This was an interesting read. I know, though, that at the time there was a lot of interesting debate among indigenous nations about whether US citizenship was a desirable goal. On the one hand, it can confer some real protections and benefits, like Crook being able to bury his son in his homeland (from which he was forcibly removed). But on the other hand, I know that US citizenship was also viewed as an incursion on tribal sovereignty. See the “debate” section of this Wikipedia page for more info from about 50 years after the story of Crook: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Citizenship_Act

I used to know a guy who would regularly say “si” instead of “yes” in English conversations. He also wasn’t Spanish/Hispanic. It was super confusing because I thought he was interjecting to see “See…” instead of just responding affirmatively.

My brother, have you heard about the benefits of diversification? If you want to retire at all, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

So it’s kind of like a real life Food n’ Stuff?

In America, a handjob is called a “Handy”

And South Korea circa 2018. Unclear if South Korea circa 2024 will be a positive or negative lesson.

Yeah, the title could have easily just been: “Supreme Court upholds ban on emergency abortions in Texas” and it would be way clearer

Honest question: how does this work for corporations? Does that mean a particular employee of a corporation holds the copyright, or can the corporation itself (e.g. Disney) as a legal “person” hold a copyright?

Russia?

I went to a hipster restaurant about a decade ago where they served fries with a shot glass full of chocolate milk shake on the side for dunking. It was really tasty ngl

Except french fries

If/when your kid gets sick (like with a cold/cough), there’s very little that you can do. Most common medicines aren’t approved for kids under 2. Consider buying a decent humidifier which can at least help keep their mucus more liquidity and help their breathing at night.

Every kid has different challenges that will really push to your limit at some point. Some kids have difficulty sleeping, some have difficulty eating, some have speech delays, some have gross motor delays, etc. You don’t always know what your kid’s particular difficulties will be but just keep working at it and do your best.

Start reading and singing to your kid as soon as their born. It’s a great bonding activity and it’s great for their brain/language development. You don’t need a ton of books, you don’t need to know a ton of kids songs, just do whatever you can.

Check out your local library (if there is one). There’s usually lots of programming for young kids. They don’t just have books, but sometimes also toys and other activities that you can check out. It’s also a good place to meet and socialize with other parents.
