We all know this yet the ones with kids who need to do something about it don't, as a result kids are getting dumber by the year.
TV had a limited capacity to mess kids up and it largely didn't. Youtube and the internet on then other hand are in the vast majority of kids pockets with 0 restrictions.
Reading the first hand reports of what this looks like from /r/teachers will black pill you on the future quicker than any post on climate change or war.
I was a jean sleeper up till my early 20s. Not sure why, it just felt right.
Now I can sleep in gym shorts or jeans but prefer shorts. Anything less than shorts and REM sleep doesn't happen for me, my body doesn't like having it's guard down that much I guess.
Yeah storage is cheap but I last reformated my boot drive in 2017 so my root partition is 20GB and now I have no room for Flatpak. Now I could just resize it but wheres the fun in that.
TL:DR "A 20GB root partition ought to be enough for anybody."
It's an impressive FOSS project, scracthes the fast paced Quake itch but not a lot of people have that these days.
Shout out to the crew who played on the HOCTF server. Had well over a 1000 hours on there.
Newer monitors are also good options. Usually they have enough HDCP compliant ports these days and none of the bullshit.
Pair with a sound bar or surround sound system and you got a great setup.
How can this be a legally enforceable contract?!
I'd like to think it can't be but it's the US so who knows.
Changing the terms after buying the device and in a way that your kid could accept them by hitting ok on the remote is bonkers.
I'm definitely doing it. Worth the cost of a stamp.
I don't even have a Roku TV just an Ultra hooked up to a monitor so not a lot to lose but it's the principal of the thing.
This was talked about briefly in October but it's still flying under the radar imo. The Oct 7th attack took place on these very left leaning pacifist communties who believed in peace and liked to work with the Palestinians and their cause, more than most Israelis.
Many of the kibbutzniks who experienced October 7 can't bear to hear Arabic and want to see Gaza erased.
The trauma is stronger than their worldview
I was wondering if it might push those with that pacifist/hippy outlook on life to change and it appears it has.
When even the hippies are yearning for scorched earth tactics it doesn't bode well for winding down of military operations anytime soon. It also makes me think we're far more likely to see more serious military action roll into Lebanon within a few months.
TL:DR RIP peace. We never knew ye.
You love to see it. Russia really can't sustain these Su-34 loses at this rate.
Like, why dont people who can just move?
Kind of a catch-22.
America is the best country in the world, if you're rich. Once someones earning a lot and saved up move to New Zealand money the appeal isn't as strong for most.
immediately go for northern europe
Oof. That's akin to moving there in 1938. Bit of a risky proposition to say the least.
I wouldn't move there now if allowed and I don't even have illegally move to Mexico money.
And you get crucified by them if you bring it up.
I understand battling the pull of phones and tablets with kids is hard but you're lying to your self if you think it's going to work out ok if you give in, every other kid has one how bad could it go really?
