You are reading that right, from sea to shining sea there’s a push to get a 14 and 15 year old children to serve grown adults and their liquor...

Anyone who has worked in hospitality, restaurants, or bars, no full well why 14-year-old girls should never be around intoxicated, older men. It’s not because the girl might take a drink and sneak something, quite the opposite. Bars are a breeding ground for sexual harassment and harassment in general.

Young children at that age should not give me the responsibility of serving intoxicated adults their wine slushy’s simply because of this idea of a ‘worker shortage’.

we can debate back and forth over whether "our ancestors" would think we were soft for living in luxury or be delighted that their descendant lived like a king but i think we could all agree i could make a Venetian spice merchant ca. 1400 cry by showing him how low spice prices are

its so silly but i just keep thinking abt being in norway and seeing for the first time kinda ever that like governments can do things to make peoples life better. for no other reason but just to improve things. like im sure norway has lots of problems i didnt see on a trip but i cannot stress how insane it was that the government had done things because it would be nice. to take care of people. ?????

would you spend $15 - $20 on a request like this 🐐

i don't feel comfortable doing proper commissions (with colors, going back and forth), but i want to try doing some paid-for requests, basically :D I was looking for some pieces that i could as examples for how my sketch requests would look like and i realized i never draw singular characters, it's always 2 interacting with each other, drawing one character standing awkwradly is harder for me than two i guess 🐐

Something I always wonder with the whole: "The lazy populous doesn't want to work!" is if it's only being said to keep minimum wage at the very, very lowest end of 'survivability.'

The "lazy worker" isn't truly a problem. The employers are.

after deducting the cost of materials (charms, findings, the little display cards they go on to) and, hell, even rounding it up an extra 20% for such things has "had to buy a £2 pair of pliers once"

right

after deducting that and being generous with it

i get paid roughly £165 per hour for labour making earrings. i'm serious. £5.50 for two minutes of work

Hear me out: Those "the sun was yellower when I was a kid" conspiracy theorists? Yes, they should probably see a therapist, even just once, just to be sure they can get the help they may need, but

BUT!

The lenses in your eyes yellow as you age. They start off more transparent, and by the time someone is 18, 25, 40, especially when someone doesn't wear sunglasses or UV-protective eyeglasses, they've literally been UV-damaged and gain a yellow tinge.

This is a problem enough that, when I worked in an eye doctor's office for a few years (ABO/NCLE for all of em, 'natch), we were taught about this phenomenon.

It was a problem enough when someone who was older would get a cataract lens replacement (which are usually done one at a time, to avoid simultaneous complications or infections that could lead to temporary blindness), they would notice the hue difference between their new lens versus their old foggy one. Even if they only had one cataract and the other was clear (in that case you still get both done, one after the other, but start with the clouded one), the tone difference was noticeable.

Here's my hypothesis: when some of these people were younger, there was more *contrast* between sunlight and known light sources, like a specific brand of fluorescent lighting fixture in their home or similar. As they age, their lenses yellow, leading to less contrast between "blue" and "yellow" (cool or warm) colors, similar to wearing Hunter S. Thompson yellow aviator shooter shades:

When everything is tinted yellow, nothing is.
