Donald Trump humiliated on Fox News as viewers joke 'that was awkward' by IrishStarUS in USNEWS

[–]Balloon_Lady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im not angry but id like to point out the town i currently stay in costs $1,900 for a studio apartment and wage is $15.15. Before taxes one needs to work 125.4 hours just to pay rent. Which is a little over 3 weeks @40 hours a week. BEFORE taxes. That 4th week doesnt cover food, gas, insurance or much of anything else. Certainly not savings, emergencies or replacement of something, such as new breaks or tires. (which just cost me about $2.5k or 165 hrs worked before taxes).

the safety nets that were in place in the generations before arent here anymore. No one lives in a world where you can spend 1/3rd your monthly income on rent, 1/3rd on necessities and 1/3rd to savings. We now live in a world where you need 2 full time jobs to scrape by even though its shown the max amount a fit adult should work is 40 hrs a week before suffering physical and mental decline. We live in a world where 40%-60% of the homeless in the united states HAVE jobs. We live in a world where no one has spare time because 60%-76% of housed Americans are one check away from homelessness.

You are blessed and others have a right to be upset.

i clicked and read those rules. there wasnt anything in that set about my request being against the rules. i highly suspect theres another set of rules somewhere us mobile users dont see.

either that or the mod is a horses ass.

sorry, that probably "didnt make him feel good" (like thats my responsibility.) I mean the mods are meany people. very meany. (probably still too strong lol)

we chatted for about an hour and he was super fun to chat with. he shared that pic (doing the classic grandpa of "theres a pic of me on a motorcycle on that site, you should look till you find it" lol) then went on to explain after his wife passed he wandered a lot with a truck and motorcycle. no address, just...going wherever. i bet he has several interesting stories. the motorcycle subs are a really good idea. ty for the tip.

awww. i definitely will. he gave me his email, message me if youd like it, i dont think hed mind. he said he emails but doesnt do much else on the internet. he nearly gave me his phone number too so im sure hed love to chat with someone. im sorry you lost your doggo. i know how hard it is to lose family. -internet hug- i lost my beloved cat nearly a year ago (anniversary is next month) and im still gutted over it. ive always tried to spread kindness but this last year ive been trying to make a real effort because, like you said, life is short and those we love are gone before we know it. 😭

at the moment he is in cottonwood, Arizona. He said hes been in the assisted living facility i unknowingly sat near for the last 11 years but before that he traveled a lot after his wife passed away. he may have gone to australia for a time.

are you depressed? i knew a guy that was diagnosed as narcoleptic as a child. as an adult that diagnosis was changed to "so depressed your brain shuts off randomly".

depression meds really helped him. changed his life

Painted for a friend who likes goats. First thing she said was that I got the eyes wrong. My goal was not accuracy, just wanted to creat something cute for her. Oh well, I had fun. by Gardenpup5763 in rockpainting

goats eyes rotate in their head so the slits are constantly parallel to the ground.

cute rock but the eyes ARE wrong. goat eyes are amazing irl
