    My kid’s been walking to/from school and roaming the neighborhood since he was 7. Apple Watch FTW. It has its legit uses.

      “I’m going to strap a $700 watch to this $15K bag of organs, as a tip”

            You’re joking, obtusely, about abduction and murder of children. You expect people to be amused?

              I get it. I’d bet the other commenters don’t have kids. There’s hypothetical jokes about kids, then there’s jokes to someone about their actual kid. Commenting on a post VS replying to this person who has a kid.

              I grew up with a very paranoid father. Somehow this guy has a stack of rough city survival stories but I couldn’t leave the suburban block. I don’t know the best way to raise a kid, but a watch and more freedom to roam sounds nice.

                I have a kid. She turns 18 in September. I thought it was funny.

                I also still make jokes about my mom, and she is now sitting on top of a shelf at Dad’s house as of a few months ago.

              This is the internet. Some people will. Probably a lot. Do you expect everybody to have your exact same sensibles and kind of humor?

                It’s a technology sub and I’ve been around long enough to know this is where the morons of the internet hang out but not everyone is as aware of the pattern.

              Yes. Get used to it, we live in hell, black comedy is just about all we have left to bring some levity to the situation.

              If the neighborhood is safe for a 7 year old without an Apple watch, go ahead. If it’s but the case and they think the watch will make a difference… That’s negligence.
