Pro: Every match is meaningful. That mid April slump where your club drops 6 points could be the difference between a poor year and one where they get relegated. End of season matches between the worst clubs will get spicy. It allows smaller clubs that punch above their weight to earn better competition. Who wouldn't want Forward Madison in the top USL club. Who wouldn't laugh their ass off if Louisville got relegated.
Cons: How will this affect the CBA for relegated clubs. Does this create an arms race where the most monied clubs succeed. I'm not sure how USSF Professional League Standards will have to be amended to allow a small club in small city exist at the top of the pyramid.
Overall the cons are limited. It definitely raises the value of current League 1 clubs because they are 30 something matches away from being in the Championship. Potentially this will create more news interests and hype. It creates a meaningful difference from MLS other than not being MLS.
Wow, so paternity determined by DNA is insufficient to determine a child isn't a man's progeny in Sweden? Further, there is no recourse in the event of the wife's infidelity without the actual father stepping up? That feels like an unjust trap.
Towards your actual question, in the US it's not automatic. Child support is almost always a consideration for adjudicating divorce if minor children are present. Unwed mothers would have to seek support through the courts if the father refuses.
Does bring up the question of paternal rights in cases where the man does not want a child. He can't have an abortion like the woman if she doesn't want the pregnancy. Definitely a hard thing to balance and be just in all cases.
Social media is supposed to be the digital commons. Without a dislike button, then the media cannot be a commons. You go to the town square and start spouting offensive bullshit you're going to get the proverbial rotten tomatoes thrown at you, mockery, and getting shunned.
With only having a like button, Twitter amplifies the message of bad actors and encourages rage responses. That's the point though isn't it? Engagement metrics to sell rage at a discount instead of the whole normal population buying a post with dislikes and moving on.
Correct, I got my account invite from The Screensavers show with Kevin Rose. They were giving them out randomly to viewers.
Typically, volcanic eruptions have a cooling effect. One of the principle emissions is sulfur dioxide which reflects high frequency solar energy (green house gases absorb and convert that same radiation into longer wave energy which excites atmospheric gases).

Too many comments commenting on Ivanka's perceived attractiveness...the point is this cretin sexualizes his own daughter. Show me a father who does that who isn't a disgusting pile of shit that should be exiled to a swamp. These people see women as objects, not people with agency.
Very thoughtful and measured response admin. Thank you for this. Given how you follow topics and people on Mastodon, I cannot come to a reason why Threads will be bad for fed.
I see it as a win, not because of meta and people using it, but because it'll introduce more people to federated services. If Threads takes off and Twitter continues to circle the drain, I can envision the National Weather Service (NWS) and weather spotters transitioning over. There is literally no chance of that happening now, but Threads might be what overcomes that inertia.
I was pretty close to filtering Threads from my feed because the topic had been beaten to death with some patently immature and paranoid discussions, I'm glad I didn't.
Wow. I want that so bad. And the fact you use Dukes tells me you are a chef of refined taste. I need to stop by my butcher and see if he has chicken skins, I never stopped to consider what they do with those to sell the abomination of skinless, boneless breasts.
