Because she’s a teenager and they’re grumpy when they’re made to go somewhere for some stupid Thanksgiving and have a stupid dinner with stupid relatives.
oh for a moment I was like… “shit what have I missed this time?” lol
good luck; I have a 13 old who’s sarcastic eye roll is fucking lethal, like, multiple teachers have commented.
Someone mentioned to me the other day: nothing I can mess up in this kid’s life (within reason) will be worse than the climate apocalypse coming. So enjoy this time.
Lol as if i ever could have stopped my dad from playing it. He would wait till we were all in the car then turn it way up, only way to get him to turn it down was to take all our headphones off and listen quietly
If you turn the volume up then you can’t hear the complaining. Non compliance is met with more watts. Old man ears are callous to extreme loud and can tolerate it better than any child and most woman. This is how i was raised. I also have tinnitus, so i too am become callous eared.
if you’re going to feed more than five people at a time, ask for a permit and attend our seminar so we can advise you how to do it safely and meet health code
if you’re going to do it on public property, do it at the site we’ve set up for this purpose
if you’re going to do it on private property, go for it after you get permission from the property owner
Instead, the people who got in trouble set up a food truck at a public library.
Seminar sounds like the city can make it difficult by not offering it or charging some ridiculous price. Other than that, finding a business to let you use their parking lot once a week doesn’t sound that difficult. People do it all the time.

From what I’ve seen when this was first posted on Lemmy, “the site we’ve set up for this purpose” was the former police headquarters. A lot of people, especially not rich people living unhoused, might not want to go onto police property, especially in a city like Houston.
That’s an excellent point. It does surprise me that there’s only one designated public location. Houston is a huge place. You’d think there would be one in each district at very least.
…the point of the law is to stop people feeding the homeless. In their fucked up minds, if they make the city inhospitable to the people without money or resources, they’ll leave. Ignoring the fact that they don’t have the resources to do that. So it’s basically a “if you’re homeless, die quickly” law.
The city has had an ordinance restricting how volunteers can feed people since 2012, but it's gone largely unenforced until recently, The Houston's Chronicle's R.A. Schuetz wrote. The rule stipulates that a person must obtain permission from a property owner before providing food to groups larger than five.
Here’s my plug to ask y’all to join food not bombs. They serve vegan meals prepared under strict cleanliness methods to provide safe meals and various supplies like cleansing products, clothing, etc. Volunteer with your local branch!
Also Texas. Tony Hinchcliffe told a story about getting kicked out of a Whataburger for being gay. His friend got arrested and held but not charged. This was 10 years ago, not 50. Texas sucks.
And I suppose most of them didn’t even have to deal with thousand-dollar electricity bills caused by that winter storm in 2021, or running the real risk of freezing to death in a semi desertic state
I work in tech for a Texas-based company. I live & work out of my home in Massachusetts. Never even been to the Texas HQ, and certainly not in any rush to do so.
