We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that.
We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs.
Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

When the kid is out there with the rifle, they vanish or are behind cows. When it's just me feeding the goats, they are right. There.

Krampus is overrated, my favourite Christmas characters are the mob of bird cultists and the Christmas Baphomet.

At least one of the ewes is not pregnant, as evidenced by Emmylou being in raging heat earlier this week. Bateman is not capable of doing the job, as his legs have not healed enough yet. So today we got this guy. He's called Kevin, I think the ewes like him!

I'm beginning to think the reason goats heal better than sheep from meningeal worms is because sheep WILL NOT stop trying to run, even if that means dragging their back half kicking behind them.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.

Anyone can become disabled.
Anyone can become chronically ill.
Anyone can become homeless.
These are not moral failings.
They can happen in an instant, often when you least expect it.
It just takes one accident or illness to change your life forever.

The sheep just... don't go in the barn? I haven't even seen them going down to eat hay in ages. Yet they continue to be fat and happy in the far field. I guess I picked the right sheep.

I can FEEL the babies in there. They're all knobbly. No sign of Champagne releasing the hostages any time soon.
