In the end it’s still down to you to put in the work. Even if you have a therapist to assign homework and give instructions.

True but most of the time I don’t have GPS enabled anyway lol

We just verbally check in and I’m totally fine with saying where I am. I believe the important thing here is trust. If, hypothetically, we were able to set up something privacy-respecting that communicated my GPS location to my parents 24/7, I wouldn’t be a fan of it. It’d feel like my parents are monitoring me because they don’t trust me to be truthful about my whereabouts.

I’m 18 and fine with my parents knowing where I am so we can coordinate mealtimes and stuff. I really don’t care for having a third party spy on me 24/7 though. We just Signal each other “I’m at xyz location, be back soon” and that’s plenty enough.

I have braces right now and it’s very uncomfortable to have anything stuck in there, so I do take extra care of my oral health at the moment. Fortunately I’ll have free dental care for the foreseeable future, given that I’m going into uni and then healthcare (this is how it works where I live).

Agreed on lifelong learning, I want to (somewhat) be able to keep up with the world changing as I get older.

I turn 18 in around a month… I guess I’d tell him to take care of himself and keep working on being less anxious, though I doubt he’d actually do it.

:D

lol like pizza too

Instance name lemy.lol. lol thought would be funny.

Small instance.

I would but my first gen iPad Air is too old for that, I think

I’m studying to be a doctor specifically to avoid working for hugely unethical corporations. Even if I end up in the private sector (public healthcare is mostly free here), it’ll be easier to justify saving lives vs. working for a defense contractor.

All the time. At this point I’m waiting to replace my second hand iPad with an Android tablet so I can achieve a truly optimal YT experience.

I’ll be sure to start doing that.
