You should really read the article.

It agrees with you in general (and so do I), but the concrete advices are a bit more appropriate for when, inevitably, the kids disobey.

I know you were exaggerating, but humiliating them or resorting to denunciation might just hurt them in the long run.

The article about the phrygian cap was actually fascinating

Exactly. For the past month I’ve read many people here saying protest are useless because of various bullshit reasons. Protest are just a starting point. At protest, people talk, organize, that can lead to more massive protest, a new ideology, a revolution, or nothing. You never know.

I’m French. I have been to many protests. Some ended in massive movement for no reasons. Some died while the cause was very important. You never know.

Linux users : Nooooooo !!!

I started my company before my daughter was born, but because of covid and Ukraine (I’m in Europe) it went bad and it’s only been OK for a year and a half now.

When our daughter was born, my wife forced me to cut 1h of work per day. She told me I could work more after our daughter was in bed if needed, to check the mails for instance. She does that a lot herself as a teacher, but I almost never find strength to work the evening because I’m too tired. So I cut one hour and… Nothing got worse.

I thought It was going to be bad but it wasn’t.

The thing is : the first year was awfull because I didn’t make enough money, so I used what I had saved. Because of that I became a lot tougher when I have to negotiate a contract, because I do feel that people asking for a low price are disrespecting me and putting my family in danger, which they are.

I still don’t make as much as I would If I worked for somebody, but I make enough, I work less, and there are many other perks.

TLDR : my wife was right. Yours might also be.

Also : I’m not my own man, I had associates all along. I don’t know if I could have done it alone.

Good luck to find your way

They were decimated in the 19th century. They only started coming back in the 90s from Italy.

Went to a corrida in southern France. Apparently it went particularly bad. It was horrific to watch (for the bull).

Wow, thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. More than enough for me for the moment, but it seems I’ll have more changes to make than I thought, and a lot more research.

Care to elaborate for someone that is not in tech? Does twingate fall in that category?

Same in France. All the major parties have been tougher and tougher with immigration for decades, and the far right popularity keeps increasing. It’s just validating them and it solves nothing.

Yeah, it would be nice if people stopped assuming it gender.

Est-ce que vous avez aussi du petrole ? Parceque sur Sh.itjust.work, j’ai regardé partout et on n’a pas de pétrole.

People win elections all the time. People celebrate elections all the time. The last time somebody taking power did a gesture that looked like this was probably in Germany, 1933. This is no coincidence.

Oh, so you’re the one she wants to punch. For a moment I thought it was me, which was worrying. If I were you I’d stay home today. Seems safer.

OK c’est rassurant, merci pour les réponses !

Par curiosité, tu as un bon four ou un four lambda ? On peut faire son pain avec un four pourri ?

Is what you are suffering from analysis paralysis? Not that I have any advice’s on that aspect, I never heard of the concept before.

On the other hand, in time you could send a new message to your family to explain why you said you cannot forgive them. Not an apology, just another calm explanation. It might be enough to rebuild some links. Even if they are not that reliable enough, in your situation it is better than nothing. Maybe they had reasons for not helping that they’ll explain when the time comes.

I hope you’ll get better.

I’ve grown used to it. I had it since I was a child, and it became a lot worse after an accident in my 20s. I’ve seen medic but they couldn’t really help. I think it became quieter since then, but I can still hear it well. I’m in my 40s now and I couldn’t care less.

I hope it will be the same for you.
