Correct. Largely genetic to the point there are specific genes that are link to it.
The early drinking part is likely because they are being raised by alcoholics so access to easy and possibly encouraged.
Claiming early drinking alone is responsible for alcoholism is about as meaningful as blaming early marijuana use to drug addiction.
The path to the destination may leads through certain steps but does not require those steps. There is a reason many children of addicts choose absolute abstention.
You don't have children and have no plans so let me let you in on a little parenting secret:
Never tell other people how to parent their children.
I'm not gong to bother touching the idea you've got in your head that social media is an addictive substance but tv and movies are not not the idea that tech withdrawal is anything like drug withdrawal.
I'm guessing you don't have children.
Underaged drinking is nothing like having an account that lets them use the full set of features.
Laws around social media do not allow parental discretion. Do you think allowing a 13 to watch R movies is bad parenting or should that be left up to the parent to decide?
Would you blame movies for teen pregnancy?
Do you blame video games for violence?
The unfortunate reality is your alcoholic friend was likely to become one either the way.
There is research around this that suggests more than half of all children have profiles with an 18+ age.
I recall the most common is to bump their age by 10 years, keeping the month and day the same. Also, many of these are setup with the guidance of a parent.
Correct. Learning a programming language is trivial. Far easier than a foreign language.
If we think of it in terms of learning a language, what matters is the grammar and ability to use it to struct prose to create a coherent story.
There's also a lot of reuse which requires knowing what's available. The closest analogy there is how music sampling is used.
Ketamine, admittedly.
I get what you mean, I critize your parental figures's ability to raise children.
Did they vote for Trump? Because if so, womp womp. Don't fucking care.
Otherwise, I wish them the best!
This is one of the last major things on their list of changes that they haven't forced through the system yet.
I hope it hurts the right people. I don't use any of that stuff and the people I know who do all vote consistently right.
Two years until there is any chance of shifting the balance. I hope these wake up but I have serious doubts that will happen. I am very confident the right wing media will convince them it's the left's fault.
I don't know how they'll do it but they've honed the propaganda skills necessary to make it happen.
Or just don't buy shit you don't need.
