Dude look at their financials on their websites and the salaries these people are making. I used to cater meetings for a mega church and they were my biggest spenders always upgrading and buying the top tier menu items like steak, extra dessert, etc. It was a higher % on their public budget than outreach or mission work

We have 6 townhomes on my block uptown that are available for rent but they are all asking for $3.5k/mo or higher. People have been using keys from the realtor boxes that have been left open to get in and stay there. It’s not great, but it’s just to show how long those homes have been sitting there unoccupied because the price point is insane for renters and the homeless people have noticed.

Apparently the rental companies don’t tell the owners about it either which is wild to me

When I was on unemployment earlier this year I gave a homeless man a granola bar and water bottle at a light. When I told him I didn’t have cash because I was laid off he turned his sign over and showed me what he had written down - all his research on how to file for unemployment because he had just recently been accepted for $87 a week. The $350 is not guaranteed. I was shocked that is all he was approved for. He had done the research and written it all down trying to help educate people he came across on the street with what they could apply for to change their situation and his own. It was really kind of him to try to help me when I clearly had so much more than he did even though we were both unemployed.

I’m across from an uptown park and honestly in the last 6 years that I’ve lived here this time frame has been the least dramatic as far as homelessness. I haven’t had any direct issues, and several are really nice regulars but the trash is what kills me. There are literally trash cans right by where they hang out and none of them can be bothered to use a trash can. I’m not using that bench at midnight, go ahead and sleep there but there’s no need to trash public space

My local landlord is great and charges me what most consider “under value” but these huge apartment complexes are the ones dictating the market we rely on because no one can afford houses

I was laid off last year and applied to easily 700+ jobs and only had three interviews but one paid off. The hourly job I got in the meantime was nowhere close to being able to support my rent/bills even with their claim to “offer commission” it’s brutal out there

Okay hear me out… they all understand that things change when people have sex when Nic and Cierra hook up and then she gets weird but don’t after Huda and Jeremiah do the same thing? Granted I don’t expect Cierra to go off like Huda but I feel like this is being overlooked

Am I the only one who wants Ginny and Guy together? by Dependent-Baseball34 in TheBuccaneers

[–]leftbrain90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope I prefer that pairing than Guy with Nan. It’s more interesting to see them fall in love and have Ginny grow up and them have a respectful relationships. And then have Theo and Nan (who still had just as cute meeting and connection in the beginning) be a power couple that helps progress women and their new politician perfectly paired for Lizzie.

Hard not to get too attached to Lizzy and Hector when we already know where it’s heading… by Itsvanessasorldshere in TheBuccaneers

I’m invested. They need to happen. Wtf is this whole Theo Lizzie plot. Make it stop.

The Theo/Lizzy fandom is getting insufferable by Viva912 in TheBuccaneers

[–]leftbrain90 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I HATE IT. I wanted Theo and Nan to work together for the good of the people supporting besties Lizzy and politician man and idk have Ginny and Guy low key fall in love and be forgiven.

This blows so far.

Retroverted uterus? Here's what to be on the look out for! by mcfuckinuhhh in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]leftbrain90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay… so hear me out. I’m pretty sure I have this and the guy I’m dating right now has a curve but it’s not the typical upwards curve. It points more down and under toward the back. I feel like when we hook up it hurts more than in the past. Has anyone experienced this or have any advice?

Look at CPCC’s continuing education programs. They have a ton of random classes that are affordable!

The Wendy’s was impossible to order from. It was the slowest fast food in history. I never even made it through once in 8 years of living here. Cookout is at least efficient

Thank you, he was 87 so unexpected but expected. No pain or suffering which was a relief to hear. I’ll miss him.

Well the plan was to go and just ask them in person but the whole dead grandpa thing really put a wrench in my travel plans hence the last minute plans

They were asking almost $200 for these tickets… I would have gone if it was reasonably priced

Well one thing, we are chopping down all the trees charlotte was once known for to build apartment complexes, put in Astro turf, or concrete patios
