From your other replies it seems like you're unsure you want kids in any case, but if you do there's a simple thought experiment here: do you wish your father hadn't had you? If not, it's reasonable to think your children would be just as grateful to be alive as you are, sick dad or not.
Respectfully, this is why we can't have an actual conversation about healthcare in this country. What's objectively a societal good? Medicine? Sure, but I'm not proposing that we stop practicing medicine. Universal access to healthcare, free at the point of delivery? Also good, and a feature of most healthcare systems in the developed world. The specific funding model where the government runs the entire healthcare system through taxation?
I dunno, seems like it gives good, but not great, results, terrible staff morale, and a permanent state of crisis.
Fair, but I don't think they will, and I don't think people will stop voting for them forever, as much as I'm looking forward to the next general election. Even under Labour, though, the NHS gave great value for money, but middling outcomes.
The British NHS should be replaced with a system of national insurance. I'm a staunch labour voter, but the current system is subject to endless tinkering by the party of the day, and it's broken.
In the UK, the NHS is one of the only institutions that attracts broad unreserved support, though, so this is about as popular as "all college athletes should be locked in churches and those churches should be burned to the ground" would be in the US.
The current steam deck isn't going to be obsolete just because a newer model comes out. I'm happily playing through the new System Shock right now, and there's a gazillion things in my steam library that I can install and run any time I like.
At some point there will be a faster, better deck, but this one is going to do me for a while. It is, in that sense, like a gaming PC. The lifetime of it isn't determined by the manufacturer in the same way, because you can choose when it's worth paying more for a better experience.
Like a gaming PC the first question you need to ask is "what's my budget", and the second "what would I like to be able to play". When you have those answered, you can decide whether the current sale price offers value for money. There is always going to be more power available for a higher price.
Write down on a bit of paper "I want to spend more time with my son, I can always find another job", then flip it over and write "I'm going to spend my time on work, I can always have another kid" and see how you feel.

Well that's what I mean by "islands of trust". If an instance has a habit of banning people for dubious reasons, other instances would have to just ignore their bans, and that makes it dicey to federate with them at all. It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out over the next few weeks.

I wholly agree, but that photo has been on my camera roll for years waiting for just the right discourse.
Mostly, it's the must-have Indie darlings, with a sprinkling of AAA fodder.
I've loved:
I've found that I enjoy playing offbeat adventure games on the deck more than I did sat at a PC. Detention, Norco, Loretta, To The Moon, that sort of thing is perfect for playing in bed, propped against the pillows.
I'm personally a huge fan of project zomboid, though I had to tweak the controls a little to make it work well.
I'm sure Stardew Valley is a perfect match for the deck, but I've played it too much already.
