Yeah, I would love to be able to setup something in Apple Music that would load in the NPR news breaks that happen regularly throughout the day into my music playlists.

I didn’t do it for noise initially, but I’ve become quite dependent on the fan noise from my air purifier these days.

Kids can’t actually get access to the internet on their own. You have to purchase an internet connection of some sort via a provider and kids can’t do that. Public access, like libraries, would have to use ID/age verification in person, sure. But not the general internet. That responsibility falls to the parents of the children and you can create whatever punitive laws you want to punish and hold parents accountable for preventing their kids from accessing the internet.

It’s literally the same thing we do with prescription drugs and alcohol. Some people have to lock them up, but mostly those bottles are unlocked and accessible to kids all over the world and we expect the parents to do the gatekeeping and then punish/hold the parents accountable when they don’t.

The parents have the responsibility of enforcing it and that’s it, that’s enough.

If you want to add laws to say that parents that fail to keep their kids off the internet can lose their kids, fine idgaf. Create whatever you want to hold parents accountable but as parents, this is THEIR problem.

I’m sick of this. If it’s that big of a deal, we just need to ban kids from the internet. Full stop. No intermediary measure will be good enough.

yessss old butterfingers were the best
