"Transferred my save to Hogwarts Legacy 2 and it changed my character into a little black girl!"
Prior to the modern age, kids died all the time. Infant and child mortality was quite high and women might have 10 kids to ensure they'd have one survive (and in the process the woman might die) That's in a relatively sophisticated society like the premodern west.
In that context, having a bunch of kids die for things they didn't really deserve to die for is a practical lesson.
One of the lessons that I want to teach my son is that you can fail. You can die. You can end up growing up broke and living a miserable life. You can grow up alone. you fall into drugs. you can fall into gangs. You can find yourself in a social circle that's crabs in a bucket where you can only ever be as good as the person next to you, and they all actively seek to be bad. People will tell you that it can't possibly happen, but that's just because they don't want you to feel bad in the moment and a lot of parents think that is how you are a good parent.
That's one reason why I've been trying to read pre-modern books to my son. They're written by societies that are just a little bit closer to the reality of the world, despite whatever we think.

I get a kick out of seeing people who think one user on an instance being a jerk means the whole instance is bad.
Usually the same sort of people who would claim to oppose generalizing entire groups of people.
I checked the TOS, I'm still not your dad, block jerks if you need to and move on with your life.

It was fine after openshell to fix the start menu, rufus to get the installer to chill out, o&o shutup10 to lay off the spying, and 10 decrapifier to cut down on the apps I don't need.

I'm old enough that I want to be proven wrong because trying to prove yourself right against the entire internet is futile no matter how many years you mash yourself up against the internet.
The problem is when people can't prove me wrong on certain things, that's where I have to assume I'm right.

One thing I'm big into that I don't talk that much about is old games. There's a project called The Force Engine which plays Dark Forces with modern controls and visuals. I just finished playing the first 4 levels of dark forces and it's been really enjoyable!

It would be like one of those sphincter doors but made entirely out of stainless steel.
Man, if I could customize that mine would be totally sick. It'd have all kinds of cool mods. People would come from all around to see my butthole.
Why are you stealing chemicals from Norfolk Southern? You gonna pay them for their loss?
You're welcome. :P

I've got a cron job which auto-updates the back-end and front-end weekly. Now I'm just trying to figure out why the translation isn't working, feel like I'm 99% of the way there.
FBXL Social is running soapbox, which by default shows a twitter like feed, but can show context by clicking on the "expand this post" button.
Friendica defaults to showing threads first which is a bit nicer, but overall the soapbox experience worked better for me.
