Hot take. Child labor can be a good thing.

The trick is to not exploit them. But a job, a couple hours a day, can build a whole lot of character and life skills. It feels good to accomplish things with tangible benefits.

I think the problem is that capitalism has no regard for child welfare, hence children in coal mines and meat packing plants. But a few hours after school, once or twice a week, in a job that won’t maim spirit or flesh? Hell ya.

One of the most rewarding jobs I had as a teenager was a “waiter” at an old folks home. Get them water, condiments, etc. just generally be around and helpful at meal times. Twas a perfect job for a teenager.

Ya gotta pickle and dehydrate. Last time I had room for a garden I got the preservation and storage down in my last season.

Buy a dehydrator, never make jerky in it, you’ll never get the smell out. Works great for beans, onions and carrots.

There’s not much besides lettuce and tomatoes you can’t pickle out of a temperate zone type garden.

I was eating well well into winter.

I could be into that. A good pickle is something to behold.

Right? I want a shower with one of those fancy fold down cedar chairs

I leave mine on the towel rack and listen to tunes while I scub

In retrospect civ games were just primers for factorio. The factory must grow.

I’d gladly donate to a trump memorial provided he puts it to use immediately. Big ol gaudy headstone, gold leaf, Jesus statue, the works.

Such a helpful kitty! My can used to need to be on the keyboard.

I’m outta the loop on horse meat. Do I even wanna know?

Oh it’s been tried, ty tho

Lol, Titicaca. Will never not produce a chuckle from me.

I’ve used vlc since the stone ages. However recently (on mint) it’s been opening two windows, one for the video and one for the player. Doesn’t matter which boxes I click in the settings. Super annoying

I never got the all the hate for imagine dragons. They’re not the best, but they’re hardly offensive. They’ve got a couple of songs I don’t mind. It’s not like they’re creed.

The band wookie foot. They’re notorious for having the worst sort of obnoxious, dirtbag hippy fan base. Think unwashed, larcenous, and somehow still smug with the holier than thou attitude. Partying with them is like partying in vegas. One night is fun, anything past that is just a slow descent into hell.

Diplo is some douchbag dj. Think eurotrash party music.

Hey! We won Iraq. All that oil is now under us corporate control.

Never did find any wmds. A few hundred thousand dead.

But hey, look at them stock prices, not to mention all those sweet no bid defense contacts. I’d say capitalism won the day there.
