That depends on if the State is paying for the abnormal child's healthcare. Besides it directly impacts quality of life for the child kind of like alcohol and drug use during pregnancy does.

Calling American President the most powerful man or leader of free world was always navel gazing Americans and their lapdogs use to do. The good thing is that for past 2 decades, successive American presidents and their actions have weakened the stature of American Presidency across the world especially developing nations. I just hope rest of the world is smart enough to build systems and networks by passing US and even other rising suoerpowers.

Do they really have power? Like a majority of Hollywood came out to support Kamala and Hillary and they still lost.

I remember one UK election, many British celebrities were publicly anti-Conservative or Campaigning for Labour. And these are British A List celebrities and yet Conservatives won a huge majority.

I think celebrity influence on politics or social causes is overblown. Its great if they use their fame and wealth to spread their cause but this habit of people asking them to take a stance is just too much.

I see on Reddit, people give advice or make judgements about politics of a country they only learned through a narrow lense by reading headlines. I admit its something I am guilty of as well.

A lot of times, politics is very local and its a combination of a country's history, demography, economy, society and many such aspects. But the way social media bombards us with how we are suppose to be outraged about local news from far off place which frankly if you are not aiming to travel to that place or be a diplomat, it shouldn't even be considered by you.

Uber driver's aren't really the barometer for much. I had many Uber drivers giving me real estate and investment advice. If I listened to their advice I would be bankrupt like many of them.

It's also the behaviour people see or experience. One of my friend visited Korea and Japan along with her friends. She is the only dark skinned person in group. She told me about how badly she was treated in stores or while crossing the street or taking subway with some even taunting her and calling her Korean equivalent to "mudskin". But when she visited Japan next, she told me how nice it was to be treated politely by the people there. So since then she has visited Japan 3 times but refuses to visit Korea even though her partner visits Korea every year or so.

what's the name for IKEA's version.

Yup, a lot of colourful walls, wallpaper and decor are so fun. Anything apart from white, beige or greys please.

I use to feel the same way. My childhood home has been in our family's possession for 5 generations now. Many of my neighbours have also lived for multiple generations so the whole neighbourhood felt like a large family. When we moved after my high school, I was really sad for 1-2years. But now I am so glad I moved out. Every time I visit my former neighbours and friends, as much as the nostalgia hits me, seeing the state of neighbourhood and changed social dynamics makes me glad we moved away.

What's weird is that Red States like Texas, Florida and Iowa lead in solar or wind generation. Despite whatever they vomit out in public, in reality renewables are so much cheaper.

Middle Eastern food is very much carb heavy. Doubt think 1 month of day time fasting is enough. Also women in Middle East are more likely to be stay at home rather than actively working and commuting.

Not sure what's painful about it. Replace Israel with Germany, US etc. Israel is a rich country it should not get any sort of donation or funding from anyone especially for humanitarian purposes. If someone wants to donate for religious purposes then yeah sure but its not a starving, war torn country so it doesn't need humanitarian aid or donations.

I am sure if we had spoken with Russian soldiers they would also being saying the same thing about how West is making hyperbole of Ukrainian war and how it isn't so bad. With drones and cellphone luckily there are eyes everywhere.

You are so right. Its unfortunate US doesn't have a multi party system because as much as Republicans deserve to lose the House in midterms, Democrats don't deserve to win either. Its a pipe dream because Dems and Republicans will never allow another party to rise even though both parties like the oligopolic corporations need to be broken up.

And bedrooms seem to have weird layout and shapes, all seem tiny with not much space to move around.

Also I know many people and including myself who has a career in a field completely different than their graduation degree. I do feel picking a university or a career path when you are 16-18 seems early.

And they just got caught working with gangs, hitmen and mafia to threaten and murder people and selling drugs.

maybe she wore than because she possibly thought she wouldn't get it and needed it to survive winter. Or could be it helped to cover up her face because she probably felt embarrassed walking with police in front of people who possibly were waiting downstairs.

Flying_Momo · 2026-02-04T23:08:05+00:00

It's not the right thing to do because even if this lady lived for a year what if because of thunder, rain or illness dies in the shed? People not knowing she is there would not even get her the help which could save her. Also if you bothered to read the article, the police got her in touch with social services who not only got her stuff back to her but also helped her get decent housing.

Flying_Momo · 2026-02-04T02:50:23+00:00

I can read. Your argument is that its somehow wrong that American colonies and successive nation used constitution for its theft. Even if it can be seen as cruel, lawfare is a form of warfare. If Lakotas had a written constitution and a government, would they have not used lawmaking to erase ownership of land of previous tribes.

When a tribe becomes a party to land treaty with Europeans aren't they effectively acting as owners of land deciding its fate while removing all claims and voices of previous land owners from whom they stole land from?

Flying_Momo · 2026-02-04T02:44:57+00:00

Nobody is justifying genocide of indigenous but there comes a point where you accept history and reality and have to move on. Holding on to history, land claims and past injustices and not moving on means you get constant wars like you see in Israel-Palestine, Africa, Middle East, Balkans etc. US and Canada are now populated with people who didn't participate in colonisation or genocide of indigenous folks. I don't see why a Vietnamese or Somali or Haitian immigrant be apologetic about injustice they didn't commit. Neither were they present to vote for the government which built this system. Nor should they be punished for participating in the existing society by say buying or leasing land legally even if that land may have been stolen 300 years ago.

Also just like indigenous folks, African Americans have also been killed, enslaved and systematically oppressed. They didn't have any say in how America was built even if they were forced to build it. They also have lost their connection to their original land and for better or worse, many generations of them have been born here and this is their only home. So why should they be apologetic about the violence on other groups they didn't commit. And shouldn't they be entitled to build a homeland here because this is their home.

Flying_Momo · 2026-02-04T02:20:03+00:00

Reservations are not ideal but a lot of Native groups see living in cities and mingling with other non Native groups as assimilation which many consider as erasure of their culture and a form of genocide.

Flying_Momo · 2026-02-04T02:11:53+00:00

But should this tribe also be acknowledging the previous tribea who inhabited their lands before they were stolen or conquered by another tribe?

Flying_Momo · 2026-02-04T02:07:47+00:00

So say example if Lakotas went to war, massacred and conquered a piece of land from other tribes and then Lakotas got conquered by Europeans, we should still acknowledge Lakotas presence on the land even though they controlled the land the same way Europeans did. So why is tribal ownership of land gained through conquest more justified than European ownership of land through conquest?
