If you take nothing else from what I’m about to say, take this: you will not cause suicide by asking someone directly if they’re thinking about it.

The mental health world has firmly renounced the idea of not asking someone directly. And I’m hoping to get as many people as possible to understand this and to jettison silence. You might be the lifeline they didn’t know they were allowed to grab.

It isn't a law, it's good communal parenting.

Parents in Greystones chose to delay smartphone access until their children reached the age of 12 as a result of the town-wide agreement. Capatina praised the simplicity and effectiveness of the initiative: “It has completely solved the problem.”

The code’s voluntary nature hasn’t diminished its impact. Despite some opting out, sufficient participation has developed a norm in which being phone-free is accepted. Contrary to misconceptions, Harper clarified their stance: “We’re not against technology…just asking them to wait till secondary school.”

It definitely is a thing, especially for the elderly. I'm not sure what percentage of scams are done that way, but it's much easier to scam someone if they don't have a chance to think much about what's happening.

That being said, most of the scams I know of that do this don't ask you to install an app on your phone. They just ask personal questions or for login details or something like that

After 10 years, the maximum observed mass loss reached about 84%, indicating that a substantial fraction of the original material was still present in the soil. In urban-like environments, however, degradation reached only about 52%, leaving nearly half of the filter material behind.

I do this all the time. The great thing is that you get your edits first, meaning you don't have to wait for them to be public before using them.

I agree with this, but the biggest benefit to me is that it's (a) open source and auditable, (b) self-hostable to owning my data, and (c) has a cheap hosted plan so I can choose to not handle my own major security. For meeting all of my highest personal priorities I'm willing to put up with some clunkiness. But, man, I would love the friendliness I hear about from the likes of 1password!

Why did I never think about that? I'm gonna do it ASAP

 

Living in the USA where cases of both are on the rise. Would it be a good idea to get the vaccine(s) again? Or is that pointless since I was vaccinated as a child?
