I work on a small farm and am treated well but my understanding is that the big farms that supply the grocery stores employ almost exclusively underpaid temporary foreign workers (TFW). A lot of the farms that sell at farmers markers also employ underpaid TFWs or idealistic young people who will work for food, a room to sleep in, and a $50 a week allowance.
I chose to do it. I like it. I have a good boss who pays well and gives me a lot of freedom and flexibility. The vast majority of farm workers aren’t as lucky.
I work on a farm. Where I live (in Canada), farm workers don’t have the same rights as other workers. We don’t even have to be paid minimum wage.
Pokemon or Sailor Moon. Movie, probably the first Pokemon one.
I have a basement where I swear it’s 10°C colder than upstairs.
So many movies and tv shows lately feel like they were written by ai.
I’m Canadian in a place with a decent amount of snow and it’s cold for like six months of the year. I love summer.
I do live near a popular cottage area so the downside to summer is all the asshole cottagers who tailgate aggressively if you aren’t driving 30km/hr or more over the speed limit.
Pirate metal is fun and silly.
I never finished resident evil 7 in VR.
Plastic wrap, but a freezer bag with the air squeezed out would work too.
A guy on Tinder sent my friend a Patrick meme that said “Is mayonnaise an ice breaker?” I, a big Spongebob nerd, told her to pick that guy. They’re married now.
I like to buy discounted old lemons. I wrap them up and toss them in the freezer. They thaw ugly but are still good for cooking.
My doctor prescribed taro-mometasone (I think that’s how it’s spelled?) and it worked like magic. None of the other stuff worked. I tried Head & Shoulders, then Nizoral and Neutrogena T-Gel, and I don’t remember what else. It was so bad that it was clumping and scabbing and my hair was falling out. I struggled for a year and then my doctor gave me that thing and the problem just vanished. It came back once a year later and then never again. It’s been several years.
I worked at a pizza place in high school and we actually still had those carbon copy credit card things for when the machine wasn’t working. I’m too young to have seen them otherwise.
Lol. Blocked? Oh no! I’m never going to talk to this asshole again. ):
Someone is an asshole for accurately describing an adhd symptom?? Lol. I have adhd and my most debilitating symptom is zoning out. You are actually insulting adhd people AND trying to claim moral superiority. Hilarious.
I taught that banana joke to my kids recently. One of my greatest regrets in life.
I got a couple from the google play books store. You can download the mp3 and play it anywhere you want, but it’s just one long mp3 file with no chapters or anything (maybe that’s how they all are?)
When my mom had to poop as a kid, she had to stand on two planks of wood and squat over a hole in the ground, out in the open. I love my toilet.
I don’t really know how to feed everyone without TFWs either, to be honest. They really are so much better at this work than any local Canadians I’ve met, myself included. And people are only willing/able to spend so much on their food. I’m paid better than most farm workers because my boss is idealistic and willing to pay himself very little in order to pay us more and sell at a price regular people can afford, not just wealthy people. He can only get away with paying himself so little because he lives in an off-grid cabin and I’m pretty sure his parents are rich. It’s a nice job for me and we do feed quality produce to people who normally couldn’t afford it, but it’s only about 200 people. Places like this aren’t going to feed all of Canada.
I hope you get your farm one day, though. It feels good feeding people.
Editing just to clarify that I don’t think it’s okay to treat TFWs like we do. People need to be paid and treated properly regardless of where they come from.
