"Tell me what you see as it's starting back up"
"It's still the same screen.."
"Ok, maybe it didn't work. Walk me through your steps to restart it."
"I pressed the power button on the screen to turn it off. Press it again to turn it on."
"Oh, ok, ya. Click the the lower left corner of the screen with your mouse, then the power icon in that window that just popped up, then the word restart. More steps means it's more thorough, so it should this time."
Father of 4 chiming in: wrapping paper into a bag as you go, helps keep it as tidy as possible. Also, bins or baskets to put the unwrapped gifts into. That last one only works temporarily and is more a psychological band-aid that hurts when it's removed when it inevitably stops working as desired, until bed time.
This only serves to justify my secret low key paranoia that my like is like The Truman Show... I wish my parents were better about limiting some of the movies I was allowed to watch growing up... Arachnophobia was another lasting damage banger...
Not gonna lie, I thought this was going in a different direction. Like, the hubris, it could have reacted by swarming him like he was food to a hungry, sentient blob of nightmares.
I'm at one of the latter, so I feel this in my bones. I've watched what should have been an innocent config change snowball into a pair of VM clusters shitting back and forth for 2 hours. Implemented strict change control that day. Kind of a pain, but the team learned a lot that day!

I just found out my 10yo has been lagging behind in spelling because he's been using speech-to-text on his school issued iPad for class work. He doesn't have to think about it or try sounding it out, so of course an unpracticed in-development skill is waning. It's going to be an interesting parent-teacher meeting coming up.
Right? 2025 on Earth still existed in Star Trek. There's a non-zero chance you press the button and nothing happens... So you think it didn't work and push it again only to end up with the BDSM elves...
obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.
From the Collins dictionary:
Bigotry is the possession or expression of strong, unreasonable prejudices or opinions.
A bigot is someone who doesn't tolerate people of different backgrounds or opinions. Someone who tells a racist joke might be labeled a bigot. A bigot can also be someone who refuses to accept other ideas, as in politics.
