I mean, they definitely weren't actively farming 365 days a year, but they still spent most of the remaining time working. Amongst other things, these are people who had to spin, weave, and sew their own clothes.
The Silmarillion is all about how a Noldor can invent anything except therapy.
There's also UNAVOIDABLY poop in milk, because a cow's udders are right next to the anus, and anyone with familiarity with cows knows they spray when they poop. You clean the udders before milking but it is impossible to clean thoroughly enough.
TBF, this has been proposed many times as a balancing measure while making the overall immigration process less byzantine.
The obvious, uncomfortable truth is that many employers don't want to be barred from hiring undocumented labor.
The knowledge that he was Middle Earth Satan's hot twink minion honestly does add a lot of flavor to Sauron. Bless Tolkien for doing it.
I am once again begging modern leftists to read up on Milwaukee's Sewer Socialists, the most successful socialists in the country's history. Cheerfully unglamorous bureaucracy is how you actually bring change!
I don't know why I'm so surprised he has a perfectly normal little chirp. I imagine the man with a baritone.
My single most traditionally conservative view is that gambling is a vice and society should make it hard to do.
What a handsome man!
Ma'am that is a grown man with a job.
Add to this baristas, bartenders, fast food workers, etc. If you're ungrateful to the people who bring you little treats, you shouldn't be permitted in public.
I'm my cat's third human. First owner developed a severe allergy during pregnancy, second owner had family issues that interfered with giving him proper care. He wasn't broken when I met him, he'd just been unlucky.
If a cat has the manual dexterity to puff a cigarette, they can also use your keys. Cigarettes are the least of that cat's humans' problems.
I read a lot of Anne Rice in middle school, and also all the Pern books, and was simply left with an understanding that sometimes authors have interests that you, the reader, will bounce off of.
It does kind of blow my mind when parents are told to monitor. My own parents saw my right to read what I pleased as sacrosanct.
My immediate thought is that perhaps both ends were pointed to allow a hunter to stick the spear in the ground while waiting for prey to come close to an ambush location, rather than need to hold it.
I have a theory that the two types of musical acts most likely to attract a crowd at a Wisconsin farmers market are a) polka, and b) ant Mexican style influenced by polka. Wisconsin craves the oom-pah.
working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"
He even comes front loaded with an incredibly cool nickname. I mean, the KHAN? Insanely good.
That's the thing that makes me think that there's really something to the extinction burst reading of our current crisis. See also how none of them will just flatly deny Trump being in the Epstein files. They know they're not untouchable. They expect consequences.
You can try to reach MAGA on religious grounds, but I'm afraid that right now they aren't listening. They refuse to see anyone outside their own narrow little worlds as their neighbors.
The percentage of Wisconsinites who have danced a polka unironically is a lot higher than out-of-staters might imagine.
As someone who qualifies for their stupid metric, I firmly consider myself less American than any person who just went through their naturalization ceremony. They earned it! I was just born here.
I wish I still believed in hell so I could feel certain they'd never evade punishment for this. This is the behavior of monsters.
This is how I find out that my state (WI) can fine you for even offering to tattoo a minor. Though I suppose a $200 fine isn't necessarily enough to truly dissuade a determined influencer who wants a tatted up kid.
Pierced ears are generally seen as okay since piercings will ordinarily close up if the child subsequently decides they don't like them. IMO it's best practice to wait and use it as 'baby's first big bodily autonomy decision', but it's not child abuse.
He looks like a cat who may have given the hay a gentle test nibble. Just in case. Donated in his honor!
If the average conservative Christian was like Phil, the world would have a much fonder view of Christianity. I don't agree with him on many things, but I trust the guy to remember the humanity of others.
My suspicion is that too many people have copies, and there's no way to quietly dispose of them.
It fascinates me, because you'd really think they'd have just manufactured fake evidence. Instead they've created a giant flashing neon 'Trump is guilty' sign.
