I can't even find showings in my state.

It's not necessary. Unlike on Windows, Linux users rarely download random packages off the internet. We just use package managers.

The software itself may or may not be more secure, but acquiring software is absolutely more secure. There's so much Windows malware people unwittingly download from the internet. Downloading from a distro's software repository simply doesn't have that problem.

I just... Go to sleep. No noise needed.

It's actually gotten worse since then even. Sarpy county is now part of the district. They even used the new map (which of course favors Republicans) in the 2022 special election in violation of congressional rules: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Nebraska%27s_1st_congressional_district_special_election.

But since when have Republicans ever cared about rules?

Let's give it a shot. I live in the suburbs of Lincoln, Nebraska, which is an average-sized college town in the US (about 300k residents):

  • Nearest convenience store: 1.1 miles/1.7km (we often do walk there, takes about 20 minutes)
  • Nearest chain supermarket/big supermarket (they are often one in the same here): Target @ 1.5 miles/2.4km
  • Bus stop: 1.3 miles/2.1km
  • Nearest park: 0.6 miles/965m
  • Nearest public library: 3.5 miles/5.6km
  • Nearest train station: 9.1 miles/14.6km (we don't really use trains much at all in the US, though)

This is just taking a very antagonistic view towards kids. Manipulation is learned behavior and says much more about the parent than the child.

But honestly, it's besides the point. This point is that it's wrong to force kids to eat food barring medical situations.

I do have a kid. We give our son a variety of foods and let him decide what he wants to eat. He eats a lot of different kinds of foods (big fan of Indian food atm), and the foods he wants to eat change from one day to the next. Treats are reserved for special occasions, mostly because those in particular can have a pretty significant impact on brain chemistry.

Forcing kids to eat is very well known to be a very bad idea.

I'd say the odds of kids doing that are pretty slim, they usually aren't that strategic when it comes to food. But even if it were the case, it's still no reason to control kids' food intake during mealtime. That's just abusive and is going to give them issues with food.

Kids are generally actually quite good at regulating their food intake naturally in ways that parents often don't understand. Adults tend to think in terms of roughly balanced meals for every meal, but kids often tend to favor one particular food at a time, achieving balance of nutrition over the course of the week. Especially when they're younger, it's often very chaotic what kids want to eat at a given time. They might love something one day and hate it the next. Their taste and palate are still developing, and it's a parent's job to be flexible rather than a child's job to follow arbitrary food rules.
