Congress is a high end nursing home. In fact, you get paid to be there and we pay aides to take care of you.

At least as speaker. @warren.senate.gov should take his place!

I disagree. They think everyone on SNAP are non-white, and they want the excuse to mow them down in the streets. The ICE militias are a really big clue. If they can get them crazed enough, they think they'll riot.

It's even worse than that, they want people hungry so they flip out and start rioting. They want to mow us down in the streets until all that's left is cult. Preferably white male cult.

This! This is what it's all about. They're trying to get us to flip out.

Forcing introverted people (like Ian for example) who can't even make proper eye contact to smile and be really fucking unnaturally weird doesn't do it for me. It just makes him hate his job. He's friendly, he's just not a golden retriever. Like I said, well paid=friendly.

I will say, I've had grilled cheese with tart apples. I think it was apples with gouda & provolone on sourdough. I miss that food cart. They converted a school bus into a dining room.

I would try this. Apple pie mac & cheese is a nope. Baked beans, on the other hand.

It's just part of being a 70's kid. No support, only force given from boomer parents. On the spectrum we do not surrender! I am defiantly every bit the weirdo I was meant to be! But I still miss my booger puppet.

Couldn't resist! My first question is always "how do I bend the rules?" A DM's nightmare. 😉

Damn, I miss mine but the material they were made out of didn't last. One of the few gender -non-conforming toy requests I made that I actually got. Mostly I only got "girl toys" even though I only destroyed* them. (*Customized!)

Yep, and it can happen all the time if we give them the support that they need. Why do you think that we are arguing? The one thing I can say about us is we are two people who care very much about the people that are out there dying on the streets.

Well, the place that I worked, the people that were there, were there because they had been taken off of the streets. Those people got the help that they needed. But this was way back in the '90s and they've dismantled almost all of that structure now.

Oh!? Are you saying this is common? Because you know it isn't, right?

But when you're under the effect of narcotics, you can't keep appointments, you can't do the things you need to do to organize all of the social services that can help you. You need to start somewhere. Like I've said a dozen times now, they. need. help.

Most of the homeless people that are also addicts can't get themselves into housing. It's common that when you lose your housing for whatever reason, you're scared to death to fall asleep outside! So you do things to try and make yourself stay awake. I've been there.

What I said is that they are not able to get homes without sobriety. There's a big difference there. I said they need help, and I intend to do everything I can to make sure that they get that help. Including messaging the mayor here!

You're putting words into my mouth. I never said that. Reflect back to me where I said that homeless people don't deserve homes. Also, read my other comments. I have been homeless. I deserve a home.
