    From Article 19, Section 1 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, November 20, 1989:

    States Parties shall take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the child from all forms of physical or mental violence, injury or abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation, including sexual abuse, while in the care of parent(s), legal guardian(s) or any other person who has the care of the child.

    Sadly, the United States (of which Missouri is a state) has only signed, but not yet ratified, this Convention. Still, I think this warrants getting some international attention lest this becomes normalized again.




  • It sounds like you might like Kenshi. It’s also an open world game that has no real quests and is all about what you make of it. The UI and controls are a little rough around the edges and the early game is unforgiving (to put it mildly), but I’ve never played any other game like it.

    Imagine being dropped into a foreign world with different factions as a complete nobody and being a wanderer to the world.




  • We would probably have a better Supreme Court even if we had arbitrary requirements that make little sense but would be a better alternative to what we have now. For instance:

    • All Justices must have the name Horatio (either a given name or by name change). No last names.

    • Twenty years of experience required in horticulture, which because of the forementioned name change, is more like horatioculture.

    • Must have read at least 3000 books of any type.

    • Can juggle an arbitrary amount of oranges on demand.

    • Has combat experience in either blunt or bladed weaponry in the event of a zombie apocalypse, with a skill level scaled to their age. Alternatively, skilled in the occult and necromancy (to turn the undead).

    • Can create rhythmic song related to the laws being discussed in the event of spontaneous musicals.
