Don't trust technology. I had to argue with spell correct to spell Ponce as it would change it to pounce.

Hey he's up.

Don't trust technology. I had to argue with spell correct to spell Ponce as it would change it to pounce.

I've noticed that my iPhone is very reluctant to change capitalized words, either correct to incorrect or incorrect to correct, with four exceptions:

1. It's the first word of a sentence rather than a proper noun. And it's semi-reluctant in this case rather than normal.
2. The word you're trying to type appears earlier on the page, and you're mistyping it. (This one is typically beneficial.)
3. It's close enough to a capitalized word you type quite often.
4. It's a word that just happens to be capitalized but can be found in the dictionary, such as September or Wednesday.

Ooh, incriminating yourself. Good one.

Hey he's up.

He should go back to bed. I might do so, tbh.

[roadman65]

I guess he gets an allowance from his kin hence his travel expenses for going around driving.

[Flint1979]

I feel better when I'm driving sometimes.

Its not illegal to use your phone at an intersection when stopped. No cop even in NY would "pull you over" for that.

I don't trust that you stop writing when the light turns green.

[MultiMillionMiler]

Yes I do, I don't even think I've gotten honked at a result of typing. Maybe from being distracted by other things but not the forum. Hence, taking 10+ red lights per post.

If it was an especially mean cop, they are allowed to ticket you for that and assess points; there is no clause for stopping at an intersection in the law as given by the New York Department of Motor Vehicles! It's actually considered a common misconception that you're allowed to use your phone at an intersection while stopped; in New York State, you can't even use a phone while driving unless it's a hands free device.

Also fun fact, while going on this rabbit hole, I learned that Montana has no restrictions on cell phone use while driving. None.

[MultiMillionMiler]

Who said I don't use it hands free? Ever heard of a phone holder? You are required to stop at red lights SMH

Young kids and adolescents these days are the worst victims of ageism, social discrimination, and unfair lack of opportunities. What people fail to understand is that children are helpless. If a 3 year old is denied medical care because their parents are nutcases that don't believe in it, the kid is helpless and has no choice but to suffer. Stranding a 23 year old because you think they shouldn't be able to rent a car or causing a domestic violence victim to have nowhere to say because they are only 17/18 is actually harming them directly. All the other BS the media whines about is just for hurt feelings, whereas the things above are actually despicable and cause direct suffering. I'd argue ageism against both younger AND elderly people is the most violent, horrid, unconstitutional, baseless, disgusting, evil, unfounded, hateful form of bias possible.

Oh woe is me.

I might have to do some work to get to do what I want.

[MultiMillionMiler]

One shouldnt have to do extra work an average person doesn't have to because of their age. That's not bad luck or a bad life circumstance, that is discrimination, plain and simple. People thinking I'm just ranting about the hotel's, when in fact 99% of basic independent things in life require you to be 18, which essentially makes you a prisoner in your own hoke until you are that magic age.

1. Can't even decide to live alone even if you have the resources to do so, your parents could call the cops and have you arrested/forcibly returned for running away

2. Can't seek medical care unless your parents agree. (Now alot of states make exceptions for contraception related stuff, but that is purely political and they don't give a damn about the kids rights)

3. Can't sue for violation of your rights unless an adult represents you and/or your parents agree.

4. Can't REFUSE invasive/experimental/unwanted medical care if you are under 18 (that Cassandra girl forced to have chemotherapy because she was 17)

5. Can't access or open a bank account for your own money until 21 even though you can make said money as early as 14.

6. Can't travel unrestricted in some states

7. Can't obtain your own prescription medications unless your parents/guardians sign off. M

8. Exceptions for assault laws are made in the name of "discipline".

Essentially you are property, a prisoner, less of a person in every aspect of life, which is disgusting and the definition of humans rights violations. And I don't care how good the conditions of your home life are, a prison is still a prison. All of the above wouldn't be acceptable against any other class of people for ANY reason, except younger people. Even death row prisoners have more guaranteed rights.

[TheHighwayMan3561]

Man, I hated being a kid too especially feeling like a target for miserable adults looking to do all the awful things they couldn't/wouldn't do to other adults, but I never felt like a prisoner.

[MultiMillionMiler]

Prisoner isn't a good analogy, because you have more rights in prison, to medical care, lawyers, freedom from cruel and unusual punishment..etc

[Max Rockatansky]

Bank account no earlier being 21?  Is that a thing in some states?

Do you have parent issues?

You should be able to use your money how you like the second you start earning it, end of story, even an age limit of 18, or 16 is unreasonable if the working age is 14. With the exception of large scale gambling, a 14 year old should even be allowed to buy lottery tickets.

Okay sure, but where are you prohibited from establishing your own bank account when you're 18?  I walked right into BofA when I turned 18 and opened up a checking account for myself.

Do you have parent issues?

No, my parents are my friends and never once treated me like less of a person. That's another reason why it's so surprising how many people claim their parents aren't like that. My parents agree with me on most of these issues. It is flaming hypocrisy, and they realized even before I did how appalling it is to trivialize children's rights, but for people to obsess over every word, movie, logo, or brand of pancake syrup that's deemed "offensive". Society has its priorities totally screwed up and it does not have to be that way. People are choosing not to be reasonable, its not just a "life aint fair" thing. Dropping your phone in a sewer, spilling something on your computer, running out of gas faster than you thought, some guy being a random dickhead and cursing you out for bumping into him on the street, thats where the "life aint fair" thing applies. If anything, they strengthened my views, not "caused" them.

Again with the 18 crap, if you can work at 14, you should be able to access your own money at 14

Please explain your statement then, you said 21 and not 18:

5. Can't access or open a bank account for your own money until 21 even though you can make said money as early as 14.

[MultiMillionMiler]

Custodial bank accounts are all 21 by default, and not all standard bank accounts are openable at 18. One of those things that varies by states.

[Max Rockatansky]

Okay, that's what I was trying to clarify.  Which states are you referring?
