I fully believe in 15 years we'll find out that giving a developing mind a phone was one of the worst things we ever could have done and we basically handed them a crack pipe for how their brain handles it.
It's been my opinion all along kids shouldn't have smartphones. Absolutely nothing good can come from them having them. [Reply]

I can't recall if there was any "gotcha" moment or turning point in my life, other than knowing in the back of my mind I didn't want to live with my parents forever (I had to pay rent after I dropped out of school).
Sorry - i've got nothing. Good luck.
I was a similar shithead. My come to Jesus moment was when I finally drove my mother to the point that she punched me in the face. Looking back, she should have done it much sooner because I sure the fuck had it coming. [Reply]

Kids are the worst.
I’ve got time now to give myself a vasectomy with the virus shit, so that’s a positive. [Reply]
My wife got furloughed today. She administers radiation to cancer patients. They aren’t getting new clients since everything is shut down. Kind of hard to realize you have cancer if you can’t get looked at by your doctor.
They were pretty busy before all this started. [Reply]
