  • Just tell him respectfully, sometime.

    As a parent, myself:

    • I totally don’t mind if my kids tell me they can hear me. I appreciate knowing our communication lines are open.
    • I am still going to continue having (probably still loud) sex in the house. Unless my kids fully paying a roommate’s share of the costs to run the home, they’re still kids, not roommates.
    • I’ll probably buy the kid some nice noise suppressing audio headset as a shopping surprise, sometime soon.














  • There’s a bag of parts I don’t know what to do with.

    Any leftover unused parts are worth extra points.

    At least, that’s what I tell my spouse.

    Maybe I got it done with fewer parts because I found a novel improved solution…

    Sometimes my spouse figures out what the extra parts are for… And doesn’t seem to mind that using the parts correctly lowers the score I dreamed up…



  • Or add more competition to the market by having government provide cheap alternatives to food/shelter.

    That’s the solution I think all civilized nations will land at, plus universal basic income.

    So everyone has an option for effectively free (since their UBI covers it) water, food, shelter, and transportation. But standard free market sources can compete to outdo the public options in any ways the public desires.

    There’s plenty still to do, since anyone invotating can outdo the public option, and make some extra money for their effort. While, at the same time, no one has to be quite as dragged down by an aunt with failing health who cannot work, anymore.

    And any mega corporations that try to force everyone into closed lousy situations have to at least compete with the public option.

    Of course, any mega corporations allowed to thrive will immediately try to kill off public options, which we do already see happen.
