@TheJayDelta Are you insane? The pro Palestinian side doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. From them having initiated violence at every turn and turned down peace every occasion to what they did to Gaza after Israel left…

@ScottKacsmar I didn't hate the end but it didn't live up to how good this show was for most of its run

@JohnnyCJordan I dunno about an investigation, everyone is just saying there's no professional liability for Vrabel and I disagree with that

@SaintJames1992 Got it. We have Greg Bedard for the Pats, who hasn’t cited a source ever, so I imagine he just overheard stuff and shared, which would be bad integrity. I’m sure those briefings and closed sessions would be off limits quickly if secret stuff was shared.

@ScottKacsmar Someone as connected as Diana Rusinni must come into a lot of off the record info. Could easily have shared that. They also get access to closed practices, get briefed in advance by teams, etc. This all depends on journalistic integrity.

My experiment of Following on my phone and For You on my PC probably needs to come to an end. I waste so much time anymore on that dangerous side. My mentions are bad enough.
lindsey ok@lindseyyok

The Twitter For You page is a dangerous place. It’s like - tweet from faceless account with 7 paragraphs about why Josh Allen isn’t good - video of someone d**** - horrible car wreck video - Trump ad - 3 week old tweet from someone I follow No thank you

@mattyglesias Maybe you guys should not have called college protesters paid agitators Maybe YOU should not have arrogantly snided that people don't care about Gaza But no. You're perfect. You got your perfect DNC and it lost to corrupt clown.

@SaintJames1992 @janecoaston “Some,” this is an established fact in developmental economics. More kids means more people to do farm work, work and bring in income, etc

@viva_thevillage This is an argument made by economic historians that is supported by some data, which I find to be interesting. It's not a hill I'm gonna die on one way or another lol

@SaintJames1992 I simply can't imagine ppl planning their lives that way (esp in a world w/o reliable contraception). People may well have wanted community/xtra helping hands, sure but the notion that they had children in order2b taken care of in old age strikes me as a violation of evo theories

Do we have any accounts of adult children regularly caring for their aging parents, despite having their own families and farms to attend to? weren't (extra) heirs often an issue?
Saint James@SaintJames1992

@janecoaston There's some literature that suggests kids were the only vehicle for saving wealth to commoners before the modern era. A farmer in like 1600 likely had no access to banks and may not have actual currency. But surplus food=more kids=more people to take care of you later in life.

@viva_thevillage Certainly not everyone was in a position to or wanted to take care of their relatives, but that was the thinking anyways. Not really any other eat to stay alive in those days if you couldn't work. Subsistence farming is a bitch.

@SaintJames1992 i think even the smallest land/estates would end up being divided (that's one of the origins of dowry) old ppl were oft considered a burden (see the treatment of old women/ poor widows) the Irish had to implement/guard the Right of Residence and Maintenance for aging farmers

Now, with government pensions, everyone is trying to parasitize everyone else's kids to take care of them in their dotage.

@viva_thevillage These are like economics papers, but yeah people didn't just like routinely leave their parents to die when they got older lol. You're referencing is the French manor of dividing up land among the kids. That did happen, but often poor people didn't actually own the land.
