  1. Lol thank you.
  2. @TwiceHorn Further, semantically, it sounds like the term "Industrial" farm doesn't mean owned by corporations or trusts or non-operating land owners, but that it refers to the massive private family held farms: https://www.fb.org/newsroom/fast-facts
  3. I don't know. You are using land ownership as the metric to identify, but I don't think USDA does: https://modernfarmer.com/2018/06/by-the-numbers-state-of-the-independent-farmer/
  4. Sad that he was rightly fired (note, not "cancelled" but justifiably fired) for being an abuser, because he's a very fine actor. Not sad as in it was an injustice. Also, I was making a joke that the above was informing the other guys opinion of an abuser getting a second chance. I actually agree everyone should get a second chance in life, but acknowledge it's a pretty disgusting crime (domestic abuse).
  5. I think what you are missing is that the concept of a "farmer" is way different in reality than what we grew up thinking. The Iowa State guy can share, but like 80% of farms are owned by massive corporations at this point. They are high-tech, software-driven, autonomous drones and tractors and irrigation systems that rely on a handful of whitecollar tech-enabled guys and an army of Guatamalans doing grunt work for $.17 on the dollar. The small farms who aren't attractive enough to have already been bought out by big farms struggle to make a middle class living doing yeoman's work. It's truly a tragedy what's happened to farms/the farmer. But hey, PROGRESS!!!!1111
  6. I, too, thought Jonathan Majors was the lone bright spot of the MCU multiverse decline and was sad to see him fired for being an abuser, but not sure that this opinion will be well received.

    Getting old sucks

    I felt this in my soul.
  8. Were exactly is 'round here? I assumed you were in Austin but now I'm thinking you live in South Jamaica Queens.
  9. geeeeeeeeez. You aren't wrong, but you paint a very dreary picture, Van Gogh.
  10. So Sheryl Sandberg was a grifter and abuser. Didn't see that one coming and what she meant by "lean in".
  11. Cheap branded pens YES! I'm knee deep in my credit union, the local ortho, and oil change pens in every room of the house. I don't think I've ever purchased a pen.
  12. It's so stupid and breaks my brain to think about anyone wanting to use this. But obviously there is a market for it or they wouldn't have rolled it out. Which makes me weep for our future that Gen Z have been so conditioned to order processed foods at 3x the price because they don't want to leave the house.
  13. This. Propaganda has been rotting brains of Americans for a century. What we got today ain't nothing new.
