Is it true that toilet training is taken so seriously in America that some parents begin toilet training soon after their child’s first birthday?
Got that from The Culture Code. Curious enough to ask you 👆🏽
reply
It depends on the situation. I do know for a fact in taiwan.....they dont care. They leave the toilet training to the school, usually starting around 2 to 3. The parents dont care. In america, parents care and have to get them toilet trained to get them out of diapers and into school. Schools wont accept kids that arent toilet trained.
reply
I confess that I think it is unnecessarily punitive for preschools to reject toddlers who are not toilet trained. And yes I see it as the role of the preschool since my child spends most of his time there haha.
I wonder if this nonchalance is a Chinese thing. Let me investigate.
reply
I dont think this is right at all. The preschools should be able to reject your kid it he/she isnt toilet trained. How else has the kid not learned discipline? I think it is just a culture difference. In America, teachers arent caretakers.

lol they kinda are.. The schools in America was created to take education out of parents care(so they can collect 2x taxes on women working) and into the government care to train robots to work.

Erm so my boy is 5, but he is still wearing diapers. With the help of his preschool, he is able and willing to walk up to the urinal if he wants to pee. But he has rejected my wife’s and my suggestions to poo in the toilet bowl. I don’t know if he is far behind his peers in Singapore. I’m a bit concerned, but I don’t really care. All in good time haha
reply
It works well if you move his toilet into the bathroom and just go together. Just give him lots of water, and go to the bathroom every 30 mins. Also, dont use diapers. He needs to feel that he wet himself. I know it is a lot more work, but he needs to understand that feeling.

This is not a crime, I recall when I was super young peeing on the bed. Maybe I was 4/5 at that time. Who hasn't done this at least once? But with training and encouragement, you'll get more from your boy. Don't ever make it a bad experience, because this could have negative effects on him growing up.
Just try again, and encourage with treats? I don't know if that works? For animals, it does, but I'm not so sure for babies.
reply
Lol. What animals do you keep?

maybe, you have him, watch you ...do no.2. Just a suggestion!

I don't have any currently, but when I did. I had a dog. I encouraged them to do it outside by explaining it in a soft voice(at the scene of the crime), and let them know it's wrong. I think dogs understands and after repetition they get the clue. Hitting isn't necessary, because this can have negative effects on you as well.
reply
You sound like a calm n composed individual. 👌
I hit my son lightly on his wrist once. He went to complain to his wife. I never hit him again. Haha
reply
Because I was beaten, and neglected growing up. We had a family dog, I got angry one day because I was locked out from the house after school. I forgot my house key and was in elementary school. I started to hit my dog, Lucy out of frustration.
Because everyone in my family hit me. I saw the fear in her eyes and have never hit an animal and person since. It took a long, long time to get over that. I am at peace with this now, I can't deny it still hurts. When I hear OLD OLD folks call it discipline, I punch walls and tell them the next one will be in their face.
You should start training as soon as they can walk. So usually around one year in. Not that it will be successful, but if they are able to understand sitting down to use the toilet, it helps.

There is no technique. Its just persistance. Take them to the bathroom every 30 mins.

So, my friend living in Sydney just said that preschools there also reject children (3-5 year olds) if they are not toilet trained. This toilet training thingy could be more widespread than I have expected!

Hello, today's entry will be divided into two parts, neither coherent nor related to my life like the previous ones.
The first of these parts is Happy Children's Day, remember that it doesn't matter whether you are already adults and have your own children or you are only ten years old, it is your holiday, after all, someone gave birth to you.
The second part of my statement is the fact that my friend gave me some reflections due to his outrage about the new conditions for using Windows or something like that, I haven't turned on the computer for weeks, so I won't say anything about my statements, usually from my phone. In fact, the level of data we share during our lives is simply staggering as we, Internet users: to register a phone number to activate it or to contract for the Internet, the consultant and service provider need our identity card, and then to use the Internet and communicate with the world, we set up several dozen accounts and accept various consents, we still send tons of photos, videos, multimedia, text information that is on someone else's servers, which in theory are protected by law, but in practice it varies, in addition, we often leave activity statuses turned on, thanks to which we can even determine what time we fell asleep on a specific day because we we hardly share our devices in the package depending on the person, we mark the places where we are, we give opinions, we keep family photos on the clouds, sometimes from less comfortable situations. In practice, the only thing that remains private are our sexual acts, and not necessarily when we pay for rubber bands, contraception or pregnancy tests in a store with a payment card or cash.

