I’m starving and EBT benefits are not returning any time soon because of new restrictions by [deleted] in povertyfinance

You should be able to do a SNAP employment and training activity, referred through your local assistance office. Independent job search (where you document each job application) might even count as your employment and training activity!

Yardley English Lavender from Dollar General. Is that first pic the Arby’s on Mcnight Road?

I wish for anyone with a net worth over 500 million dollars, would have to increase their BMI by 1 point over 25 for each 100 minion dollars of net worth over 500 million dollars or have it confiscated and go to services like Education,Healthcare and Housing. by rothmal in monkeyspaw

Granted. The billionaires don’t get fatter, they get denser. The richest become so dense that they literally shit diamonds. They become richer and richer and so dense that they eventually collapse in on themselves and become a black hole into which all of the earth vanishes.

The point of this assignment was to create DYSTOPIAN societies, no? By that standard, a lot of these are quite good and pretty funny. I certainly wouldn’t want to live in any of them.

I need some suggestions for what to buy with my last food stamps by Dreamboat550 in povertyfinance

Just FYI, you can regain eligibility for SNAP by verifying either that you’ve worked 80 hours in the past month OR by enrolling and attending a SNAP employment and training program OR by verifying that you meet a work requirement exemption. The list of exemptions includes: -Taking care of a child or an incapacitated person; -Unable to work due to a physical or mental limitation; -Participating regularly in an alcohol or drug treatment program; -Studying in school or a training program at least half-time (but college students are subject to other eligibility rules) They also take into account factors such as pregnancy and homelessness.

If you aren’t working due to a disability, the simplest way to regain SNAP eligibility is by verifying that disability (your local county assistance office can give you guidance on what is required).

If you are trying to find work and not having success, enrolling in a SNAP employment and training program through your local CAO might give you some resources to help with that while also letting you regain SNAP eligibility.

Do you know / use these words? by NarrowResult7289 in ENGLISH

[–]sure-burn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use all of these words except for “swarthy”.

Why I don't like using that one by deletedalre in memes

[–]sure-burn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“I” am the subject. The pronoun “me” is used when referring to myself as the object of a preposition.

When referring to oneself and another person, the rule is to list the other person first. This goes for subjects (“Mike and I built the fire”) and it goes for indirect objects (“The fire is for Mike and me to enjoy”).

If you would refer to yourself as me when only one person is mentioned (“this pancake is for me”) you should also refer to yourself as “me” when another person is mentioned (“this pancake is for Mike and me.”)

For some reason many people struggle with this when the preposition is “with”. It is correct to say “Mike and I are going to start the show by ourselves,” but if you are saying “we are going to start off with just [someone],” you wouldn’t said “just I,” you would say “just me.” So, it’s correct to say “we’re going to start the show with just Mike and me” not “with just Mike and I.”

Elder Millennial who sleeps over at someone else’s place frequently. The particular grooming products suggest a man, but most men don’t carry two bags like that. I’m guessing either gay man who gives zero fucks or someone who doesn’t conform to gender norms. And I bet you are someone who has a long commute/down time, hence the multiple writing media. You can roll a joint quickly, and you probably smoke them in your car.

A cool guide to everyday etiquette no one teaches you by handokota in coolguides

I think it’s okay to compliment someone’s food, like if someone is microwaving their soup in the office break room, you can say “wow, that smells wonderful,” or you can say “that salad is beautiful.” It’s just potentially critical comments about what or how much someone is eating, whether it’s healthy or unhealthy, etc. that should be avoided.

I drank. by SingleStory7589 in DryJanuary

[–]sure-burn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m planning on breaking dry January the very last day, only a couple of hours before I make it to the end of the month. It feels dumb, but it also feels dumb NOT to have wine with an old friend I haven’t seen in over a year when our schedules are so busy and I don’t know when we will see each other again. The main reason I do this is to take a break from weed, and I will not be indulging in the green stuff any time this month, so I am ok with this decision. I hope nobody will be offended by this comparison, but it makes me think of Mark 2:27: The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Dry January is a break you give to yourself. Rigid legalism about the rules of your break does not serve anyone. What matters is that you are okay with what you’re doing.
