To add to what the other person said, I think it’s a PEBKAC problem. I’ve only used Linux occasionally, but that website was very clear to me.

I’d still depend on someone else telling me if I should use Gnome or KDE, but I wouldn’t expect KDE to compare themselves to another option.

Whoever is the subject of the verb “did”. Whoever did something.

Whomever is an object, so whoever did something to whomever.

In other words, “whoever” does things; “whomever” has things done to them.

So… Your honest stance is that “security personnel” who fired automatic weapons into defenseless, non-violent crowds should be memorialized because a handful of them were killed in the ensuing chaos?

How about this one: If someone is charging you with a machete, you should just stand still so you don’t accidentally hurt them defending yourself? Or are you saying that if you both die, you should both have your pictures and caskets side by side at the memorial service?

Any local “street vandals” taking notes? A Winnie the Pooh stuffie with a strategically ripped hole and a big free-standing ladder is all that would be needed…

I’d rather trust an auto company with decades of experience with safety and quality control to figure out batteries/electrical motors, than a software/battery company racing emerging tech to market to figure out cars. Even if I need to wait a few more years to shift to electric.

Does this read like an LLM-written article to anyone else? It jumped from WW2 to 1919, and reported that the standard size is both 1½×3½ inches and 1⅝×3⅝ inches.

I have no confidence in the accuracy of anything in this article, but maybe that’s just me being skeptical of the effort that went into researching this text.

The lead in to Good Riddance by Green Day is messing up the opening twice in a row. He even swears after the second fuck up.

In response to the last point, yes. There is a lot of research supporting the importance of close parental bonds.

Asking young children to “self regulate” is literally impossible; children are not developmentally ready to self regulate or “self soothe”. Classical parenting (“Boomer parenting”) of ignoring kids and letting them figure things out and/or punishing dysregulation are damaging.

Digging into the last example a bit more, punishing dysregulation looks like sending a child for time out when they lose control and hit. Children don’t want to hurt others; that behaviour is a symptom of dysregulation, and they need an adult’s help to co-regulate, identify the instigating stressors that led to dysregulation, identify what feelings they are experiencing, and practice, practice, practice, practice co-regulation strategies hundreds or thousands of times until they are able to use those strategies independently.

By sending a child for time out, parents are abandoning children when they are most in need of attachment. This teaches children to mask their dysregulation and suppress their emotions.

This is just one example, but the bottom line is that yes, there is a lot of research supporting the value and benefit to being present and attentive to children’s needs, and being mindful about parental choices. (Doesn’t mean you won’t lose your shit as a parent and fuck up all the time, but you need to repair the relationship when it happens.)

If you want the long answer, I highly recommend Dr. Becky Kennedy’s book, “The Good Inside”. Or follow her on social media for regular “bite size” highlights. Even if you aren’t interested in parenting, it’s a fantastic book for unpacking your childhood traumas.
