Nah, you did bad research. 🤨 But I do like that video. That's a henley, henley definition: A collarless pullover shirt, characterized by a round neckline and a placket about 3 to 5 inches long and usually having 2–5 buttons. It essentially is a collarless polo shirt.
Country clothing is usually very simple, practical. Like the henley. It is a far too convenient piece of clothing to be owned by any one group! 🙂 I don't like henleys, I love henleys. Just don't wear it in combination with a dumbass cowboy hat. 😂 Or camo. 🤢
I am country enough, and I know exactly what you guys are talking about. But I also want to point out rough, dry hands are weaker & the smarter blue collars try to soften their hands a little. I was working on a combine, and a bolt broke & I ripped the fuck out of my palm. 😂 My dad said, it wouldn't have hurt nearly as bad if you lotioned your hands. Supple is strong! Advice that goes back millenia, Aesop's Fable The Oak Tree and the Reed. Similarly...the smartest guys that really care about their trucks keep them clean. Clean trucks last so much longer, and better; dirt & salt & even bird shit can lead to corrosion.
I know plenty of country folk with a rust bucket truck & they're happy. If it runs, whatever. Or they run vehicles around in the woods after dark & I see them posting like HAHA I broke down or got stuck!! What a CRAZY, fun adventure I'm on! No thanks, I don't like expensive repairs or wasted time. Or horrific accidents, or premature death.
Non-frothing conservative checking in, there is indeed a nuance not unlike what you said. However. I think some of that comes from past experiences, precedence. We know charity & people-driven initiatives are powerful! Can be effective. Government-driven (/taxpayer funded) initiatives? Incompetent. Often wasteful.
Like all the billions to Ukraine, Google says it's "over 75 billion" and I thought I've heard $90B in the past. How much has actually hit the front lines, been ACCOUNTED FOR and USEFUL? I've heard $30B. 😔 That is (/was) our money, and we've got plenty of problems at home.
We do care about helping people, in a sensible & straightforward manner. A hand up, not a hand out, to bring about actual positive change. There is accountability. People help people. Governments help themselves, to your bank account & fruits of your labor.
Some might say this is...exclusionary. Biden said he'd go, idk, maybe he just forgot. Hard as that may be to believe. Even worse are the people who openly say, "East Palestine is conservative, they probably voted for Trump, they don't deserve aid/let them die/etc". Truly despicable talk, un-American & partisan.
Idk man, I don't claim to know everything. But look, I brought some receipts. Just some things for you all to think about. Please know, the government is not your friend.
Recycle them. It's a bound collection of cellulose (and some ink); cellulose can be upcycled into other paper products. Like insulation, attic blow-in, boxes, etc.
Trashing it is trashing a resource, which sounds worse than it is in reality. It'll rot & decompose nicely in a landfill.
Burning books...SUCKS...take it from me like it takes FOREVER and it burns page by page, you have to stir it constantly.
Finding a recycling center is so much better for the world, and easier for you. Win-win.
Well, the writers are probably progressives. 😅 They're not just going to pop out & be like, "WE, the progressives, love to feel superior to others. We bask in our smugness!" There might be a call to shame others that don't partake or view them as less than, but this one is free from that.
I just came to say, I'm just pretty sure that terms like "African American", "Native American" came from the goddamn US Government. This isn't a case of people defining themselves; it's the conquerors & enslavers that look at them & say, "We have decided this is what you'll be called now". These labels are so stupid & lazy/disrespectful, even inaccurate at times. So of course it makes sense that they originate from the government.
I genuinely think the owners, rulers of the world enjoy separating us into different categories, highlighting our differences, and making us fight & bicker amongst ourselves. It makes us weaker, more divided, easier to manipulate & control.
Pro tip from a fellow rambler: before submitting a lengthy, in-depth, top-tier comment. Highlight some text. Hit 'Select All'. Copy. That way your shit isn't lost & your time isn't wasted. 🙂
The internet wants your honest, detailed opinions. That's how we all learn! 😌
