That’s the expected cost to taxpayers over 10 years from Obama’s proposed free tuition plan, the White House admitted Friday.

That’s about the cost of 8 months of war in Iraq. Seems like a much better investment of my tax dollars to me.

I bolded

It’s amazing how 80 billion isn’t worth mentioning when it’s about killing people, but is suddenly a huge, horrifying barrier when it’s about improving lives.

I’d still pay for it this. I’d be the one good thing my taxes would be going towards. Cause it sure ain’t going to infrastructure or schools at this rate »

#is this number meant to scare me? #80 billion over ten years #so 8 billion a year #divided by the total number of tax payers in america #in 2013 there were 242 million taxpayers #so going off that number#it would cost the average american taxpayer $33 a year #wow so scary what a horrible way to spend $33

amen. this is, what, dinner and drinks at a mediocre sit-down restaurant for two? I’d spare it.

The last comment thank you

YO YES PLEASE BROKE COLLEGE STUDENT APPROVES.  MOTHERFUCK, I CAN’T AFFORD TO GO TO THE MOVIES AND EVEN I COULD PAY THIS.

Real talk, if any of you guys need me to be your fake gf/BF because you got some creep talking to you, let me know. I got you. I’ll make myself look hot and be all lovey and intimidating so they can hop off

Any time guys I got you. No strings attached fake relationship partner here ready to go.

I have the possessive girlfriend thing down and I’ve been told that I do scary like no one else.  I expect nothing in return.  I got you covered.

As are toiletries!

I would also advice NOT to buy wool socks because yes, they are warm, but wool shrinks very easily, some people are allergic to wool, and wet wool is one of the most uncomfortable things in the world.

Thick cotton socks would be best, they’d last the longest and be the easiest to take care of and clean.

- Jane

Cotton is best. Always cotton

I feel the need to STRESS the necessity of socks. For the event AMOK through Random Acts this year, we went to DTLA to pass out donations. At one point we basically ran out and some of us broke off from the group to buy some more items. We ended up at a convenience store that had two boxes of cotton socks. We bought them and as we were walking one man asked us if we had socks. And we said “Yes.” and gave him a pair and then suddenly we were surrounded by individuals all asking for socks. We were out of socks in a few moments. I can say from personal experience that socks were the most important article of clothing that they wanted.

And as far as toiletries go, tampons. TAMPONS AND PADS. One woman was so excited, gracious, and thankful to receive tampons and pads, as it is a donation that seems to be overlooked. So please, of donations that could be given, while all articles of clothing and food and other necessities are more than welcome, socks and tampons and pads are largely needed.

And if you could spend the extra couple of bucks for special diabetic socks, you could save a homeless diabetic persons foot. Please.

Why is it that every innocent post about this man becomes sexual?

It has nothing to do with the ‘innocent’ and everything to do with ‘this man.’

“I’ve never been to war. I can’t have PTSD.” Yes, you can.

“I’m not suicidal. I can’t have depression.” Yes, you can.

“He’s never hit me. It can’t be abuse.” Yes, it can.

Suffering is not a contest. Your experiences are valid. Seek out the help you need.

SUFFERING IS NOT A CONTEST

One more time for the folks in the back: SUFFERING IS NOT A CONTEST.

a conversation i had with a 96-year-old woman

  • 96 yr old: You know how your parents probably say things like, "you were BORN with the internet, you don't know what it's like to live without!"
  • Me: yeah
  • 96 yr old: Well, my parents said that to me about electricity.

sometimes i’m like “why am i still here” but then i realize that i’m often the only person who is around to take bad-to-eat stuff out of my dog’s mouth and i think there’s this sort of western idea of “if youre not CEO youre nothing special” but my dog is still alive bc of me and i’m still alive bc of other people so maybe i’m just here to pet cats and wear sweaters and help people take the glass out of their mouth. you know? maybe i won’t be CEO but maybe i’ll be able to help somebody afford their trip home. and i think that’s pretty okay, you know?

i needed to hear this today i think
