Just a note for those interested in the local play aspect of it like I was.

You don’t need to create an account to play the game locally.

You can just exit out of the first menu and play the scenarios that are available.

My kid starts kindergarten soon. I have already coached them on how to handle those situations.

This probably isn’t the best solution for a lot of reasons but I don’t really care because of how I grew up getting the shit kicked out of me, and it only stopped once I started fighting back.

I have told them if they get hit or bullied physically, to grab the other kid and beat them in their face as hard as they can.

It happened once in daycare where another kid tried to put mine into a headlock, my kid retaliated in kind and started punching the other kid in the face until they got separated.

Obviously this isn’t the best solutions but schools, as we see, don’t punish bullies as often as they should and the receiver of the bullying gets punished instead. I have been on the receiving end of this myself, even when I didn’t fight back.

I’m willing to go to court over this, and have the means to fight it if I needed to. Which kinda helps my decision to teach my kid what I have.

Now, all of that being said I have absolutely taught them that the first option no matter what is to try to walk away and find a teacher if you haven’t been physically attacked yet.

It IS 100% THE SCHOOLS RESPONSIBILITY to handle these situations. If this is the second time, then you need to get the administrators involved if they haven’t been already. If they have, then ask them what they are going to do to ensure that the situation is handled and doesn’t happen again.

If it happens again after that, go above the local administration to the school board. Do some research find out who the chain of command is and start following it up if necessary. Try to make communication over email, or document everything, have a paper trail, ask for copies of the procedures they are taking, make them physically provide you with an outline or plan of what they are going to do. Put their backs up against a wall so they understand that you are determined to hold them accountable for how they handle the situation.

I know the other child may not have the best situation, but you unfortunately don’t know if that is or isn’t the case, and your priority is your child first. It can be a bit painful to think about, but the reality is that you want to protect your child.

But for the extreme situations, teach or have someone teach your child how to defend themselves.

I was considering that, but was reluctant to do it without any advice since I don’t know enough about the Deck and how it works other than it runs on a variant of Arch.

After your comment I did try it and it worked.

Thank you!

Seriously?

I mean, your guy received money from rich people too.

You’d rather give a psychotic fascist an extra point by not voting than to at least vote?

One of the potential worst settings for this country to be in and you’re just going to turn your back on it.

So you’re not going to vote then?

It’s not as difficult as you are imagining. There’s usually a hose with a handled sprayer, so you have the ability to spray from different directions. Unless you end up with a bidet which has a nozzle that pops out and sprays up and at an angle to get you clean.

As for your point of knowing if your clean or not, you will know. If you don’t notice at first, you’ll know really quick when that itch hits lol. Realistically though I don’t think you will have too much of a problem, give it a week or so to get acclimated and you’ll have it down like the locals. Just wash your hands often and you should be fine.

I would wager that it’s perfectly fine.

I’ve spent some time in Indonesia where this is also common. I’m not dead yet lol.

Think about the millions of people in countries where the bathroom situation is like that. They live their lives like that, and have been doing so for a very long time. If it were a huge issue there would have been changes in their lifestyle to accommodate for that.

I’m not 100% on the differences in Indonesia and India, but at home there was soap so it was immediate washing. Out in public their either was only facilities for peeing, or if they did have toilets or a place for pooping, there would be a sprayer to wash off with so you didn’t need to use your hand. Or if you got lucky they would have a sit down toilet with tp.

Edit: I see you mentioned not caring for personal opinion. Sorry about that, but realistically I doubt there’s much need to worry considering the millions of people that live like that. If it was an issue they wouldn’t live like that.

I didn’t at first, but after the response from @mranderson17 I ended up doing just that. Which seems to have resolved that issue.

Prior to enabling testing/unstable repos for access to Plasma 6.1, CM was working fine on Wayland. However after the update it seems to have broken it but changing to X11 fixes the issue. So it’s likely a combination of me messing with my system and something with Plasma 6.1.

Thank you for that.

It didn’t help but it definitely got me moving in the right direction. I remembered that I recently (yesterday) enabled the testing and kde-unstable repos in my system so I could install Plasma 6.1 to check it out. Prior to this change I had CM working properly but was having issues getting CSP to work. Well, I figured out a workaround to getting CSP to work (after this change) by just copying over my install directory from windows on top of the install in Linux. However since I had already updated to Plasma 6.1 it came with the new issue of the drop down menus.

I was using Wayland. Just swapped over to X11 and it’s working as intended. So something with Plasma 6.1 on Wayland is causing the issue.

So mostly a bunch of messing around with my system is probably what is causing the issue and for whatever reason disabling the testing and unstable repos isn’t allowing me to revert back to the previous version of Plasma. Not really sure why but that’s a totally different issue.

I really appreciate the time you took to give me such an in depth response.

KDE is fine. I’ve been using it for some time now and never really had any significant issues that weren’t caused from my own meddling.

I say that as someone that has been on and off using Linux variants for probably 20 years now.

I run my kids machine on pop os with KDE, auto login that opens steam in big picture mode. Haven’t had any issues at all.

You can put the pumps in maintenance mode. I did it on accident once looking for the mute button. I held down one of the buttons for like 10 seconds and the pump went into maintenance mode. Just leave it like that lol.

Download links are down.

I dual boot, but only because of a few games that require stupid DRM stuff, and one specific software that doesn’t work on Linux and there isn’t a good enough alternative to in Linux. Outside of that 99% of the time I’m running Linux.

There are some tools out there to rip the DRM out of those.

Have you checked out Medela, we used one of those a couple years back and there was no app involved. No data collection, just plug it in and go.

I’m on 121.0 mobile and have no issues accessing Google.com. Not that I use it anyway but figured I’d test.

+1 for Connect app on Android. Got booted out and unable to log back in.

If all it takes to ruin a friendship is not playing a game with someone then I would reevaluate whether they were actually my friends and not just casual acquaintances.

This is probably just a use of different words to not sound repetitive.

Before anyone starts screaming at me. I’m not taking sides.

The whole thing is fucked and I don’t know enough about it all to form an educated opinion. Ethnic genocide does appear to be what’s happening with my limited knowledge and that is insane, but even in this day and age I am not surprised in the least. That’s as far as my opinion goes on the matter.

Nice
