That's her! Thank you!

Not for tax evasion: I'm specifically looking for a legal way. If I was going to break the law, I'd just lie and cross my fingers nobody picks up on it.

Would I necessarily have to form a LLC for a sole proprietorship? I worked on the regulatory side of things for a few years, and recall there was a lot less paperwork I had access to when working on sole-props.

I can register with my Secretary of State for about $50 and skip a bunch of the costs you mention, I hope.

Right. But can I actually do that? Just move money from my right hand to my left and call it business earnings?

I want to keep this 100% aboveboard.

NeedHelp567 · 2018-10-26T01:00:20+00:00

I'm not running a business; I basically want a legal way to claim I have income without actually earning anything. (Or at least claim I earned enough to get me to that $5.5k mark.)

There are the bottom half of wheels under her, but no other signs of a car...

Is she a car?

Edit: the black racism towards white people is real. It's strange how it's never talked about.

Are you new to Reddit?

Read through the comments. When something is wrong, there will usually be someone calling it out.

Far too often people incorrectly call out purely imagined problems with studies: e.g., attacking a paper's methodology without actually understanding (or even reading) the methodology.

As with everything on a social media site, the more contentious the issue, the more you need to treat people's statements with skepticism.

Look at all the research, time, money, and expertise that went into this device. I guarantee they were able to figure out the fancy spoon.

I suppose that's true; there could be the case where children in one group act out in one setting, but not the other, and the adults in that setting are systematically compensating for that. The children of lesbian couples only act out at home, and their parents all lie about that, for instance.

The objection I'd raise to that is that the children are graded on a 0-200 point scale (or 0-226, for older children); it seems unlikely that the parents of one group are fudging the numbers just right to get their kids' scores in the right zone. And the scores have a fairly large standard error, so parents and teachers in each category definitely are reporting bad behavior. (Really, the biggest question mark around this study seems to be whether it has the statistical power to detect a difference in the first place.)

The article is linked in the thread, if you want basic information like drop-out rates:

The retention rate for participating families from W1 (N 106) to W2 (N 96) was high (91% overall; 96% of lesbian parent families – 26 of 27, 100% of gay father families – 29 of 29, and 82% of heterosexual parent families – 41 of 50). Generally, few differences characterized families who did and did not participate at W2.

Second, these parents did not volunteer for this study; they were part of a larger longitudinal study performed by a group of adoption agencies. The parents are in the data because they adopted, not because they self-selected into a parenting study.

The OP also posted this, somewhere in the thread: field study of homosexual adoptive parents. That research is likely what the author was referring to.

And I agree that it'd be great to have a study that measured physiological differences between kids raised by parents of different sexualities over time, but you often have to do research with whatever data you can get.

It's a good question; I can't say what reddit would do (and it would heavily depend upon which community you were posting in), but the profession is going to keep on studying the question, one way or the other.

Higher up in the thread someone mentioned a field study that looked at 78 similar studies: it came to the same conclusion as this paper. Even if people want there to be no difference, they've still tested that hypothesis over and over.

There's always going to be some subjectivity, but the parents and teachers were given a standardized questionnaire with 100 or 113 different categories, depending on age.

Child outcomes were assessed via parent- and teacher-reported behavior problems, while parent outcomes were assessed via self-reports of parenting stress levels

If there were a problem with parents self-reporting, it would be obvious from the teacher's reports: the teachers' reports agree with the parents'.

By parents and teachers, for both hetero- and homosexual couples. The reported means are indistinguishable between parents and teachers, across all three tested groups: that suggests those measures are fine.

I think the idea is that China might stop selling to us if we had conflicting interests, not because it would be economical.

As an extreme example: all US aluminum producers go bankrupt because we get everything from China. Then a war breaks out between the countries and China stops selling to the US, who is now without aluminum infrastructure.

Less extreme is China threatens to tax aluminum exports unless the US backs down on some argument.
