What's the worst place you've ever lived?

This is a killer. I’m with Mindysan on trying to split a place, because that would save a ton on food. I hope things improve for you soon.

What's the worst place you've ever lived?

Man… I have been fortunate. No idea what you should do. I wish I could help but I have no income right now. How much longer do you figure you’re gonna need to save money? Is there a friend you can crash with for long enough? I really hope things work out for you. This sucks.

What's the worst place you've ever lived?

No, SF. This hotel has zero amenities but I’m termed out next Friday. If they let you stay >30 days apparently you gain all sorts of tenant rights and can be a pain in the ass to evict. Some of the other places I’ve stayed have minifridges in the room and microwaves in a communal area (and civilized bathrooms! and maid service!) but those are at minimum $120/night. Nice enough inside, but the neighborhood is thick with crackheads and junkies and other people who have very loud vocal problems wit…

What's the worst place you've ever lived?

My shift ends just as BART shuts down, so I’d need a car, at which point I might as well live someplace like Pacifica or Crockett/Port Costa. It’s under serious consideration. I like driving and I like small waterfront towns. I could hang out at Sea Bowl! [image]

What's the worst place you've ever lived?

Really, really wish I could help. I found a room in EPA for 900. Is Caltrain/Bart an option and going to SSF, Oakland, Hayward, etc? For food I could donate a rice cooker, that and a hot plate served me great in Phoenix while I got on my feet. One thing I could do if you’re interested is physically check out rooms or locations on weekends. I also have a decent car and can move a moderate (moderate! :D) amount of stuff. ETA I hadn’t read all the comments. Sorry for the dupe info.

Clinton apologizes after calling Trump's bigoted supporters "deplorable"

I.e. grotesquely, blatantly corrupt, to a degree that would be felonious in most of the developed world.

Clinton apologizes after calling Trump's bigoted supporters "deplorable"

The Republicans have been attacking her for just about a quarter century because they don’t like her husband. This cycle, Bernie’s supporters piled on from the left. It’s pretty much that simple. Clinton is very popular when she’s in office, and largely unpopular when she’s running for office, which might suggest that she’s better at doing the jobs than she is at being a politician. Weird that that’s exactly what people claim to want and yet when they get it, they whine that she’s (1) not pu…

Well, she is a woman.

This whole “political violence” thing, do you mean things like the woman who attacked two other woman because they were wearing muslim headscarves? Or the attacks on and jeering of those who look Latino? No, seriously, who has been assaulted for being a Republican voter?

Clinton apologizes after calling Trump's bigoted supporters "deplorable"

A Muslim candidate wouldn’t. This is late stage bigotry, at the national level.

What if I don’t believe America is in two exclusive camps, but a varied spectrum of different interests and opinions, of people who may be willing to compromise on one thing or another and often vote the options they can find accordingly – but also think that throwing your enthusiastic support behind someone who’s whole campaign has been built on promises of stamping down on minorities means you have deplorable views? Is that allowed? Or do I have to pretend supporting the R and D party are al…

I don’t get it. What’s “grotesque” about it? A bit tacky perhaps, but I really don’t see any problem with a display like this. Some people just like to be outraged at something all the time I guess.

Great article. Welcome back, @Cowicide! Neoliberalism, from this point on, will not have the cover it did before the Sanders campaign. . . . The fantasy that only neoliberal stalwarts have the competence to handle money and defense has been shattered. . . . [T]he key idea progressives should take from his winning campaign is that the first and most important thing to do is to change the terms of discourse, because to speak in the other side’s language is to concede defeat.

http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/06/27/483686616/supreme-court-strikes-down-abortion-restrictions-in-texas Thankfully, some good news. In the wake of Brexit and the fear that such tribalism could further stoke Trump supporters, I hope Clinton makes a hard turn and focuses the rest of her campaign on the Supreme Court vacancy that hangs in the balance. Clinton doesn’t have my favourite set of policies, but the Supremes definitely seem to be going in the proper direction.

Actress Jen Richards explains the problem with casting cis actors in trans roles

I guess that makes sense, but wouldn’t it also apply to the Tom Hanks example? Back in the 90s plenty of people (that is, more than today) talked about homosexuality as a “choice of lifestyle” rather than an inherent human trait.

Actress Jen Richards explains the problem with casting cis actors in trans roles

The other tricky thing here is that, quite frankly, I think a lot of transgender people would prefer to just be themselves. If you’ve transitioned and now identify as female, and you’ve always felt female, then most likely you’re going to prefer to identify as a female actor, rather than specifically a “transgender female actor” who’s limited to those roles. Transgender people don’t want to be seen as just trans. They’re men and women.

Actress Jen Richards explains the problem with casting cis actors in trans roles

Now see, I’m not interested in SRS, but if something like that was available it would make life so much easier, especially for people like myself. Today, I’ve been more female, but tomorrow I mostly have to present as male. Transformation magic for the win! *Poof!* I actually think most of your post here is good, but I have to correct that one. It would be easier if most of us figured out that we aren’t our assigned genders early in life, but it’s just not always that easy. (This is even more…
