@golgaloth Parenting like a medievalist. I love it.

@golgaloth now i really want one of those "the art of war for children learning to read" books that are available in china.

@catsalad @golgaloth I occasionally use diaereses in my variable names. it is someone rude that crates.io doesn't allow non-ascii in crate names, my current project is called gtfsржд (note that the р is U+440 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER ER not an english p)

@artemist @golgaloth
I agree. The tech scene is too English centric.

@golgaloth A brilliant strategy.

@golgaloth Some kids get lucky!

@golgaloth next time to bring the food inside the pillow fort, perhaps?

@golgaloth

That’s war crimes, but hey, it’s always best to let the kids make their own mistakes! They learn best like that! ️

@gimulnautti @golgaloth
it's a war crime to destroy food, but it's not to consume it. As long as she ensures he is fed sufficiently once he surrenders it's fine.

@golgaloth
Another fine example of good parenting…

@gimulnautti @golgaloth depends if he's got a civilian population in there with him

@violenteastcoastcity @golgaloth

“What do you mean your children don’t know how to spell chevauchée?”

@golgaloth

sometimes it's not what they learn but what they don't learn.

if the two kids with this level of strategy this early decide to collaborate, dad is in serious trouble.
