If one person he is insanely focused on made a joke about him breathing too much, and they saw people laughing at it, he would. Instantly without second thought, because he never had a first thought.

Can’t wait until he just dies from his own incompetence.

“Hey can you help me finish dinner? Make sure the table is set up. Maybe grade some cheese.” Done.

“Dinner is ready! I didn’t mean it was ready-ready, I just used the wrong set of words to explain my desires and needs. Why are you upset that I’m not using the words in the language I thought you? Never mind, I clearly didn’t need any help according to you.”

If you’re adult, talk like one. If you’re a parent, communicate and act like one.

Sure a 5 year old doesn’t have the vocabulary and mental fortitude to understand or explain the concept.

But if you have a child, you raise them for 5 years, I assume you care about them. You can explain “Can you help mommy set the table?” or “Can you pass daddy the plates?”

You don’t need to explain the process of your work and the commute and other things. But if you just explained things to your children, they’ll understand. When my parents did, I got to understood the task and why they wanted it. When my mother or my boss barked orders without any understanding why or how, I was left more confused.

And trust me, I worked retail, most people are fine, some people are real pieces of work. I still have some horror stories of customers, some frequent, some once or twice. But what got me out of every single one, was talking it out. From a dude who had literally half of his skull and brain missing, to my co-workers, to the average customer I forgot by the end of my shift.

Hyperbole is a thing.

One hit of MDMA and Cannabis and you’re fine. One dose of opioids and you’re hooked for life, giving companies money and willing to pay for it over rent, food, your hobbies, your interests, and willing to stay with it over your friends and family.

Which one is legal?

MDMA didn’t have a lobbyist group in its favor, otherwise we’d probably be all aware of the reality of effects like Oxycontin.

It’s not inherently bad, it “fails” the Unix Philosophy of “Do one thing and do it well” but since Linux’s kernel is:

• Unix-like, not Unix
• Fails this philosophy, as it does more than one thing but does all of it pretty well
• systemd is just a bundle of tools that do one thing and do it well under one package, like Linux’s kernel

It used to be a mess, but that’s solved. The biggest reason to avoid systemd is mainly user preference, not anything malicious. 90% of current distros use systemd as its easier for the maintainers and package programmers to build for the general than each package and each distro having their own methods of how to do an init system and other tasks.

How Debian and Arch and Gentoo and Slackware and other big distros worked was different, and the maintainers of those packages had to know “Debian’s way” and not a general way that most places accept. Systemd actually solved the Too Many Standards! issue.

I’ve never really seen a big argument against systemd, but maybe I’ve just not heard it.

Hey I want y’all to know that I’m locking this, but:

I agree with OP. Burning Harry Potter books doesn’t hurt anyone. No one here would give a shit if it was burning a copy of some horrid book. And Harry Potter isn’t going to be out of print any time soon.

When Nazis did it, it was a complete removal of the only copies of a queer library in Germany. OP can’t do that to Harry Potter.

I’m only locking this to save the mod team and the admins the headache. I can only expect transphobia, ableism, and “but that nazis also burned books!!! youre as bad as the nazis!!!”.

lol

Hey everyone, just a reminder:

• Yes Nazis are also bad, we don’t have Nazis pop up anywhere near as often as Tankies
• We remove and ban Nazis too
• We’re aware of Lemmy’s main code writers being ML’s, and it’s not great.
• Please report any bigot bullshit, or fascist/tankie dogwhistles.

Please do not suggest people to use Manjaro.

Manjaro’s maintainers have repeatedly:

• Let SSL certs expire, asking end users to turn back their system clock until they fixed it.

• Told users to make partial updates which often causes packages to break, including mandatory rollbacks on critical packages such as systemd

• Held back packages for ~1-2 weeks to improve stablity, but does not do this for all packages, including the AUR, which causes dependency hell and breakage.

• Rolled out an edit to a AUR package that repeatedly sent requests to aur.archlinux.org which made the servers experience a DDOS attack, impacting all users.

I am not saying this to hate on Manjaro, but to inform OP and others. If they want a stable yet fresher distro, they should choose something more like Fedora or Ubuntu. If they want something rolling, Arch includes an installer in its iso that is really simple to understand.

Edit: I guess I hate Manjaro for pointing out they run their packages horribly. I’m such a bad guy for that. Woes Manjaro.
