That's a lot lol. Take it literally anywhere else, or get your knuckles greasy and diy. Diff fluid change used to take me about 30 minutes front and rear on a farm truck or tractor in my driveway. Fair price would probably max out much lower than 400 imo.

Idk if they do the same thing, but just about everywhere uses frozen onion rings in my experience. It just isn't feasible to make onion rings to order in most applications

Most people don't realize how much chickens scratch and dig until they have them.

In the summer, they'll dig themselves a hole around half the size of the chicken and hang out there to cool off. Your mulch will not be in your flowerbeds anymore, it'll be everywhere. They help with bugs though which is nice.

From what I understand (I have yet to make a recreational purchase) rec licenses for dispensaries are being distributed right now. Not every store that will have a license has one yet, but I know Bloom is offering recreational sales.

You no longer need a med card if you are over 21. Over 18 but under 21 can buy with a med card.

Were tickets actually 15 dollars? I couldn't have gone either way, I had to work both nights, but goddamn I would've watched the trainwreck for that cheap tbh.

It was passed for recreational through a ballot initiative. Enough people signed a petition for it to be on the ballot for a vote this past election. People voted, and it passed. Therefore, weed is now recreationally legal.

U ain't gonna die from weed though, may smoke yourself to the 8th layer of hell, but it won't kill you and it'll pass.

You do realize that I have a job, work full time, have very low expenses, and am still left with very little savings? Good luck getting a job without a mailing address as well. Many homeless people do not have ID, theft/loss of items is a very common problem. This is a barrier to employment. Getting clean clothes? Barrier to employment. Showering regularly? Barrier to employment. The incredibly high likelihood of being arrested simply for being homeless? Well you tend to get fired for a no call/no show, so barrier to employment.

And I guess fuck the mentally ill ones? There are shelters, but there's not nearly enough resources to deal with the homeless problem in large cities that way. They simply are not well funded enough, lack volunteers, and are a band aid fix for a systemic issue.

How does arresting people for sleeping on the sidewalk do anything to combat the core reasons for homelessness? It doesn't. They go and do convict labor for a little bit, make money for the jail system and the cycle repeats.

Talk to homeless people if you can, and figure out their story. Yeah, a lot of them are addicts, but sleeping on the street for a few years will do that to you. Don't judge them so harshly, you are far closer to that end of the spectrum than the other.

This isn't the way to do that though. We're at a point right now where people are living on a thinner margin than ever, and we don't have much of a safety net as a society. Once you get behind financially (through bad decisions or through no fault of your own) it has a way of snowballing. No matter how you find yourself in bad shape financially, I think you're at bare fucking minimum entitled to not being criminalized.

Right now the average American has little to no savings, and no assets to quickly sell. No options for a cash infusion to stay afloat, they fall homeless.

Making it illegal to be homeless is addressing the wrong part of that process.

Fuck, me too. I go to prince smoke and vape over on Kearney. I don't have any complaints, staff is incredibly nice and they've got just about everything, but an elf bar costs me 24.85 there and if anywhere's cheaper that'd be nice to know.
