Agreed. Non-cowboy jobs in The Old Wild West included Prospector/Miner, Builder, Gunslinger/Bounty Hunter, Sheriff, Saloon Owner, Blacksmith, Wagon Train Leader, General Store Owner, Barber/Surgeon, Doctor/Veterinarian, Horse Dealer, Saloon Entertainer, Midwife, Schoolmarm, Farmer, Laundress… and of course Native Americans just trying to preserve their own society/way of life…
It’s probably shows like “Rawhide,” where the main cast of roving cowboys encounter all the above, that got us thinking of it all as “Cowboy Life.”

If your whole schtick is about decluttering, you should be able to differentiate between “less” and “fewer.” Getting things down to a countable number achieves “fewer”-ness.
Also, looking at walls of books sparks joy.
Burnt to a crisp, and spicy
62·15 days agoIf your problem is you buy ingredients but can’t be arsed to turn them into food? Resist those beautiful fresh veggies and go get the frozen bag of the same thing. Not only will it keep until you really want to cook, it’s already washed and cut, and it has all the same vitamins. Since you’re already saving money, splurge on the better brand.
Also, go ahead and get some prepared food for no-cook days that are still cheaper than delivery. If you’re inspired to cook that very day by a particular ingredient, make it a simple way, because shopping and stowing is also a whole chore.
TIME FOR DRINKIES!
It was his first day, he only had the pen in his pocket.
And what have we learned, kids?
Always carry a pocketful of googly eyes!
I super believe in you, Tad Cooper!
4·28 days agoGuess you’ll have to bring fresh-baked cookies to work then, for cover. And also sharing. Pro tip: make them large, then break a few in half, depending on the gender splits in your workplace. Women who would like a cookie but feel guilty because of norms about dieting will happily take a half. Or maybe break off a quarter. But they won’t break one if none are already broken. Most men will enjoy taking a whole one because diet norms don’t apply to them. A few people will enjoy virtuously refusing them because vegan or keto or something. Nobody will notice you smell like vanilla.
If you’re not a baker, or you have a friend with celiac, Rice Krispy Bars also have vanilla and are gluten free.
Original? You smell like my dad. I’m 65. Still a great scent though. As a little girl I’d dab it behind my ears for perfume.
You guys don’t get it. Those products smell like that to appeal to women. If anyone even notices you smell like a woman, the obvious inference is that you have a girlfriend. Or at least spent the night with a woman. If it’s dilute enough to not really be noticeable, women will just find it appealing. Vanilla in particular is non-gendered, what you smelled like was a cookie!
If you had it on “sanitize” the surfactants in the softener would probably loosen enough of the food and the extra-hot rinse would get it all off and kill the germs so you’d be okay except maybe for burnt lasagna.
You guys got a window seat?
The Chinese are probably only doing it for profit, but if the result of flooding the market with cheap “honey” is a crash in European pollinator population because of bankrupt beekeepers it could be a problem for agriculture and native European plant species, I guess.
So now the salt is full of microplastics? Well, so am I. Come on in and join the rest.

Maybe fiction writer as well
Seems to me your definition of intelligence ignores whole aspects of true intelligence, at least of the human kind, such as emotional intelligence and social intelligence and artistic intelligence and moral intelligence…
“Problem solving” is the name for what you described and it doesn’t necessarily require intelligence. In fact most intelligent people have encountered situations where it made solving a problem more difficult.
