Also, dairy farmers are not close to urban centers. ALSO, those days when the average dairy farmer had less than 1000 cows and was the actual person milking them are Looong gone. Not even many organic dairy places are small.

more seriously there's too much breathless reporting on the Vatican, which treats it like American politics
it isn't. it's more like Italian politics, which are infinitely more chaotic and weird

Parenting is risky business, you have to balance the traumas you inflict. Sometimes, it's best to leave the traumas for them to deal with as adults.
"Curvy old man toenails he has to clip religiously as an adult" vs "i didn't have to make my baby cry" is a just trade

34% of Americans are completely sure they would never be sent to the gulag, apparently because they did not go to high school history class

Too many people think unidentified law enforcement will not kidnap them bc "they are citizens" and are frankly shocked when i tell them it DID happen to citizens at BLM protests

It's funny bc ALL of the conservative Christians i know are strictly anti-AI, like supremely suspicious of any social media/iphone/computer use for kids below the age of 18. I cannot imagine this will sit well with them.
I cannot adequately express their fervent revulsion

There is no more powerful resource than church friends. I even contact friends who are members of other churches, they always take care of any problem.

You made me imagine communal pregnancy tests in public restrooms, the kinds with the stalls and doors that don't reach to the floor. Be sure to wash your hands after each use.

MS-13 is a cautionary tale that the US gov insists on ignoring. It's had much more devastating impact in El Salvador than here, came from our gov imprisoning immigrant youth with US gang members who taught them the ropes. It's like a Black Mirror episode--enrages me. St Oscar Romero, pray for us

What i have been told: if you start sucking on zinc lozenges as soon as you notice symptoms, it will reduce the length of time you suffer
In my experience: maybe? That's harder to quantify, but it does help my sore throat and i feel better sucking a vitamin than a regular cough drop

A return to pre-1900 business model will eventually end with the same labor violence.
This has all been done before, DID NONE OF THEM LEARN 8th GRADE HISTORY??

The real problem with "free trade" was/is that it doesn't allow for freedom of movement for labor. If the labor force were allowed to move as easily as business, corporations would never have succeeded in their strangle hold. Free trade is good if we also allow free will of workers

The only people who were well off from the creative work of their hands were either independently wealthy or sponsored by aristocrats.
However, if someone is interested in sponsoring me, i am v creative
