RHEL --> Debian in the sense that RHEL is a root distro from which the others spring. But there the similarities very much end.

The Real Story:

B'elanna's mom was unsatisfied and her dad felt inadequate and they just handled it really poorly.

I think it's a Car Talk episode.

Thank you. But I don't do it anymore. I could not earn enough money to have a stable life and family.

I have a whole different rant about that.

Sex: Dragon sexuality is a bit too much of rule34 for my games.

r/dragonsfuckingcars has entered the chat.

Didn't he famously like hate actual role play too? Like for him it was all just a new and more personal format of tactical war gaming.

I have a kid, I spent 10 years working with kids professionally, and I agree with this dude.

In fact, lots of people, myself included, are drawn to leftist anarchism BECAUSE of lessons we learned about the failures of authoritarianism in school from parents and teachers. It's always super annoying to see parents and teachers settling comfortably into an authoritarian role with their own kids, after hearing them wax emphatically about the effects of authoritarianism in adult society. I'm surrounded by hypocrites, and it's not harmless. It's like everybody either forget what it's like to be kids, or think that the lessons of adulthood give them license to stop caring about those "little" problems, (and be fricken condescending in the process) when actually they just find it "easier" or it "feels safer" to them.

I have friends who we're excellent teachers, but left the school system in absolute despair because they went in intending to be collaborative, entertaining teachers and passionate advocates for the kids in their care... Only to run up against all the bureaucratic walls the education system throws up to prevent exactly that and create as much conformity as possible... And then the icing on the cake is the vast majority of parents who just don't get it, Don't even try to get it, Don't listen, know what they know, their opinions are their opinions and talking to them is just effing hopeless.

Whenever I've dealt with really difficult children, 9 times out of 10 you meet the parents and you're like "Oh, this all makes sense!" (I can actually only think of three exceptions and two of those were clinical sociopaths). Or you go to work with a school (I've worked with and at dozens of schools) and you're like "Oh, I understand why the kids from this school that I see in my program are always behaving in X, Y and Z dysfunctional ways. How is everyone this clueless and incompetent??" I have watched teachers utterly fail to teach or connect with the kids in their charge, and then watched those same teachers play politics and keep their positions while teachers who are doing a great job get let go (or forced out through social bs) because they want to ignore all that crap. I have had teachers come up to me when I'm running a program or event at their school and had them say "Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I saw the kids in your program and those are all the most difficult children we have!" And I'm like "these kids are fine! You're an authoritarian in an authoritarian environment, aren't you??"

And I'm literally surrounded by adults who like think they know what they're doing, and aren't even trying to get it and MAN do they have opinions they want to share and it pisses me the fuck off.

My kid creates super good boundaries, he emphasizes kindness in communication in ways I was totally unable to do it his age, he advocates for himself (and other kids) like someone a decade older, and if he's on his phone in class, it's because the teacher is failing to engage the class. End of discussion. When I see that situation, I'm almost always like "I could teach this class and these kids would not be on their phones, and I have the experience under my belt to prove it." (And I have seen shit like that).

Hmm. Driving porn viewers who value their privacy underground couldn't possibly have any negative consequences I can think of.

Linux uh... Finds a way.

I have it working on Debian, it wasn't THAT hard, but I never got it to work with the GPU so it was SUPER slow. I've since found XTTS2 which set up super easy, comes with a web GUI and just supports my GPU out of the box.

I do remember some posts on r/sex back in the day that were absolutely kids (teens) and you could tell by how

• Freaked out they were about totally normal stuff.
• Excited they were about how great sex is.

I remember there was a funny day when there were two top upvoted posts on r/sex (probably in like 2017) where one was like

• It turns me on when my boyfriend masturbates to me, am I normal?

And the other one was like

• I (female bodied, they/them / nb) am a furry and my wife and I like to pretend that I'm a wolf and I'm hunting and eating her. What can we make that will look and feel like real organs I can "rip" out of her stomach and eat, and what could we use for fake blood that would be the easiest to clean up?

People kept linking the second one in the first one and reassuring this poor girl that she's totally normal.

this.
