Grats to the kid. It developed the ability for critical thinking early. Time to admit the lie and stop using fairy tales as a tool. \
The next developmental step might make giving money for teeth a really cursed incentive btw. So disconnecting the reward from the loss of teeth is probably a good idea. Just increase the weekly allowance accordingly to not make it look like discoveries are punished.
The problem with doubling down as a habit is that the child's brain will mature more and eventually notice the lie. And then you did actual habitual betraying gaslighting instead of just the usual fairy tales to calm a child. Admit and acknowledge the child's mental development. \
Parents start with having the full trust of their children. And there is quite the leeway before puberty hits. But trust once lost might never be fully regained. There is a real risk of creating serious trust issues.
The cold truth being that humans in general are a really bad source for facts. They lie to protect. They lie to save face. They lie because they don't like the truth. And they accidentally lie because they don't know better. No one can be trusted in this world. You have to fact-check everything. And we didn't even have the internet back then.
It's a console-like device for people who want the full PC gaming experience without the large PC form factor. It comes with Steam OS preinstalled and 1080p60 on medium settings should be fine for the people who play on the couch with the large TV two to three meters away. \
But I guess, it's mainly sold to tiny form factor fetishists because it's definitely not cheap, and you probably can just slap Steam OS on a used gaming PC.
I don't get why they aren't just making a single body with tons of sliders for all proportions and some "man" and "woman" presets which are just values for those sliders. If it was just one body, all the clothing and animations would only need to be done for one body instead of two. \
What am I missing?
Factorio is basically just role-playing as the US: You land on a planet and liberate the oil from the natives. \
But I also like Dungeon Keeper or Rimworld where you can actually play as a genuinely evil god. \
There is nothing wrong with being evil in a video game. Sometimes it just feels good to be bad.
That looks like the usual bad faith "they want to fuck children" smearing. I am almost fully certain that the bill contains egregious overreach and/or is redundant to existing law because that literally always was the case when I looked behind similar tweets in the past.
Unser immer erste Mittel der Wahl - der Regimechange - ist gescheitert und hat Prigozhin verbrannt. \
Aussichtsreiche Kandidaten für Putins Nachfolge wären Viktor Zubkov (ein Bürokrat), Dmitry Medvedev (der Hitzkopf mit den Atombombendrohungen) und Mikhail Mishustin (der Ökonom, der Russlands Wirtschaft kriegstauglich gemacht hat). \
Vermutlich wirds Medvedev.
Sieht nicht so aus, als würde dieser Afghanistankrieg per Regierungswechsel enden. Russland hat sich im Glauben auf einen Konflikt mit der NATO auf ein kriegerisches Jahrzehnt eingestellt. Dank den USA ist der Ölpreis hoch genug, um das auch locker zu finanzieren. Ich vermute, Russland lässt den Ukrainekrieg erstmal weiter schwelen und genießt den traditionell größeren Zusammenhalt von Nationen, die sich im Krieg befinden. \
Das russische Vielvölkergemisch ist eher stoisch, entbehrungsreiche Kriege gewohnt und wurde schon immer von Oligarchen und Monarchen regiert. Ich denke, eine natürliche Revolution von innen ist quasi ausgeschlossen und Putin weiß wonach er suchen muss, um unsere Revolutionskeime zu entdecken. \
Hoffen wir mal, dass Putin nicht einfach an Altersschwäche wegstirbt, denn der Nachfolger ist wahrscheinlich deutlich aggressiver.
This reads like SPAM. \
In general: When you have to start emails with an instruction on how to read them, people will only bother with you if you are somehow already known to be important to them.
Nice to see that at least in the hardware market, competition still works. It is normal for companies who don't offer competitive value for the money to just fail. This is how market economies are meant to work.
It takes a long time to fully deplete the male population of a country like Ukraine. They are Slavs and fight till the end (literally to the last Ukrainian). The US just needs to keep Starlink available and keep feeding targeting info. Ukraine does the rest. Sure, they will eventually run out of men. But they will then send the women too and keep the fight going for another few years. \
Ukraine is the best-possible proxy ever. That war will keep going with or without further western funding.
It's always the time and always has been. \
But the actual problem to be solved is not the system, but the minority of people who always rise to the top in any system and ruin it for everyone else. There are always positions of power and people happy to exploit them. That is something, no system so far was able to solve.
