Creators on OF or any social media platform can't be compared to employees. They are more like suppliers.

Not discounting small farms at all. Honestly thought anyone on more than a few acres wouldn't shop at TSC unless they had to. But I'll admit I don't know a lot about that life.

Not surprised there are vastly more small farms than large farms, but what does it look like in terms of acres?

As bad as it sounds (in response to the "more than you might think, apparently"), it's not as if the stereotypes have much overlap.

I have a small farm supply in my area that makes their own feed and stocks a huge variety of brands. Their house feed is cheaper than TSC and my girls love it.

I only found out about it because I picked up a bunch of pallets to build a coop off of a guy who also raised chickens and we got to talking.

Rural general stores may as well.

I actually just googled "farm stores near me" and found 2 others that are still closed than either of my TSCs.

I don't think large-scale farmers are shopping at Tractor Supply. Outside of emergency situations.

However, rural homesteaders suburban "backyard farms" certainly do. And there's a lot of queer and allied gardeners and backyard farmers.

I was a junior in 2001. Had an elective history class that a lot of honors students, myself included, were in. This particular class was called "Holocaust", and it was basically German history 1930-1945.

That teacher was very easy to take off track. One day, late October, we got to talking about the PATRIOT act. I remember being totally in awe of how many people, my peers, were in favor of it, and didn't see it as a bad idea.

They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum.

It should be illegal to GET passed on the right.

Totally agree. If it's possible to pass somebody on the right, that person (the one being passed) is in the wrong lane for their speed.

I say that online and people get combative about it and throw out all sorts of insane scenarios like that changes anything. I still haven't seen one that makes sense.

It's amazing, really. Every time you see a pocket of congestion in the freeway, there's a sedan in the front of it, leisurely driving in the middle lane like they're the fucking president in their motorcade of one.

How come I don't see any high-speed balloon chases then?

But my BIL had to get a license to fly his drone and needs to get approval from the FAA to go over like 100ft at my MILs house because it's "so close" (like 3 miles in a straight line) to the airport.

The media itself is a fucking mess.

Take this, for example:

So a self-affirmed victim sends an email to a magazine. That email becomes a point of fact even though people involved either never confirmed it or straight up said it never happened.

This happens constantly. "News" is getting reported before or without confirmation. Shoot first, ask questions later, maybe put a blurb at the bottom a couple weeks later when nobody will read it correcting everything that was wrong.

Obviously the Clinton's wouldn't confirm it, but they've long since learned not to deny it either. Denying is nearly as bad as confirming, since it gives even a little more credibility to the claims, just by acknowledging its existence. Especially in this current political climate, commenting at all has nothing to gain and everything to lose.

Highly recommend the book "Trust me, I'm Lying". News consumers have to do their due diligence now and actually judge the sources of the news itself, even for sources previously thought to be reputable. The court of public opinion is all that matters, and it's judged by old and new media alike. Spez and Musk and Zuck are all as powerful as Murdoch, and they're the Supreme Court of Public Opinion.

And then you have shit like the Internet Research Agency flooding the docket.

Current court might decide it's a requirement. Look at Jefferson.

Although they might decide that it's not rape if it's a slave. Which might make 13th amendment interpretations interesting.

I thought the mid 30s nervous breakdown was just the next big adult milestone...drive, vote, buy tobacco, gamble, buy alcohol, rent a car, get married, buy a house, have a kid, have a nervous breakdown, get a colonoscopy, and then just wait for the clutches of death.
