My garbage parents won't let me watch TV when I was small. Not even educational TV for primary schools children teach stuff like difference between germs and virus. But their low educational background by all mean definitely not offering more to me. They said books are waste of money and they tear apart comic books that I bought using my little saving in front of my eyes. Only thing I can do is doing nothing just siting at home all day. After I made money from partime job and bought myself books, I never talked to them.

Remember that received an invitation to participate IQ test when I was in 3rd grade, gave the letter to my garbage parent and then never heard anything back. Class teacher may have noticed that there is a weird kid in the class and wanted to do something. But sorry miss you can't help me. Babies should be public property and let gov handle them when parents do not meet the intelligence criteria.

Just to say that maybe elsagate videos worth more than some human adults.

Your parents sound shitty but not for the 'no tv' rule tbh.

But these videos talk constantly. How could watching videos lead to hearing fewer words?

Studies show that toddlers can't learn from video.

Very similar here.

What will you do regarding schools, have you thought about that? Normally I'm not a control freak, but I worry that our hard work protecting him from the negative effects of screen addiction will quickly be destroyed if he's put into an environment where every other kid has a phone and is addicted to it.

Why?

It's the phone of other kids, they will not give their phones away

You really are in market for Apple laptop and 200 dollar more for extra 8GM RAM is arm and a leg for you?
Meninoyo · 2 years ago
It's 20% more.

I think even worse than that is that they still only put 8 GB RAM in the base and middle options.
Meninoyo · 2 years ago
I'm pretty sure that's their gatekeeping.

I looked at the price for m3 and if it would have 16gig it would literally be perfect for just 1k but nope 8 more gigs cost you an arm and a leg

I grew up with Nintendo being my "main" game console and to this day I play (Switch) but I'm starting to wonder, might this be a company that's worth boycotting? Sure I'd miss out on the exclusives but lots of games exist on multiple platforms or have similar games on other platforms.

Nintendo's behaviour seems to be very much anti hacker and even anti-consumer in cases like this one. Anyone else have any strong feelings about this?

Meninoyo · 2 years ago
Nintendo started with consoles and the quality sign to make sure you buy quality after people were disappointed with Atari and other systems

And the target audience is still kids/family. Playing games doesn't need to be PC first or mobile first and it hinders quality.

Nintendo has the same right as Sony and ms to sell their system.

I would love to have it for PC, don't get me wrong, but families don't play games in front of a PC.

I don't think this argument is fair.
