If someone with experience being homeless could answer this question it would be appreciated: Is it better to give directly to a homeless person (whether it be money, food, or items) or to a charity? Which is more impactful for the average homeless person?

I should start my own country. And it would have: * Lightly salted & sweetened liquorice * Neither american football nor association football, The primary sports will be skateboarding, golf, & ice hockey, * 2 Christmases, one on dec 25 and one on jan 7 * No music radio stations, If you want music in your car you have to actually like it. And get hardware to do it * Require some type of service to vote * Legalize/decriminalize raves * Claim territory on mars and send colonists to live there in deep underground civilian bunkers and build an indoor forest inside of an artificial light greenhouse

Moron is Welsh for carrot lol

Give them prepackaged food so they know it isn't tampered with.

This is a true story as a child we had a fella was so damn smelly. Is sat in front of us in school. He wasn't poor or anything he used cologne to mask the stench!

The best thing you can do for the homeless in my area is to LEAVE THEM ALONE. DO NOT: •look at them •make eye contact •give them change •get within 10 feet of them •talk to them •buy them food/drinks (more than likely this can be used as ammunition to pelt you with) Homeless people are barely people. They are plagued by disease, mental instability, drug problems, and other drama you do not want. Homeless people that do not want to be homeless know the resources to get back on their feet. They try very hard and usually aren't homeless for very long. If you see someone who is habitually homeless they have bigger problems than you can solve. Don't cause them any trouble to make their existence worse but don't enable them either.

This video is the best one yet

Wing Commander (1999) with Mathew Lillard's manic performance.

I want to get about 9 tackle boxes and 15 fishing poles and struggle to carry everything while finding hungry people. Then we all get arrested for feeding ourselves without permission outside of the prison economy life and death game of extortion we all play.

In Delaware about 10 years ago we had a shelter called RVRC,i lived there for about 9 months.The owner was getting money from government,an donations,PLUS they would take our food stamp cards an drain them to live there.Come to find out,which we at the shelter already knew,the owner was stealing most the money!He had about 4 or 5 cars, couple motorcycles, jewelry, clothes and he flaunted it all!!An this guy was homeless like us only 10 years earlier!!He wa a real piece of shit.He was gay an he would get guys from the shelter.His "boyfriend" once lived at the shelter b4 my time there,but now was a worker there an dressed just like him.Couple years after i left found out he was arrested for embezzlement and stealing.We wasn't supposed to be taking our food stamps also.I do t know ehat happened but i always knew the guy was a piece of shit!!Also there was workers there that in on it,got a hand out to keep there mouth shut!!It was a real crazy place there behind the scenes!!Look it up if u want,the guy had a bunch of illegal shit going on.It was in Delaware an the place was RVRC,Rick Vanstory Resource Center.Why was it named this??The owner said this was his friend who was homeless with him who died b4 he got out of the streets! He veiled not one more homeless person will go hungry an die in the streets,so donate to him!!!

When I smoked I would hand out packs of smokes as bribery to be left alone.

Ori and the Blind Forest. The feeling I had playing through the beginning was "Meh, it's alright". Then I got to the Ginso tree, got extremely frustrated inside until I finally cleansed it, and then saw the achievement. "Run for your life!" I died just standing there in confusion. Then I died again, and again, and again, and again, the music never stopping, never restarting. And strangely, I wasn't frustrated, I was excited. That was when it clicked for me and I started enjoying the game.

We do want to ne treated like a charity case.Give us everything you want,well do something with it.

My attempt at a sexy dance for my partner ended with me accidentally knocking over the bedside lamp. Nothing says passion like a room lit by emergency lighting💞

🤪🫣🤣🤣 These wild.

Charlotte’s web. We’re giving a synopsis of the hierarchy on the farm at the start of the film and realistically nothing has changed on the farm. The pig(I don’t remember its name) was given a momentary respite from this however, realistically nothing has actually changed on the farm. The sheep are still viewed as idiots. The pig still only eat spot. The cat and dog still act as forces of this hierarchy, and the human still are the only ones allowed to eat in the house, nothing changes at the end of this film.

My parents survived the 1984 Sikh Genocide

My uncle worked at a winery. His boss wrote the label: "Underscored by the bold nectar of the bramble vine." = hint of blackberry.

In my case it was the legend of Zelda the wind waker it was the first legend of Zelda game I ever played and will always be my favorite plus the moment that was an omg this game is awesome was when I saw the cutscene of Link leaving his grandma to get the shield and seeing his grandma cry that he was leaving to save his sister this was my first oh crap moment when I was a kid.

"6th graders drawing Pooping butts" 🤣🤣😂😂🫣

Y2K one is genius

Basically any horror movie where someone is killed by a ghost/demon/monster. The cops are just gonna show up and pin it on one of the dead person's loved ones and then they go to prison/asylum for gruesomely murdering their husband/sister/best friend etc.

2:24 Reminds me of both of my grandfather's One's legal first name was Bobby. Not Robert, Not Bob, Bobby. The other was Sam. Sam is short for Freddie Mack.

For me when I first got started my weight loss journey it began with just simple walking, and that is basic as you could possibly get.

