Well no, it's more specific

It's about whether or not the rational for families is immediately apparent, at the moment where you make the decision

Wait what family structure is more optimal?

as long as you arent acting on mindless whims

If you didn't know the statistics for single parent households, what would your rationale be for keeping the family together?

Extended families are better than double parent households?

@>_ extended

What if your mom is dysfunctional and you don’t want her around your kids

You should read some of the stories from cultures where there is no concept of monogamy so the fathers have no idea which kid is their's, so none of them give any shits for any of the women or children in their society

That's a specific scenario

Like the Arche people in Paraguay

But you'll more easily take care of dysfunctional family members with pooled resources

```Bejaro-the-killer was really mean. Really really mean. He came back from hunting and heard my brother crying. My brother was crying a lot and wouldn’t shut up. Then Bejaro slammed him against a tree. He slammed him and he was dead. My mother was crying when my father returned from hunting. My father didn’t do anything. He was upset. He didn’t do anything. He was really afraid of Bejaro-the-killer. Bejaro was really strong. ```

In either case

That anecdote might be sensationalized bullshit like a lot of anthropology is though, so take it with a grain of salt

Not to mention how non-monogamy tends to end up with a society of harems which results in angry violent men, but that's getting a bit off topic I suppose

Most polls will be closed in 7 hours

First polls close 4 hours

6 more hours in Florida

when do votes get counted?

I believe that they generally start counting the moment the polls close.

what polls close in 4 hours?

Polls in Florida are open till 7pm local time (FL has 2 time zones) so even in eastern time zones Florida still open for 5 hours

mine are open until 8 i believe, so 6 more hours

Maybe some east coast states only stay open till 6pm?

idk

unless someone didn't set their clock back

they have exit polls and other things that they count

This seems helpful for the hours: https://ballotpedia.org/State_Poll_Opening_and_Closing_Times_(2018)

6 more hours in Florida?

Nice

@>_ Just remember that FLorida crosses 2 time zone (eastern and central). Polls open till 7pm LOCAL time in Florida
