Well thats on you for letting “media and government” opinions have effect. Those influences shouldnt hold value in your own opinion of yourself.

I got booted out on my own at 17, state put me in a shelter until I turned 18. Was homeless multiple times until I found a carrer I thought ethical. Like I said, poverty doesnt scare me. Working for someone who is the boot on folks neck do. Im also nerodivergent, and literally cant stand to stay in a place, living or working, that infringes on mine or others freedoms. I go without, a lot. Found the most community I’ll ever probably expierence, in the lowest of places. I like the low places. Suits and tie types scare me.

State assistance types who look down on folks should rot in their chairs. Again, their opinion doesnt change facts. If you qualify, you qualify, miss nancy on her high horse can eat a dick.

I’ve walked miles in car centric infanstructure, with groceries I had to scrape up money to afford strapped to my back in 100degree heat, all the while cursing the suburban moms in their cars with their AC thinking, “Im stronger than youll ever be”.

Ones own will is a tool to be wielded.

When you have nothing, you have a different type of freedom.

It’s okay by me to accept help where you can, give back where you can, and the people who abuse power are so, so very small (not in numbers but in personhood)

I dont keep people like that close to me. Luck? Not so much, strong boundaries, yeah.

Where the hell your family going? They arnt family because youre broke? There are other jobs? There are family rooms in homless shelters? Grab a tent?

Been broke my whole life, I dont fear poverty. Sell your soul for money, youre a shit human.

I want to build a house from stone (and wood), but a stone house like they would have built centuries ago.

then chickens.

funny, It would have been to travel for most of my life. Now I dont care about that, I want something that will stand for centuries.

stone house made of rocks. First thing id do

Mississippi Cold Drip def sounds like something I’d try!

I hope to get a decent espresso machine one day. I wouldnt know how to make coldbrew without making a mess? I imagine theres some kind of tool or whatnot to do so? Ive made small batches using my french press to filter it, but cooling strong brew from a standard pot is just so easy!

I dont really do dairy, love coffee.

once in a while, I take about a cup n a half of almond milk, a tablespoon of cocoa powder, and two tablespoons of sugar and heat it in a pot until properly combined. Then, I use it in my ice coffee.

I make a pot of coffee, I cool it to room temp on the counter, and add it to a juice jug thing I have. Put it in the fridge, cold coffee is all I drink.

Most of the time, I just have it black. Once in a while Ill adds some sugar syrup ive made leftover from some dessert recipie, and once in a while I make cocoa almond milk for coffee, but usualluly just black with ice. I make it too strong, but I like it this way.

Ive not had a jug of cows milk in ten years or more. The “barista blends” and oat milks are far too heavy for me, and almond milk seems fine, for the rarity I use it with coffee, and only when I do the chocolate thing ;)

Ive a spot I keep wild and this is what I do. Probably only every two weeks I weed it for invasives, and let everything else, just be. mad native plants sprouted up including a dogwood tree im trying to foster.

for me Im certain comments just flow from most recent down. I like it this way

low reputaion?? ooo oo I’d like to know what mine says

idk how I feel about a reputation meter though

It’s only been in talks for what? two years max?

One of, if not the largest dairy/cheese company in Vermont.

Edit: finally got the article to load.

I hate everytging about this.

Not Likely to happen, but I’d love to see Cabot become Employee Owned

pools have chemicals, filters, and chemicals.

The pool at my community center has a proceedure where you are to at the very least rinse yourself off before going into the pool. Its not really a place for kids except for swim lessons. its just lanes for lap swimming. Proceedure is to clean yourself both before and after the pool. why so many use a swim cap to protect their hair.

was me, I did it

you can give a partner a UTI or bacterial vaginosis if your junk is dirty and you have intercourse unprotected.

Why many vagina holders value hygeine in a partner. Just A fyi for anyone agreeing with this person that it is fine to lack in cleanliness in this manner. Yall are wild.

just wash your hands. its science.

you want pissy underware I guess thats all you.

“look at me working hard so I can be lazy!”

what about the tool box? the shop door, the pen in the office, a high five to a child, or a handshake. Anyone who doesnt wash their hands is getting nasty shit on surfaces all day long.

wow

should just use a diaper with this logic. gonna give every girl you sleep with BV, no thanks

and it fucking smells.