We could change zap impact to be log100(amount) rather than log10(amount). I like that idea actually.
reply
Might not this lead to the even more low-sat posts teaching the top of the front page?
If the impact of the a zap is reduced in a posts rank, doesn't that mean the other factors will play a heavier role? So a post with many comments but few zaps becomes even more likely to reach the top of the front page in relation to a post with higher zaps but few comments? (Or I could be completely backward on this).
reply
Increasing the relative value of comments seems like a win -- generating conversation seem like a great example of adding value.

No, I don’t think so unless I’m missing something.

Yes, if zap impact is reduced, other factors (mostly trust right now) would have a higher impact.

The impact a zap has on ranking.
Stackers would have to zap 10x more to have the same impact on ranking that they currently do.

Does this mean that the few stackers who zap 100+ will still have more power to influence? You'd better think carefully about the consequences of this change.

So you want to keep giving a fraction of a penny and feel like your vote counts for anything?
On the flip side, I have absolutely no incentive to keep commenting or posting on this site. Why gate keep all of my data, content, and money for a couple pennies a day.
Just include to it when someone just downzaps your post for no reason! Even though, your post had accumulated 1k sats, it would languish down to the bottom.

Downzapping isn't required.

When asked your Name

You will be asked to give your name, however what they are trying to do in court is for you to accept the name of your “legal fiction” or “corporation”.
If you refuse to give your name, then they will record that you did not turn up to court, and put out a warrant for your arrest.
However, you can proceed by letting the court know that you are there for the matter associated with the name, and they can call you by a name of your choice. Furthermore, you will notice them that you reserve all your rights.
Note: Court protocol dictates that a “defendant” or “respondent” can be addressed the way they choose.
These two titles have different meanings, as follows:
  • A defendant has accepted the claim or obligation and is now “defending” their position.
  • A respondent is “responding” to a claim but has not accepted the claim or obligation.
For example:
Court: “Are you Mr John Henry Doe?”
Respondent: “I am here for that matter, you can call me John and I reserve all my rights.”
They may persist, so you can reply as follows:
“I am unable to give you my name, as I would be without name; however you can call me John as I am here for that matter.”
Addition: “I am the responsible party in due course for that account.”
Meaning, that you are the “creditor” to the “debt” or bond, which is “for sale”, and are therefore the “account holder”. This plays into the constructed trust which is most likely operating within the court.
If you are pressured to give your full name, or accept a full name, by the following questions:
  • “Give me your name?”
  • “What is your name?”
  • “Are you (John Henry doe)?
Reply: “Could you define the meaning behind the name as written on your paperwork?”
For example: Are you referring to either:
  • A private natural person or
  • A corporation?
If the court is hesitant to answer, you can follow up with a question as follows:
“Are you asking me that question to entice me into an immoral contract to purport to act in person as a corporation through a crown created fictitious corporate name?”
If the court becomes belligerent and is going to declare a verdict that you have “not attended” court and then put out a “warrant” for your arrest, you may have no choice but to reveal your name, however state the following:
“You can call me John Henry Doe; however this declaration is not acceptance of any obligation, jurisdiction or contract and is not to be applied to the following”:
1. A Corporation. 2. An implied company. 3. A constructed trust. 4. A Dead Entity. 5. Legal Title. 6. Legal Entity. 7. The last name is not a surname but a family name.
You should then question the court for the source of the name.
