    Teenagers have sex, rather is a proven fact over millenia. Should they do it somewhere safe and secure, or do you want to make them desperate and have it happen somewhere unsafe, or potentially illegal? Why not talk with your kid, make sure he’s using condoms, and make sure it happens somewhere appropriate?

    You can clutch your pearls all you want. Your kid still had sex before you knew about it, because I’m sure they dont trust you.



  • The power button is stuck on, and it does an occasional unsettling arc sound and the image slightly distorts for a millisecond. I believe the latter is fairly common among old CRTs but I don’t know much more than that.

    Sounds like a degauss!

    It’s relatively common for CRT screens degauss as they turn on, so it makes some sense that it’s still happening, even if the power button otherwise doesn’t work - the degauss must be triggered by a different internal mechanism than the one controlling the power



  • I understand the thought process and agree to a point - kids are definitely on too tight of leashes these days.

    That said, everything I read in that article tells me that the author is a fucking horrible parent and I wouldn’t want to ever be in 1000 feet of her demons.

    Yes, your kids should have some freedom. No, they shouldn’t actively be bothering everyone around them every moment they’re out of the house. Teach them respect and kindness, too.
