But I guess whoever bullied you was another kid doing it over and over? Not a teache that made you cry during a school trip one day.

Also this is against a former teacher, maybe he was a terrible kid and the teacher got mad at him for a reason.

Thank god in the Netherlands we are not and we did not elect a far right party as the biggest party, oh wait...

I hostely fear for the next 5 years, with far right (and anti science, anti woke, anti freedom, anti any progressive idea people had after 1950s) gaining more traction.

I was too young to really buy software but the most expensive game I bought as a kid was 40 guilders. If use and inflation correction calculator and convert to euros that game in 1995 would be 36 euros in todays money, about 40 dollars. This was a gameboy game.

A pc game back then was between 50 and 60 dollars (converted with inflation).

But this was all in a physical store, where you would get an actual box, book, cartridge or disc, etc.

No, but I also don't expect that as a user. It is also fine if the developer makes version 2.0 and I can decide to buy the new version or not. Before the internet this was pretty much how it worked, a new version came on a new floppy or disc you'd buy in a store.

Maybe for the short term, but there is software you use every day, for years. Some android apps I have been using since 2014.

No you're thinking of luchables, fungible is when you catch a Gible and he's loads of fun. Keep looking in the grassy areas.

Pro Rights would be better, it should not be just a choice it should be a human right.

We should make taking an "introday" a thing. Wanna hang? Nah, I'm taking an introday. Cool, sometimes that's needed.

I first thought you wrote boolean float, not sure if that's even worse.

I have a different theory.

When you buy a desktop or laptop 99.9% of them will come with Windows preinstalled. Unless you get an Apple product, but than its 100% macOS.

So everyone running Linux has chosen to not go for the easy option, but spend some time and effort to install something they prefer.

So that immediately is a filter, where people that just go for the default easy option are filtered out.

So it makes total sense the Linux community has more people that are not afraid to choose a path they perfer instead of just doing what everyone else does, because doing something else is harder and for many people scary.

My experience (and this is purely anecdotal) is that the hacker/cybersecuruty community is also like this and has a lot of trans people compared to the total population.

In the last six months a lot changed, we moved to a new house, my wife had a baby (girl) and my son turned 4 and started school.

I'm not really sure if this is the reason but for the last month or so, my son has more and more temper tantrums. Basically any time we tell him no, he gets very frustrated and angry. Sometimes shouting or pushing me. It's pretty new behavior and I really don't like it. I have talked to him after the tantrums and he usually agrees he shouldn't behave like this, but so far it keeps coming back. One other thing he does is just ignoring us whenever we ask him something he doesn't want to do, pretending he can't hear us.

The last thing I want to do is be angry or use threads (like I'm counting to 3). But sometimes it's the only way to get him to do something (like getting dressed for school).

I would really want to have a better way to communicate without the negativity.

 

For years I was on Reddit and the last few years as a new dad I really liked daddit, it was a very nice community of dads that would share advice and help each other. It's the only part of Reddit I miss and never found a substitute for.

So I hope dadvice can grow into a community like that.

Please share your stories, dad jokes, ask for help, etc.

 
 

They all seem to have pro's and con's, not really sure why I have such a hard time choosing
