  • I’m dealing with this with my 10 year old daughter, all her friends have social media, Facebook Messenger etc.

    I found delta chat, which uses IMAP email, but presents it in a chat format, she just needed her friends email accounts, easy. And it killed the desire for messenger.

    We also recently setup her own website with a forum, so she and her friends can write stories, share images etc. We haven’t got to her actually building her own homepage yet, but it’s coming.

    She hasn’t experienced mass social media yet, so having her own (sub)domain with a forum, her email@domain, etc is exciting for her and is letting her express herself on a platform that me and her can both fully control.



  • Yup, have to agree. I would like to see mandatory drug screening abolished.

    If you are noticeably impaired, there should be an investigation and consequences. Not being able to get a job because a substance shows up in a test? Not a fan.

    For people who interact with Children, enhanced scrutiny and monitoring during the duration of the employment is fine. A child predator might pass a test for drugs with flying colours, but he’s still a danger. Someone who likes to smoke pot after work would fail a drug test but be completely fine on the job.
