  • The ChatGTP translation for Americans:


    This morning was a full-blown suburban Olympics on the way to preschool.

    Kid wakes up with big scooter dreams. We barely make it down the driveway before he changes his mind: “No scooter! Stroller!” Cool. So now I’m pushing the stroller with a diaper bag swinging off the handle like it’s trying to fight me. He hops in. Two minutes later? “Actually… scooter.” Classic.

    Now I’m pushing the empty stroller, juggling the bag, and he’s scootering like a mini Tony Hawk. That lasts maybe 500 feet before he’s “sooooo tired” and wants back in. So guess who’s carrying a scooter, pushing a stroller, and already questioning life choices? This guy.

    Then comes the poop situation.

    We pull over for an emergency grassy field bathroom attempt. Pants off. Nothing. (Mind you, we were already late because he did a 15-minute fake poop session at home too.)

    Now he refuses everything. Doesn’t want the stroller. Doesn’t want the scooter. Won’t walk. Won’t be carried. Just stands there, arms crossed like a tiny union worker on strike.

    Eventually I scoop him up — full meltdown, flailing, screaming like I’m kidnapping him. I’ve got him in one arm, the scooter in the other, still pushing the stroller like a deranged octopus dad.

    I finally strap him back in the stroller. Two seconds later? He’s trying to escape. One leg on the sidewalk, the other still in the stroller like he’s halfway into a getaway car.

    Then — divine intervention — we pass the other preschool, and the kids are dressed as firefighters. Suddenly, he’s riveted. Climbs back in like a civilized citizen.

    The rest of the trip? Just continuous low-level whining.

    So now Mom gets to pick up the stroller AND the scooter from school later — sorry, babe.

    And me? I’m parked in a café, mainlining espresso and pretending I’ve got it all together.

  • I’ve been living here for 4 years and basically never seen any disabled people. Perhaps one or two wheel chairs but otherwise nobody. Same with all the parking spots for disabled, they are all empty all the times.

    From what I gather disabled people are mostly kept inside. From https://www.goisc.org/englishblog/2022/5/12/the-struggle-never-ends-the-apr-20-protests-against-disability-discrimination

    In Korea, it seems people with disabilities only exist on April 20. Only on this day do politicians flock to the official ceremony to display their concern as famous singers perform on stage; as awards are handed to those who “overcame” their disability and are living like non-disabled people; and as stories of “normal people” who “helped” the disabled touch the hearts of many. However, once the day is over, people with disabilities are forgotten once again, and business goes on as usual, centered on non-disabled people. Disabled people who cannot “overcome” their disability and live like non-disabled people find themselves unable to travel freely, get education, or get work as before. Even worse, they might be confined to their homes or to facilities for the disabled under the pretense of “protection” just awaiting their deaths.

    I have a baby at home and that makes it impossible to keep up with all the updates. Reading the release notes? God damn, I’m glad I have the time hit the update button once a month and then pray to god that it doesn’t break anything. If it does then it’ll take months before I have time to investigate.

    This led me to abonden HA from the summer house already. My dad’s HA has been turned off for three months too because I just can’t find the time to fix it, and at home it’s running but I have only one type of ZigBee things still working, other things are just broken like my script showing random pictures on the TV.

    I really wish for a LTS version. I don’t have those problems on my Server where I run Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
