9Yeah those 3 years really demonstrate how the myth of ''they married young in the past'' can't possibly be a myth.
Average marrying age in 1950 was 20. Well after high school, and there's plenty of scandals documented of middle aged or old men marrying teens that drew responses of shock and moral outrage.
Most scholarship on this said the mid 20s is when views in the US shifted to viewing teenagers marrying as morally wrong.
To be fair, it was a punishment for being little shits all the time.
I wish someone would run the government like a business!
I think the biggest failure of the Biden government is that they didn't get out there and make enough noise about what they actually did accomplish, I know months before Obama's *first term was up he was on TV often explaining exactly what he did accomplish and what he planned on doing for another term, and he called out GOP obstructionism very clearly.
You're just giving the large corporation a little walking around money, for their wonderful service, of profitably running a store! You're so nice!
While that's true, that's usually a fee they throw on independent of what the artist is actually agreeing to with the venue. So if you go on and agree you get 75% of the boxoffice and the venue gets 25% and you both need X amount of dollars for a sold out show to profit, you set that as your desired pricing, then Ticketmaster says ''OK cool $80 tickets, we agree to give you that'' then they turn around and sell the tickets at $250 and keep the rest.
Your parents zipcode is the best indicator of your success in life. We don't live in a merit based situation. This isn't up for debate. Most Americans get most of their wealth as the equity their parents owned that they got from their parents all the way back to the homestead act. My FIL has a nice house. His dad bought it for him with a home equity loan. He bought at least three of his kids homes with home equity loans (no not the one I married) he still owns that home, and his kids do too, and their kids will probably have their parents help them with buying a home. That's the majorly of net worth of all of these people.
So you can't afford that sort of thing? Well if you can't afford that sort of thing, I guess you'd never say you could afford that sort of thing.
Yes, If you can't afford it, it can be a totally unrealistic thing.
Yeah, let me walk you through it. JULIETTE has parents. In the play. Those parents that are her parents. THOSE parents, Juliette's parents, THEY say that she's TOO YOUNG to get married. Her parents. They say that. They say she's too young at 13 to get married. What they mean by saying this, about Juliette, their daughter, is that she's only 13 and shouldn't be married, because she's TOO young. Her AGE. It's too small for marriage. They say this in the play. Juliette's parents. It's a subtle nod to the people watching the play, so they can get the idea that the parents of Juliette think that she isn't old enough to be married. At her age in the play.
I just know there are Christians out there that have a very tenuous grasp on why exactly Jesus is the savior in Christianity and many think it's because his death was UNIQUELY painful. The idea that it was uniquely painful is very much nonsense, or we'd have a lot of saviors. He had a horrible but common place death.
Wait till you hear about infants. They are so tiny a human, they can't deal with the low temps anywhere near as well as an adult, one of the kids that died in the TX freeze was 7. I'm sorry his family didn't know about body heat and keeping children in the middle of adults to keep warm. I seriously feel grief over this specific loss of life. I just lived in very cold climates that you forget people who never had to learn how to live in extreme cold just don't know about the basics. Don't get too close to the fire, don't sleep alone.
I lived up in the mountains for many years, there are risks of frostbite, hypothermia, and death at some temps and no amount of wool will save you. You need heat, most of that time I had a fire place, when I was in a tenant situation the heat was maintained by the management company and we only paid electric, and it was natural gas heaters.
These morons are gonna roll tanks into downtown Santa Fe while a confused crowd gathers for the parade and Trump in a gold John Wayne helmet orders them to open fire.
I read this whole article by some truck review guy? And he was confused because he said the cyber truck came within a hair of filling a niche in the truck world that was pretty much free to take, but just narrowly ended up being in a much better established range of trucks that it had no hope in competing in. So yeah.. he did all the demanding and none of the thinking, and everyone else was just there for the paycheck.
