Also, the main reason US politics is so dysfunctional right now is that it's one gigantic gridlock fabric of power struggles.

A bit of parenting advice I heard recently is "As soon as something becomes a power struggle with your toddler, there's no hope."

The actual underlying advice is simply that you should avoid getting into power struggles in the first place, it'll make your life a lot easier.

Well, I realized that this advice applies in the adult world too. Power struggles rarely have a peaceful or productive resolution.

Machiavelli's "The Prince" was never meant to be used as an instruction manual!

It's raining outside. Toddler wants to go outside. I let him outside under our awning, but inevitably I have to bring him inside when that's not enough.
Me: It's better inside, it's not raining.

Toddler: *Throws a tantrum*

Wife: What?
Me: You know, like 🎶Under the sea, under the sea!🎶
Wife: Lol. 🎶Stay Indoors, stay indoors!🎶

What is the earliest time you would wake up, rather than trying to go back to sleep?

If you are doing shift work, use the time that would apply if you had a day job (or no job).

Wife: My friend says a sample size of 91 doesn't make a scientific study. She's wrong.
Me: True, if you had a pill that successfully cured HIV in 91 out of 91 patients, then that would be highly significant.

The elites don't want you to know this, but you can buy claw machine rubber ducks wholesale, I have 458 ducks.
