No nrn, I'm talking when I was younger, like until HS

They had this dumbass "minutes" token thing

>daily piano practice = +15 minutes
>daily Chinese HW = +20 minutes
>fold clothes = +20 minutes
>misc good chores (e.g. lawnmowing) = +minutes on a case-by-case basis
>use family laptops w/o permission when left unlocked = -5 minutes, or more depending on severity
>swearing = -10 minutes, or more depending on severity
>sperging out = -all minutes, and further punishment (e.g. grounding) depending on severity

Ended up figuring all kinds of tips and tricks
>disabling auto lock when the iPad case was closed / inactive to stealthily continue using it at night
>using Siri on my iPad to go "Bing images hot women" or whatever, even when it was locked
>browsing the internet on the TV since the TV wasn't locked
>taking advantage of the fact that "family vacations = free iPad time"

Eventually was able to abuse the very sped shit my parents had imposed on me by bargaining an additional "have a good day at school w/o sperging out = +20 minutes"

Thankfully they pretty much abandoned the dumbass token shit once I got my phone in HS (though they could still ground me for screwing up, e.g. when sperging out during COVID). Eventually even got my own laptop for the 2020-21 school year since my school was recommending it
