No, funnily enough, I do agree with some of that. It is still insufferable because he is using his authority and social media clout in one sphere (fashion, which I used to respect him for, and which he had earned) as a cover to air his political opinions (where he is no different from the next person).
> I don't know mate, if you cannot ignore it, which I find it pretty easy to personally, then maybe this isn't a Derek Guy issue.
These swipes aren't necessary. This trick of trying to make me look like the bad guy isn't going to work. As for ignoring him, yes, I did. I unfollowed him because it was clear he was no longer a reliable authority on fashion for me.
My kids are 9 and 6 and the older is impulsive/adhd, so I am very careful with her. She used to want to watch kids playing with toys / unboxing videos when they were in vogue years ago and I shut that down quickly. I want her to play with those things, not watch someone else.
We allow a <2hours of screentime a day; TV or Chromebook. But it's mostly the former.
I have adguard at home where I sheepishly block things when they find sites I don't like and they use their schools Chromebooks at home which already is pretty restrictive. Only Roblox on the tablet.
Their friends have smart phones, which I find abhorrent. Although her friends are breaking them and parents are just not replacing them, so at this point it's moot. The unrestrictive iPad time I hear from her that other kids get is annoying and won't happen here.
The path to that end has many solutions, and the methods to obtain that value are overdetermined. Long term or short term outlooks and nuances between. Cost-benefit analysis paired with changing technology and political landscapes, along with different definitions of what value is and how to go about creating it.
It's a terrible solution.
