Back in the day when I was still a stage actor, I had a buddy whose resume listed "Waiting for Godot -- Title role", and I was so mad that I hadn't thought of it first.

Hey if you're able to help at all, this is even more critical than ever. If you could at least boost her or if there's anything you can throw in, I appreciate that a lot.

We need your help again, I really really really hoped our housing problems were finally over and we had a home. The harassment from our new landlord just does not let up whenever either of us set foot in there.
Now completely broke from all this and effectively homeless, again

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

It's so funny how for my whole life the constant propaganda against socialized medicine was the specter of long wait times to see your doctor, and fuck if I didn't just make a doctor's appointment for the soonest possible available time.... 5 months from now. Greatest system in the world baybee

one tactic in arguments is to misrepresent what the other person is saying and argue against that. bonus points if it makes them sound unreasonable.

So much tear gas that people who aren't even protesting are getting sick when they leave their homes to run errands: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

ICE is hounding Chicago area locals with excessive chemical munitions

Agents are firing tear gas and pepper balls on lawful protesters, lawsuits say, sickening even uninvolved residents.
