I would say 4 hours and you can choose to use it at work or for your hobby, depending on what is more important.

There are so many legitimate reasons why people need to travel often. If your parents are sick, or your child or someone died then another one and so on. It's really a pitty that the iron curtain is being build up again.

Actually it was a little car not a stroller.

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.

Oh and interestingly I'm quite aware about what RSS is. My first RSS generator I wrote for my first blogsoftware in ca 2005 later in 2013 I wrote (my first RSS reader for Linux](https://github.com/jeena/FeedTheMonkey), I wrote another one for Firefox OS and in between I wrote a coupple of other RSS and Atom generators for different propitiatory RSS/Atom generators like for my other blog software.

Can you explain a bit more what you mean? I've been using RSS since 2006 and what you're saying is not my experience. I follow mostly personal blogs, because newspapers don't offer RSS feeds.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

What I meant to say was from one random person on the Internet per article.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

I'm sorry to say that the headline is false. With RSS you get an opinion from one random person on the internet and no other context. On social media there are comments which more often than not collaboratively bring in the context in the comments and do what classically has been done by the editors in newspapers: fact checking, contextualizing, explaining.

Theoretically RSS could do those things too if renowned newspapers would offer RSS feeds, but they don't because they want to show advertisement and it seems not enough people who use RSS want to pay for subscriptions.

Says the guy with 1386 comments on his own instance of a fringe social media software :D

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have in recent days deported the Cuban-born mother of a 1-year-old girl — separating them indefinitely — and three children ages 2, 4 and 7 who are U.S. citizens along with their Honduran-born mothers, their lawyers said Saturday.

The three cases raise questions about who is being deported, and why, and come amid a battle in federal courts over whether President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown has gone too far and too quickly at the expense of fundamental rights.

Lawyers in the cases described how the women were arrested at routine check-ins at ICE offices, given virtually no opportunity to speak with lawyers or their family members and then deported within three days or less.

 

Normally when you need to wait at a crossing because it's red you take out your phone to waste some time. But you have to be quite anxious and look up if it's already green or not, otherwise you miss the green light.

But they help you out with that here in Korea by building in the traffic light into the curb. You're looking down on your phone and see the red line left and right of it. Once it changes to green you immediately are aware of it because it's in your field of view constantly.

Great invention!

I took the background picture just outside and put the stock picture hands with a phone on top of it so you can easier visualize it how it looks like in reality.

 

It reminds me of the one scene in Inglorious Bastards:

"You are sheltering enemies of the state, are you not?"

 

As much as I dislike the Chinese Autocratig Regime, if they're right, then they're right.

 

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that President Donald Trump is exploring legal pathways to “deport” U.S. citizens to El Salvador, where the administration has already arranged to house deported immigrants in a prison known for its human rights abuses.
