clearly:

          If you don’t know about baby shark, that doesn’t make you a bad parent. If you leave your infant/toddler sat in front of youtube for hours every day, you are probably a bad parent.

          There. Now stop putting words in my mouth.

          Both can be true, but not necessarily related.

          Sounds more like to me like they shitty aunt and sister for just watching her sit her kid in front of a TV while she goes off and smokes meth. They just allow that to happen?

              I’ve seen dozens of stories about how the schools the 0.01% send their kids to have zero tolerance for phones.

              They can afford nannies to make sure that the next generation of leaders knows how to think

                There are plenty of scientific studies on how bad they are, but since society and economic pressure demand parents to kill themselves for their jobs, it’s no wonder they have little to no energy to actually parent and resort to the easiest solution.

                Continuous glucose monitors update to smartphone apps. Zero tolerance phone policies are disability discrimination lawsuits waiting to happen and the schools the 0.01% have lawyers good enough to figure that out.

            While I agree that YouTube should be monitored, you’re making the same comment as someone in the 80s talking about cartoons on TV.

              Meaningless argument.

              Some one can say “I don’t like Nazis” and then say “I don’t like tomato soup” a week later. It doesn’t mean you can compare the two.
