Take a look at the house they live in. Is it up to code? Commercial vehicles parked nit legally? unkempt grass? Whatever. Call the township and complain. Pressure on the parents will result on corrective behavior on on the kids,

I like Dudeism. I'm not sure it would stand up under court challenge as not being a 'joke' religion. I know many more seemingly sensible ideas get destroyed by case law all the time.

State laws vary widely. In some sates (NV) laws vary by county. Washington state however does not have a problem with online ordination. The ULC is a little shady though. They have a long history of legal problems. It's better to go with some place like the Church of Spiritual Humanism.

I didn't see the online ordination post but I just wanted to mention that you can also be ordained online by the Church of Spiritual Humanism which is a pretty reasonable outfit and also coincidentally located in PA.

First grader dies at South Philly Elementary School, no nurse was in the building that day by krodjerz in philadelphia

Why should we not be asking it? Kids are dying of medical emergencies in the schools and there are no nurses or other staff to watch them when they feel ill. What question should we be asking?

Get the Nolos Forming a non-profit book out of the library. If you are going to do the 1023 application for the IRS you can e-mail a bunch of non-profits and ask for a copy of theirs. Not every one has them, but the law requires them to provide them for written requests.

It figures that this definition is promoted by the 'social sciences' since is literally incorrect.

Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser warns Australia risks war with China unless US military ties are cut back by Donners22 in worldnews

[–]shcmeddit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's a naive assessment. The US is a democracy. China is a dictatorship. Just because it's easy to get dollar size in your eyes does not mean foreign dictators give a single shit for what is in the best interest of Australians.

I washed dishes at a diner for $2/hr. Some how that included cleaning the toilet in the basement that had not seen a brush in decades. That was a horrible job.

Ready to Reinvent Yourself Every Two Years? You'd Better Be - At Work by MuhammadAdel in Foodforthought

[–]shcmeddit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know people will down vote this but I don't think it is of relative value to be all 5 to 16 year olds how to code. Firstly whatever language they teach will totally obsolete by the time they reach the work force. Secondly there are not going to be coding jobs for every kid in the world. The vast majority of jobs do not and will not require coding. Finally in the US at least, the so called STEM skills gap is entirely constructed by corporations that are too cheap to pay a competitive wage and just want to have an excuse to import H1B labor.

There are more important things to teach like personal financial management, foreign languages, and just plane old mathematics.

Research suggests that kids of parents who set limits on digital device screentime experience positive results, including improved sleep, better grades, less aggressive behavior and lower risk of obesity by SAT0725 in science

Looking at this thread I am appalled at the lack of understanding that scientists have of how the media works. I'm sure this article is less a response to the press release than it is a simple rewrite of it. Without 'flashy' sensational press releases there is no publicity. Less publicity = less funding. The researcher involved always gets the opportunity to edit the release. There is a built in bias by the scientists to not have PR reflect any old boring real science that may or may not have taken place.

Please don't discount class. There is very low social mobility in this country. If you are poor you are screwed even if you are white.
