My dad was born in Eastern Kentucky in 1916 so grew up in the same era and region. He knew a guy that married a 12 year old and the guy confided in him that the first day he came home from work after getting married he found his wife playing with a doll. He felt bad, and of course he should have.
Even that marriage was considered bad back then, and this 9 year old of course is about as horrible as can be imagined.
It can be actually. People upstream of water sources - often wealthy people with land but sometimes a collective of local farmers - build dams or retaining ponds to save the water for themselves and on a significant scale can limit the amount of water that goes downstream.
Give him the slow blinks… I’m sure it will work.
Not everyone is the same. We aren’t all motivated by the same things, we weren’t all raised the same way, we weren’t all damaged by the same things and we don’t all think the same.
When you assume everyone thinks the same way as you, you’ll misjudge a lot of people.
Exactly. This guy working to 65 because he’s been tricked, not because he needs to.
Dude, most of us would stop working if we could, and those that would keep working would only be doing it because they enjoy it. Nobody’s getting tricked into working longer.
