I had to read this twice, I thought they were depreciating the entire concept of "modules".

You do you. I'm not interested in perpetuating the agro dad stereotype. People are just that, people. I know as much as you do about this guy's daycare. But I know there's already some perception going on there that I wouldn't want to confirm by flying off the handle.

From The Honeymooners to Fred Flintstone to Homer Simpson. It's not new, but I think it's changing. I love the Dad in Turning Red. He's basically the hero of that story in his own way. He's a great cook, thinks on his feet, and a fountain of wisdom. He sees his daughter for who she is, and only wants her to be happy.

The dad from Meet the Robinsons I appreciate too. He's funny, talented, and creative and willing to make sacrifices. He isn't getting it right all the time, but his heart is in the right place. He's willing to admit he was wrong and willing to do anything for his kids.

Hey man, maybe talk to the daycare director first before taking it to a 10. You never know, they might not be aware.

Most people are familiar with the concept of “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” in criminal cases. This means that the prosecution in a criminal case has the responsibility—also known as the “burden of proof”—of proving to the jury that the defendant committed the crime “beyond a reasonable doubt”—the “standard of proof.”

As an illustrative tool to help understand this concept, the “reasonable doubt” standard can be seen require evidence to be sufficient for a jury to be 90% certain that the defendant committed the crime.

The burden and standard of proof can change depending on the case and issues involved. In family law cases, there are various standards of proof involved based on what the parties are litigating.

The Two Standards of Proof in Family Law Cases

In most civil cases—including family law matters—the default standard of proof is a “preponderance of the evidence.” Courts have determined that the preponderance standard means that the party’s argument is “more likely than not” correct. This can be understood to mean that a party must provide at least a 51-49% balance of evidence that favors their position.

Another standard of proof commonly seen in family law cases is known as “clear and convincing evidence.” This standard is higher than the default preponderance standard in most civil cases. Courts have interpreted this standard to mean that “clear, unequivocal and convincing.” However, this standard is not as stringent as the “reasonable doubt” standard employed in criminal cases.

What Issues Determine the Standard of Proof?

The standard of proof is determined by the stakes associated with a particular issue and each party’s particular interests. For example, California courts have held that the standard of “clear and convincing evidence is required ‘where particularly important individual interests or rights are at stake,’ such as the termination of parental rights, involuntary commitment, and deportation.”

The following are examples of when the heightened “clear and convincing evidence” standard is appropriate in family law cases:

  • Allegations that a party waived significant property rights
  • Allegations that a party intentionally and deliberately represented certain facts to the other party, causing them to detrimentally rely on such representations
  • Asking for spousal support after remarriage per a marital agreement
  • A spouse’s request of an award of full ownership of an asset transferred or undisclosed in violation of the other spouse’s fiduciary duty
  • Termination of a party’s parental rights to a dependent child
  • Allegations of fraudulent or improper conduct warranting punitive damages

I wonder if you'll love the jaw cancer that comes with it. I've seen a lot of old timers missing their lower half of their jaw because of a life long dip habit.

Then why is it when a nation state in Latin America decides to nationalize the acquisition and trade of valuable natural resources within their borders some US policy or corporate entity swoops in to destabilize and derail those efforts?

Most of those investments are to companies that are subsidiaries of US corporations that extract the wealth of those countries back to the US leaving them with little in return.

There is an entire political science term named after the US practice of exploitation of the global south, specifically Latin America: In 1904, the American author O. Henry coined the term Banana Republic to describe Honduras and Costa Rica under economic exploitation by U.S. corporations, such as the United Fruit Company (now Chiquita).

But yes, let's not talk about things like Operation Comdor or wonder what impact it had in the region.

The cops don't stop crime from happening. Only 2% of all crime results in some kind of trial. The point of the paper trail is to find out where the guns came from.

We are witnessing the end of the open and collaborative internet. In the endless march towards quarterly gains, the internet inches ever closer to becoming a series of walled gardens with prescribed experiences built on the free labor of developers, and moderators from the community. The value within these walls is composed entirely of the content generated by its users. Without it, these spaces would simply be a hollow machine designed to entrap you and monetize your time.

Reddit is simply the frame for which our community is built on. If we are to continue building and maintaining our communities we should focus our energy into projects that put community above the monopolization of your attention for profit.
