why do retarded millennial parents insist on giving their children devices that will ruin their life?
>>108224927Dunno OP look in a mirror and ask yourself it
Who the fuck care what a child entertainer does?
>>108224927the kids are gonna steal money and buy the phone themselves if the parents dont buy it
Because normies are the guardians of the matrix. They follow narratives and keep the machine running. Without them, onionciety collapses.

>>108224927like how bad can it be a device is not monster impreza
>>108224927How does Linus feel none of his children look like him and they look like vegetable peddlers on the ground in the Philippines?
>>108224980i didn't have a cell phone until i was 13 and didn't have a smartphone until i was 16
>>108224927They don't wanna bond with their children, finding them as headaches to deal with. Single parents, moms in particular, do this.
>>108225068he is a leaf. they yearn for the total replacement of their own people by billions of browns.
>>108224927live action beavis and butthead
>>108224927Cute kids. Adopted?
>>108225068Head shapes matchGet better at your phrenology skills
>>108225406It doesn't count if you were born before smartphones. I bet you had a playstation when you were 10
>>10822686adopted from his balls
>>108224927I've had this discussion with parents and usually the reasoning is that they don't want their children to be left out in school where all the other kids have smartphones.but seems like people are starting to wise up in some countries at least.
>>108224927In the case of Linus, autism. In the case of normies, being a retard. The worst parents I know also happen to be most loose ones about phones, computers and internet. Their children all sound braindead from consuming tiktok brainrot.
>>108224927Who is the father of his kids?
>>108224927I don't have kids so I might be a bit clueless, but I'd like to think there's a middle ground between>unlimited unfiltered internet setting them up to doomscroll from an early age and leaving them to stumble upon all manner of dodgy shitand>full on amish mode, no tech until you're an adultI'd also like to think Linus would be fairly well placed to draw the right lines at the right times.The boy says he mainly uses it for discord (hopefully that's mostly irl friends). The girl seems more interested in taking pictures and says she won't be allowed it at school. It all feels fairly innocent to me, I doubt they'll end up tiktok zombies.
>>108224927>baizuo turns out to be someone with a broken moral compass and thus a bad parent to bootWho could have seen this coming from the class of western tech-obsessed nerds.
>>108227288>full on amish mode, no tech until you're an adultComputers are better than a smartphone in this regard, but preferably limited to 2 hours per day not through artificial means but through life simply enforcing that natural limit.>(hopefully that's mostly irl friends)I highly doubt it.>It all feels fairly innocent to meYou can't possibly be that naive.
>>108226966>they don't want their children to be left out in school where all the other kids have smartphones.As an Eastern European zoomer, smartphones were banned in my schools for most of my time in one until enforcement became more relaxed as teachers themselves adopted them. Hell, even regular dumb brick phones you had to keep hidden or silenced or else they might get confiscated. In hindsight, as exciting as my first smartphone being a Moto G3, it was the first domino to fall in my journey to damnation. Because that power ends up getting abused. I was fine before a smartphone, the computer and the rules of a computer were simple enough to follow before a smartphone.
>>108224927Your parents gave you a computer when you were young. So
>>108225068He made the funniest cuckpost a few years ago "I WISH MORE OF MY COUNTRY LOOKED BROWN" tier coping about how his hapa children are going to grow up to hate him.
>>108227307>You can't possibly be that naiveIt's completely possible to lock down a phone enough that it can only be used to chat with people you already know, take pictures (which get automatically backed up so the parents know what they're taking pictures of), etc. 99% of the time they aren't set up that way, but Linus is in the 1% of parents who can and will. People have snapped straight from "give the kids unlimited internet devices, what could go wrong" to "phones are radioactive waste, ban them completely".(Caveat, if the kids are smart and very technically inclined then they can admittedly probably work around the restrictions.)
>>108227329Not as conveniently usable as the smartphone is anywhere you want to use them.
>>108227288The answer is to give your kids tech, but make it the tech that requires some level of skill to use.Want to browse tiktok? Sure, but you can only do it on a desktop. And desktop time is linked to homework time. None of it until homework is done. You want your phone? Sure, but it's a feature phone. You're not getting a full-on smartphone to use around the house, and if you do, I'm giving you the most complicated piece of shit Linux phone imaginable. Why? Because they're going to learn how this shit works so it doesn't exploit them. The reason kids fall down this brainrot rabbit hole is because getting trapped in the doomscrolling web is one-click, you click one of these apps and it now spends most of its time trying to get you to open it. This wouldn't have worked on a more tech literate population because most people would see how it is managing to suck people in under-the-hood and opt out entirely. Using social media, tiktok, X, Roblox isn't the problem; using it while not understand how it works or what its business model relates to you is the problem
>>108225485The worst part is that you are not even joking. He straight up said as much.Why are canadians like this?
>>108227359Give them an older gen iphone, then. It'll start to melt in their hands if they install anything more complex than snake.
>>108225068He aint called "Linus Racemixing Tips" for nothing
>>108225008Because he has influence over other people. His actions can change the world.
>>108225016That's actually not the response expected from most people Jamal
>>108224927>t. not a parentlmao
>>108224927What if linus secretly has some white mistress with five kids?
