Solid point. I was definitely assuming a StarTAC rather than an old Android phone that could be turned into a Home Assistant dashboard or digital photo frame.

If it's 3g-only, it won't get a network signal anymore. So mostly it's a novelty that can play badly written Java games.

The litter box thing gets even better - the root of it was a school that did indeed have litter boxes in every classroom, meant for human use. But it had nothing to do with Therian kids identifying as cats. It was in response to the question "what if a kid needs to use the bathroom during an active shooter lockdown?"

Let's take the pronouns out of it. Suppose you have a child named Elizabeth who wants to be called "Beth". This child tells the teacher "please don't tell my parents that I'm going by Beth; they'll beat me if you do". In a rational world, the teacher would be able to report this as the child abuse it is. But imagine this teacher lives in a city/state/country where the judicial system refuses to prosecute nickname-related beatings as child abuse.

What is the morally correct action for this teacher to take?

Most public health programs have some available to give away, but commercially they're rare because few people want to pay over a dollar per condom for them.

What makes them nice is you can safely put one in hours before sex happens. Add some silicone lube (which they don't have a problem with), wear a loose skirt, and you have a perfect setup for spontaneous sex in a risky location.

This concept is why I have a deep respect for DuckDuckGo as a company. When interviewing there for a SRE position, the round 2 and 3 interviews included coding challenges. They paid (IIRC) $75/hr based on the maximum time they wanted candidates to spend on each assignment. I ended up not getting the position, but they're the only company I made it to the final decision step with that I didn't feel was wasting my time.
