Yea, but I’d imagine it’d be hard to even bring all 4 out by themselves, that even before you get into the supermarket, it’d probably already be tiring. So I’d imagine they’d usually be out with their partner when they have all 4 kids with them. And I’d imagine the oldest would be at least a 5 year old in that scenario, 4 if the parents try really hard and get really lucky, and that’s old enough to understand basic instructions and walk on their own. Tough luck if the eldest is playful, but, I mean, you know what you’re getting into knowing your eldest is playful, but still deciding that bringing 4 young kids alone to a supermarket is gonna work out safely in a car-centric place (yeah, I think having people to push large carts to a car implies that the place is build for cars, which are inherently a dangerous for kids).

And heck, I grew up in such a family, though to be fair, I grew up in Asia, where it isn’t uncommon to have extended family members all live in the same town, and help share the work of taking care of children. I understand that it simply isn’t the culture in Western countries, especially North America. But we can make friends, and have them help watch the kids while we go get groceries, or have them help us get groceries, and either way pay them back in some way, right?

My whole refute isn’t targeting any specific circumstance a person may have with how many or how naughty their children can be. The point is that the circumstance doesn’t matter. Regardless of the circumstance, if they can’t even consider the fact that they cannot take care of all those children on their own, but they have to bring the kids along anyways to a supermarket, and struggle to keep tabs on them all, then it tells me that

1. they don’t have a stong or reliable enough social circle to help them with children when they need it,
2. they have bad decision-making abilities,
3. they may not understand their own circumstances.

All these suggest to me that they lack the ability to be an adult who is well-equipped to take care of their children, and putting the cart back is simply the manifestation of all these deficiencies.

Exactly. And depending on the kids, you could also make it a small, fun activity for them: help daddy/mommy/whatever you have your kids call you bring the cart to where it should be. It’d be no different from having the kids put their toys away, but just with something that may be beyond their strength, but you’re an adult, so just pull the cart from the side enough to help the kids move the cart and steer it to avoid hitting stuff.

If the kids are tired, have em just walk like 30s more? If you can’t even do that and your kid starts throwing a tantrum, then you have other problems with the kid and so you deal with it like you’re supposed to anyways. The kid isn’t going to just turn responsible without the parent doing something after all.

TIL this exists

But I must say… “can’t leave a child unattended” is such an ass reason. Like, just bring the kids along? It’s good education for the kids too. If they’re a baby, well there are ways to carry a baby without using your hands. If you don’t have one, then fine, but I also tells me that you have no one to rely on to take care of a baby for an hour or even two when you need it, and it makes me wonder what your relationship is with those around you.

I’ll assume you are asking in good faith / out of innocence, because this isn’t a question that typically needs to be asked if you’ve lived with any group of people for some time.

Let’s put laws aside for now, cause they can make this explanation more complicated than it needs to be.

Suppose you like jumping off cliffs for fun, and you’ve been skillful enough to not fall to your death. You jump off, feel the thrill, and you land safely — nothing bad happens. All is good.

One windy day, branches were flying around, and it was dark out. You wanted to jump anyway because, well, why not?

You jump.

A branch hit your face and scraped near your eye. You winced. And because you couldn’t see well enough, you couldn’t land like you always would. You didn’t die, but you certainly got hurt, bad.

So you thought to yourself after that incident: maybe I shouldn’t jump when it’s windy and dark out, or maybe I’ll wear eye protection when I jump.

You’ll tell others not to do the same. Not everyone listens to you, because they thought, well, maybe you just weren’t “careful enough”. Maybe you don’t care enough if they would believe or listen to you. But some people that you do care, say, your kids, also don’t seem to listen to you. Despite your warnings, they’d still sneak out at night, on windy days, to go jump off the cliff for fun.

So what would you do?

My favourite is still Drug Fraud

I had an older cousin that I looked up to a lot as a kid. They went to work with Google, and, over many years when we get together, kept praising Google and parroting the shit they say. They’ve left Google now for their own exploits, but still remain a Google ambassador, and somewhat frequently still posts about things that Google ships and just echo the empty shit Google says.

It’s a terrible feeling. I lost a cousin, and someone whom I looked up to. Haven’t talked to them in years and don’t really want to either. Knowing them, I’ll just be chided for not being serious about life and living.

I wasn’t raised in LGBT, wasn’t born in a place there it’s supported either (and it still isn’t there), and am not LGBT+ myself. But I wholeheartedly support their right to whichever it is they’re born to do.

But that one time I didn’t update my dictionary and just said LGBT+ and one of em came to me to basically reprimand me saying I should be using LGBT with the right suffixes, that was not cool.

I still support their cause, but it’s good to remember that there are assholes in every imaginable group of people, regardless of whether or not they’re discriminated against. And they should also just gtfo of their bubbles more. And yes, that comfort zone is a dang bubble by definition.

I snorted at the driver’s license. This is such a fun gem from the past.

Invalid if licked!

Invalid if looked down upon!

libsdl seems like a good base. Seems like it’s available in Debian and in the main Arch repo too. That’s plenty good for Linux. Looks like it’s also available for Windows too.

Then what was the fuss from YT reviewers about?

First time hearing about Rocknix. Not heard about Rockchip too. Seems like a cool project though. Wondering where they got the driver from, or if they made their own.

Steam Input being independent from Steam would be pretty cool. Upstreaming it to the kernel is nice, but the kernel can be slow-moving, and it doesn’t necessarily lend well to cases where you want to be able to deliver fixes to consumers outside of Linux’s release cadence. Now, Valve could perhaps go release with 2 separate cadences, the older driver as a fallback, and offer a DKMS build for newer driver releases, but it IS work to make sure it doesn’t bork someone’s system.

Are we talking about the old controller? Or the new one? Cause I’m sitting here wondering… how are you able to see that, unless you somehow already have the new controllers?

Or are you using the Steam Deck’s controller to check that?

Sorry for the volley of questions here, but I’m just super curious somehow.

God fuck this timeline smh

I’m one of those people done in by the minio rugpull. I see RustFS there, but they’re done a lot of things on their licensing front incredibly similarly to what minio did. And that scares me.

I also saw a Github issue where someone was asking what’s their say on whether they’ll ever pull a minio, and their answer was basically, “We don’t plan to. Just trust us bro.”

I know what I’m not using.
