I am sorry for your experiences, but my mother would differ. I know we (my sibling) were a pain in my parents' ass, but our journeys are one of her most cherrished memories. I understand as parent it is not as stress free , you have to worry about safety and comfort of children, many times above your own, but I think that is a part of parents life, they have to bear this pain, but some parents also consider this not a pain, but cherrish this, they enjoy the cute moments.

It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.

Is that aa bad thing? coming from a introvert, but exploring the world is not a bad thing. Most things written just feel like someone too afraid of things to change. That could be a personal choice, but definitely should not be generalised. You learn different cultures, experience different worlds, get different perspectives, etc.

quoting from AVtar the las air bender (not sure if i remember verbatim, but i hope i am close)

You should learn from all nations, if you do not, your information gets old and stale Uncle Iroh

And I love Iroh, so heavily biased

I am not rich, and I do not get paid vacations, and I do not go to vacations often, but I still agree, it can help disconnect from life stresses. Money is a factor here, and we have not always been lucky in this, but sometimes, just a nearby place where you could get for cheap can be just as effective. You can choose to not to live in a expensive hotel.

Yes and no, this is not jsut radical islam, but radio-labelled radical islam, the star denotes the radio labelling, in this case, a neutron extra, the stable version has a mass of 786, with n = 478 and p = 308, n/p ratio of 1.551948051948052, which just so happens to be the highest n/p ratio of a stable element.

Also, I did not really knew of 786, I know that people collect stuff with 786 (my dad also had a few crrency notes with serial ending in 786) but did not know it had no officially recognised significance, just numerology and alphabet-numeric conversion

the behaviour definitely checks out as american. I did not know this (not an american, and do not know much of american black history). Thanks

No, It is actually the light produced that we can actually use as a energy source, the limiting thing is, before completely loosing its kinetic energy to frictional heat, stuff falls into black hole, from where we can not get anymore energy back. If black hole is stationary, then its 6%, and if its spinning (and assuming the fastest spinning theoretically possible) - 42% (spinning black holes are smaller and have smaller radius of no-return

then i know even less, what and how do they do?

Mandatory - snapshots are not backups - they are snapshots - if the underlying fuile system crashes or corrupts, or something else happens - snapshots will not work. Use them in conjunction with a robust backup, and use snapshots to fix a stupid rm -rf * like thing.

Don't take what i say in the wrong way but what is listed does not really work any better than police. And before i go further, I also live in a place where police is lazy corrupt and racist to some extent, but first 2 are also a result of the fact they are not paid well.

  • Teach everyone self defence - that is good in principle, but it is double edged sword - you are also possible training a future criminal, and it would most likely still be a net benefit

  • organise your local communities and do community patrols (I don't remember much about how it is done in wakanda, only saw the first movie and also a long time ago) - there are 2 possible ways - either we cycle through the population - then the quality of patrol would "vary" to put it gently, if we make a small subset of people who are nominated for the job - then you have made police again - they can still get corrupt

  • Handle conflict mediation without a racist incarceration system that doesn't work? - it is spoken in a self fulfulling prophecy way - it assumes (1) conflict mediation is always possible and (2) and you do not want a system which is racist. (2) is fine, but (1) is not easy. We do not a systematic framework (constitution) and people who understand it well. Not everyone can be put in burden of understanding the law (everyone should have basic understanding, but most people already do, but most real world crime is not that easy)

What is written, mostly works for a small community (of the size of a village (< 1000)). This may also justify living in smaller self sufficient communities, but this is not efficient (in sense of resource usage) - too many people would be constantly reinventing wheels. Also, the "quality" (read threat level) of criminal would vary from village to village, and if a criminal goes on village hopping rampage, these disconencted villages would be at a disdvantage, they can act like fediverse network - share the "post" with federating "communities" but if they are not federating with a community (either intentionally, or they have never come across yet) then the "post" would go unnoticed.
