A few members might have heard this( one knows it very well). Let me start by saying that I have high Functioning autism

A few years ago. I was in a "fight" with the university of Victoria to attend my commencement ceremony because of the program I was in.

We fought and won.

A few years ago my parents nominated me and a friend , who was my fighter when I wanted to drop it, for "community impact award" by Autism BC.

I found out I was shortlisted last month....

This night is a helluva night for me

Somebody's mapping software needs to be re-calibrated.

To be fair, having Banff be there instead of what's currently in that location would be a massive improvement.

Homelessness in the San Francisco Bay Area - Wikipedia
San Francisco. As of 2014, the city is believed to have approximately 7,000 homeless residents. As of 2015, approximately 71% of the city's homeless had housing in the city before becoming homeless, while the remaining 29% came from outside of San Francisco. This figure is up from 61% in 2013.

30 mil / 7000 = 4,285, in case you were wondering. Enough in San Fran for almost a month's rent for a one bed studio.



Or like 5 months' rent in most places elsewhere.

If people wanted to live elsewhere their rents would look the same.

Pointing to increased housing costs as the direct cause of homelessness is like pointing to a drug dealer as the direct cause of drug addiction. It doesn't help but it's hardly the most responsible culprit.

I'm glad they covered the alligator's face to save him from public humiliation.
Standard procedure for protecting the victim's identity. Plus they didn't publish the alligator's name because it was underage.

The perp actually put that there because he thought the gator was a tad ugly. But a Florida Man's gotta do what a Florida Man's gotta do.

So, is there like some training course at the start of a career, or is it just that the job of "Car Salesman" only attracts the smarmiest pieces of human garbage? It's astonishing how every single one is a liar. And not even a good one.

There's one particular car, a Mazda CX-9 that the missus wants. To replace her old CX-9 that is going to the boy. One salesman, AT A MAZDA DEALER, said "we don't see them often. I've been here ten years and I have maybe only seen 10 total for sale." There are 3 on the lot right now. Plus we bought hers there 7 years ago. And they had three to choose from then. So, Dave, that's SIX.

Another dealer tried to tell us, after we made an offer on one, that their selling price was already 2500 less than the "trade in value". So I said "I could buy this 10 times and keep trading it back in and eventually get one for free?".
