Nah I welcome polite/informative ranting, makes for an interesting time on here.

I think I continue to agree with you.

Personally, I subscribe (to my own personal theory) that we haven’t really biologically “evolved” since when we were living together in small/villages as tribes — effectively communes. We did not evolve to know everything about the entire world and have the problem-solving/logistical skills necessary to feed and help more than maybe 100 people (those that should live in our commune) lol

All that to say I think living on a commune with my fam and buddies would be pretty cool, so long as no tankies are there lol.

Fuuuuuuck Russia and all its sympathizers. I’m not educated enough to speak with authority on communism vs. capitalism, so I digress there.

No you’re right, I oversimplified and falsely associated the dictatorships that ruled under the guise of “Nah this is communism guys ITS FOR YOU”

Yep, my first account was made on the wrong instance and I was like “wtf is wrong with everyone here? Like I get corporations fuckin’ suck, but communism???”

They’re also HUGE babies and will claim -ism, -phobia, etc. by stretching the littlest thing.

Thank god ‘bout you shut up.

Hardly a luxury. Don’t have kids if you’re not going to plan around having kids. And if you have kids and plan poorly don’t start going “woe is me” to strangers on the internet about how hard your life is based off your own life choices. Get out of my dm’s you stalker lol.

You did not just relay an opinion you heard on the radio. You didn’t even it frame it as that. Your initial reply stated your opinions as if they were objective facts lol. I don’t know why you kept arguing with me if you agreed the whole time lol. Tryna gaslight me as if I started this little back and forth between us is crazy. Buh-bye weirdo.

Reconciliation of results was challenging, and findings should be treated with caution given differences in methods and measures, and discrepancies in operational definitions of the bans themselves. For example, the results of two studies supporting bans for improved academic outcomes were restricted to low-achieving students from low socioeconomic (SES) backgrounds… That is, they found that high-achieving and economically advantaged students were less likely to benefit academically from mobile phones use in class, as compared to their disadvantaged peers

Beland and Murphy (2016) examined exam scores in secondary school students and found that in schools which imposed a mobile phone ban, exam scores improved by an average 0.07 standard deviation, pre- to post-ban. Importantly, this effect was driven by the finding that students in the lowest quintile of prior academic achievement made a gain of approximately 14.23% of a standard deviation in test scores, while for students in the top quintile, test scores were unrelated to the ban.

Despite the variability of findings, it seems that in some circumstances there are some negative, although small, impacts of mobile phone use on academic outcomes. This suggests that restrictions on mobile phones in schools might be beneficial for some students’ academic achievement but make no difference to others.

Considering the ban largely concerns itself with CLASSROOMS in South Korea — a place where students are SUPPOSED TO LEARN, y’know, where the principle concern is academics — I’d say that their findings support the ban more than anything else.

Furthermore, TWO studies showed increases in bullying/cyberbullying while the MAJORITY showed decreases in such harassment — but the study still postures itself in a way that hypothesizes why it increases and further hypothesizes that phones shouldn’t be banned to prevent that POSSIBILITY.

The answer is simple if you read your own linked study and actually use your brain while doing so. It’s clear the authors entered into this metastudy with preconceived biases from their “narrative” and highly suggestive “findings” which you cherry-picked your own conclusions from to support your odd, logically questionable comment. And again, you don’t need a study by some rando people to conclude that phones are just not needed and possibly harmful at school for children.

Again, put your iPad down dude, you probably got a kid to go parent. Otherwise, go touch grass :)

God I hate tiny screen. I truly find myself so much happier without tiny screen.

I grew up in the 00’s/10’s so I’m grateful to remember a time before the iPhone lol. Even the early iPhone/Androids were okay.

But now, it’d just an addiction propagating (gambling, gaming, porn, doomscrolling) and parasocial relationship creating metal+glass brick with the added bonus of corporate and government surveillance and a duty to respond to emails and work calls lol.

You make great points by the way. You comment on tiny screen addiction is what got me thinking about how much I hate smartphones these days.

Good point. It could be that! It could be both as well - Bella and the writers.

All I know is that one of the parties involved in Ellie’s portrayal messed with the formula and made it a lil worse than S1.
