How is music, the best thing the world, a waste of time? I could give a **** about being the best, I just do it by chance.

You kiiii and mondo all make music worth listening to

That’s different

everybody else up in here sucks the dong

Dude. Absolutely **** that. Play music if it makes you happy because that's all that matters. If you keep trying and trying without any enjoyment, then maybe it's just not your thing but more often than not you'll get better with time and get a lot of satisfaction out of it. **** worrying about other people listening to it. Just do it for your mental health.

I can’t draw a picture. I can’t hold a tune. I can’t even come up with my own sexual fantasies. I have to use porn.

Consider yourself lucky. I give myself the creeps.

Washington Post:

Quote:

This summer, Arkansas became the first state to require poor people to prove they’re employed to receive Medicaid.

With new work requirement, thousands lose Medicaid coverage in Arkansas

So the poorer you are the less likely you are to get help. They should burn the hospitals down. It’s amazing to me how ****ing passive the poor are in America.

People have to go online and log their work hours

Quote:

Anna Book worries she's hanging onto her health care by a thread. She works about 24 hours a week as a dishwasher at a restaurant in downtown Little Rock. Book has spent many years homeless, getting help from pastor Paul Atkins at Canvas Community Church.
Paul Atkins:

So, you reported income, 51 hours.
Anna Book:

Oh, so I missed about 30 hours?
Catherine Rampell:

He now works with her each month to log her work hours. If she makes every shift at the restaurant, she is just able to meet the monthly threshold.

But it's not just putting in the hours. Users or their authorized designees then have to record that time in an online-only portal. That portal shuts down every night at 9:00 until 7:00 the next morning. And Arkansas has the lowest household Internet access of any state.
Anna Book:

Being homeless, I don't have a lot of access to anything. I have Paul do the insurance, who actually files the work requirements for me, because I don't have access to a computer to do it.

How the **** is it possible that there’s no violent backlash?

Quote:

the gov should do its ****ing job and provide real work

That’s disgusting

Quote:

the whole thing is humiliation based on a false narrative that the poor are lazy

The lie is that laziness is bad.

Demanding UBI means getting money for doing NOTHING.

**** jobs. Contribute nothing.
