Having untold wealth is actually not that good for you in a lot of cases. Generally, getting everything you want all the time is not good for your brain.
Now that you mention it, I was a soccer ref when I was 15. You’re right, it probably varies by state. I guess “child labor” is a pretty broad term that could include delivering newspapers and processing chicken on a factory floor.
According to a couple news stories I’ve seen pop up from time to time, we have child labor in the US too. It’s not legal and the children are usually the children of illegal immigrants. Maybe it’s sort of the same deal over there i.e. desperate people doing desperate things despite the norm.
I’d also like to popularize the opinion that critical thinking, sentience, and intelligence don’t necessary make a species “better”. High intelligence is demonstrably helpful for world domination, but this is not necessarily an entirely objective improvement.
You think humans are the greatest? Have you met orangutans?

My old Honda just won’t die. I get an oil change every once in a while. And the battery has crapped out a few times in the last decade but that’s it. I hear safety features have come a long way so maybe I should upgrade just for that. I get the feeling that I’ll certainly miss the old Honda so I’m dragging my feet.
I’ve used Dvorak for years now (15 or so?). I find it far more comfortable for typing in English than qwerty. You don’t have to reach as much to type common words because all the common letters are on home row. The less common a character, the farther it is from comfortable use. And it has a nice bouncy feeling because you often switch hands after one or two key strokes. When I have to use qwerty, I find it very uncomfortable to have to “spider” around with one hand for clusters of letters as I type.
Now, the REAL downside of Dvorak in my opinion is that every shortcut, hotkey, and keybinding in the universe is designed for QWERTY layout. Playing a new game? Don’t forget to re-map every key except M and A! Careful not to miss any! Game doesn’t let you map a key to “comma”? Looks like you have to switch to QWERTY to play this game (and type in chat with it blegh)! Re-mapping is a huge pain and all the convenience of learning something like Vim is overshadowed by the keys getting scattered all over the place. I’m fine living with an awkward CTRL-C and CTRL-V, but for most people I can see why they wouldn’t bother.
tl;dr: DVORAK > QWERTY for typing in English, but it comes with annoying drawbacks
Cut it in half and serve with a glass of milk.
This is basically dessert.
Chili crisp and peanut butter. Good on rice and vegetables. Sometimes I add some teriyaki sauce or hoisin sauce for sweetness.

Same. I am available 9 - 5, but I tend to be actually working 10 - 4. It fluctuates depending on how badly management wants things. And of course there’s the rotating on call schedule where sometimes I have to wake up in the middle of the night to confirm that a service my team owns is impacted by some other service’s outage. FUN!
I am also here to rep Corpse Recover No. 2.
It’s very refreshing. Gin, lemon juice, lillet, cointreaux, and a touch of absinthe.
Hey be nice! And furthermore Canada is already burning anyway.
Aardvark Habanero and Renfro’s Habanero Salsa. I just really like habanero, okay?
