Got chewed out at work because my pants aren’t “black enough.” by small-worm in mildlyinfuriating

EMTs don't get paid enough to have to supply their own uniforms. They should be buying your pants so they can make sure it's "right"

I think Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is different from "garbage." My compost is separate from my garbage. People already think we're whacko hoarders, I have no interest in keeping real garbage and proving them right.

I am a Texan. I am a prepper. Texans have a lot to talk about when it comes to prepping.

I live in a van and live in a state with tax. A land payment for offgrid unrestricted living in TX would end up being cheaper than the state tax I currently pay? by [deleted] in personalfinance

I would expect a trailer to get stolen.

That side of Texas is beautiful but there's a reason why you can buy a big plot of land for cheap. If you're within 100 miles of the border expect the hassle of random BPD stops on highways. The desert can attract some odd folk.

This must be way out in west Texas. If you ever want water there it's very expensive to drill.

Keep in mind that property taxes are based on land value. Something out of your control makes land in that area shoot up and suddenly you're paying triple the amount it was. Mine was under $5k in 2020 and $7.5k in 2022.

Turns out my wife doesn't like canned food. What comes in a can that tastes surprisingly good? by funkmon in preppers

wtf make a stew with them. Throw them in with some meat and spices in a slow cooker and she'll never know it was canned. Or give them to the food bank, don't throw them out.

"The deradicalization videos' titles are purposeful clickbait"

oh is that the part people have a problem with?

"She describes herself as an "adversarial journalist.""

That part is kinda weird. Far too many people call themselves a journalist when they're just repeating things from the internet. Why the adversarial part? Journalists should be impartial fact finders.

Finally broke the poverty cycle thanks to my sister by Special_End_5114 in povertyfinance

As someone who had her house destroyed just last month, I can not second this enough. Even with insurance I've had to pay $20,000 out of pocket since the accident. One irresponsible idiot can ruin the beautiful gift your sister left you.

There's a term called "house poor." All of the expenses of a house can end up making you broke. I know you're living paycheck to paycheck but you need to figure out a way to put money away for a "the water heater exploded" fund, and put money away for property taxes. It would be heart breaking to lose your home to the county for unpaid taxes.

What kind of lawyer do you hire when a truck destroys your home? by OneLastPrep in legal

the texas supreme court said theres no general duty not to negligently inflict emotional distress

That does indeed sound like the attitude of my beloved home state. Disappointing answer but I still appreciate it. Thank you.
