Your opinion is perfectly valid. The main expectations I am driven by are to provide the child with adequate resources to thrive, to not neglect the child, and to give them a good footing to navigate this life. I'm not…
Or the fifth state, colic. It can last for months and the child will cry every waking hour. The binary flag is stuck 'on' which in my experience set every family member into a meltdown so you'll get no relief, because a…
I think it's ok if you don't find joy. Personally I had a very involved father and supportive partner. I understand my duty and am fulfilling it with full acceptance and gravity, I just keep this one piece of…
Once you experience the other side, outside of a psuedo-anonymous forum you're not really allowed to have the other opinion, and you'll quickly learn to shut up or 'lie' or become a hated pariah. It becomes a bit of an…
Meh I mean it's true for some not others. I had a kid and never particularly found the richness and depth emotional feeling. Of course if you express the opinion you find parenting to be basically another duty you must…
I was no "real" soldier but due to some weird circumstances I fought in a war. The difficult part of returning home is everything is so low stakes, the freedom to ride around on a Hilux living by your wits and a rifle…
What I really care about is healthcare, childcare, education, owning a home for my family, and good food. How are my wages doing against that? Everything but food -- downhill.
I love this quote, and suspect the lack of wisdom was referring to wisdom to be a good steward of the public resources rather than their infinite wisdom in finding cunning and deceptive ways to plunder it.

I mean the US effectively outlawed an arguably most versatile of all vehicles for vast spaces of US, the compact truck, which fits somewhere in the middle of vehicle sizes. I suspect most of those people had to move to…
The only reason why an SUV is economical for me is I'm pillaging sedan and small car owners by making them pay my share.
>decades because the only force acting upon carmakers is the desire of the car buyer. Trucks, and perhaps some cars also got bigger also because of fuel efficiency regulations (CAFE) that require a larger footprint if…
Privatizing all roads would ironically probably be the fastest way to cut down on oversized vehicles. Nobody wants to pay a quadratic weighted toll on the GVWR of a bunch of extra SUV, but when they have to pay it all…
Yeah I bought some extremely cheap property through a realtor and felt I made out like a bandit vs through a lawyer or dealing with that shit myself. Realtors want to charge a percentage? Cool story bros, I'll burn out…
It was worth it for me when buying cheap land. Since it's percentage based the amount was quite low; cheaper than a lawyer and I had a license to use the realtor association buyer contracts and connections to helpful…
You pay the tax to have someone fight it anyway, with a side of dealing with a police apparatus so powerful you can only hope to run from when they turn against you in violation of civil protections.

Feds got a search warrant for me because an unnamed dog I never met accused me of wrongdoing and told an unnamed officer who told a named detective who told a judge. The bar is low. Sounds like they need an imaginary…
I was not intending to make that case. Negative real interest in our real life reality where the better off have better access to credit nearly certainly hurts cash based poor by making homes etc cost less in real terms…
An electric range for $60 goes a long way. Hell when I was homeless I used a portable gas stove that even works on siphoned gasoline, and packs up in a bag about the diameter of a cellphone wide, hardly ever needed to…
Yep. It's using the fed to reallocate money from the inflated cash based poor to the credit rich home owner. Home owners are basically using government induced negative real interest rates to regressively tax…
I have no idea. For instance does France require special flight clearance after taking antidepressants even for non-psych gastrointestinal issues?
