This is a question for the mothers (or parents really) on KF:
How do you monitor what your children do on the internet? I am mostly thinking about pornography, but also other things. Its clear to me that certain sides of the internet causes complete brainrot in people, and I want to protect them. I don't want my children to troon out, or think that choking in bed is normal, or be groomed by pedophiles, or any of all that depressing shit. My oldest children both has phones, as well as all their classmates.
My wife is not that concerned, so maybe I am overreacting. But she isn't a farmer either.
The other half isn't the internet type, I'm amazed he owns a mobile phone at all. I would be fine if our offspring were similar. It's probable for at least one of them, by the looks of things.
Realistically, they're all going to need to use the internet throughout their lives and there's no way to barricade them from the world, so I see my job as giving them the skills to manage themselves on this current day internet, or whatever newfangled tech comes out that we never could imagine.
I want them to be strong, self assured, self-aware, reliable and happy individuals, and so I suppose I aim to instill those values, and hope those values allow them to handle the pressures and temptations that may come their way.
Both of us are strongly against monitoring their lives, which may come back to bite us, I don't know. We probably give them much more independence and trust than their ages warrant, but I would rather they make mistakes now when the stakes are low and we can come and fix shit up where we need to, so they can practice doing dumb shit and see how the consequences feel, without permanently fucking up their lives.
I too want to protect them, but I see protection as methodically giving them the ability to protect themselves.
We also live in the middle of nowhere, and everyone has jobs to do on the homestead, so we rarely have time to dick around on the internet. At best, my internet use is a brief distraction from hangry farm animals, so whatever dark shit I see on the 'videos of people dying' thread is never more than .5% of my day. Ideally, any pornography or other unsavoury stuff my midgets see is similar, because I think the obsession is where the real problem is.
I really want them to be able to handle opposing views and awful things, because the adult world is full of it, and if they can't learn to say no and resist short-term highs, they'll live their whole lives on the back foot.
For pornography and women's rights is particular, they are being raised by a radfem mum, so chances are either they will absorb that mindset too, or (God help me) reject it entirely and become the next Andrew Tate.
That will be entirely in their hands, so I hope they make the choice that represents the good and intelligence and potential I see in each of them.
I am entering a majority female profession as a chud.
I have a girlfriend and I don't shit where I eat. Any words of wisdom on being an upstanding coworker?
Treat women like they are humans you don't want to fuck?
How is this a question to struggle with?
No one cares you have a girlfriend, it doesn't make you special, trustworthy, or safe. Moids don't need a date to be an arsehole, and having a wife and 14 kids won't even make him a decent man.
The ladies aren't after you, I promise.
How important is it that someone practices the same religion as you?
Not entirely important. I'm always more interested in knowing the worldview and underlying philosophy behind their religious views. If anything, I find greater camaraderie with someone from a different religion but who has the same viewpoints and priorities as me; there's something very special and uniting in that.
And would it matter if someone is a member of said religion as you but doesn't really follow it (but still believes in it)?
I fucking hate faggots who label themselves as <whatever religion> but don't follow it. They can fuck off with their dumb performative bullshit. No different to troons who call themselves women, thinking their preferred label somehow replaces reality. Wanting the credit without having to endure the effort and bullshit to get there is a sign of a shithead.
