Don’t force your kids to do anything for a time. Don’t provide the work or entertainment. You can give them a few limited options to work with if they choose, but it will surprise you to see the level of play they come up with a bit of time

We do quiet time in my home where my kids go to their rooms with a small activity box for acouple hours. They hated it at first because they were “bored”, now they love it. The amazing things they come up with when I come back to the room t

You are missing the fact that the salesmen of climate change have been politicians, and politicians lie, and politicians propose political solutions, they want more and more of my limited money, and browbeat people who already don’t like or

That’s a wrong analogy. If you want to stay with cars, it’s like Google saying when you buy their car, you are only allowed to go to 6 pre determined destinations in their vehicles. Some people find comfort in the lack of choice, since they

Save your money. Live to the lowest standard you can. I had my business start to fail while my second was born. I thought I wouldn’t recover it. I did. It is survivable. I now have three, but my income is still significantly down. Thriftine

Ban free association then if you are worried about the wrong ideas being propogated to people. Build the police state and massive bureacracy that can enforce this at that the detriment to us all, or start trying to engage with these people

Clearly it is not illegal speech. Regardless of that, is your solution to a decades old problem that pre dated the internet is to ban online forums that don’t tow approved narratives? I think you will be incredibly disappointed in the resul

That is the equivalence of saying murder laws prevent or reduce murder, when here we are discussing mass murder events. There is an underlying issue in our society that creates this lashing out behavior, and hiding it under the precept of p

Chicken and egg. Do these forums create the behavior or just create the outlet? I think we have a fundamental issue with men and how they are treated from a young age in our society, and it has nothing to do with the chans. You can look at

Are you of the belief that hatred and radicalization doesn’t exist in environments that lack free speech? Lot’s of places on this planet have hyper radicalized portions of their populations that commit aggregious acts of violence, and they

Essentially. Mass shootings have turned into a political spectacle at this point. It is it’s own version of a left versus right blood sport now, where everyone is quick to keep a score. The media and entertainment industries specifically, s

The author is missing the point of the canned food drive. It isn’t about hampering the buying efficiency for the charity, it’s about the fact that it’s easier to convince people, who may not have much money themselves, to go into their pant

I don’t think it needs to get there. Schools need to back off the punishment and let the children sort it out and keep eyes on them afterwards. If it continues after the altercation, step in to help mediate, but otherwise we need to be teac

I think zero tolerance on both parties plays a large part into this. I was mercilessly bullied in elementary school until I attacked my bully at recess in 6th grade. I’m almost 40 now and it still stands out as a pivotal moment in my growth

To be fair, Crowder went after an outspoken socialism activist named Carlos Maza who happens to be very openly gay, to the point where his twitter handle is gaywonk, and he hosts an opinion program with Vox and shows up in media from time t

It’s done because private industry in most circumstances, does it better than government can, and at the end of the day it can be significantly cheaper and less of a boondoggle than if government did it all themselves as government likes to

I would argue differently. Government has shown time and again that it’s one size fits all approach towards schooling isn’t working. Combine their poor execution, purposeful lack of civics training, with special interests and rent seeking,

It’s not a shame. At a time in this country it was expected that citizens of means stepped into the gaps that government either couldn’t go into or couldn’t do well, and some of our best institutions come from this philanthropy. I applaud L

It is an uncomfortable trend. I’ve largely ducked out of these conversations on HN anymore, trying to explain why basic free speech is important, and hitting resistance, shows the obvious failings (success?) of public modern schooling. We h

The existence of weapons in a population also serves as a deterrence and a check against more criminal activity bleeding out into the general population as a whole. A part of the reason you see so much mass shooting activity in gun free are

Hyperbolic non sense. Child porn is illegal and has a clear legal definition. We don’t argue as a society over what is or isn’t child pornography. We don’t look at puppy videos and complain to others that it’s child pornography. We do have

It’s not up to you to decide the validity of speech or opinions, and who gets exposed to what. In a free society this isn’t your call to make. The benchmark of critical thinking faculties is commonly a political test when it comes to speech

There is no such thing as hate speech, it is a political concept to crush dissenting opinions and limit speech. That’s it. Pushing it further underground out of public view doesn’t make it go away either. You get a further closed echo chamb

Removing books from a "book" marketplace, that do not break any laws, aren't lewd or pornographic, and simply present alternative information on a subject, is not on the same level as spam. Censorship is censorship. It doesn&
