Yeah, uh, my conservative dad got mad at me for getting unemployment after I got out of the military because I didn�t need it.

He�s right, but it was money on the table and I took that poo poo.

Basically people only deserve the standard of living they earn.

You might need it later though unless you're a wealthy heir or something.

Well, I'll be specific, almost all the curries I've had I did not enjoy (japanese curry is just gross, like what the hell?), and there's little incentive to keep trying, but I did enjoy Aloo Gobi, which is a curry I enjoy.

Does the US Application process for SNAP and other social assistance programs have a lot of stuff meant to make you feel dehumanized? When I tried to get SA here in Ontario after my EI ran out, I had to submit my last 3 months of bank records so they could judge my income AND spending to see if i was deserving of it, plus you were not allowed to accept more than $50 extra a month from outside sources, if you did it would count against your benefits, which maxed out at $750. You also had to prove you were not actually employed, and a whole bunch of other stuff that was just designed to make you feel like poo poo. because I was rejected (I couldn't provide proof I wasn't employed because i had no ROE from my last job and the store had closed) I could never apply again.

The way the right talks about it, it sounds like you just walk in and say "uh so like, i'm poor, can I have free money?" and they give you a SNAP card with no questions asked.

I had to provide proof of income (a letter saying I was no longer employed basically, and a bank account statement for a few months) and go to an interview where they went over what outside income or food aid I might be receiving.

I didn't find it particularly humiliating though.

Also I think people giving me money would have counted as income, not a straight benefit reduction.

Like if someone has sensory issues or something and really do just live off an ultra limited diet of bananas and rice then sure, someone can say "I don't like curry" and maybe be right. But in general if someone dismisses a large category of food that does not need to contain any specific ingredient they are generally coming from a dishonest or misinformed place.

Honestly it's the same with people that say "I like all music but country and rap", no you don't.

I cant say I dont like country? Followed by some exceptions like brad paisleys whiskey lullaby?

Scrooge's greed literally causes a child to die in the future where he doesn't change his ways. Like, Tiny Tim straight up loving DIES because Scrooge refuses to pay his father enough money to buy medicine for him. I would think you couldn't write a much clearer "Hoarding money is bad" message, but I guess I'm wrong.

Ice cream is obviously a sandwich because it's just carbs, wrapped around itself

Edit: once melted it obviously becomes a curry

It's weird to me (a Vietnamese-American) that white people will pay 20 bucks for a plate of high quality pasta but not for a bowl of high quality pho

I mean yes getting pho in general is dumb because there's a million better tasting viet noodle soups but that's not the point of contention

Hey, at risk of bringing back this derail, I like pho, make soup frequently, and I'm curious about this. My local vietnamese place has similar soups called mi which I don't like and hu tieu which I do like. My favorite meats are beef, duck, and mushroom and I really like savory broths. When I eat pho, I usually eat it with lime and occasionally with oyster sauce. My favorite spice combination is ginger, garlic and scallions, and my favorite animal is bats. What are some viet noodle soups you recommend based on these important facts about my preferences?

E: Ice cream is a korma.

It all depends on who is doing the interview and who is applying for benefits. As a general rule, if you're getting interviewed by a white social worker they're going to be racist as gently caress. Have fun running through that gauntlet if you're poor and black/brown.

Meanwhile I knew a couple of NEETers back in high school who got on the express train to SSI due to sympathetic social workers and a system that was firing on all cylinders so they could claim benefits/rehabilitation as soon as possible. Public benefits/welfare is one field that could use a big boost in automation so people aren't put in charge of doling out goodies to demographics they find sympathetic.

Getting UI is now loving impossible. I was denied UI after getting laid off from my full time job a few months ago because I was taking a single 3 credit university class (trying to fulfill prereqs for a graduate/PhD program and complete continuing education requirements for my state licensure). Apparently working full time and being a student/fulfilling state licensing requirements is something that is just absurd and completely impossible and I would have to withdraw from the university class 3 weeks before the semester ended to receive any UI benefits. The social worker on the phone would go to no end belittling me about me having a Masters degree and having trouble finding work immediately because there are just all these jobs growing on the jobby job tree aka (contract positions about as bad if not worse than Uber where your net income is negative every week unless you commit fraud).

In America, you can be either student or full time worker bee. You can't be both as Social Worker Bot just throws up a hard halt if presented with [part time student and full time worker]. Maybe we have passed the singularity as there are many programs out there that self-correct and continue functioning when presented with such scenarios whereas a human with 6 loving years of university education cannot.

Have you ever tried hu tieu mi? :v:

Bun bo hue, if the place has it they probably shoved it under the pho section on the menu, has beef and hits your favorite spice combo

Bun mang vit, basically a duck and bamboo noodle soup

Bun moc, a pork and mushroom based soup, really earthy

You said you don't like mi but since you like duck if they have mi vit tiem, you ought to give that a shot

Krotera: Jun 16, 2013; I AM INTO MATHEMATICAL CALCULATIONS AND MANY METHODS USED IN THE STOCK MARKET

I don't remember which form of hu tieu I tried! What I had was a pork broth soup with (if memory serves) shredded sausage, chicken, scallions and noodles. According to Google, this appears to be the default hu tieu. Google informs me that hu tieu mi is a form of hu tieu made with Chinese-style egg noodles. If so, I don't think I've had that. I know there are lots of Chinese-style egg noodle dishes there, but a lot of them are fried dishes, not soups -- so I'll need to check the menu.

I am sure I've seen bun bo hue on the menu of at least one of these places. As for the other three -- I don't know for sure! It merits a closer look. I actually live near four Vietnamese places of which I only really frequent two.
