@Tfmonkey @RoninGrey I had a wonderful RP interaction with my waifu today:
I came home and the floor was wet because she scrubbed it. She apologized for not timing the scrubbing better, but I magnanimously chose to enjoy the weather outside while she finished scrubbing.
I then proceeded to go to the kitchen window which is one story above the ground and begin speaking from the second scene of the second act of Romeo and Juliet, changing the language to be humorous and fit the context.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica Those of Tim Pool's classification of media persona provide a necessary outlet for people's frustration just like PACs which "raise awareness" without actually providing any solutions. I'm not saying that they're funded opposition, but I do believe people need to feel like someone shares their opinions.
This gives them something to make them feel like they're not a cornered animal so that they don't go full Timothy McVeigh; so, these personalities are allowed to continue.
@Xenophon @harrypotter I would ask what you mean by pagan, but I'll assume you mean the rebellious neo-pagans who read Cunningham's "Wicca" and are as surface-level as most religions' practitioners.
I agree that it is unfortunate that no one attempts to have truly theological discussions anymore. It's all just mundane internet shouting contents.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica Tim Pool's model is replicable because it is unremarkable and safe. He never provides any solution or thought which could be considered controversial or cancel-worthy. His opinions aren't insightful, and his analysis is surface-level.
@Autumn The facial expressions are priceless.
@Autumn I approve of this practice.
@Justicar I do not trust him, and I know nothing about him. Something doesn't sit right with me about this fellow.
@ButtWorldsMan I appreciate the snark. Someone needs to provide it, I suppose because I stopped caring enough to make such posts.
@Justicar This is in the UK, by the way, if that wasn't clear.
@Shadowman311 This is in the UK only, if that wasn't clear to non-UK readers.
While this does not take advantage of the division of labor as effectively as if you completely specialized in a single occupation and paid for everything else with cash, it did create multiple streams of income for the household. In cases where you grew things to sell, you would sell the S and A-tier produce, and use the B-and below for yourself.
Reflecting on my business made me recall something: Many of our forefathers and many poorer people today didn't just have one job or even two jobs working shifts. Most had an occupation at which they worked and their household did whatever it could to get more money or cut costs. For example, if you wanted some extra cash maybe your wife would flowers to sell in town to restaurants for their tables...
@Shadowman311 I'm looking forward to his discourse on foreign trade since he made such good points in this last segment.
@Stahesh It is better than clinging to something that doesn't work. This whole thing has taught me never to be afraid of opening a business. Just file the paperwork and start. There is nothing magical or scary about it.
@lonestarr Quite the find
After a few years of work, I have decided to close down my gardening, retail business because it's not profitable enough to justify the continued investment that I can spare in my local area.
On to the next endeavor!
Perhaps once my orchard becomes productive, I'll be able to have a market stall at the farmers' markets in the area instead.
@Gonzo17 Not since Coolidge have we had a decent president.
@Invictus We all live lives of crime.
@ButtWorldsMan I wasn't expecting it, but I'm not surprised.
