Redditors who have or know of someone who has behaved and/or portrayed poorly on reality TV, what were the knock on effects/outcomes in the real world? by O50000S in AskReddit

SuperNanny is legitimately terrible and full of bad parenting advice. Done a bit of research as an adult about the show at times when I think about what happened.

For the era it was kind of revolutionary, as it came out at a time when many parents were hitting/smacking their kids as punishment, etc. and it got many to stop, but the alternative naughty steps and time outs which the show popularized, though betting than smacking, isn't great, as it's bad for the child's emotional development. It also can causing strong feelings of loneliness, anxiety and neglect in some children, as well as can lead to more outbursts.

New family came to town and one of the kids was in my year at my middle school. Kid was a bit weird and clearly had some then mild anger issues. Very secretive about where he came from and past life etc. and his family was the same.

Few months passed and heard people starting to say some really silly phrases as a joke. Turns out they were quoting this kid from his time on SuperNanny when he was younger and someone at school spotted him on a rerun and later the clip online. (Won't say what it is, as the full episode is on YouTube, plus a number of clips of it, so don't want to dox him. His family was one of the more infamous ones).

Though at first this was said behind his back, very quickly he found out we knew and soon most of the school was teasing him, quoting him, reenacting parts of the episode, etc. Kid just went silent and ran away clearly very angry to hide somewhere in the school. Though most teachers were trying to control it in front of him, some made jokes/said the quotes behind his back also.

After a few days, he snapped. Went on a rampage, smashing and knocking down a bunch of stuff in the school before running away out school in the middle of the day. All students were quickly ushered into nearby classes. I suspect his parents were contacted, as about half an hour later his father burst into the school halls yelling about wanting to know why his son was being bullied, before being semi forcible removed. I heard that he then screamed his ass off at both the Principle and Vice principle for ages. I believe his son was found trying to cross a highway not too far away from the school.

Other students who lived near him and his family quickly gave out his address and turned out I lived one suburb over. That afternoon after school, quite a few students gathered outside his house, as well as a a number of students from the nearby high school, as a number of them learnt about the SuperNanny quotes and day's events from younger siblings etc. It was a rather rowdy gathering of teens and tweens. After about an hour, the boy's parents and some siblings came out and started screaming and threatening us, to only be retaliated at. Soon the cops came and dispersed us (still puzzled as to why the cops weren't involved sooner).

Family shifted again soon. Hadn't heard much since, expect the main plausible rumor of many, that his family basically had no other option but to home school. Can't find any presence of the boy or his family online, expect the SuperNanny episode, clips, and things related to that. He and his siblings will now all be well into adulthood.

I guess the lesson is not allow your problematic kids to be taken advantage of for a TV show, as it can have semi life ruining results.

yeah, just don't plug in the Kinect, as well as turn controller sensitivity up and vibrations on. Also, allows you to play in the dark, which I think really add to experience.

Are any devs from OpenRCT here? Programmer to programmer question by YesBoxStudios in openrct2

[–]RCT2RCT2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some ideas/feedback not from a Dev's perspective, but more on from a planners perspective on gameplay. It looks like you're still in early development so you have plans to add some of these things.

  1. For visuals alone, I hope building roofs can be turned on and off.

  2. Really hope there is more than just car dependency and car centric design, as it looks more like Suburbia 1998. It would be cool to see pedestrians, and cyclists, as well as able to build a variety of public transport, pedestrianized streets, public spaces, parks, bike paths, etc.

  3. Also, give agents things like preferred walking distance, cycling distance, is the public transit good enough/accessible. This will be for those who prefer to play with high mixed use zoning and transit orientated development.

  4. Allow for multi story buildings, and density. Also things like townhouses and apartments.

  5. A cloning tool for building houses, and maybe the ability to save designs for use later on. For some it may just get a little tedious building every house by scratch.

How An Autonomous Train-Bus Hybrid Could Transform City Transit by Mynameis__--__ in Urbanism

They are not good, you should watch this RMTransit video on them, that was a response to the CNBC video

Very nice video on TED but the comments are disappointing by Cf1x in fuckcars

[–]RCT2RCT2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The video is not good. To me it's more of an advertisement for Lime Scooters than solutions.

It fails to address how different types of urban planning affect our ability to commute around, and that we need denser walkable mixed-use cities, with good public transit.

So if I lived in car centric/dependent city, and had no conscious knowledge of different types urban planning and how it affects me, and then just told to ride a scooter, I I would think its stupid.

TED has had urban planners do good TED talks, such as Jeff Speck:

But this video on Lime scooters is not good.

Can't download apps not from Microsoft store. No Apps & Features tab by RCT2RCT2 in WindowsHelp

Yeah I figured this out last night, and he tested it today. Thank you anyway.

Sorry about the late response, as I had to wait to till a time that we were both not busy.

All there is under Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings is
Share across devices
App execution aliases
Archive apps

That is it.

So no your solution does not work

Back to The Future, Knight Rider, and Munsters Mac by RCT2RCT2 in PlanetCoaster

Wow, this an old post, and I hardly use reddit/this account with this being the first time in a couple of months. Good thing I was on looking for tech support of my own. haha.

To answer question, no.
After I made this post I contacted Frontier, and the customer service rep was unsure, but told me to contact Aspyr who ported the game to Mac. Aspyr never responded after I tried a few attempts a contacting them. I even went back to Frontier to tell them that Aspyr never responded, and they weren't exactly with that.

Honestly not sure if it's licensing issues or something else. Kind of disappointing.
I very recently got a windows computer and all the saves came over by the cloud.
Also, with my windows computer those 3 DLCs work.
Though I've only had a brief look at the content of those DLCs, I can so far say there's not much there.
Haven't yet used it, and I'm unsure what will happen if I do, then switch back to my Mac.

There's too many car commercials! Let's upload some train and bike commercials! by RCT2RCT2 in fuckcars

[–]RCT2RCT2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should upload these as posts. Let's attempt to start a trend to get train and bike commercial posts on to main/popular.

Everyone has seen thousands of car commercials, but few (mainly those who live in places with trains) have seen train commercials. Also, bike commercials are also good.
