if your kid doesn't want to do something, don't force it on them. I'm not talking about the things everyone needs to do like brushing ones teeth or getting an education. I mean, don't sign them up for a baseball team if they show no interest in baseball. Don't force them to hang out with the neighbor kids if they don't like the neighbor kids. Don't force them to wear their hair they way you think they should, etc.

let them make their own choices (within reason, ofc) and teach them that they have their own agency. if you do or don't want them to do a thing, explain why, have a dialogue ("no back talk" is bullshit, sometimes your kids have a good point an you're being an asshole) and listen to them.

Isn't that what he meant by "America First"?

yeah and this may be the way to go at this point. i was just excited to make a totally custom rig and use things like Gen 5 pcie nvme. but now I'll just not do that. fingers crossed the bubble pops and a bunch of these bullshit "ai" businesses stop existing

I appreciate the advice, but that's what I've got already. It works well, but I was hoping to make a significant upgrade and move away from spinning disks and such.

yes this is terrifying, actually.

so happy I built a new PC last year. so pissed I cant make a new server this year

so CIA guy escalates war on civilians when civilians weren't doing it for them.

TIL all the Civilization maps are on Saturn

yes thank you! 100% agree. I should not be the one having to shove my noise cancelling earphones in just so someone else can blast some 10 second instagram short that repeats over and over and over ad nauseam while they, I assume, scroll through mindless bot comments.

no lol, they're all unfit and that's the point.

awesome!

I'm curious as to how much profit is lost by M$ or Apple for each basis point of the market that switches to Linux.

instructions unclear. am on roof of local diner and cops are yelling at me now.
