Let’s see what requirement in parenting skills/knowledge are in order to have kids.
Requirements to have children:
-
Functional gonads.
-
P in V sex.
-
Not quite 10 months incubation time. (Yeah the 9 months is a lie got repeated several times the last few weeks before delivery by my wife).
Welp that sums it up: No parenting skills or knowledge required.

Back a long time ago I ended up in meetings with Mount Olive. There I met one of the plant managers in North Carolina. He gave me a tour of the pickle plant. Of course between the sound of the equipment, his gnarly thick southern accent, and the giant wad of chew in his mouth, I have no fucking clue what he said.
Oh and don’t eat the relish. Seriously just don’t. The things I saw that went into the relish…

It was designed so that wealthy landowners could attend sessions more easily. Just like the u.s. senate does not represent the population, but the land area. The writers of the national and state constitutions were almost all wealthy landowners.
In my opinion, given the size of the population and the complexity of the economy, full time politicians who are paid very well combined with draconian anti-graft laws are needed.
- Comment on It's great to see a politician that's progressive and Not a Millionaire. 6 days ago:
Most elected positions don’t pay enough in the U.S. today. This is expecially true in state legislature where most politicians start before attempting a national run. The only people who can afford to run for underpaid positions are either independently wealthy or corrupt. For example let’s look at some of the most corrupt states in the U.S.
Texas - state senators & representatives $7,200 salary and $221/per diem when in session.
Louisiana- senator and representatives $16,800 + $178/per diem and $6000 slush fund.
Utah - state senators and representatives $0 salary and $301/per diem.
Nevada - State senators and representatives $0 salary and $130/per diem.
This lack of pay for positions is deliberate to keep “working class” out of government. It lead to open corruption and conflict of interest being normalized.

Your coworkers called it out but you did not. So the aggressors thought “you are fine with it.”
Social nuances are difficult to manage. When social ribbing goes to far you have to learn to set limits.
The key is to show that you are displeased with their behavior and address it immediately.
“What the hell, not cool.”
“That’s an asshole thing to say.”
“That’s not necessary.”
“That’s inappropriate”
Non-verbally you can just give them a stare, then frown, and slowly shake your head. Treat them like a naughty child getting in trouble with the teacher.
Once you communicate your limits, it sets boundaries for them to be comfortable with.
If they don’t stop. You can get much more aggressive.
“Just a moment, my lawyer wants me to write down what you say as soon as I can for the harassment lawsuit.” Said with a big innocent smile, this scares the shit out of most people.

South America looks at both and snorts… “You call those mountains!!” These babies are started with the breakup of Pangea and are still growing.
First time I was flying into Santiago, I was amazed when we hit 3,000m and looked way up at the mountains out the window.

Like in other places, the sailors introduced non-native species into a closed ecosystem.
they introduced other animals, including dogs, pigs, cats, rats, and crab-eating macaques, which plundered dodo nests and competed for the limited food resources.

Slight modification.
For SS the employer and employee pay 50/50. So the actual number is double that.
If they lifted the cap the person making $5,176,000 would pay $731,369

If what I want to buy is under $200 and locked up, I usually go to another store to buy the item. I am not waiting for an employee to show up and unlock $200 item.
It often only takes a few months of huge losses in sales for the shelves to all be unlocked at a store.

Those are pretty decent results.
When I went to college my net worth was $0.
10 years later after college my net worth was -$45,000.
- Comment on Phew that was a close one 5 weeks ago:
My wife is a teacher to teenagers (high school). She gets called mom on a regular basis. Especially when she wakes one of them up from a little classroom nap. It happens often enough the kids don’t even give each other a hard time.
Now when they call her grandma… She doesn’t find that endearing.

Brings me back to how we sung a song in grade school. Edit out Ears with Balls and you get:
Do your balls hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you swing them over your shoulder like a regimental soldier? Do your balls hang low?

- Comment on Unexpected item in the bagging area! 1 month ago:
Shifting the bonus compensation to long-term performance instead of “this year or even this quarter” is surprisingly very difficult. People are trained to game the system. It’s how sales forces operate in most companies.
It doesn’t matter what system you implement, somebody is constantly attempting to figure out how to maximize their profit at the cost of everyone else.
The more money involved, the more convoluted the games are.

The moron cut a critical organization when a major threat was known to be migrating north.
The agency needed a massive influx of resources for an expanded effort to control it this year.
No the root cause is not his fault, but his dumbass decisions the the fucking morons who voted for him are absolutely at fault for the shitty response.

I personally like where Olev Vinn went with it.
Recently, paleobiologist Olev Vinn has suggested that the great filter may exist between steps 8 and 9 due to inherited behavior patterns (IBP) that initially occur in all intelligent biological organisms. These IBPs are incompatible with conditions prevailing in technological civilizations and could inevitably lead to the self-destruction of civilization in multiple ways.
- Comment on Extremely common red dwarf L 2 months ago:
I personally like to believe that life is not rare because life fucking finds a way and all that.
Intelligent life is likely not rare. On our planet there are several species that might be considered intelligent like elephants, whales, dolphins, covids etc.
Intelligent, extreme tool building life at a detectable technology level from space is extremely rare. I mean seriously, humans have only been detectable from space for less than 125 years out of the 400-500 million years with large multicellular life on this planet.
We developed the ability for a global extinction event from nuclear warfare 80 years ago and we are currently on pace for a global climate catastrophe in the next 200. At the current rate we’ll be lucky to be detectable from space for 200 years.

My ass and legs disagree after a gander latched on to my ass and beat me with his wings when I was a kid on the ranch.
Next time he came at me, I had a baseball bat. Roasted gander for dinner.
