I’m typically all aboard with the no censorship. Here is the thing though, at what point is it advancing society or stagnating it when we want something altered from the original? We don’t have to evolve at the same rate or style as Japan, who has it’s own mix of progress and problems. If we always choose to not see…

Exactly. If it’s shameful, it’s according to a situation that doesn’t exist anymore and the people who haven’t caught on yet. Pretty soon we’ll have a generation that can’t retire and must live with their kids. This won’t be historically new, or even globally exceptional, and yet they will hope their kids and the…

It’s not so much I expect the trust fund types, more like just comfortably in the middle class. Generally high-paying jobs are achieved by word of mouth (statistically) and people tend to hire people like themselves, and so very rarely venture out of their class, purposefully or not. Professional affiliations makes…

I like this. Not enough people seem to realize how much of our stress is historically new and not really needed. I’m tired of watching people beat themselves over not meeting standards that were developed for different circumstances long ago.

It’s very very annoying that is considered “useless.” That’s such a political problem. It’s capitalism asking how you can contribute, and capitalism is way out of control now. In a society worth having, we need archeologists. We need the part of the population with interests beyond survival and accumulation of wealth…

No, he/she is referencing an actual phenomenon recognized in all social sciences : social capital. This is when you benefit from myriad side-effects of your class besides money - who your parents know, the coaches and parents that watched you play soccer who remember you when they need an employee, the fact that…

Can I also add the erosion of corporate social duty? Companies are unwilling to develop good workers - they now insist you come already experienced, and have stopped all internships and other programs to get the marketable skills.

I’m very curious, as a person who’s attended university and college and met and worked with thousands of millennial peers, how do you guys hire? Is it word of mouth? It’s just, that doesn’t sound like a millennial thing, it sounds like a class thing. The rich from any generation acts like that.

Ah yes, it trickles down within the fortified walls of banks in the Caiman Islands.

This, and I would also add, they now insist on having industry experience for entrance-level positions, while internships have all but vanished.

I’m not sure I’m ready to concede that a teacher’s duty is to childproof their personal spaces unless to ensure no harm comes to students in their care. I’m closer to saying that students approaching graduation age should be able to be in a car with a personal folder and not rife through it, as it does not expose them…

It’s difficult to express what I mean here, because there is a big distinction for a physical item with digital contents (calendars, email, games, safari, messages etc), and actual items like guns that are nothing more than a gun. I’m not sure you consider that an issue, which might be an age thing or something, but…

haha yup! But I’m not sure that app has worked it’s way up to the adult majority yet. Also, I suspect if it was a valentine’s day gift, it was probably a digital copy of a pro photo - not a selfie. Could be being too generous though!

I think your take on this is a balanced one, and it’s not that I’m trying to jump on you for a reasonable belief that this shouldn’t have happened so easily. I think my larger concern is that the role of teachers keeps being vaguely expanded in the public’s imagination. A teacher’s job is to teach youth, while making…

It’s complicated to me by the fact that the phone isn’t a tool, it’s a tool box. It isn’t one giant open room when you open, apps are sectioned off like rooms in a house. This kid poked in the phone equivalent of bathroom cabinets on purpose. The only difference is how far he had to travel to accomplish his invasion.…

This basically suggests you think all digital space is the same, not having an equivalent to physical walls. Phones, and, like, the entire digital realm, are partitioned, full of different places for different things. If you understand commenting here is not like texting your mother, then you know a photo gallery on a…

This 16 yr old went searching for something in places on her phone he knew might have it, to give her “a day of reckoning.” She’d been letting them use it for specific purposes in her presence, this is a driver’s license-capable student who snapchats and tweets, texts and takes photos, hunting. He wasn’t scarred from…

Did we always do the thing where only 3 models get name-recognition in the mainstream at a time? Like, Kendall, Gigi, and Cara seem like the only three models for common use.

The photo he distributed was intended as a valentine’s gift. Likely she’s the type to keep her phone pretty clean, knowing students use it, but since it’s only been a few weeks since Feb 14th, my guess is in the moment she quickly left the room, she wasn’t thinking of the one problematic image she’s got on her phone.

For me, anyway, it means you’d be assuming malicious intent, and enough that it justifies the work of a password every time you open it up. With 10 yr olds, I’d password it since I don’t expect them to act better than that. This only happened because someone wished her to experience “a day of reckoning,” which is…
