E: Ebola! A potential Ebola vaccine is being tested in parts of North America to make sure it's safe before it gets used en masse in Africa. Just about every news story on Ebola will have one or two "government invented disease to kill us all" nutters, but now that there's maybe a vaccine, we also get the "government invented vaccine that will kill us all to stop the government invented disease that will kill us all, which will kill us all anyway because the vaccine killed us already so we get DOUBLE EBOLA!"

That'd be sweet, we could all get married and blow our husbands' money on fat old blue-collar man pole dancers! :j: Then we could all go around yelling poo poo at random dudes on the street, like "hey bitch if you don't want our attention don't wear those plaid shirts and overalls, you look like a stripper".

Oh boy! A video on "rape culture" vs. "real rape". Hopefully it's a break down of how in "rape culture" the lack respect for getting consent for things like minor physical contact, harassing and explicit language (catcalling), and not respecting a woman's declination when you try to hit on her (I know you want it) leads to situations where rape is more likely such as date rape at a party.

It's 4 minutes of him saying "Well in this one case that I found that involved a semi-famous person it was their fault cause they didn't fight back hard enough and didn't say "no". So it's not rape, just don't be a drunken whore".

So the answer to "Wonder why I can't have an opinion on women's issues" seems to be because he had terrible demeaning opinions.

Every person I know who never had their mom go back to work when they were kids were useless people as adults because they were used to mommy doing everything for them and they suddenly didn't have mommy to nag them about deadlines and do their laundry and cook dinner for them for the first time ever when they finally moved out, with predictable results.

Rape is used as a form of torture though.

Rape can be a form of torture if the motive is to inflict pain as a punishment. It can also be used to make the victim give consent.

As far as I can tell, he and his wife had been living with his inlaws. They got sick of being mooched off of, and kicked them out. He spent "all he had in the world" to move he and his wife to his moms trailer ($200). And now he's apparently so impoverished he must stoop to begging on Facebook for money. Neither of these people seem to have jobs (He's been alluding to the 'state job' for months how) ...they just sit around and play Minecraft and Facebook all day.

The thing that bugs me most is, the food. I've lived off $30 a month groceries before. It wasn't pretty, but it was food. I'd have done that again before stooping to facebook begging.

I wonder how many more days of this he's going to do. He stated a kickstarter to get a window AC unit once. It was hilarious.

Hardware store I worked at sold a variety of window AC units for like 60-100 bucks. I'm hesitant to judge him too harshly, though, especially about the whole job thing. I've heard lots of times applying for a government job kinda leaves you in this hellish job limbo. Obviously I don't know a whole lot about the guy. Although he probably could do with less than 180 / month on food alone, even with 2 people. I was doing $50/month down by Orlando florida, and have been an avid Aldi fan ever since. Even though I don't need to do that anymore (their milk is still like a buck cheaper than everywhere else, though.)

Honestly, SSI is easy, from my experience. When my doctor suggest I apply, I filled out the form and got my check three months later. But I have a very well documented 20 year medical record, including various tests, God knows how many types of therapy and medication, and hospital stays. They didn't even interview me, they just sent the money.

But if you're a blob who's never had an xray on his sore back, seen a doctor that wasn't at an ER, or seen a doctor and not done what the doctor suggested, of course you're going to be denied. I know the medical system in America is messed up, but you have to be proactive with your health and the SSI people.

It's probably much easier to sit around your moms house playing with LootCrate toys and begging on Facebook.

I forget if it was Radiolab or Freakanomics but one of them had an episode about how it's sometimes more reasonable for people to claim disability than unemployment or even a lovely minimum wage job. It's a really interesting take at that point of view.

Edit: I was wrong, it was This American Life
http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/490/transcript

quote:

There are these little pockets all over the country where like 20%, 25% of the people in a given county are on disability.

if you could prove to the Social Security Administration that your disability prevents you from holding down a job, the government will pay you money. The average people get is about $1,000 a month. And the government also covers your health care.

Every month 250,000 people want to be on the disability programs.

"part of the reason our unemployment rates have been low until recently is that a lot of people who would have trouble finding jobs are on a different program. They're on the disability insurance program"

David Autor says disability has become a sort of de facto welfare for people without a lot of education or job skills. Except it is the worst kind of welfare program

And it's not a great income, about $13,000 a year. But if your alternative is a minimum wage job that will pay you $15,000 a year-- a job you may or may not be able to get, may or may not be able to keep, that probably won't be full time, and very likely will not include health insurance-- disability may be a better option.
