Was there a couple of sailors on the front just before it collided putting a fender down? Surely it wouldn’t have had a chance of absorbing the impact of something like this? Looking at the images of the aftermath I can’t imagine it ended well for them.
I agree that it should primarily be a parents responsibility to keep kids off social media. But the big problem with social media is that a large proportion of young children don’t want to be on social media and recognise the detrimental impact it has on them, but the fear of missing out or being excluded is what keeps them on it. it then becomes a collective action problem, to get them off it you need to get a lot of their peers off it as well. There are movements where groups of parents try to do this, but reaching the critical mass necessary to do it is difficult.
Hopefully the ban keeps a large number off to reduce the pressure on kids to be on it and at the same time the parents can do their bit as well.
Is it possible to pinch off a pop at “snack size” like this suggests? I’m asking because I have this exact same problem with my children at home. I don’t know how they do it. But surely it’s not something they can choose to do or not? Is it?
