Not blaming anyone specifically because I obviously don’t have enough information to make an informed decision, but there were definitely some communication issues with the people surrounding you at that time… Regardless, I hope your other birthdays have been about 1000% better!

Oh wow, that’s horrible. I’m so sorry you had to endure that…
They say that the best revenge is living well so whether that resonates with you or not… I wish you the best life you can possibly have!

“you know, the hairier one”
That too. “I’m a fiscally conservative Republican who doesn’t believe in handouts.” Oh? How convenient that you can selfishly hoard all your money for yourself by hiding behind principle…
No offense to you personally, but I hate this kind of premature defeatism. Like… yeah, some people are jerks and try to take advantage of things. Put rules in place and enforce them as much as the people in charge care to.
I know it’s strawmanning to bring this up, but people use the same argument to say "We shouldn’t have food stamps for hungry kids or welfare for needy families or subsidized housing for people without homes because people will abuse it. Yeah. Some people will, and others will suffer because of their greed. But so many more people will continue to suffer if we don’t even try because we are too scared of The Undeserving boogeyman. Not every tree will be taken advantage of, and as the sense of outreach and community grows, abuse of it will fall and it will be worth it. I guarantee it…
The best (IMO) fast food place by me isn’t exactly close. By the time I get home I have to nuke fries and burger. 🤷🏼♂️ Still didn’t have to cook or do dishes!
I hate… so much about the things that you choose to be.

Hmm. I believe you, but I am up for the challenge and can earn her love! Can I stay with you for a month or two? I’ll take the time off work and pay for my own food!
I genuinely love that you are giving this complicated, fuzzy being the best life you can, and working around her issues… ❤️ Good human! ❤️
151·7 days ago“Unhoused” is callous and “homeless” is not?
While others are downvoting you for missing the point (possibly because I was already attempting to consider them with empathy and dignity), I probably should have actually said “person experiencing homelessness”, and have edited it as such.
In 2020, an entry on homelessness was added to The Associated Press Stylebook noting how “Homeless is generally acceptable as an adjective to describe people without a fixed residence” and that reporters should use person-first language to "avoid the dehumanizing collective noun the homeless, instead using constructions like homeless people, people without housing or people without homes.”
I was so, so waiting for consequences to finally reach this asshole. Reminder that this teenage student and her family *were experiencing homelessness and was apparently exhausted trying to meet all her responsibilities! She needed an advocate, not a bully. This is the type of person that demands respect from you, while not valuing you as a human, beyond considering what you can do for him. I hope he endures excruciating traffic cases until he is removed from the bench…
EDIT: Changed to people-first language.
Thank you. I’m not actually that old-school, but back in the day, the only directions that mattered were the changes. “Turn right on the dirt road, and follow it for about 35 miles. Turn right at the crazy magenta and black diner…”
I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention. What were you saying?
That’s… some different issues. I think your phone/vehicle/GPS might actually be haunted. Do you know of any exorcists?
Woah, that’s crazy. I was specifically thinking of I-25! Though it does it with other roads and highways as well…
Of course! That was only a couple weeks ago…
The worst part is I can’t help but read all your comments in his voice now. That’s on you…
