Yeah I guess you're right and that depends on the child and their parents themselves.

My parents weren't limiting my time in any way and that helped me to become software engineer actually so to me it turned out to be a good thing. If I did have my screen time limited I would totally spend it on computer.games and not CS. I'm sure about it because I spent a lot of time playing too haha

Oh, sorry, that sounds totally understandable - I wish my best to both you and her!

And don't see anything wrong with that either way - was just interested how common it is

// sry for offtop but

Is everyone is fine with parental control nowadays? It was for paranoid parents only in my childhood and I didn't know anyone with parental control really.

The worst thing to me and my friends was hidden power supply cable if you did something really wrong.

These became too expensive in my country too. Only buy it occasionally now once in 3 months. Prob they're doing a favor to my health :)

Why would you be so sure it's not intentional?

In my country insurances won't let you buy one that is necessary-to-drive by adding such "bugs" and impossible captchas for newbie drivers and motorcyclists. Works like a charm in a court - they just say it was a bug

Monitor the temp gauge in your car. Overheated my civic's engine when radiator leaked :( had no warnings until it's too late (2008 one). had to replace it, now always trying to have an eye on it

It's good actually that there's no global karma count: it means you won't have the reason to farm karma by reposting/posting bad quality content => more good OC in your feed
