They don't wanna bond with their children, finding them as headaches to deal with. Single parents, moms in particular, do this.

>>
>>108224927
I'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.
>>
>>108224927
In 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.
>>
>>108224927
Who is the father of his kids?
>>
>>108224927
I 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 shit
and
>full on amish mode, no tech until you're an adult
I'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 boot
Who could have seen this coming from the class of western tech-obsessed nerds.
>>
>>108227288
>full on amish mode, no tech until you're an adult
Computers 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 me
You 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.
>>
>>108224927
Your parents gave you a computer when you were young. So
>>
>>108225068
He 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 naive
It'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.)
>>
>>108227329
Not as conveniently usable as the smartphone is anywhere you want to use them.
>>
>>108227288
The 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

He aint called "Linus Racemixing Tips" for nothing

Because he has influence over other people. His actions can change the world.

He already ruined their lives by simply conceiving them, at this point there is nothing he can do to make it worse.
>>
>>108224927
Adulting 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.
>>
>>108225068
They 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

I'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).

I 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.
>>
>>108228156
Ok 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.
>>
>>108224927
I 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.

nah my kids love and respect me and my guidance. they see how dumb their peers are in comparison.

I 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.

he's smart enough to realize they will be youtubers in the future so he's getting the nepotism started
>>
>>108224927
Do 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.
>>
>>108236409
If you actually feel that way, you're a psychopath and you definitely don't have children.
>>
>>108224927
they are both set for life retard, their father is a millionaire that owns 3 houses

Linus's children are going to be insufferable, vapid, liberal turbonormies and you fucking know it.
>>

better 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.

Suicide is badass
>>
>>108236540
lets 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"
>>
>>108224927
Does he have a kid that actually looks like him?
>>
>>108236452
Character 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.

>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.
