Yeah, it's different for everyone.

My "counterfactual" is knowing a lot of kids that were home schooled. They were just young weird adults that didn't thrive in most circumstances. There's a reason why even rural agrarian societies found value is putting kids together.

Because my crusty heart knows not but an abundance of hate, greed, and darkness.

But maybe I'm give it a try later today, I dunno.

Amazing how this guy has no idea that schools are just as much about socializing and learning to deal with other people and situations you'll be in for the rest of your life. That's not "child care," it's a structured environment where the main goal is learning and the real benefits are everything else on the fringes.

You've been through the wilderness, friend.

I don't think I've ever seen such a hard sell for a font.

Been on Linux for 18 months as my daily driver. Can't possibly love it any more.

The guy's not a Lannister. I mean, he probably would fuck his sister, but still...

Dads that quote this are engaging in a form of Dunning-Kruger effect. Often they aren't self-aware enough to realize that if you have to say you're so smart, it often means you ain't that smart.

This 100%.

The education system was not OK, and has not been for a while. Its main goal is limiting liability, not educating kids.

"You have a presentation on Tuesday at 10. Here's the PowerPoint deck. Don't mess this up for me and I might top you up with another fiver ;)"

Yeah, I have an old SSD in an SSK container and that's where I've banished windows to. As long as GRUB can find the right drive and system partition, it's not hard.
