Thank you, i appreciate your extra guidance for lemmy lol

Thanks!

Reminds me of gink

I have gamed with my dad, I pick different games. Those ratings are handy sometimes.

I can see it being awkward if it was like… my parent or someone i don’t know well. My partner? No, we joke around, decide what to respond together, discuss what we like and don’t like about it, you know, couple shit.

What does your girlfriend have to do with anything?

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta eat

Look, I don’t live in Australia, but the way you describe it makes it sound like every single person is a cunt and every place is exactly the same, urban or rural.

Tell me the places with these mosquito sounds.

Can they take public transport or their bikes? A group have their parent or other family provide rides?

Parents aren’t helicoptery enough of this is the kind of shit teens are up against day in and day out.

Here’s what happens when the cops show up to a busy body call. The cops show up, they ask what’s going on, they see nothing illegal is happening and leave. Kids continue living their lives. Can’t loiter at the park. Don’t trespass or loiter in a parking lot or other private property. If they keep calling, the cops start recognizing whose calling and stop questioning the same kids over and over. Cops always give warnings about loitering. If your police are arresting minors for loitering, you got bigger problems. Honestly, isn’t it just a ticket?

Whether or not cops are safe depends on many factors, but having the cops know where you’re kids are isn’t a terrible thing.

cops love to frame innocent people

Get off the internet and crime shows

How dangerous are the police in Australia? How many fatalities? How often?

Edit: advocating for after school programs / funding would be worthwhile. I think your perspective is exaggerated and dismissive, but we could potentially agree on this much.

I think this perspective (that teens have nothing else in their lives other than social media) is harmful. I don’t understand why they’re not able to do the same things teens did before social media…

Police being called on harmless teenagers by the same busybodies over and over again kind of sorts itself out after awhile.

In addition to location, the data collected moreso resemble demographics than specifics. And on some of the most mundane shit at first glance, but actually gives a very clear picture of the consumer. Things like 1. OS installed 2. version of OS installed 3. Battery percentage 4. Total device memory 5. Remaining total memory and more things like that.

I liken it to how a psychic fools people into thinking they are magical when really they are incredibly perceptive and experienced in making judgements based on client’s clothes, appearance, demeanor, etc before they even open their mouths.
