No I don't. Your reasoning is absurd.

Today I can walk into a shop and buy alcohol without showing my ID.

I can also walk into my local library and read any book I wish to, some with adult themes. I could do this as a teenage too. I also did this in my own school library.

Demanding to see ID to access online content is a terrible idea and it is the parent's responsibility to look after children. It should be an understanding between the parent and child on what they should be accessing online. If that breaks down then the parent should do their job of being a parent. Take the device away and punish the child.

> I'm sure that 13 year olds who don't get enough sleep because they're endlessly scrolling through ads, influencers, and disinformation

I didn't get sleep as a teenager because I read books. Should we ban those too?

You write like why the lucky stiff the author of why's poignant guide.

I'll wait until there is an AMD CPU to buy with this setup.

This was my experience with a Steelcase Gesture Headrest. The refused to fix it and just wanted to give me a refund. The lean was so bad that I was falling out of the chair.

This is interesting. Have you got any more information/literature? I really need to find a solution.

I just decided to start talking on public forums. I had an old account in my password manager that I never used to make a comment. I do not understand why my above comment has been downvoted. It is my experience with the product.

It has been the worst for me since I have bought a Herman Miller Aeron. The thing leans to the right. I have got replacements, but they were all made the same month and have the same leaning issue. Some worse some better. Such poor quality control.
Didn't darknetdiaries do a podcast on how this very thing happened?

Really? Is this not Doublespeak?

So like money?
