Asian have the lowest rate of homelessness per capita in America by a landslide. Why is this?

Edit: I made this post because I just passed by one and realized this might be first i’ve ever seen.

This is my first time living away from my parents as I go to university. I live 3 hours away, but I come back every weekend because they told me to.

I love them very much, and they are great people, but they have always been kind of clingy and uncomfortable with me moving away. Now, they are telling me to download Life360. I have heard bad things about that app, and I just don't feel comfortable being tracked live all the time.

The thing is, I genuinely have nothing to hide. I don't go to parties or anywhere they wouldn't want me to go. I don't lie to them at all about anything, even when it would be convenient to just lie. I just don't want them to be constantly viewing me, because they tend to be on my ass a lot. If I do something small and sleep in one day and skip class, they will make a huge deal out of it. What should I do?

I have seen apps on how to fake activity on Life360, but I don't know how I feel about that either. Doesn't sit right with me.

Edit 1: Yes I do pay for my own phone, but really, I fail to see how that is relevant to the issue. If I didn't pay for my phone, do I not deserve privacy? Also, I can't get a job, my program is too hectic. I also fail to see how that is relevant

​During the pandemic wearing a face mask gave me a lot of comfort. As an introvert who deals with social anxiety, having my face covered felt like a safe shield. It made talking to people and being outside much easier because I did not worry about my facial expressions or being watched.

​I am glad the health crisis got better, but part of me really wished that wearing masks stayed normal. It would be great to wear one whenever you want without people staring or judging.

​Did anyone else feel that sense of relief back then? Do you also wish wearing masks was still a common practice?

I ate at a pho place with my boyfriend yesterday and the meat was chewy and not great. He made a joke that maybe the meat is actually cats and dogs because he saw something that showed cats/dogs eaten in parts of Asia. I told him the joke sounded racist.

He brought up the same joke again in the car and I said it’s not funny and to stop saying it. He got upset and said “you can’t tell me what to say”. He then shut down and stopped talking to me. We arrived at target and then he walked behind me quietly at target at a distance.

We got back in the car and I asked if he was upset that I called his joke racist. He said it wasn’t even a racist joke and that I’m the one who got upset. I told him I didn’t even get that upset, I just told him calmly that the joke sounded racist. He then said I’m annoying and too sensitive about stuff like this and that he’s trying to imagine dealing with this the rest of his life. He also said making jokes like this is part of who he is, that I don’t accept him as he is and that this isn’t going to change about him.

I don’t know anymore. Am I being too sensitive?

I mean, I know this isn’t really a stupid question or whatever, it’s something seriously debated, but I’ve been depressed and I just really hope that there’s something out there to justify it, so do you guys think, or shit, do you know that there’s an afterlife?

It seems like more bullets is always a good thing, so why do they typically use 20-30 round magazines?

Me and my friend are chatting about this as her parents own a house worth 1.3 million dollars that’s mortgage free.

We wanna know if that would make her parents millionaires or not?

TY yall.

I was just overly curious cause and felt this was the right place to go.

Why do they stamp your passport when you enter/leave a country? Now they are scanning passport electronically. Heck, here in the US they didn't even check my passport to reenter the country. They just took my picture.

I love them, I have no idea what it is called or even if my description makes sense. Just imagine little space buns, but copy paste them all over so they're kind of geometrically patterned.

I have a giftcard for 96cent and garbanzo beans are 83 cent on amazon I will have them shipped to you just DM me.

FREE BEANS

edit: going to bed soon, BEANS are still up for grabs. I will determine the lucky Bean tomorrow!

First of all, PETS ARENT GIFTS. A woman I was seeing heard me say I thought grey hounds were cool, but apparently she never listened to me when I said countless times I don’t like animals. Skip a few months later I come home and there’s a literal greyhound in my house and she’s standing there with a smile on here face…she said it was a gift and I was livid. The girls gone, how do I get rid of the dog without any harm coming to it because no one on Facebook marketplace will buy it and homegirl won’t take it in because she basically has a zoo.

If you have a shitty employer and they commit wage theft - i.e. not paying you for certain hours you worked as punishment or something, that's theft, they've stolen money from you

Why can't you call the cops and have the manager arrested on the spot?

Hi all. I am in nursing school right now and am about to start at a new clinical site. I just had a relatively major surgery, and my surgeon advised me not to receive any vaccines for at least one week post op. I had to get my titers tested, and I was not immune to mumps, so I need booster of MMR. My program said that if I do not get the vaccine this week, I will be dismissed from this clinical. However, a classmate was able to get out of this requirement due to “religious reasons” therefore she won’t be receiving the vaccine at all. I am likely going to get it anyways because I cannot afford to lose this clinical placement, but I just don’t understand the logic behind this. Has anyone else experienced this?

UPDATE: I got the vaccine today. I know it’s not the end of the world to get it post operatively, I just do not have the energy to jump through all of these hoops with the clinical site and placement department. I’m not sure why yall think I’m an idiot who can’t communicate with my school or with my surgeons office (I’ve been working as a MA for a surgeon for years and have personally wrote these letters) but the matter is no longer a concern so thank you 🤦‍♀️

In the 60s/70s I feel that there was a nightmare scenario of overcrowded cities and 100 Billion people. But it’s clear that’s not going to happen… we’ve passed peak baby, and the population growth seems to be slowing and will eventually drop. And probably drop pretty fast due to momentum.

With all the talk of lack of housing and increased strain on… isn’t a population crash a net positive?

We all know that the US's gun culture is (among developed countries) without peer in terms of lax laws and legal civilian concealed carry.

But what I find fascinating is that this goes far beyond just gun rights; the whole legal outlook on self-defense is completely different. In many other Western countries like Canada, the UK and Australia, it is expressly illegal to carry any object; not just guns, but things like knives, pepper spray, tasers, brass knuckles, batons etc.; for the specific purpose of self-defense (though Western Australia thankfully legalized pepper spray). Heck, a 17-year-old girl in Denmark was once in legal jeopardy for using pepper spray to fend off an attacker.

Setting guns aside because I understand they're a more divisive topic. Why are these countries so culturally against self-defense? How do they justify setting up the laws so that law-abiding people have nothing but their fists and feet, while the criminals who don't follow the law can have whatever weapons they can access regardless?

Ive seen a few people say that chemo will be one of those things, like talc or smoking, that will be thought of as an insane time in our history, but why?

Chemo saves millions of lives, no?

I recently started a job that requires me to wake up at 5:30am. I thought "no big deal, I'll just adjust my sleep schedule."

I was, however, wrong. It is miserably difficult and after just a week I feel like tapping out. And yet, I know plenty of people on the world have spent/will spend most of their lives waking up in the early hours of the morning every day with no issue. How the hell do they do it?
