My memory was incredibly good until I got cancer and now its less good. I used to never have to study hard because I retained information easily. Sometimes it feels like my brain just stops working entirely for minutes at a time and I can't even recall words anymore.

On the other hand, it's Pride Month, so I think it's safe to say gay men's mental health matters this month.

That's what F5 is for.

Thanks for the "poor people shouldn't be allowed any luxuries" speech and proving my point.

Because clearly it's fine for the rich to do this, because they spend their money wisely, right? It's not a completely broken ass system that harms the poor for anything they buy to indulge themselves, right?

or that people that are always scowling and frowning

Black women and misogynoir have entered the chat.

Maybe sometimes people have valid injustices they face in their lives that make them not likely to be all sunshine and roses and smiling all the time.

Are they "evil" because they are not ready to smile and laugh with you?

The "angry black woman" stereotype has literally been used to belittle black women and paint them as "evil" and an "unstable group" for generations.

In a world that absolutely judges you based on your looks, is something that makes you look good really a "bad" investment?

This kind of shit could possibly make the difference between being hired at a job or not, as wild as that is to say.

This is also part of why many people were enamored with the idea of remote work and not needing to have a webcam. The idea that maybe, just maybe, they wouldn't be judged by their looks in a job interview but instead judged by their skills and abilities.

Further, when the majority of people cannot afford the basics (recent numbers put it at 68% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck), is it really their fault they cannot save? What kind of society are we creating when we are effectively telling the lower classes that they deserve no kindness, no pampering, no self-fulfillment? "Fuck getting that coffee, you could buy a house if you didn't!" type bullshit that is totally untrue.

Reduced to using imgur because catbox is getting a bad gateway error, bah humbug.

One way I have seen some buildings smartly handle this requirement was making most of the bottom floor of the building a parking area. I have seen both garage and open-air versions of this. It definitely has to cost more to build the building this way, but at least you're using the existing space and building upward to add more units instead of wasting space around the building.

While it is indeed stupid, it's also valid because, well... when there isn't any public transit to speak of, these low income people are sadly going to be forced into needing a car.