>>108227370We aren't. Only the ones that get platformed are like this.
>>108224927I never want to see this manchild again.
>>108224927He already ruined their lives by simply conceiving them, at this point there is nothing he can do to make it worse.
>>108224927Adulting is hard, they have to give their kids screens to shut them up while they focus on their busy lives of scrolling Instagram and eating doordash slop.
>>108225068They do look like him, but genetically theyre more closly related to some random hongcouver chinkoid than him. He must have had kids pretty young. True alpha
>oh my robert kennedy the heckin youtube man lets his teenage children have cellular telephones like every other parent!!!!!NOBODY CARES
>>108224927that little faggot has 0 genes
What ugly mutts, his wife is a gene stealer who upgraded her genes but he got downgraded. Some tech cunt he is... purposefully mixing inferior equipment with master race components.What a waste. Disgusting.
what's with these /pol/ schizos kysazn women are qt
>>108228922Is that you, Sam "anti natalist" Altman?
I watched the video, apparently his kids can't even bring the phone to school
>>108231785Nah, I was referring specifically to them being half breeds. Pure child abuse.
>>108225016How you gonna get finessed out of money by your own underage brain not fully developed child?
>>108231718I've never met a White man that was into Asian women and that wasn't a big loser that couldn't get a quality White woman.There's a reason all White expats married to Asians are LBH (Loser Back Home).
>>108227329>Your parents gave you a computer when you were youngI wish. Alcoholic father who had an iron grip on our money, spent it all on basic groceries and booze. Bought my first computer when I was 19 and had moved out. That was 14 years ago.
OP grew up poor and envious of every other kid around, and it shows.
>>108228156Ok then.The kids are gonna resent their parents forever, get out as soon as they can, even suck cocks behind alleys if they have to, and never show themselves to their parents ever again.
>>108224927I don't. my kids peers are so fucking dumb it is very sad. At least my kids will have a leg up. I don't let them use the internet by themselves or have their own personal devices. I use whitelisting based browsing on a family computer that is in a common area. They are only allowed to use it when I am in the room and I have monitoring software that screengrabs everything. I found this god forsaken website in 2005 in my youth and it fucked me up for life. The internet is even worse for kids now. I refuse to throw my kids to the pedo furry discord wolves like almost every parent is doing.
>>108224927>Gen Alpha's identity is being feral iPad children >parents are giving Gen Beta iPads "ironically" for upboats and viewsWhy?
>>108224927>my kids
>>108227370The answer is unironically Jews.
>>108235482nah my kids love and respect me and my guidance. they see how dumb their peers are in comparison.
>>108224927I guess because they're retarded?My kids are 8 and 6. They have never used a computing device of any kind in an unguided setting.
>>108224927you gonna ruin life of your kid if you dont give them devices their peers use
>>108225068dude the girl in that photo literally looks like female Linus
>>108224927while i agree smartphones are bad especially for young people it is useful to be able to call your child for safety purposes.
>>108236308who gives a shit
>>108224927>posting your kids online
>>108225068the fuck does he care they look human
>>108236308Their "peers" won't even have kids of their own lolThey're going to be feminist and gay
>>108225406that's cute, smartphones didn't exist when I was 16
>>108236348he's smart enough to realize they will be youtubers in the future so he's getting the nepotism started
>>108224927Do you want your kids to be cut off from communication with all the other kids? When then they all communicate over smart phone, your kid is going to be left out. It makes a big difference if there are a lot of conversations that you aren't part of in a social group.You are probably ruining his childhood by not letting him have one.
>>108236409If you actually feel that way, you're a psychopath and you definitely don't have children.
>>108224927they are both set for life retard, their father is a millionaire that owns 3 houses
>>108236409Linus's children are going to be insufferable, vapid, liberal turbonormies and you fucking know it.
>>108236492better than being a 4chan chuddie desu
I don't know, it's pretty bad. I'm in a custody battle right now over my 2 year old and her mother lets her use an iPad from what I can see. I think she gives her limited, supervised access, but I think it's super unnecessary at this age but unfortunately I have no rights.
>>108234323>cope fabricated by hoa karens>>108236452>t. has no children
>>108224927how will it ruin their life? people like you are why government now want us to hand over id to use websites. i grew up with computers and it was great
>>108227370Suicide is badass
>>108236540lets be honest most young people who use a smartphone are gonna be indoctrinated by social media and current year talking points. when we grew up with computers the internet was vastly different and we weren't inundated by some bullshit "culture war"
>>108224927Does he have a kid that actually looks like him?
>>108236452Character attacks to distract from the actual point, classic. If you are excluded from a bunch of conversations it sucks for your child. End of story. You are probably just a conservative. You can always recognise conservatives because they are incapable of seeing any perspective other than their own.When conservatives talk about kids, they always talk from the viewpoint of parents, never the viewpoint of kids. It's braindamage. When the childrens viewpoint is the one that actually matters, if you care about them.
>>108236673no. his chink wife is kinda pretty though
>>108236503channers have phones too
>>108236520>>t. has no childrennah>>108236283
>>108236760>Character attacks to distract from the actual point, classic.In this case, ad hominem is valid because your character is the reason for your childlessness.
>>108224927He should take the kids back from Whatever county he got them
