Sometimes you are different sizes in the same brand. And I don't mean you might need a small shirt and large pants. No. Sometimes, this pair of pants only fit in large, and this pair of pants only fit in medium. Same brand.

Fuck it. I'm feeding these children nothing but boiled chicken and canned peas from now on.

I don't really know how to feed everyone without TFWs either, to be honest. They really are so much better at this work than any local Canadians I've met, myself included. And people are only willing/able to spend so much on their food. I'm paid better than most farm workers because my boss is idealistic and willing to pay himself very little in order to pay us more and sell at a price regular people can afford, not just wealthy people. He can only get away with paying himself so little because he lives in an off-grid cabin and I'm pretty sure his parents are rich. It's a nice job for me and we do feed quality produce to people who normally couldn't afford it, but it's only about 200 people. Places like this aren't going to feed all of Canada.

I hope you get your farm one day, though. It feels good feeding people.

Editing just to clarify that I don't think it's okay to treat TFWs like we do. People need to be paid and treated properly regardless of where they come from.

I work on a small farm and am treated well but my understanding is that the big farms that supply the grocery stores employ almost exclusively underpaid temporary foreign workers (TFW). A lot of the farms that sell at farmers markers also employ underpaid TFWs or idealistic young people who will work for food, a room to sleep in, and a $50 a week allowance.

I chose to do it. I like it. I have a good boss who pays well and gives me a lot of freedom and flexibility. The vast majority of farm workers aren't as lucky.

Pokemon or Sailor Moon. Movie, probably the first Pokemon one.

It tastes like how I imagine bleach would.

Ehh my parents are divorced, which I guess has been pretty stable for the last couple decades.

And in your example, the pronunciation of bow depends on what kind of bow it is.

I have a basement where I swear it's 10°C colder than upstairs.
