  • It’s a tech illiterate YouTuber for tech illiterate people that think they are tech literate

    That’s a great way to say it. I usually just call him a “tech entertainer” that real tech people look down on. But I like your version.

    The video that really polarized my opinion on them was their “storage server upgrade” video where they worked on replacing their horribly and amateurishly configured storage server.

    Wendell from Lvl1 and Allan Jude (maintainer for OpenZFS) commented on LTT’s setup and, while they didn’t outright say anything negative, they didn’t have anything good to say and their tone heavily implied they thought LTT are posers.






  • No, it gets worse. Adults don’t have the amount of mental plasticity that younger people have. While it’s possible to make things easier through CBT and learning to cope and deal with certain challenges. The mental load of keeping up with daily life ultimately has its toll. Life is getting harder every year for everyone, and having ADHD makes that mental load just that much harder.





  • though they need to be in a sling.

    Not true, my son got nurse maid’s elbow. He was crying almost non-stop for 5 hours between it happening to the doctor walking into the doctor’s room. The instant the doctor manipulated his arm he stopped crying and it was like nothing happened.



  • Instead I do a lot of yelling / stern vocalizations to keep kids away from areas they shouldn’t be.

    It’s a natural instinct to convey urgency of danger. It works for adults but it can be damaging to kids.

    The truth is that in a life or death situation, you do whatever you need to do to keep kids safe.

    My vote is that you’re lying about being a parent. But if you are a parent, then you’re letting social pressures and some very strange and warped perception of things limit what you do as a parent to protect your kids.

    I won’t outright say that it makes you a “bad” parent, but I personally cannot fathom not taking every step I can to protect my child. And no, a leash doesn’t limit their development. It factually promotes it on the very basis that it allows them to be more active in walking around and exploring in situations where it would be unthinkable to let a child walk around (heights, dangerous areas, on a boat, large dense crowds, etc.).

    Being stuck in a stroller 99% of the time is awful for kids that want to run around and explore. Some parents don’t have the physical strength or ability to carry a kid all the time.

    Twins or even triplets that are very active and wild are a perfect example. You will never contain two very wild toddlers by just “watching them”. And if you try, you are a bad parent.

    Ultimately you choose a very dumb him to die on. You are wrong.

    children are people

    Very good! I’d give you a sticker, but I don’t know where you live.

    insulating them from small forms of possible harm doesn’t help their development.

    And a leash doesn’t do that. Being a hover parent does.

    if you pick a reasonable place for your child to play there’s no need for a fucking leash 99% of the time.

    What? Is that how you people think using a leash works? You think a leash is put on the child in the morning and isn’t taken off until the end of the day? Are you for real with that? Forget it, you don’t get a sticker for saying the dumbest thing I’ve heard today. And I’ve already watched a video about a flat earther.

    I find it very interesting that you have absolutely equated a leash with a pet and with degradation.

    I have a cat, he’s not on a leash. Is he my child now? Or does that just mean he’s *not" my pet?

    dogs are on a leash mostly for safety reasons for others.

    That’s not entirely true. For example, dogs don’t understand traffic and that running across a street is dangerous (well, most dogs. Some dogs are just very smart). Keeping them on a leash minimizes the chance that it darts across the street because it sees something it wants to get. The owner put the dog on a leash because they understand that doing so will keep the dog safe from injury. The owner recognizes that the dog doesn’t understand the dangers involved.

    An infant also doesn’t understand (can’t understand) the dangers. Putting them on a leash protects them from that danger. But it also helps the child develop independence, helps them exercise, helps them learn to walk better, helps their mental development from being able to explore and interact with the world.

    Compared to just being carried or stuck in a stroller, which is ultimately boring and doesn’t help at all with the motor skills, and is far less impactful with mental development as they can only observe and not interact with.
