They do employ people who might not be able to get a job elsewhere, so not evil, just halfway shitty.

Hey, at least they employ people who might not be able to get a job elsewhere. Goodwill does anyway.

Everybody I know knows what BFE is. Ask around.

It does make sense. It's hyperbolically saying it's so far away it might as well be in Egypt.

Perhaps you and a friend could pretend to be a couple? Doesn't matter their gender or sexuality.

Where it was "owned" by native peoples. Even though they didn't think of it the way we think of that term, it was their land.

I need to move to Central or South America. I would love to live like that but I can't stand the cold. This past winter just about did me in mentally.

It's just a dream though. Got family that I love tying me down here.

After traveling all over for work, having freedom to somewhat set my own schedule as long as I meet deadlines, I know I would lose my mind in a traditional office.

There's not much I hate more work-wise than sitting around after the work is done so you can get your hours, because someone on the crew thinks that's more moral than leaving and they're a snitch.

The pressure to get it done now now now. The overwork. Ignoring safety regulations because they're fucking annoying.

Don't get it twisted. There were plenty of people who were against slavery but still deeply racist. There was a big movement among abolitionists to send all the black folks back to Africa. That's how Liberia was founded.

From historical anthropology and studying modern hunter gatherer groups, I believe the current consensus is that these people work or worked between 20-30 hours a week. Please correct me if there is more recent information.
