  • I know a couple that didn't have kids. When they got older they told me that the massive amount of money they had was meaningless to them and regrets not having kids.

    One became a CEO for a pretty large Taiwanese company but at night he worked as a professor in a nearby college . The wife did something similar. A high profile lawyer by day, a professor at night.

    They eventually ended up "adopting" young adult as their daughter they both met in school that was putting herself through school.

  • Terrible parents do terrible things. If you ever become a parent, you now know what not to do.

  • I never said it's not ok to be selfish. It's perfectly ok to care about yourself. Because that's is the only mouth you have to feed. Once it becomes 2, you have to let go of that feeling of a fair life. It's not fair.

  • My taxes pay for your fire department and police services and road you drive on. I never had a house fire once.

    You live if a society. Our collective taxes go to these services for a better today and a better tomorrow.

  • Im not jesus. I don't demand nothing from you. You do you.

  • Sure

  • Real talk. We appreciate you helping watching and playing with our kids. It's enrichment for our kids and they are growing to enjoy the company. But this is NOT the purposeful and content part of parenting.

    My son was being bullied at school and didn't know how to speak out for himself or even tell the teacher it was happening. My wife and I have been helping him vocalize and visualize how to express his discontent in a healthy way and also have the ability to report it to the teacher.

    After months of this last week my son reported it to the teacher for the first time this year. I was so proud of him for speaking up to his bully and telling a teacher.

    This is just a small thing that fills me with purpose and content. Everything we do together and watching him become a better person than me is what keeps me going.

  • There is no "Fair" when you become a parent.

    Parents who hate parenting misses their old selfish lives. Being a (good) parent means you no longer can be selfish and your life is no longer about you.

    That might seem grim, but what you get in return is a little human that looks up at you. That holds your hands because you are their world to them.

    Let go of your selfish lives and learn to enjoy your new selfless life.

  • Oh finally! I wanted a new launcher installed and have all ads removed. Now I can finally do it! Thanks for the news!!

  • Bu Zi Dao? That is hardly programmatic.

    Mandarin for "that"is much more problematic. It's "neiga". And we typically say it multiple times. So imagine someone pointing at someone and says "neiga neiga"

  • Not sure about this question, but the Taiwan lies question definitely is hardcoded in.

  • What if you forget to sudo? How about if you don't have apt get or the command is apt-get and it fails?

    Or some supporting file is missing. So many things go wrong.

  • I'm currently on my Fold 5. Started from Fold 2, 4 and then 5. My wife who is currently on 6.

    In between I have used Pixels and iPhones.

    The Fold is a productively monster. I can have up to 4 screens running simultaneously.

    I can be on a zoom call and work on the slide the slide or PowerPoint at the same time. I can plug it into a monitor and a mouse and keyboard.

    There is a price to pay for this innovation. It is constantly breaking. So I pay for the insurance. It's totally worth it.

  • I REALLY want it to be my primary OS. First, I couldn't get my GTX 3070ti to load correctly. Then I wanted the ability to have my browser windows to do a 50/50 split on my widescreen monitor. This isn't native. I spent time on stupid flatpaks and stupid terminals and endless forums and chatgpt and finally gave up.

    The UX design is bad.

  • Really? First time I did it, it kept giving me an error. Did it a few times and couldn't figure it out. Then I asked the community and the community laughed at me for not knowing sudo. WTF is sudo?!?!

    OK fine. I got it working. Wait, why doesn't it auto update? Why do I need to constantly remind myself to update the software.... in terminal??!?

    I'm not even a normie. But the toxic elitist community and the terminal requirement is just a dead end for most people.

  • Install Mint. After the updates I tried to install Tailscale. Then proceed to uninstall Linux because I have install using terminal.

    The second I am forced to use terminal, I'm uninstalling.

  • That's awesome! I didn't know.

  • I have done this in Beam Ng Drive.

  • Lol, I think they ask you if you want to. You be surprised how many people actually take them up for it.
