Whats the service that negotiates medical bills?

They are coming? They are already here. RE: What the president said about Rosie O'donnell last week. Norms have been eroded and we are now clearly in the laws-are-being-eroded territory.

Correct. Rosie is an American citizen born in the US and Trump threatened to "revoke" her citizenship.

We are all provisional citizens at this point.

My family and I keep the Shabbat, which includes no electronics usage and I can not imagine doing it any differently.

I'm going to pivot into being a full-time techno shabbas goy if this movement gets large enough. I'll join the legions of dog-walkers and apartment-sitters.

Or just go hang out with friends, that's what I do. I get to hang out with people I like, people I like a little less, people I agree with, people I disagree with it. It makes me for a more humble and understanding person.

It was a joke.

Shabbat is no joke! :P

In what sense?

What makes it invasive?

SEO folks working for whom?

>I have no idea what limits they have.

I think that's the key part here.

No, I think the key is that the kids haven't been banned from using them but are still fine.

I am obviously a bit early, as my oldest is only 7, but my wife and I decided to force ourselves to delay getting our kids (7 & 4) their own media device, such as an iPad and go straight to a laptop when it becomes a necessity in school. My 7 year old, with immense attention issues, is obsessed with reading and being creative, I could not imagine her being at her reading level if she had an iPad or some other form of digital media consumption. I can not imagine how rotten her brain would be if she had access to Tiktok or Instagram.

My daughter has an iPad (we limit to 2 hours of screens) but she also loves reading and will read for hours a day.

Two hours a day?

I take to indicate they're reading physical book and perhaps other physical media.

My 7yo reads voraciously, including on her Kindle. This depends a bit on the kid, but also quite a lot on the household overall.

That’s a bold statement. It does not match the reality I observe at all.

We have an entire generation of people i.e. us growing up with computers and TVs.

There is no evidence that it has had any negative effects.

The problem is exclusively with social media. And in particular the way it is having young kids being shaped by adult role models e.g. Andrew Tate, Mr Beast who don't have their wellbeing in mind. And being subjected to adult themed content in volumes we've never seen before.

I saw the negative effects of smartphone access firsthand all around me when I was in middle school and the iPhone 3G had come out, which predated influencers. Kids became antisocial.

I was antisocial in school. It was before phones, and I spent recess reading books. Good times!

I was antisocial then became relatively social just because everyone else became even more antisocial. It's like that Simpsons episode where everyone starts acting like Bart, and he realizes the problem with that.

Why not?

A reasonable argument can be made that the government enticed people to break the law. In some jurisdictions (like Germany) this kind of behavior is illegal for the police to use, only the secret services can do so (but only very limited in scope, and their discoveries are all but impossible to share with police).

How did they entice anyone to commit a crime? They created a vessel for crime to occur, and it occurred because the criminals wanted to commit the crime.

That's like saying speeders are enticed by government built roads

As someone’s who is pretty enmeshed in the RE industry, I never heard of title searches being done locally or by a local agent. 90% of it is automated by the 3 big underwriters and the rest, should something specific come up, gets dealt with by some low rank title co employee.

Automated how exactly, when so many Counties in the US are not online?

What's the new price?
