Food banks. Look at your local church, synagogue, or mosque. A lot of them do community outreach and have some kind of food bank.

If you're skipping meals or you have $5 'til next Friday, the food bank is for you. Don't feel like you're taking something away from someone "more needy." It's you. You're needy. Take the help. That was a hard lesson to learn in my 20s.

Are you sure about that? Because every picture I see of the seditious fuck makes him look like he smells of hamberder grease and dirty adult diapers.

Article doesn't mention what the unit does with the salt waste.

I support this 100%, but desalination presents a unique problem: what do we do with all the salt? Maybe the unit uses it for something, but otherwise it just miniaturizes a problem that we're already working on.

Just like stories, this is yet another feature a messaging app shouldn't have.

Marques is right. I'm sorry, for $700 goddamn dollars I refuse to be some random startup's R&D. I can't wait for the DiSrUpToR model to die a painful death.

And to all the people crying because MKBHD was mean, I say: STFU. I watch him for his integrity. Your product is bad and you should feel bad.

You're asking for accountability in the GOP? If you believe that's possible I've got a bridge to sell you.

The last few times I've tried to book an AirBnB the price difference from a standard hotel room was almost nothing. AirBnB has been trash for awhile.

MTA workers, Dept of Sanitation workers, NYCHA workers... So many people who work for the city. All it takes is one hangnail or paper cut.

Brought to you by the "let's go Brandon" people.

The modern GOP in a nutshell: come for the bigotry, stay for the Freudian slips.

They just don't care. Simple as. People with brand-new phones do the same thing. There's just no regard for other people.

How stupid do you have to be to threaten a 4-star army general?

Well, I guess as stupid as Trump, but still it defies logic.

Apartheid Clyde: "what? I don't see anything wrong!"

It doesn't. Nor do Word, Photoshop, or heated seats but that didn't stop Microsoft, Adobe, or BMW. Guaranteed they'll provide some kind of subscription model for it.

My stepfather is like that. I even tried to use his own logic to help him see most of these conspiracies are dumb; "you said yourself that the gov't is incompetent. So how can they pull off a conspiracy at this scale if they can't run the country?" - stuff like that.

It doesn't matter, he's fully drank the Kool-Aid, so I just keep him at arm's distance now.

He spent the following weeks negotiating with the rail companies behind the scenes, and eventually got the workers the things they'd demanded initially, including the paid leave.

Whaaaaat? You mean electric last-mile micromobility cuts down on emissions in a significant way, just like people had been saying for years? Who would have thought?

It's not parents' job to dictate school curricula. All these "PaReNtS' rIgHtS" bills are bullshit pandering to people afraid of their own shadows. They can all take a long walk off a short pier.

There it is.

That is, until Sinclair and Clear Channel started gobbling up local affiliates to push their own narratives.

Right? I was very confused until I saw where I was. Good shitpost.

They'll just start funding more terrorist organizations and attacks à la 9/11. The Saudis are no one's friends and the world would do well to remember that.

Not even close to being a unique story in the agriculture world. But let's just keep giving them more subsidies though.

It's great this is happening, but in a just world Union Pacific would be forking over $5MM, not everyone else.

At least they didn't divide it up into a slideshow, with two lines of the article per slide. I've been seeing a ton of those lately.

Ah, good to see they've come to a final solution so quickly. I bet they didn't even have to concentrate that hard.

Remember, if you see someone stealing food, no you fuckin' didn't.

Tommy Tuberville is singlehandedly ratfucking the entire military through inaction and still gets to collect his 6-figure check.

Doubt anything will happen.

The programming socks to legislating socks pipeline

And Trump's was $200k as well. Apparently existing while trans is worse than trying to kill democracy.

My understanding is as follows: A lot of corporate debt is backed by the real estate. For example, McDonald's food operations are far less valuable than its real estate portfolio. If that property is now worthless because no one wants it and it's unoccupied, banks now have assets worth less than what's owed on them. That in turn means when the loan term ends, banks can't just re-finance the debt, because the collateral that secured the loan in the first place isn't worth what the debt is. That means big problems for companies who now need those loans as a source of cash to pay off the old loans. They now have to scrape up actual cash to pay, leading to more austerity. Because corps can't pay the banks, the banks lose out on revenue, which means they have to tighten their belts, and so on and so on in a self-reinforcing spiral. If the corps default, the banks can seize the assets, but again, they're worthless, so it's a one-two punch.

It's a giant shell game, and from what I've read economists are afraid a 2008-style crash may be in the works due to the cycle of debt above.

I've never dealt with a broker that did anything beyond opening the door and going "here. Apartment. Look." Useless leeches, the lot of them.

I have a sticker on my debit card that makes it look like a Blockbuster card. I get so many confused looks when I had it to cashiers.
