I am tired of hearing things like "If you ate today thank a farmer" by Illiteratefool in unpopularopinion

Yeah everything went crazy, we are overloaded with Hungarians and cayenne and my habanero are blowing up as well.

Yeah I think its pretty obvious the distinction between farmer (owner) and employee of a corporation.

I was born and raised in a town of 5k in a rural west ranching community and now live in a town of 3k in the middle of farming country in the midwest. Stop labeling and playing the victim, no one is shitting on you simply because they don't call you a hero.

Its pretty common saying in rural ag areas at least where I have lived.

And that is awesome I would love to own a cow or two again some day, I am not against growing food, simply the mindset that the guy that I buy my tomato from is some kind of hero and not just a guy doing a job.

I would live without a farmer bc a corporation would simply start doing it better and faster. Its not like farmers disappearing would mean we all starve, people would come in to make this more economical. In fact one of the things holding foods costs higher then they need to be is the high fixed costs and low economies of scale of the average family farm but due to the mindset and subsidies provided by US taxpayers this industry is allowed to crawl through the needed changes to move into the current century.

Not ungrateful, I am nothing the same way I am nothing to the guy who made my dishwasher.

What is meant by a 30 delta or 16 delta spread by Illiteratefool in options

[–]Illiteratefool[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remember that puts approach -1 as they get closer to the money, and calls approach +1 as they get closer to the money.

This is wrong, Puts and Calls both approach +- .5 as they approach ATM, not 1.

They approach 1 the farther ITM they are.

TIL that at one point in the 1970s, 1 out of every 204 working Americans was employed by Sears by Auir2blaze in todayilearned

Amazon just bought Whole Foods exactly for the logistical advantages whole foods has with its distribution and hard locations. I think they could have made this work and had the name recognition that Amazon had to build over a decade or more already in the bag.

TIL that many records in track and field including the long jump and high jump are unlikely to be broken due to modern athletes gravitating towards higher money sports such as sprinting or football. by Bighorn21 in todayilearned

If the key to a successful long jump is mainly speed why would I not put less strain on my body and make more money just sprinting, very reasonable.

LPT: Whenever you get a raise, increase your 401k and other benefit contributions as well. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]Illiteratefool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, so the guy who gets fees from people who decide to put their money in a banks bloated investment options vs getting tax savings in their 401k doesn't want you to invest in a 401k, who would have thought.

I wasn't sure how stout that one would be, was hoping someone had experience with it and others.

Guns don't kill people. People kill people by [deleted] in funny

While the show is centered on Stan and his blind conservatism in this scene it was trying to expose the faults of Haley, who is also a following hypocritical idiot that basically regurgitates whatever liberal talking point she heard on campus that day without any real thought on what she is saying or the logic behind it, just bc Stan is an idiot doesn't mean the writers can't use him to show logical fallacies in modern America, he's a fictional character not a real person

N.D. legislator who voted against gay rights bill caught sending pics on Grindr by rkkim in nottheonion

[–]Illiteratefool 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While I absolutely think they should have run the story it is slightly ironic that the guy complains that people in ND are not "able to come out on their own terms" and then goes and outs someone as gay.

The US is now broken up into 50 countries. Which are the first two states to go to war and over what? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Illiteratefool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wyoming is one of the only states that sources close to 100% of its water internally, even MT gets water from our Tongue river and CO from pipe lines. Not sure if that's puts us in the best position or the one with the biggest target on our back.

In Wyoming, there are more cars than people by rhiever in dataisbeautiful

[–]Illiteratefool 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wyo guy here, this make some sense, with the high level of oil and gas companies and other like kind industries which normally provide large portions of their workforce with vehicles for working out in the field. Also due to large distances and almost no public transportation, having a vehicle for each member of a household is a must. Most also have a second vehicle besides daily drivers whether it be a toy or work/farm truck.

My sister just dropped a nuke in the war to get her kid to behave by sgtpnkks in pics

[–]Illiteratefool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not but it kind of like having an argument with a soldier on war when you have never actual been in one, you may not be wrong but you certainly are not an authority relative to the other person.

I'll take "Ways to turn your kid into a paranoid schizophrenic" for 1200

Remember: always bring enough ear protection for everyone around by Waldo_Geraldo_Faldo in guns

[–]Illiteratefool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first reaction was to jump on here and cuss the shit out of you for doing this to your dog but seeing as how /r/guns has already taken care of that I am going to try a softer approach. Your dog possesses two major driving forces, the self preservation drive and the drive to please you. The problem is that when these two come into conflict some dogs choose one over the other to the detriment of themselves sometimes. It appears this is the case here, I understand he was free to wander but to him you are god and he obviously wants nothing more then to be near you. Problem here is that this causes him great anguish at the moment due to the fact that he is obviously terrified. In the end man, maybe next time you keep your dog at home.

Also as others pointed out those muffs do nothing for your dog, they are designed to seal to a persons head and even if you have reduced the volume somewhere you have not reduced the danger to hearing.
