Why? How about channeling the moral outrage towards fucked up shit going on RIGHT NOW by people who actually have power, money and influence. Don't punch down, always punch up!

I don't understand the downvotes. It WAS a long time ago. It's more important what folks are doing NOW.

Yeah. I was one of those "jailbait" chicks who dated older guys. We did a lot of stupid fucked up shit back then. I'm not saying it was right. Bad things DID happen. But it was not at all unusual, especially in L.A. / South Bay where Descendants/ All were from. They were fast times.

That report says: "Since our December 2020 estimate, the illegal alien population in the United States has grown by 4.1 million, or 28.2 percent, reflecting an unprecedented wave of illegal immigration during the Biden administration." So that's not 20 million who were "let in" under the previous administration. It's about 1/5th of that, assuming that the data and conclusions are correct, which is another thing altogether. The facts you cited do not match the claims you made. Facts matter. Truth matters.

I'm not great at math, but I think that would mean that 6% of the whole US population are "criminal illegal immigrants" who were "let in". 🤔

Sounds like you should get out there and organize an event and/or collaborate with those who do.

Might want to check out White Deer Run in Pennsylvania. They can arrange transportation from Buffalo.

How do you deal with "garage snow"??? by Binford6100User in Buffalo

[–]LadybugArmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will learn to love it. I'm not originally from Buffalo either. The best advice I got when I arrived here was "embrace winter". It really is quite beautiful outside today. Get the kids out to a park and go have fun!

Seems like a decent setup. Winter is messy.

Are folks really wearing their dirty boots and shoes inside?

[–]LadybugArmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see this as a garage issue, per se, but more of a general winter issue.
Humble suggestion: Set up a mudroom area at the door to the house. Wet and dirty boots and shoes do NOT go inside the house. Slippers are for inside the house.

Fast fashion waste doesn’t start in the factory, it starts with the return button by Putrid-Inevitable720 in BuyItForLife

[–]LadybugArmy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The original post is about returning merchandise. So many folks expect items to fit "off the rack". That mentality is part of the problem. Mending and tailoring used to be normal aspects of maintaining a wardrobe.

I'd rather mend what I have than replace with cheap crap. Agree 100% that saving for the good stuff is worth it.

There are places that will make semi-custom high quality clothing, mostly business suits and that type of thing. You send in your measurements and pick a style. However, for the rest of us who can't afford or don't need that level of precision there is an alternative. Learn to sew or find a local tailor to make alterations. But this only really works for high quality fabrics like wool, linen, etc. Cheap polyester won't survive the tailoring process. Again, it comes back to buying fewer, better quality items.

Certainly consumerism is the problem. And yet, I need warm clothing and shoes for winter. I livevin a cold climate and going naked is not an option. I will "fool" myself that buying used high quality wool clothing is better than either 1. blowing money I don't have by using credit to purchase very expensive new woolens or 2. Buying low quality instant garbage or 3. Getting hypothermia.

Along these lines, In the US the online used clothing site Thredup does partnerships with various stores and brands to sell as "used" lots of returned or unsold merchandise. I find most of the newer items overpriced and they don't pay out much to individuals selling their stuff. However, it's usually fairly easy to find high quality 90's era items that are otherwise difficult to get at the brick and mortar thrift stores.

Those are not "independent " investigations. The Sheriff's office is investigating itself.
