  • I know what you mean and Linux can be the operating system with less issues as well. E.g. I never had printer issues with my system but have to troubleshoot others' printers regularly.

    If you only use Linux for browsing and light office work you probably never encounter problems. Even if you play games via steam and Proton there probably will never be something.

    The same is true for Windows. If you only use it for a small subset of tasks (browsing, light office work or playing recent games) you will rarely encounter problems.

    But if you try to do so without a Microsoft account or if you don't want a bloated start menu, it starts to get tricky.

    And don't get me started on playing old games or getting some programming dependencies running. This can be hell.

    I know the flaws of windows (I've used it up until last year and still have to use it at work) and I also know the limitations of Linux. They are both not perfect, but Linux is free and Windows becomes more and more shit (as you've said). And this is where I don't understand all the people saying, that windows is easier. It really isn't anymore. It was a few years ago though.

  • Did I write that somewhere? No.

    Did I mean it? No.

    Okay, but do you think, that maybe her life was so shitty, that she didn't even care for her kid and that this is maybe even a systemic problem and she has no way of solving that herself?

  • Yes, I wrote this somewhere else, but my point still stands. The kid seemed as the root of all her problems and the jail sentence did never occur to her.

    This is not an excuse (as some people said) it is still a horrible thing to do. I just want to make people aware, that these thing point to systemic problems and not necessarily evil people.

  • It is a justification. Still abhorrent and unforgiven, but it is still better than just seeing this as a singular incident with no corralation to any other such occurrence. Highlighting this as a systemic problem would really help all involved.

    Shunning those who point these errors out will not help however.

  • Do you have evidence this woman was forced to bear this child?

    I do not, but I also rather meant my text as generalization for parents harming their children this much.

    Okay, let's look into the article to see if a jail sentence would help.

    Authorities said while the officer was taking McDonald to jail, she said that her actions were done as a test to see if the child’s father “gave a f--k at all,” adding she waterboarded her baby to try and make Neal come back to the apartment.

    She allegedly admitted her actions were done “out of spite.”

    I would argue, this crime has nothing to do with the sentence and everything to do with the circumstances I and others have mentioned.

    And maybe she didn't want to abort, but also maybe she would have chosen to, if it were more accepted and education in that matter was better.

  • The jail sentence has nothing to do with this happening.

    This will keep happening while people are forced to bear kids they don't want in financial situations, where nothing can be afforded and everything is shit.

    The mother was torturing her child because she needed to vent and her kid seemed like the root of all her problems, not because there were only 30 days of jail sentence.
