  • Parenting is harder than ever, so I don’t blame parents.

    Back in the day you would have the mother home all the time, even more recently there was still a strong community in most places and big families meant lots of babysitters.

    Nowadays it’s fend for yourself for everybody almost everywhere, so raising a kid properly is almost impossible unless you are rich or have a lot of free time.



  • I strongly disagree.

    Social media is terrible for mental health especially for the youth. Phones and tablets help in some areas like motor control development but also hurt other places like attention deficiencies and critical thinking, and very rarely does it lead to a kid learning how technology works (that’s usually from the computer nerds, aka kids who want a computer, doesn’t happen even close to the same rate as smart phones.

    Smart phones make people dumb. That’s my opinion. But the above are scientifically backed.






  • This story is insane to me, I dont know how these cops haven’t been arrested.

    They get called to a crime scene with the caller saying that a white man was being aggressive. They got there, asked the first white dude they saw what was going on, and then the white dude just pointed at a black dude and said the black guy stole his phone.

    Despite the call literally being about an aggressive white dude, these cops immediately chase after this black guy, pull up and start yelling at him, tackle him and then start punching him within like 10 seconds of getting out of their truck.

    Did not confirm any suspicions, didn’t even talk to the black guy for one moment, and then afterwards they blow off his wife and never seem to think “jeez it’s weird this guy who just stole a phone is using it to FaceTime someone while leisurely walking down the street”.

    This is so bad it has to be intentional malice. I just don’t understand how a country can call itself land of the free and then have police do shit like this with no consequences.

    The man was literally deaf, any normal sane person would have figured that out quickly.





  • Absolutely agree, that’s why when I saw the patch notes for this latest Microsoft update I was like “They don’t mention why this is dangerous other than Linux can be used by the haxors”. It definitely just sounded like a way to crunch down on Linux use.

    And like you said, I already allow Microsoft and riot and probably others I’m not thinking of to just have complete access to my computer so it’s not like I have any privacy, for security I can always check out potential issues myself with my pen testing laptop, so there is literally no benefit and only a ton of downsides to upgrading. So why would I?

    This weekend the upgrading and updating ends for good, and I will get my dual boot Linux whether they like it or not.
