So you didn’t give yourself time to adjust and didn’t like them. That tracks…

They take a month or 2 to get used to, give it time. Your brain sort of morphs itself to make it seem normal after a while. It’s very strange but true.
I personally went for only 2 zones, one which was mainly the strength to use a computer rather than read a book up close (though I can do that in a pinch), and the other for distance. This feels very natural to me now, I can just see what I need to see but it doesn’t feel weird.

16 is definitely extreme, but having gone to war with YouTube’s junk to small kids and finding out there’s no preventing them falling down some junk rabbit hole, I’m pretty cool with it up to about 12.
- Comment on We too often minimize the sacrifices parents make for us 3 weeks ago:
Those are the only 2 ways I can imagine having a child and not making some sacrifices, yes. Your insults do nothing to further your point.

Literally any non-ml instance would be a way better choice. Also avoid hexbear. The rest are pretty solid. I’m happy with speed of Lemmus.org, but lemmy.world worked fine for me too.

This is how they enforce the CCP’s social values.
- Comment on So glad I suck dick 3 weeks ago:
They are just trying to be like the CCP, their heroes. Wait until they roll out their social credit system in upcoming Lemmy releases!
- Comment on We too often minimize the sacrifices parents make for us 3 weeks ago:
Yes I understand this is coming from people who feel (probably rightly) that their parents weren’t good parents and didn’t do enough for them, and which may have said the things you mention.
But even taking all of that as true, those parents, as bad as they may have been, still made sacrifices for their kids. I agree that this is a horrible thing to hang over their heads, but it doesn’t make it untrue either.
I also agree you are signing up for this usually thankless job and should be ready for that. But that also doesn’t negate the fact that you are making some sacrifices to be a parent.
- Comment on We too often minimize the sacrifices parents make for us 3 weeks ago:
It’s an expectation and a sacrifice. By having kids you made the choice to make some sacrifices.
In the definition of sacrifice there is no provision for how much you wanted to make said sacrifice or what the motivation was. Simply that you gave one thing up for another thing you found more important.
sacrifice /săk′rə-fīs″/ noun The act of giving up something highly valued for the sake of something else considered to have a greater value or claim. “Social activism often involves tremendous sacrifice.”
- Comment on We too often minimize the sacrifices parents make for us 3 weeks ago:
This is true for any sort of sacrifice. Volunteering, saving people from burning buildings, etc.
- Comment on We too often minimize the sacrifices parents make for us 3 weeks ago:
Yes I suppose you could apply that to anything and say sacrifice doesn’t exist for anything. But since we are discussing it, I don’t think we are in the mindspace you are proposing.
- Comment on We too often minimize the sacrifices parents make for us 3 weeks ago:
Being a good parent and making sacrifices are not the same. It’s impossible to be a parent without making sacrifices. It’s possible to make said sacrifices and still be a bad parent.
- Comment on We too often minimize the sacrifices parents make for us 3 weeks ago:
Try being a parent and get back to me. There isn’t a parent in the world that doesn’t make sacrifices. Even bad ones do. There’s no way to raise a kid without time and money and loss of sleep. Even if you do a bad job.
- Comment on We too often minimize the sacrifices parents make for us 3 weeks ago:
Unless they put you up for adoption or sent you to live with relatives, the fact that you are still alive disproves this point.
