    That's probably true, but I'd argue that maximizing the life income isn't necessarily the best overall, you probably want to land somewhere in between Mist and Hollywood's actress daughter outcome. I'm pretty sure we want to teach our kids that money important, even very important, but that's...

    I'd try to avoid even mentionning the trust until they reach 23 or so. I'm no where near wealthy enough to setup a huge trust fund, but still my daughter will probably have between 50k and 100k when she's 20 (at this rate), it's nowhere near enough to set you up for life, but it's enough to...

    I'm in trouble with the pacifier, my daughter also turned 2, and also doesn't need it during the day, but at night she sleeps with half a dozen of them in her bed... She sleeps with one in each hand, rotate them while sleeping... pretty much a circus show...

    I'm not sure those fans really liked those 30ish years without any star players playing in the ligue 1. Sainte-Etienne was relevant before I was born, Marseille before I was a teen, and Lyon never had the money to compete. I wouldn't even say Lyon ever had any fan like Sainte-Etienne or...

    The PSG shouldn't be able to balance their budget. Hope they sell Neymar and get Zidane and Griezman instead.

    Well Zidane said he was leaving before Ronaldo, so Zidane leaving was probably a good hint that there wasn't a 4th CL in a row inc.

    Isn't Solo the least shitty of the current movie ? I was tempted to see it (well torrent it rather...) because it was said to be bearable.

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    I fell upon this review today Captain Marvel : notre critique sans spoiler du premier Marvel féministe - Pop culture - Numerama (french). So the 'top' of the movie are Brie Larson and feminism and the bad are the cat jokes. Now I remember why I can't remember the last time I went to the...

    Yeah that dude seems to be coming straight out of my youth. Fucking 18'ers.

    I still don't get why they wouldn't use Timothy Zahn work, 1-3 were horrible to the point that I torrented 7, and I have absolutely no curiosity for 8, I don't feel the slightlest urge to even torrent EP8. I'm really surprised that EP8 did "so well" in theater, the audience should really have...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I don't think the housewife has ever been the norm in history. Families used to be more extended than they are, and grand-parents, or other family member would take care of the kids while the parents would work, in an "unconfortable" environment it doesn't make much sense for a woman in her late...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Mine started at 6 months, 4-5 times 3 hours a week, pediatrician told us she wouldn't get much out of it at 6 months BUT if we were to put her after 10 months it would become harder to get her used to it. So we put her at 6 months a few hours a day, most of the weekday. It's true that she didn't...

    I think it depends how much daycare they're getting. I leave my daughter on average 20 hours a week at the daycare, and it's great. She just turned 2, and she already has a couple of friends. She clearly doesn't speak as well as the kids that spend all their time with their parents (especialy...

    I simply don't know anyone that didn't massively pirate games in the 80's 90's. No money was ever lost to the industry as we were spending already as much as we could, and the gaming industry grew with our wallets. I'm playing a tenth of what I used to play back then, but I sure spend 10x as...

    Likelyhood of getting shot at a concert in Paris probably isn't much different as the one of getting shot in one in the US...

    At 4.5 it's usually harder to have kids shut up than speak, the average kid can speak relatively coherently. That being said, one of my colleague's kid couldn't walk at 3.5 and end up top 2-5% of the students of his age, but not being able to hold a simple conversation with a 4.5 year old...

    Seeking 10 years for boundaries is a long long time. Finding one might actually save him from facing even more violence in the future, but probably not as the mother will tell him how mean his uncle was so he can keep snowflacking. Unfortunately a lot of parents are unable to set boundaries...
