  • There’s several problems here:

    Giving homeless people food you cannot serve due to it being under heat lamps too long isn’t cool. If it’s risky for you it’s riskier for them as they don’t have their own space to be sick in. This is why many hot dishes are thrown out.

    Homeless shelters and food assistance programs discourage giving old food as it sends the message to recipients that they aren’t worth getting a fresh meal. It’s about decency.

    My mom ran an interim housing program, a food bank, and a homeless shelter. When restaurants gave food they made it for the shelter. It wasn’t their leftovers. The only things that were “old” were the Starbuck’s pastries as they drove them over twice a day and thus the guys at the shelter weren’t getting stale stuff.



  • Or you pursue weirder spaces to get profit ie I had a boss who hated her cousin but flew to India for his wedding because the bride’s brother ran a paper factory. She came back having spent $10k on gift wrap and bags that would have cost $100k+ here. We sold bags for $7 that cost $0.13. Our highest profit item in awine shop was a paper bag. We of course would give these out for “free” when we needed to.






  • I had a girl who I had been hanging out with regularly gently explain to me that we were never going to have a sexual or romantic relationship.

    I was stopped cold by this. I had no idea how to explain to her that in the two years of hanging out daily I never tried to kiss her, hold her hand, or even meet her family. I just was never interested and she thought I was always about to make a move.

    I thought we were just friends? So did she but she thought I wanted otherwise. It was weird. We aren’t friends now.







  • No, I base that on how remarkably ignorant placing the entirety of the 1996 crime bill on Biden is because I was a voting adult who read the news back then. People who weren’t adults back then don’t have the context of that time period that people who were adults then are going to have.

    No matter how wounded your ego might be by the suggestion you are never going to have an informed perspective on time periods you weren’t around for compared to those who were.