That 70s Show when the plot of every episode became “Eric and Donna have a fight.” Obviously the final season was an abomination, but the show was stale long before that.

This a.i. narrative is so bad i can't understand half of what is being said. If you want followers, you need to do much better. I can't stomach anymore.

I COO? IT'S I.C.U.😂😂😂😂

Not sure of this counts but in particular my mom. She doesn’t understand satyrical humor or how to not take jokes out of context. She may also have, I think, what I’ve learned is a “martyr complex” which is where a person thinks they’re being a good person by trying to “save” or “protect” others from what they believe to be a bad influence, but in reality is actually manipulating and guilt tripping them into thinking thier a bad parson. I’ve felt like I’ve had to walk on eggshells around her at times bc even though I’m an adult, I still hesitate to say mild things like “crap” or “hell” I can’t even say certain jokes bc she’ll immediately take it out of context and think I’m actually trying to insult someone, a lot of other things. In other words, I can’t be myself around her and have fun for once. One example of when this happened was when my family and I were playing “What Do You Meme?” We were all sat around the dining room table; my mom, dad, sister, and I, and my dad pulled out a card that had a picture of the Pepe meme flipping the bird. Now my dad, sister, and I who knew it was just a joke, started bursting out laughing and looking through our cards to find the best caption for it. My mom, however, was LIVID! She started going, “That’s a really offensive hand gesture, why is it in this game, etc.” And the rest of us just look at her and go, “It’s just a joke, like it’s not actually trying to be offensive, just chill and enjoy the game!” But my mom wouldn’t budge, she got so mad over it, literally got up and left and didn’t return for the rest of the game. And that was when I realized my mom doesn’t understand the concept of context.

Helldivers 2. Haven't clicked with extraction shooters before during several tries but this one got a hold of me

Had a friend in high school who's dad passed away suddenly. Heart attack I think. He came into a lot of money. Especially for a 17 year old high school kid. This happened because his mom completely lost the plot after losing her husband. She stopped showering. Only wore her nightgown. Only ate kfc. Stopped cleaning the house. We'd be out drinking or partying, or whatever, and suddenly have to go pick up his mom from bingo, and get kfc on the way home. The only thing she did. She was rank. Greasy hair. The whole nine yards. We'd go back to his house, and old kfc containers and chicken bones everywhere. With a large greasy spot on the couch where she sat. Always tried to avoid the whole bingo pick up, or going over to his house in general. He ended up meeting a nice girl and settling down, getting a large family. Heard he's doing very well for himself now. But those were tough times for him.

This was 1997, and My coma was only 3 weeks, but it was very confusing. I had crashed in the country in Illinois, and had been moved to a hospital, and then airlifted to Chicago. I crashed among cornfields, and woke up in a tall building overlooking Lake Michigan. I was very confused and then the alarms went off that I was moving. The nurses ran in and explained about the accident, and it took me a moment to recall my name and faces. I had no sense of time passing at all. I’m mostly OK now, missing a leg, but alive and happy!

There was a British comedian making fun of the literal way Americans name things. "What do you call the thing on the side of the road that you walk on?" The sidewalk. "Why do they call them eye glasses? How many types of glasses are?" Sun glasses, drinking glasses, magnifying glass, spy glass. The story about being told to bring a plate made me laugh because I've been to things where the guests were told to bring their own plates and silver wear (or sometimes chairs). If it's a potluck, guests are usually told to bring a side dish, main, dessert, or drink.

Whinging about houses being expensive cries crap with money imo

I'm afraid it's been 9 years...

