Can I get an internship? :)

Interesting side-note - as a minor who plays the game, Epic is essentially discouraging you at all from participating in the cash-sided part of the settlement with the follow-up of contract stipulation - if you request cash due to being a minor at the time of playing, Epic will force you to close your Epic Games account, across all games.

Parent is joking with the meme of “ If you don't understand the joke, then the joke's on you.”

You guys hiring any interns by any chance? Figured I might as well shoot my shot

Are you guys first-gen immigrants? I’m 17 and nearly every single one of my Indian friends is part of a 2-child family (n>~50).

I agree - I feel like one really important misconception to set aside is lumping "communication" in with "social media".

From a teenager's perspective, Instagram and TikTok are a lot worse for your mental health than say, Snapchat and iMessage.

In addition, for the queer community example - I'd say the perfect parallel for today would be Discord. Anyone can find a community and make friends on Discord, but it's probably not 5% as damaging to mental health because it's a communication based platform

I really don’t understand this. Is she saying that women tend to be less bold, outgoing, risk-taking? I’m a bit confused.

Do you guys plan on continuing with the jailbreakable iPhone method for iMessage bridging for the foreseeable future, or is there an alternative one can expect that is being worked on?

It's funny you mention AdBlock Plus but not uBlock Origin in this situation. I'd say the latter is much, much better than the former.

Do you know of any already-established scripts that do something like this? I was contemplating introducing a block site extension, but I don't know how much self control I'd have to not just remove it when I see a juicy article I just have to read.

I hadn't thought about it this way. I assume marijuana dispensaries/businesses are one of the examples you're referencing?

Do you have a waitlist? I want to sign up

I know the answer will be no, but is there any similar way to accomplish this on iPhone without jailbreak?

I’ve been searching for this post for what seems like years, but I’m sure is just a couple of months! I remember reading this oh so long ago, thank you for submitting it here.
