If kids can’t socialize, who should parents blame? Simple: They should blame themselves. This is the argument advanced in It’s Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens, by Microsoft researcher Danah Boyd. Boyd—full disclosure, a friend of mine—has spent a decade interviewing hundreds of teens about their online lives. What she has found, over and over, is that teenagers would love to socialize face-to-face with their friends. But adult society won’t let them. “Teens aren’t addicted to social media. They’re addicted to each other,” Boyd says. “They’re not allowed to hang out the way you and I did, so they’ve moved it online.” It’s true. As a teenager in the early ’80s I could roam pretty widely with my friends, as long as we were back by dark. But over the next three decades, the media began delivering a metronomic diet of horrifying but rare child-abduction stories, and parents shortened the leash on their kids. Politicians warned of incipient waves of youth wilding and superpredators (neither of which emerged). Municipalities crafted anti-loitering laws and curfews to keep young people from congregating alone. New neighborhoods had fewer public spaces. Crime rates plummeted, but moral panic soared. Meanwhile, increased competition to get into college meant well-off parents began heavily scheduling their kids’ after-school lives. The result, Boyd discovered, is that today’s teens have neither the time nor the freedom to hang out. So their avid migration to social media is a rational response to a crazy situation. They’d rather socialize F2F, so long as it’s unstructured and away from grown-ups. “I don’t care where,” one told Boyd wistfully, “just not home.

An Open Letter to Reality Number Three

by reddit user Cymoril_Melnibone

Everything was perfect

My parents had a happy, stable marriage, and I was planned almost down to the day of my arrival. My mother wanted to have her baby in June, so that the joys of birthdays and Christmas would be spread evenly through the year. She was always thinking about what would be best for me.

Disney didn’t kill the EU.
The EU hasn’t died unless you and everyone else let it die.
Lucasfilm made the decision to create new stories.

Get to know these facts.

other video game companies can fuck up but no video game company can fuck up as bad as konami. imagine being known as the company that fired their most valuable asset and cancelled one of the most anticipated horror games of all time….. think about that when other game companies fuck up. honestly think about that when YOU fuck up. at least u didn’t cancel silent hills. you can’t be all that bad

consider that Polytron cancelled Fez 2 because someone was mean to Phil Fish on Twitter

an LGBTQ coffee shop called lesBean

YOU DO NOT FIGHT DISCRIMINATION WITH MORE DISCRIMINATION WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU HATEFUL PEOPLE

“haha it would be funny if there was an lgbt coffee shop called lesBean, get it, because coffee is made of beans and lesbians are made of gay,” said the blogger, as a joke

“DISCRIMINATION,” cry the hoards of contrary tumblr users, eager to express their violent disagreement with this harmless pun. everyone who’s ever been to a gay bar, pride event, or lgbtq organization frowns in confusion; it’s not like they prohibit straight people from entering. anyone can go to these places, they are just lgbtq-centric.

“DISCRIMINATION AT ITS FINEST, THIS IS PURE HATRED,” cry the masses, who have no idea what the word ‘discrimination’ means. roughly five million bees are stuffed inside their assholes. tragic.
