This is me, too. I run a dual Sim on my phone for this reason. I’ve always been good at ignoring things after hours unless motivated by self interest.

Yes, I agree, a terrible parenting strategy. Also fuck elf on the shelf, since the whole book is about how the elf is Santa’s spy and you can’t question or touch it. I’m pretty sure this is what gave her the awful idea.
Feel you. I got accused by my brother in law of being some kind of psychopath for not wanting Santa in the house.
In their house, my sister is already using the threat of Christmas big brother against any minor hijinks that their kid gets up to.
I have a three year old, so unfortunately, I have another 4 years of this nonsense ahead of me.
Being able to pay for for therapy, or being financially secure to admit to yourself that you have a problem is a privilage.
Source: would like to do therapy but life/raising 3 kids is in the way.
Perry Bible Fellowship is the best Web comic. Been reading it on/off for what must be 20 years now.
1·1 year agoAnecdotal, but I don’t see the rush to downvote legit opinions because people disagree with them. Lemmy seems a lot more chill at present.
2·1 year agoOh I agree. My original comment was adding to the one preceeding mine, not a direct response to the article. Yes, the US needs GDPR, despite it making aspects of my job annoying I am glad it exists.
From the article: “Firms say this data is anonymized but the truth is that it can easily be de-anonymized. The data brokerage industry is pretty much totally unregulated, allowing for an assortment of unsavory customers to buy Americans’ data willy nilly.”
Isn’t this the real issue and not the headline? US really needs GDPR.

Unfortunately, I am the boot in this case.
74 page document about mobile phone data and transportation modeling.
Origin destination data from cell phones is useful for fairly obvious reasons.
Americans: we will cry foul online until we get an adequate transportation system.
Also Americans: we will cry foul online if you try to collect the data that you need to plan a transportation system.
Just one example of how phone data is useful.
2·1 year agoAre you sure Father? There’s cocaine in it.
Could we add functionality to collapse all child comments? Also a way to set that as the default option?
I really like this update. Thanks for making the transition over to Lemmy such a positive experience.
On connect. Once I changed my settings it’s very comparable to the RIF setup I had.
0·1 year agoFirst Post on here.
RIP RIF.
So incredibly sad, but hoping lemmy can be something special in its own right.
Using Connect for Lemmy and like what I’ve seen so far.
It’s fine, she said in an interview afterwards that her next career move is fulfilling a lifetime ambition of joining the circus. So the spot is still open.
