    Big news if it holds.

    The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

      Could be good. Or horrible.

          It's a lawsuit about addiction. TNCR is clearly not addictive. Just ask @george-k , @jolly , @copper , @aqua-letifer , @brenda , etc.

            If TNCR is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

            I can't believe I just wrote that.

            I was only joking

              Anything we can do to reduce the reliance on social media would be great. There are people, I won't name names, who live in my house who aren't me or my kids that often fall into the doom scrolling on facebook or instagram but it's ok it's not like there are entire piles of clutter that could be addressed with 30 minutes of phoneless time, and I'm totally not being sarcastic either!

                On a serious note, not that the other post wasn't totally serious, the other day I was watching my kid at gymnastics and other (little) kids are walking around the hallway and if you look around, 9/10 parents are just glued to their phone, neck hunched over...and I thought "Man, what message are we teaching our kids if they look up from their vantage point and all they see are these tall grown-ups glued to a device." It made me sad (and yes I'm guilty of it as well).

                  Kids doing gymnastics are not as interesting as the Internet, clearly. The bits that are interesting would be captured and shared on the Internet. Duh!
