    Be careful, your child may start to take extremist actions with their follow lefties such as:

    1. Organizing or joining a union.
    2. Voting for increased taxes on the ultra-wealthy.
    3. Marching to protest police militarization and restrictions on women’s rights.
    4. Pushing for better pay, hours, and benefits in their workplace.



  • Wayland is generally great. The only reason I’ve stuck with X11 is a few random bugs and issues that still aren’t solved in Wayland.

    I’m planning on switching over to Wayland fully at the end of this year. Seems like every 6 months I try it and there are less issues than before.

    Try them both, plenty of folks have no issues at all running Wayland right from the start, so give it a go and see what happens.


  • I think it’s generational. When I talk to folks about gaming in their early-mid 30’s, the majority of them either also game, or at least don’t think it’s weird. Video games and board games too.

    I think once you hit that rough age cutoff for millennials, late 30’s-early 40’s it seems video gaming and board gaming also largely falls off. At least that’s been my experience.

    My spouse and I are in our 30’s and most of our peers game. Keep it up and never stop having fun!


    1. Fallacious argument. Just because something hasn’t been successful before or people don’t see how to make it work doesn’t justify an existing unethical/immoral system. Plenty of people thought it was crazy to imagine a world where slavery wasn’t a thing. That didn’t justify continuing that system though.

    2. There are many of examples of anarchist or pseudo-anarchist communities that exist. Many Shaolin monastic communities are anarchistic, and egalitarian depending on the sect. Some Mennonite and old world Amish communities are anarchistic also, having only collective property and some personal property, no privatization.

    Some first nations tribes were pseudo-anarchist, operating as a collective with egalitarian leadership based largely on life experience and wisdom, they maintained completely voluntary relationships with other tribes in the region and had no private property.



  • Part of the Capitalist mythos for sure, “if you’re not growing, you’re dying.” There’s a rejection of the idea that you could reach a healthy equilibrium of size and just remain there.

    And because of the way the rest of the market works, it forces everybody to act like that or get beat out completely. Vicious feedback loops.
