I think a lot of resistance to this is most people want their kids to be comfortable, and it’s a lot harder to make sure that everyone is comfortable than just making sure what you have can be transformed into keeping your kids in a good spot.
None of that means there shouldn’t be an equal process, just that there isn’t one at present. I think you both are completely correct, the challenge is how do we reach a society that can hold someone accountable, no matter what their wealth level? Alternatively, how do we prevent someone from becoming so wealthy they suborn society?
I think relative harm factors in too. Decimating someone’s resources when they’re likely to struggle to feed themselves next month? Or course that’s reprehensible. Taking a tiny portion from someone who won’t even notice, especially when you’ll probably get a lot more out of it? Now you’re practically Robin Hood
When we’re driving, my wife often acts as a navigatrix
Not to mention how many posts are made to get you to react viscerally, instead of engage with the community - things like AITA seem especially prone to this.
Quietly swapping your earlier edition with the current edition was not, however.
Carbon footprint - AI burns a lot more power than old fashioned search results.
I get wanting to cost them more, but I don’t think they’ll see this use case as a cost.
I prefer to think of Chase as what a cop should be. As a strong contrast to the cops the kids will later become familiar with; so they can understand that we could do better.
At least, that’s how I felt before he got all the spy gear…
Instead of “No worries!” he heard "No, worries!*
Do you really not know who your family likely voted for, or your roommates? People like this don’t need a registered ballot result to make an inference that lets them act violently; unless he’d had the foresight to play at being a Trump convert months ago, I think this story is extremely credible.
I don’t think it’s bullying, because bullying involves tormenting them - finding what they react negatively to, and pushing on that. Here, you’re letting them know that there’s something you need them to do before you’re comfortable playing with them. You might think of it as modelling how to protect your own bodily autonomy!
For me, when my kids were going through that, I’d say something like “Ack! Don’t touch me with poo hands! Go wash first, then you can climb on me!” It’d generally get a giggle, then they’d go finish washing up. You’ll want to pay attention to their reaction whatever you do, but if you make it clear they’re still welcome to play, I don’t see how it could be bullying.
so many fuckin Worfs
…so it’s a party van!
Dead? Really? Cuz Portal and Minecraft are my kids’ top two games!
Mine has been docked for months at a time. I recently started shifting it to be near the kids when they’re home; but not undocking it wouldn’t strike me as strange at all.
And if you’ve been letting Steam store your save data, you should find that your save files for most games will still be available in Linux! Mileage will vary per game of course, but jumping between OSes has been pretty seamless for me!
True! I’ve been too focused on our local politics lately!
Well, until the President decides otherwise, anyway.
And my toddlers both just turned it back around!
My SteamVR games run poorly on Linux. They do run, but it’s a much rougher experience than running them through Windows.
It’s frustrating, because otherwise Linux is my primary gaming system!
Still glad you’re doing it now!
