Long time ago, but by far the worst for me was when I inherited some code that a previous programmer had done. Every variable was a breakfast item. So if biscuit>bacon then scrambledeggs=10. Shit like that. It was a nightmare and luckily I only had to deal with it infrequently.

Send noods.

If you are a man over 40 attending a Taylor Swift concert it's highly possible you have a teenage daughter.

FFS it's coca-cola. Do they really even need a new ad at this point? Who is going to see it and go, I should really try this coke thing out.

You are correct. My kids are older now and productive citizens. As a gamer myself, they always had access to the latest gaming consoles and all of my older equipment. I never had a problem with them playing as that would have been very hypocritical of me. I think my feelings about kids and tablets are the ages of these kids I see. Very young to be handed a tablet, but I guess you could argue that they won't be behind when they are forced to use tech like in class. Which is very different than when I grew up. I got an F on a paper once because I did it on a computer. Printed it on a dot matrix and the teacher accused me of cheating because I used a computer. Pissed my Dad off so much he went and bought an Atari 1027 printer which was a letter quality printer so the teacher couldn't tell that it wasn't done on a typewriter. Much different times than now where kids are required to use computers. I will be long gone by then, but it would be wild to get to look at society 50 years from now and see how things have changed.

That's a great idea.

Gotcha. Here's my experience with tech and kids. When my kids were younger I set up one machine in the house that they could use to access the internet, and on that machine I ran a reverse proxy. They each had 10 websites I would verify and whitelist. They all could access whitelisted websites as I didn't filter it down to each kid, they just all got 10 sites I would allow, and if that was a problem we could have easily discussed it and modified the number. It was just an arbitrary starting point. Now my kids were fine with it, wife and step kids weren't fine with my level of restriction but whatever. It caused some arguments but my bio kids knew that's how it was going to be at my house.

I truly feel for parents today as it is much harder to lock things down and keep on top of things like this especially as their kids get older. Maybe I just think that they should use different ways to distract them at such early ages. I definitely don't pretend to have the answers to any of this, and can only go by my prior experience and feelings about the matter.

Even if you’re not a journalist, you must have picked up enough stuff by osmosis to know that this isn’t something you should let your kid do without prior research and a look at the settings available.

The sheer amount of toddlers I see being babysat by a tablet, even while parents are doing something as mundane as shopping, says otherwise.

I totally agree with you.

And it randomly inserts this medical advice into the article: Biologically, HRT in male-to-female transitions like Jenner’s carries documented risks, including elevated incidence of venous thromboembolism, stroke, and cardiovascular events due to estrogen’s prothrombotic effects, particularly in older individuals initiating therapy after age 65.

I am sure it gets this based on every drug having a list of side effects. Surprised it doesn't say, Do not have a Vagina installed if you are allergic to Vagina.

Also gives them the ability to make a new database that they can scour and sell. !/s

I think Robocop(1987) might be a foreshadowing movie here soon.
