  • This is a problem even without this. The account owner can get lists of all outbound calls of their victim’s line if they share a plan.

    The fcc requires some remediation if a domestic abuse order is submitted but obviously that’s at the far end of the abuse cycle.

    The issue here can be traced all the way to phone companies pushing the very concept of family plans because it makes churn more difficult.

    An abuser can shut off their victim’s phone line on a whim with convenient online interfaces.

    Phone companies don’t treat their customers will respect because their is no requirement. No one of adult age should be subjected to any of these controls simply because someone else pays.

    The health industry has rules around this. The moment a child hits 18, their claims disappear and the parent loses access to medical records.

    There is absolutely no reason phones should not have the same restrictions but the industry lacks the will and will until the fcc or other three letter agency forces the issue.




  • Parents are humans with their own flaws and backstories. They’ve had (presumably) 20 years of the worlds bullshit flung at them before you entered the picture.

    This sort of sentiment is fine to say parent to parent but parent to child it is a massive cop out.

    “I had to put up with this bullshit, so you do to” is terrible parent.

    It’s not acceptable for a parent to forward the world’s bullshit onto their child.








  • Drop of water depends on where the water is. Watch online videos to diagnose problems, it’s the opposite of doing this for personal health. People have some crazy cheap ways to address issues.

    Crack, draw a line parallel to the crack on each side. Measure it and it on the wall. Check back and see if the measurement is changing. Patch it if it’s stable. If it’s not stable, probably not good news, start with videos of what others have done.

    Ants are the easiest. There are barrier sprays that will keep out any insects. Fall instructions on the product but typically just spray it on the outside of the foundation once a year.

    Houses are over engineers to stay standing up so don’t worry too much. The expensive stuff will come around ever couple decades like roof replacement so plan for that but most everything can be remediated with little effort, especially if you don’t care how it looks. You said it’s a fixer up, each patch is just another layer to its character.
