  Really moronic take.

    Somebody doesn’t have a sense of humor it seems

      I think it’s funny.

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

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

        Black comedy/gallows humor is a thing.

        You don’t need to be so uptight. Nobody’s actually advocating for the murder of children here.

        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.

        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.

      Sure, normalizing paranoia is very funny and definitely doesn’t have any real world negative consequences. Har-de-har-har.

        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.

        Sounds like something the secret government cabal would say.
