the strange and perplexing duality of having throughly grown up with smartphones and knowing both that the free, unlimited, and semi-personal access to the internet they provided was, while also a curse, probably vital to your and others free positive development during otherwise hostile situations and times, and probably still is today... and also that it is a poison box of misery that you'd probably be better off without. or at least with way way less of. and then for fun, trying to imagine how you'd regulate your own kids time with it, if you were to have one

#even if you don't want a kid i think it's important to think about right? how'd you handle it #personally it's a family pc till you're 10 then you get a flip phone and at 13 you get your own pc #and we can talk about an iphone at 16 young....spawn....?#if you could promise a kid would grow up with kind and supportive guardians then i'd say chuck them out your nearest window. no kid needs #an iphone. hell i'm mostly convinced i don't have a good excuse to own one. but unfortunately no one can promise that #so i suppose better safe than sorry
