Restricting access to devices is the easy part (although keeping ahead of kids breaking in is not). Exposing your kids to enormous peer pressure and social isolation is the hard part.

Of course it is, it is bait after all.

And while I'm thinking about trying to dig a posthole with my spoon, I may realise that a fence is not the solution.

Shouldn't it be obvious?

It would be quicker to manually move the URLs to a text file, then supply that as input to a tool like wget. However, you will almost certainly end up with either un-necessarily bloated files, or saved sites that don't quite work.

I still stand by the spirit of my original comment - there probably isn't enough information content in your 800 tabs to make this endeavour worthwhile.

>800-ish tabs

You're never going to read those, before the links rot.

Most people I knew used the ink tube of a ballpoint pen, as it could be held in place with the lid of the console. You knew who pirated games, because the lid of their console had ink stains all over the inside..

If you started calling British black people "African", it wouldn't be long before you got a punch.

By that argument, developing countries aren't very diverse at all, which is why they aren't doing as well.

It's pretty daft to call anyone African if they're not African.

New comment by fdsfdsafdsafds in "Most people with addiction simply grow out of it (2014)"

I was very curious about this statement by the article's author:

> Moreover, if addiction were truly a progressive disease, the data should show that the odds of quitting get worse over time. In fact, they remain the same on an annual basis, which means that as people get older, a higher and higher percentage wind up in recovery.

The first reference I clicked on was https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22985744/, which states:

> Remission from PDUD was greater for younger individuals.

It seems this article is based too heavily on the personal experience and opinions of the author.

FWIW, I think that societal solutions can work as well as medical ones. However, that has the implicit assumption that drug addiction, and the use of certain drugs, is bad. This is an opinion I have recently returned to, and also that reducing drug use and addiction to certain substances should begin with societal norms and limiting supply.
