I don’t eat chips that often but it’s a tie between these All Dressed Ruffles I’ve had in America and the Tatos in Ireland. Apparently, the All Dressed is really popular in Canada.
It’s legal to camp in the woods in my state. I think it’s also legal to sleep in your car, even though in this weather, a person could die sleeping in their car. If you see someone shoplifting, you really should report it. If it’s food or beverage, some social worker can set them up with a food stamp card. If it’s some item that isn’t a necessity, like a nice piece of jewelry, or a designer bag, they might need some mental help.
If I see some adult sleeping in their car, for over twenty minutes, on a day when it’s over 100F, and their windows are closed, I’m calling EMS. There are some cases where “doing sh_t” is absolutely necessary.
Since my husband vanished and apparently left his ID to his friends, I guess I should just tell everyone that my life flipped a d_ck. I could say it made a u-turn, but it sounds too much like the slogan on the sign of a local church. It was down the street from the church we used to attend together. Maybe their “God allows u-turns” sign was just their congregation’s way of telling me to flip a d_ck before it was too late.
When you go through the divorce process sometimes you flip a house, sometimes you flip a car, …and sometimes, well, you know…
Well, apparently the word never meant anything bad when it was originally put to that phrase, but now I have to edit it out because it means something else these days.
Trust me, I would have rather been in the business of flipping ducks, as some kind of duck farmer, than feeling like Book of Job and losing everything after my husband flipped his life and everything he owned to his friends.
I am truly honored. I hope every blood donation I gave was able to help save a life. I always wonder about how the recipients are doing, and what circumstances led them to need a life saving blood transfusion. The blood bank keeps all of that private for security reasons, of course, along with the name of the donors who donate....
I’m still looking for the article that talked about the local protests against immigrants and refugee seekers. Early this year, the locals set a female refugee seeker on fire in the street, in Dublin. Perhaps one of the locals thought I was a Ukrainian refugee when he stuck me with a needle. I’m pale, but I’m actually most of a mix of Scottish and Irish, though. Maybe It was personal. I shave my head. Maybe he hated shaved heads?
I actually do have free healthcare. Or close to it. I have a free insurance plan because I’m so poor this year. The blood bank can’t pay its donors. They have to employ the people that draw blood and that costs money. The process of the blood transfusions are expensive to the recipients and they get billed for that. It would be nice if tax dollars could at least cover patient costs. I don’t mind donating for free if it saves a life.
That’s cool. No, I have donated in many places. I even donated in Washington, D.C., once. The sites that are not connected to my local blood banks will not pair their rewards and records with those places in California. Even though they are all Red Cross affiliated, they are not truly connected for the donation counts and rewards system. I asked one of the people at my local blood bank and they told me this once.
They have other awards, but a person needs to reach a higher level of donations to earn those awards. I didn’t think this one looked bad. I think it’s supposed to be an ocean wave encapsulated in a glass sphere. There is another one that looks like a red blood drop and a larger one that looks like a blue rain drop. The last one requires 100 donations, I think.
No, there have been several cases in America where cadaver dogs have been used in rural areas to find dead bodies. They use them all the time to solve cold cases, and to locate bodies when a suspect finally confesses and says where the victim is buried.
Ah, sorry that happened to you. I’ve known people who had that same problem. They said they left the blood bank with bruises after the phlebotomist couldn’t find a vein that would cooperate with the IV needle. At least you tried to donate! Thank you for trying! I wish every healthy adult would try.
I don’t care. Have you ever been in need of a blood transfusion and been told by a nurse that they don’t have one available in your blood type? I have. I almost died in 2012 from blood loss. I am lucky to be alive today. If some other O- donor would have just been there to help, or had donated a week or so before that day, it would have been an easier recovery. I donate because I know someone in a hospital needs my blood donation to survive. A human life is worth more than the few dollars the blood bank actually makes from my donation. Most of the money from the blood transfusion cost goes towards the medical procedure, the actual process of transporting it, and testing the blood to make sure it’s safe. The blood bank needs to keep operating. It’s not owned by some billionaire. I hope you never need a blood transfusion. It will make you change your priorities if you do.
Omg. I’m so sorry. I would have donated if someone would have called me. Then again, if it happened between my eight weeks of rest after a previous blood donation, they probably would have turned me away. I think hospitals should allow O- donors to risk a second donation within the 8 week time period if it’s absolutely necessary to save a life.
I tried to hire a lawyer when it happened. I called a law firm that same day. I don’t have the money to fight it. Also, how do you fight it without money and a lawyer? File a report with local law enforcement? That isn’t going to work. I actually filed a report online with the FBI office over corruption amongst local law enforcement. I doubt anyone will care. Then again, my dad’s cousin was former president Jimmy Carter. If he had been any closer of a relative our family would probably already be in some federal protection program meant to shield families of politicians from harm. But nope. I’m just some poor distant cousin of someone who mattered, so I don’t matter. It’s sad that things like these events can happen to women in America, or anyone, and no one cares unless they’re someone “important”.
