So what your saying is that one of the very tools that people used to protest, is now being used to perpetuate the very thing they were protesting?

Why am I not surprised.

This is also true, but that true across most industry in America at this point.

If pay is even across the board than why would one person want to toil in the sun vs sit on thier bum and deal with angry customers. Most pick the angry customers...

Even when the more manual labor jobs do pay well, a ton of people quit after a day or two, granted they're usually younger people who didn't realize what the job would entail.

To be fair a couple of states cracked down hard on illegal immigrants and millions of dollars of crops rotted cause there was no one there to pick em. The states reversed course pretty fast.

Americans are pretty lazy at this point, and I speak as an American.

Well that not fun...jeeze.

Yall had fun names. Ours was just ding dong ditch.

It's almost like you started reading this Time Article but never finished.

Or maybe this sciences times article

While the consensus is out about whether or not or attention spans are really shortening, most sources say whatever is going on, isn't permanent...yet.

We still have the ability to unplug and find something that's truly interesting to us, something that we care about, and focus on it. We just have to find it, and then, actually do it.

Recently I had a request to post a gif somewhere, and gifhy was the only thing that I knew was mostly legit. I tried directly uploading, but it didn't want to work.

Is there a better place, you'd recommend, to direct people to for gif uploads?

If a good friend or best friend tells you a ridiculous secret, don't under any circumstances, no matter how much time has past, no matter how silly the secret seems, don't tell it to anyone else, ever.

I learned this the hard way...it's usually a test.

I suppose, I was referring to places like a driveway or the yard.

After the rash of shootings where people were being shot at for parking at the end of a driveway or ringing the doorbell, all the gun fanatics started thinking they could shoot people indiscriminately, just for being on the property.

Around here, it seems like they never got the memo that, thats not the way it works. I have neighbors here in texas posting on nextdoor about how they've got guns and anyone who opens the gate to the yard or is going door to door, ignoring the no soliciting sign, is gonna get bullet in the bunghole*.

*yes, a bunghole is a part of a wine barrel, or whatever, and not someone's rear.

Hell, where im from, your more likely to get shot if you try this out.

They got guns and they too stupid to know that castle laws don't apply to the property outside the actual castle.

I'll take it as the lesser of two evils.

Good point.