3:32 Literally my now ex friend. We were online friends living in different countries. And we're both in our 20s. She would only talk about herself. We didn't regularly talk - every few days or few weeks. She knew this and was seemingly fine with it. She would say a bad thing that was happening and asked for advice. I gave it and she would initially take it yet refused later on. And she never made an effort to improve her situation yet would complain about it. I understand if it's hard to but sometimes it's as easy as solving whatever it is that happened or eventually gaining the courage to leave the problem if it's an abusive person or household for example. We were talking about what we could do and I brought up PayPal, like she could post about her own and could get donations. She refused because it had personal information on it. She got me to try to contact some of her other online friends for help instead but they never got back to me or her. And she got mad which is understandable. But then she started expecting me to listen to her complain when she felt like it, she wouldn't understand that I couldn't help or talk to her all the time and would spam me if I didn't reply even for a few minutes. She always went MIA for several days or weeks longer than the average gap in our conversations yet would be mad if I hadn't talked to her in that time, begged me to stay up with her (we live in different timezones and I would be talking to her at 4am while it'd be the morning or afternoon for her) and when I went to bed she got annoyed. I couldn't talk about anything I was going through because she was like "at least you're not in my situation" and would be back to talking about herself. So it was all about her. I cared so much about her, even sacrificing/losing hours of sleep to talk to her and give her comfort and support she asked for yet she never appreciated it or cared about me. If she wasn't complaining, she wasn't talking to me. And even if she was, she didn’t take in things I said to her. I made an effort to listen to her and respond. I started feeling overwhelmed due to too much social interaction overall (and it got way worse when we talked constantly). She seemed to understand yet spammed me again. She went MIA again and I just decided to slowly talk to her less. When I get overwhelmed I tend to distance and isolate myself from the person or people causing it. Especially when explaining myself led to outbursts from the other person - and it'd be their fault. Or I just shut down. Then she noticed and asked me why so I explained. She was a bit annoyed but then continued to do the same things over and over. I really wanted to tell her how she was making me feel and let her know that I still cared about her but I knew that if I did she'd get mad at me and somehow turn it into me not caring about her. Even though I did. And she said a lot that nobody cared about her. Yet there would be me and her other friends trying to help her whenever she asked for it - she would refuse it or get annoyed if it didn't go her way or got mad when they didn't offer "enough help" according to her. She also would have do not disturb set up on her Discord profile frequently and wouldn't be active on our other app. I respected that and left her alone. When she went MIA, she would be dealing with stuff and doing stuff I didn't know about. When she was MIA, I didn't get mad at her or spam her. I was giving her space and when she came back she expected me to know what had happened and got mad at me. Despite the fact she never told me and would get the most basic responses with no detail. And I was too scared to ask because I knew she would somehow turn it into an argument. She was dealing with being homeless at the time. I don't know how that happened exactly but she didn't want to talk about it so I respected that. Later on, I had my social battery back. But by this time I was still overwhelmed by her and had started panicking whether I saw a DM notification from the apps I talked to her on. I would think it was her and stated feeling dread and thought "what now" and had to mentally prepare myself. It was rarely her. Always something or someone else, which made me feel better. Usually a server I frequented with other friends. When she was MIA and we weren't talking, I felt much better and actually felt like myself, but when we were talking, I just felt drained. Every time we talked and then finished our conversation, I needed to recover and I'd just hide somewhere online where she couldn't talk to me. She would also want to die repeatedly and I had to stop her. She came back recently and told me she had been in a shelter for two weeks, sick and miserable and got mad at me for "leaving her there". She got mad at me for apparently ignoring her, and wouldn't even let me get a word in, just adding more and more angry DMs. She hadn't even made the effort to tell me what had happened and I was worried about her. It seemed like according to her I somehow developed mind reading powers or omniscience and would know exactly where she was. She never said that but acted like it. I didn't want to overwhelm her with constant checks to see how she was and she seemed like the type to get annoyed by it. The last straw came was during that conversation about the shelter. She was now staying with a friend and as I said was mad at me for somehow not knowing or that I "left her" in the shelter. I can't remember which. She then told me her granddad died. I offered my condolences. She got mad at me and said "i got that when my mum died - 'we're sorry, get f-ed nerd'!'" with a clown emoji. She swore at me and just kept going while I was staring at my phone in disbelief. I didn’t know what to say but I did know that no matter what I said she would turn it into an attack on herself. She always did. Before this conversation she was saying how nobody cared about her. Yet again. She didn't actually seem to want help or advice, just someone to dump her feelings on, go MIA for days or weeks and then get mad at, then play victim when people were too scared to respond. She would call me repeatedly on Discord. I never answered. When she was MIA, I was waiting for her the whole time, checking DMs but got nothing. Until she had something to complain about. Instantly blocked her after she swore at me. I would have said something to her sooner but sometimes people can't be reasoned with, and I was too scared. It was the safest option for both of us. Her so she wouldn't lash out at me, me so I wouldn't be constantly overwhelmed, worried about her and walking on eggshells around her for the rest our friendship and both of us in general so our mental health could improve and we could improve our situations. I feel much happier now. Made a new friend who is actually respectful of my boundaries (I respect his boundaries too as I always do with my friends) we both vent to each other when we can, and we make sure we're in an okay mindset to hear or see it. I really hope my ex friend can get help and improve her situation. And I do hope she's okay, I'm just furious with what she did. Being in a hard time isn't an excuse for this.

The movie is referring to a "moving" picture had me stunned for a minute.

The Cat Lady. Pretty much FROM THE VERY START.

Ace ventura 1 and 2 where the animal is still in a tiny cage at the end.

Eggs. My mother gave me a boiled egg when I was 3 years old and I vomited it up. Haven't had an egg, boiled, scrambled, fried etc for 60 years.

I don't believe in regret. Regret doesn't let you move forward, it's better to learn and try to do the right thing the next time.

A second hand Christmas gift exchange doesn't sound too bad lol.

Nope

Unsolved mysteries for sure .

Nonononono

Losing my cat before Christmas. Didn't ruin my Christmas but my cat being killed a week before Christmas was awful.

I got in an argument twice with someone she got so angry at me both times when i told her that a character in a book was inspired by a real person she claimed that was illegal and the author would be in jail if true.

5:40 I know this video is about married couples but the first sentence of this one was literally me and my sister. We shared a room together growing up and until we were in highschool, so when we finally got our own rooms it was a relief but when it came to sleeping we both felt really lonely at first and both said how much we missed each other (I even slept on the floor in her room a few times). I need the security of having a living being in the room with me while I sleep, and my cats have filled the comfort my sister's presence used to give me at night despite our frequent arguments back then
