I am 31 years old and collect Social Security Disability. I have held 25 jobs in a span of 15 years, and by age 30 I called it quits looking for conventional work and now I collect disability benefits and receive Medicare.

In the meantime, I enjoy gardening with occasional web development projects that help produce a little additional income.

In addition, I have been fighting for our fire and emergency services here in my state as these vital services are struggling to remain afloat. I was very instrumental in the passage of SB1900/HB2428 which makes assault on firefighters and EMS personnel a minimum of a Class E Felony. We were only one of few states where it wasn't a felony offense to assault a first responder other than a law enforcement officer. I brought attention to the issue, appeared on the news, and communicated with lawmakers. As it stands today, it has been transmitted to the governor for his signature!

They say growing can save money, but it has left me squeezed financially this month, as I receive only $1800 in social security benefits. I spent over $200 this month and even more in these months combined buying seed, soil, plants, berry bushes, and cherry trees. I am hoping long term, I can enjoy the savings benefits.

The cherry trees will not produce cherries until likely next season. I have 3 cherry trees. If they thrive and survive well in the coming years, when they are mature, I can expect over 21,000 cherries.

My blackberry bushes are already producing blackberries, and I should have upwards of 100+ blackberries this season. They are still rather young bushes.

The raspberry bushes are not producing much this year but I expect a better yield next year.

The blueberry bushes are a struggle to maintain but I am hoping next year will yield better.

I am expected to have over 200-300+ tomatoes excluding the cherry tomatoes. I will have probably 100+ jalapeño peppers. I will have potentially 50+ bell type peppers. Probably several hundred habeneros.

I planted bush lima beans by seed. I am hoping they will sprout well in the coming days.

I voted for Trump all three past election cycles. I will not sugarcoat this the slightest: this is an absolute abhorrent clusterfuck and I feel ashamed, outraged, scared, and duped beyond belief.

I am a right-leaning conservative, but this goes well beyond issues based on partisan lines. Fuel over $4.29 a gallon? Partnerships with mass surveillance companies and deployment of AI mass surveillance technologies on citizens? Trump posting with an AI depiction of him as Jesus with a 3-horned, bulky, shadow figure in the background? The walls closing in on the job market? Mass layoffs and an existential crisis among young Americans and the middle class? Talks of a draft? A fertilizer shortage in the midst of a severe drought with talks of famine on the horizon? Our fire and emergency services throughout the nation on the verge of collapse during this major drought we are in? The willful dismissal of the Epstein scandal? The passiveness when everyday Americans are on the brink of losing everything with just one unexpected emergency?

What are we? China? North Korea? The middle east? Are we under authoritarian rule transitioning into totalitarianism?

This guy is not just insane and delusional. This man is pure evil.

The left's aggressive identity politics, sociopolitical agenda, and social engineering practices were awful and destructive. What this man and his administration is doing is egregious and beyond disgusting. I don't even know what words to use to describe my sheer embarrassment, disgust, and betrayal I am feeling right now. I never imagined our nation would reach a point like this. I never saw it coming.

For this, what I mean is would you rather go on a date to a fancy dinner place or a more casual activity?

One I'd most want to do is cooking dinner together at a place. Fancy restaurants are awkward with the sitting across and whispering, no laughing or telling strange stories, it's the opposite of my idea of a good time.

Getting to know someone shouldn't feel like a job interview. For me to get anywhere with someone, the dresses need to come off, pun intended. I'd want to cook a meal with her, get to know eachother as we do, be all playful and silly, get past the edge and all that in a fun way, not staring across from a table and whispering at eachother.

I find it kinda hilarious, a room full of people in suits and dresses, whispering at eachother as if we can't all hear eachother, anyways... And let's not even discuss wine prices in restaurants. Rule of thumb, if the bottle is sold in the restaurant, you're almost certainly paying 5× retail price for the wine.

Would you rather have a more formal date with strict social boundaries or one that's loose and more personal?

It seems like normal women only have Instagram and perhaps Linkedin, if that counts, most of those who seem to be on Twitter Tik tok etc seem mostly retarded.

Do you agree?
