There really is no solution for an aggressive rooster other than to either stay out of their way or put them down. In all our years of raising chickens, we only had one aggressive rooster. He wasn’t so bad if you didn’t get to close to him, at which point he would attempt to be nonchalant as he pecked and scratched…

This is why most backyard chicken regs prohibit roosters. They are a real handful — pretty much assholes by nature, so you can’t really hold it against the animal. Any home it goes to is going to need to be somewhere it’s legal to keep a rooster.

Birds getting you down? You can always visit Japan’s Bunny Island.

That guy needs to lighten up, he’s dragging down the party cocks!

Sadly, there isn’t a lot of behavioral modification you can do with roosters. If they’re bad, they’re bad. Fortunately, and contrary to popular belief, they’re quite tasty!

“3) If you can do physical work, get a new job. I have done this at different points in my life and I know plenty of other who have too. If you can’t find a job that pays $10+ reachable by bus, I can’t imagine where you live.”

I’d watch the hell out of a buddy cop-type show starring Nadiya and contestant Paul, where they find clues and give each other looks like this

Exactly. The second she gets a better paying job, she’s off medicaid but not making enough money to afford the health insurance policy needed to cover the medical costs. So you have to keep the lowpaying job in addition to other side hustles that she can do at home to to watch her kid, supplement her income, and not…

How great for you that you tried and succeeded. Others try and fail. Effort is not what is missing here.

I heard a story on NPR about money and intelligence. The more financial pressure you are under, the worse you do on intelligence tests. So, if you just got paid or received a windfall, you will do very well. The further away from a paycheck, or the more financial pressure builds up, the poorer you perform.

You’re a despicable human being.

I get my seasons mixed up because I watched them all at once, so I was upset Amir wasn’t hanging with Benjamina and Selasi. Then I remembered Nadia and Amir. I will never forget her saying she would rather give birth again than bake whatever challenge they had.

“I have a family of four” means two of them are her kids. One is a grandchild. And she counts herself, because she is a person in her family. Perhaps before casting aspersions about all the kids she’s having (which, I guess she had all on her own via immaculate conception with no man involved whatsoever because…

I hope it will be as soothing as GBBO and not some circus TV.

Are you able to save money on your income?

All of this is why economic policy is of utmost importance.

When it’s “struggling single mom” we are talking about, yeah. When it’s “the problems of the working class,” it’s still fricking coal miners and car assembly workers.

My grandmother used to kill the hell out of water moccasins with a hoe back in the day. My grandparents’ house was near a swamp, and you always had to watch out for those things because they didn’t always confine themselves to said swamp.

This would be hysterical if it weren’t so sad.

“It’s almost like I killed the kids now.”
