@kirawontmiss She definitely got way too much junk, but even for actual food, $30 for one pretty modest dinner is kinda crazy. No snacks or treats or pop. $30 for dinner for 8 people.

@dailytobytrivia Perhaps if people quit inventing things to be angry about and distracting him, we would have Deltarune pt 3 by now!.

@jasminericegirl @Delta Nah, I understand Delta on this one. Whenever I see a suitcase, I just start bashin' and smashin' until it's in pieces like that.

@tulpapilled With remote work, a lot of these homes are getting snapped up. The crazy thing is that the majority of these are only like a half hour or so from a good size town with all the amenities.

@AlHendiify Look at the society we mammals have built; there is clearly mush room for improvement.

@OrwellNGoode I'm actually working with a team that is investigating blood transfusion as a way to treat microplastic in blood, so you're not too far off! Once I came up with a reliable test for it, a lot of doors kinda popped open.

@OrwellNGoode Pontiac, MI has a similar thing downtown. Beautiful and locally made brick stamped with the names of no longer existing foundries can be seen where cheap blacktop has eroded away.

@LucyXIV Bring snacks everywhere. With the current prices of food from the store, you can easily slash that to $37.

@Doctor_Eric_B I was accused of being a paid shill after creating the human blood test for microplastic? Paid by who!?!? Big anti-plastic?? Big glass? Stanley Cups?.

@OrwellNGoode Growing up working class means that the "aesthetic" was just a hodge podge of all the previous decades' stuff. I visited my parents to find that they had a large flat screen in the same 1950's entertainment center we had growing up, just with some of the shelves removed.

@KirbyCheatFurby I was a freshman in college and read about a haunted zelda cartridge, and it creeped me out so bad! I remember I read it when my dormies were gone for the weekend 😅.

@GoodReddit There was a man performing similar antics at a mall last year to a doordasher. I can't remember what the dasher did to get him to stop, but if you're able to figure out what he did and repeat it, it could help you as well!.

@lporiginalg "I loved my son [. ] but then he became the complete opposite of what I wanted him to be" .Kid's way out of pocket in a lot of ways, but 'loved' being past tense and those last few words really rub me the wrong way.

@hausofdecline My main problem is that it takes itself so, so, so seriously. They should've either invested in good writing or embraced the shlock.

@bilbosfootcomb A similar situation happened to me a few years ago. Pay 100% of the rent, but give her something manageable. Even if it's small, numerically, it's one less thing to have to keep track of and remember the login for.

@Rothmus The average social security payout is about $1800/month. You're gonna see a lot of people going rural to get rent for 800/month. The rest will be spent on food, utilities, phone, and supplemental health. Probably no car.

@CarissasNewLife For this exact reason, I've always tried to make it clear to my family, when I have to decline a want, "it's not that you don't deserve it, it's that we don't have enough money right now." I like to think that they realize it's not a THEM issue, it's a math issue.

@dalaimo13 @Walgreens I understand that it can't be free, or some weirdo will just take them all. However, five or ten dollars seems like a much more appropriate price.

@iabanon I used to drive an extended bed Sierra, as it allows you to fit 2 standard pallets at once. While it certainly looks out of place in that parking lot, it's nice to see that they had the emotional intelligence to park far away so that could take 2 spots without inconveniencing.

@lporiginalg "If the answer is not in the excerpts, they give up".There has always been a big chunk of people that lack resiliency. This isn't necessarily something to be upset about. Societies also need people that can do simple tasks over and over.

@girlziplocked There have been times where Mrs. Chemist got something small on her birthday and/or had to wait a week to get what I really wanted to get her when things were tight. Lunch and a card when I wanted to get her dinner and jewelry. But this is wild. Absolute and complete failure.

@navyhato B. A, C, and D have been in their respective situations for months or more. B looks like he just got released from the hospital and is probably barely able to keep upright in crutches that are too small.

@IStartdARaceWar @kirawontmiss 6 of the 8 people are kids, 4 of which are in a picky phase. The complaint is more about how the price of everything has seemed to double in just a few years.

@tulpapilled The majority of my clients have been through networking directly, or cold calling to set up a meeting, only to recognize them in person. This will happen naturally as you spend years in the same field.

@naomicfisher On the flipside, if a kid is in a bad situation, that little voucher might be one of few positive affirmations. My girlfriend, who went through severe abuse as a child, maintains that school was her safe space, and these awards, among the few things that made her feel special.

@StatisticUrban My family of 4 lives in an 1800sqft house. No basement. It's pretty crammed, as both me and Mrs Chemist work from home. One kid has a good sized bedroom, and the other got screwed and has a tiny room. My "office" is just half of the dining room. I think 550/person is ideal.

@TeslaBoy @OrwellNGoode It's the same principal, but it's really too early to say. My test only validated the ability to quantify microplastic concentration a few weeks ago. We can at least track the level through multiple testing now. But, like you said, blood only gives a partial picture.

@lporiginalg I went through the math with my oldest. For one person with no kids to be comfortable, you need nearly 60k/year. That's not a ton of money, but that's a tall order for an 18-25 year old.

@ipatrol6010 @BlackRedGuard1 My father dashed for a few weeks when he got bored in retirement. So many stories of restaurants canceling one entree only out of a multiple meal order. Like, WTF are the customers supposed to do? "I've got nothing going on, I just complain til I get the right amount of entrees".

@mask_bastard I'm a clinical chemist. In order for me to work, I am required to hold a very specific degree and transcript as well as maintain a book of certifications. I maintain that 90% of what I do, I could teach a bright high school graduate in about a year.

@cyreejarelle Let's put all librarians in charge of childcare, childcare specialists in charge of medicine, doctors in charge of auto repair, and mechanics in charge of libraries. This is a fair compromise of every view I've seen expressed in library-gate.
