  • It’s not babysitting when it’s family.

    oh it is, don’t worry. I didn’t choose caring for a baby or small children as time goes, and for a fact I never wanted one. it was them who decided to maje another one, so they really should be putting in the work to care for them on the regular.

    Fortunately I don’t have a sibling, I much prefer it that way.



  • I don’t think any of those mean they don’t feel pain. Or do we assume that instead of flash and bones they are made of steel or another metal?

    op didn’t mention invulnerability, though, just that they couldn’t die. if we agree that the question is about a human, we know there are several ways to torture without causing physical harm (e. g. waterboarding, or doing something with those who you care for), but physical harm also does not mean death in many cases

    if we don’t agree that the personis a human, or even that they are not a living being, I don’t know what to say but I think the point of the question was lost






  • I have used all windows versions since xp, and I have used windows systems for 15-20 years, starting from when I was a little kid that couldn’t even read. I am relatively very familiar with the system.

    I’ve been using linuxes mostly just for the past 7 years, only 3 of which was on graphical environments, and I think understand linux a lot more. here it’s not the location of the menu that I remember (sure, there’s often not a menu for it) but what do I want to achieve, and which component deals with that. all the while windows is still just a thing to me that I know on the surface, but under that it is all held together by black magic.

    someone said that a major reason it’s very hard to understand windows like you do with linux is that it’s intentionally obfuscated. there’s also strange decisions and very strange components, and strange things we just got used to, like why does a troubleshooter or the windows update search take ages to complete while not using the cpu, the disk and not even the network.




  • to be honest if that happens its better to understand why that happens, instead of just pulling the plug. maybe a larger program (like firefox) is still exiting and in the middle of saving the session and closing databases. if you pull the plug, it’ll corrupt its data, it’ll forget your opened tabs and whatnot and you’ll be angry
