omfg, you are right. Not a children’s show, though.

That must be the most cryptic title I’ve seen on Lemmy today.

Romm + Knulli sounds like the name of a little known German 1970s children’s show that later earned cult status.

Weird how Google decided that the man in the original is laughing too much, and toned it down in all 4 versions.

Yep. It cuts pretty close to some of what I have seen IRL and on this sub.

I know that situation: you just breached a delicate subject you genuinely care about, but something requires immediate attention, and you don’t want to make the other feel bad.

With kids - parents understand, no worries.

This might be a good article, please don’t get me wrong!

But Fuck Forbes, I hate the intro so much:

Brian Acton, 46, sits in a cafe of the glitzy Four Seasons Hotel in Palo Alto, California, and the only way you’d guess he might be worth $3.6 billion is the $20 tip he briskly leaves for his coffee. Sturdily built and wearing a baseball cap and T-shirt from a WhatsApp corporate event, he’s determined to avoid the trappings of wealth

This is how I understood the question, too.

That is so cool.

So

• tr = tore
• tty = totey
• rsync = rosynce
• ps = pose
• pr = pore
• mpd = moped

I could do this all day.

I usually abbreviate these “in German” in my head. Esp. handy if there’s a freaking double-U in it, which is just one syllable in German. Exception: /etc = Etsy

🤷 that’s why we have ls, rm, mv and hell, even w.

To confuse things even more there’s a utility called pwgen and I can never remember which two letters to type before hitting autocomplete.

Either that or world domination.

Those make me strangely nostalgic. I really want sticks with single digit GBs. I have one 1GB stick left, none with 2 or 4, one with 8 and then we’re at 32 already…

Oh and I remember my very first one with 64MB

jsdelivr, eww

Elbow bumps here!

Shit’s important. Of course kids pick up on it.

(sorry I’m still half replying to that other guy)

I heard them say “Trump is stupid” and they were clearly copying their parents. But then we also talked about Ukraine and who has to go to war and they were genuinely worried that they or their dads or big brothers will have to go too. Kids crave these conversations, it gives them so many opportunities to learn about society and values. Give them real answers, don’t shut them out.

(Sorry I tend to talk about kids like this hive mind fluttering around me; of course each is individual)

You can hear when they copy their parents, but kids aren’t as isolated as you seem to believe. Even when they cannot read they have eyes and ears and lots of input from other people, ads, media… and kids easily pick up on the important stuff one way or another.

I will always try to teach them values when they ask questions about politicians or politics or our world going to shit. And I don’t think it’s bad that they hear about in the first place, and have their own thoughts about it.

I see a lot of comic strips on Lemmy every day (because I want to) and I’m surprised how much I enjoy this series. It manages to be funny and thoughtful and relatable without resorting to word games or saracasm. I don’t think I even have ADHD.

“It’s filled with vinegar and bile, to keep me sober in this world”

Now where did I read that?
