Children addicted to smartphones
It makes me sad when I see a family out for dinner and they're all looking at their phones and not talking with their parents. It's probably the same at home too. It was bad enough when I was a kid with TV and computers but this is a whole new level. At lease TV you would watch together but now it's a screen per person and everyone is totally disconnected. -

I don't have rug-rats. If I did, they would be limited in their phone exposure. Giving kids phones today is the same as putting your kid in front of a TV set was decades ago. Same same. It's to get them out of your hair and keep them quiet. In my day and age, my parents kicked our butts out the door and told me to play. Then they provide enough things to make it interesting: balls, bats, bows, arrrows, BB-guns, bikes, wagons, and they also taught us games to play - tag, hide and go seek, hop-scotch, jump-rope, stop-light. Or gave us money to go to the Saturday matinee at the theater if we'd been good kids, or sent us off to the pool. Considering I lived my youth on military bases, we always had access to that sort of stuff. If parents weren't so freaking lazy, they could teach their kids these things to. Or do stuff together like going fishing. But they don't. Maybe you can't blame them - they spent their youth in front of a TV set. Now the kids get phones. It's not the kid's fault. But they'll be the one's suffering in the end. -

TikTok is just mind melting. My 45 year old wife is looking at the crap all the time and it's just horrible. I can't be in the same room with her unless she wears headphones otherwise it's random noises changing 15 seconds on and on and on. Imagine being a kid and having your brain develop under these conditions. How do you not come away brain damaged I wonder. -

Trump-vs-XI: “The Winds of War”. Are they now inevitably blowing our way?
It's none of our business and Thai people have always been neutral. I'm not kidding. Thai people are neutral. As for those who support China, they are immigrants. -

Reminds me of studying Sociology at university in the 1980s. Moral Panics and Folk Devils (Stanley Cohen). Smart phones and social media are just the latest 'panics'. -

Best beach near Pattaya?
I'd tell you, but you for some insane reason apparently supported Kamala Harris. Probably don't live in Thailand either