Both sides have killed children. Hamas is not innocent. They took hostages. Some of those hostages were children. They abused, raped, and even killed their hostages. In response, Israel has struck Palestinians; Hamas and non-Hamas, killing men, women, and children. Both sides are killing people, instead of taking their families and leaving the area. No one should have Gaza. Neither side deserves it. I refuse to support either side. I would only support a movement by the UN to relocate families as asylum seekers, in an effort to remove the children from the war. No one else deserves sympathy in this but the children. That’s my opinion. You don’t need to agree with it, but I can’t support someone who says they support one side, or the other, after all of the killings. It would be like cheering on a prison yard fight between two convicted murderers and trying to convince some bystander that either one is the lesser evil. I’m not buying a ticket to this event. I don’t want to watch. Neither side is a hero.
Did you not read my comment? My comment was specifically against both sides because they are killing people, such as innocent children. I don’t need to go cause riot in an American city over it. America isn’t Israel or Palestine. Our civilians and our law enforcement shouldn’t be inconvenienced by huge demonstrations that should really be happening in Gaza. The place to protest against something would be in the place where the offensive action is occurring. Biden already announced he is pulling aide from Israel. Biden already sent food to the Palestinians. What more do you want from Americans by protesting? Do you want us all to fight a war against two countries that are not governed by America? You want America to jump right in to battle; to sacrifice lives of American service people? You want us to police an issue that doesn’t directly involve America. Then everyone will be protesting it as if it’s the Vietnam War. I don’t think we need to be encouraging Americans to pick a side.
I think other countries could offer plane tickets and sanctuary guarantees to families who want to escape, while making sure to send Israelis and Palestinians to different countries for that sanctuary. They could encourage a mass relocation of civilians. Gaza should just be evacuated entirely and no one should live there ever again. People will disagree with me. That’s fine. It’s better than saying, “let’s send them bombs and jets!”
It has been really difficult to live in a state that is notorious for gangs, especially gangs that don’t resemble me.

So you dig through my account history to judge me and you think I need drugs that will make me cease to verbally express my views online? Your first reaction is to deny everything I said as being true without even investigating it? I hope you have the chance to experience discrimination and then I will be sure to drop a comment on your posts to tell you that it’s all in your head. I’m sure the holocaust, civil rights movement, and women’s suffrage all had events that were in people’s heads. Discrimination against those groups today probably just leads to you taking the victims that they need psychiatric drugs so they’ll stop talking about it, huh? Ugh, just stop bothering readers like you with problems, huh? You probably just came here for uplifting news and to browse aww. Sorry to tell you this, but gangs do exist. Nepotism is real. Discrimination happens. It sounds like you’re some privileged person who has never experienced any abuse by other people.
I have two relatives that were murdered in the 90’s and it was never reported. They just buried my relatives’ bodies on a rural piece of farmland. Instead of bringing out cadaver dogs to try and prove I’m crazy, I have been told not to talk about it, and threatened to be labeled as crazy for reporting it. Do you know how easy it would be for those people to prove me wrong if there weren’t bodies buried in that location? They could bring out cadaver dogs, have them search the area, and then publicly humiliate me over a lack of evidence, if my claims were false. They won’t even bring out the cadaver dogs. I have had death threats. I’ve been told to shut up. I’ve had gangs try to make me leave my home state. Those are the type of actions that are taken when groups of people want to cover up a crime they committed, or aided in committing. That isn’t how you try to expose a crazy person.
You think I’m crazy and gangs aren’t real? Find a way to bring some cadaver dogs over here, and I’ll prove you wrong. You might need some meds after what you see.

Yep. I agree. I’ve been bullied on Lemmy for sharing the fact that I have been bullied in my own home town because local law enforcement hired exes of mine who have abused their law enforcement powers. I now have a person, or group, that follows each of my posts and comments to immediately downvote them, even if they aren’t even controversial. I just receive an automatic downvote. That pales in comparison to the verbal bashing I’ve received from that group, or person. Each time I speak out, I have this one commenter that tells me that I’m crazy and need meds to make me shut up about having been abused by an ex that was hired by our local sheriff’s department. I wonder if they sniffed my phone to follow my account. I guess that would be crazy and just earn me more hateful comments from “random” people on Lemmy, huh? My question is, do I blame Lemmy as a whole, or will people on here finally admit that some certain local in my area is stalking my account?
When comments have become as bad as “strangers” telling me to “get raped with a rusty lawn mower blade”, I have to wonder if it’s all coming from the same IP address and if the mods even care.
True, there are some people that just downvote everything, for no reason. I get that. I guess what made me worry was the fact that I had comments in Lemmy News telling me they hope I get raped with a rusty lawn mower blade, followed by someone downvoting all of my past comments in succession after that comment. I figured it was the person who made that comment.
