I'll be away most of the rest of the day, but I'll sadly add "save the carrots for the deer"* later. *This was a reply to a long-ago political post about the virtues of the carrot vs the stick in setting policy.

First - Sorry to bump this after months. I'm not adding anyone new. Though it might be just as sad. Don't think I can be the "appointed person", but I've taken a loving shot at the first pass for such a list. From posts in this thread and an earlier effort from @comfortably numb I gathered...

I thought about this a bit, but I was just a bit too young (8) to grasp what was happening and there was no one angry around me to help.

My new favorite Oriole, Jonathan Heasley made his O's debut last night against his former team. I had the pleasure to sit next to him on the delayed plane as he desperately tried to rush home from Sarasota to Frisco (I think) Texas for the birth of Georgia Jayne (I think). The only...

I find it funny that you highlight what is by any reasonable definition a political discussion.

Still trying to answer my own question of how Sports Books effectively have this solved. An editorial on the topic https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/editorial-underage-online-sports-betting-can-be-contained/ar-AA1kQ5SS Seems to be mostly location services, multiple devices, and (in some...

First I agree with most of your larger points here. That the technology isn't really that hard, but the willingness is a hurdle. And part of that willingness hurdles is just the nuisance factor, and part of the willingness are the real fears of giving up privacy and the threats to one identity...

Is XBOX social media? I'm not much of an expert, but if I'd extrapolate my limited exposure to teens and preteens this is where I think kids are at night.

I think that this is a better claim. When kids are forced to leave social media behind they quick get over it and arguably do better things with their time.

I don't know if I disagree you. In part because I don't know how many kids could imagine not having social media to be on board. But my point is that a quote or two or ten of what one would do cannot be extrapolated to represent the views of a population. This is a completely different claim...

How? You're just asserting it is a fact, not demonstrating it as so. If this site is accurate Then I don't think anything is solved. The next step might be some help... ...but only some and not really applicable to social media. For it to be "solved" there has to be more, what is it?

I don't think that the quote can be used to exprolate such a conclusion.

As posted in the other thread I don't use sports book sites so I'm ignorant of the steps involved in making a bet. Knowledge of that could push me into agreement or push me more towards my intuitive idea that this this more than the masses will be willing to endure to access social media. (I'm...
