Huh, I found the settings you’re referring to and I’m on Button Mode.

I have tried the swipe gesture on other apps and it doesn’t close them. I’m not sure why Sync is different.

But when I opened other apps and tried the same swipe, nothing happened. Is os a phone setting of some kind that you’re referring to?

Nothing like that? What are you reading into that mocking authority is equivalent to being in a criminal gang?

Laughing at the people who rule you isn’t a crime.

I’m not sure why you’re moving out, but can I offer an unconventional idea?

Look at things like workaway for housing. Different hosts have different minimum and maximum stays, but this would be temporary anyways.

Try a work exchange program. You work, they provide accommodation and sometimes much more. Bills are taken care of (you’re a guest), your accommodation costs only up to 25 hours of your time, and there could be other perks like them letting you use the staples in their pantry or invite you to dine with them. They can show you around the area and tell you good info. Maybe they have a bike or even a car to lend.

There a lot of different types of jobs to pick to find one that suits your needs. Some job examples are farmwork, IT help, teaching, nannying, accounting, dog-sitting, and even plain-old house-sitting!

And since it’s just regular people making a deal, there can be a lot of flexibility schedule-wise if you have school or job hours.

It could be a nice way to move out and not be alone with all those bills, rent, and furniture buying/moving until you get your “sea-legs” in your new environment :)

*I will add that hosts’ accommodations can range from a tent in their backyard to an apartment/house for yourself. There may also be more than one work-exchange guest, but it’s pretty much roommates.

As a kid around age 5-6, I wanted to be a garbage truck driver. I knew that jobs paid the bills, and garbage truck drivers only had to work one day a week!

If only.

I’m happily stuck with my job in special education now. I didn’t know squat about myself when I was 5 :)

I see how that becomes a negative feedback loop. Gotta think some more.

Social work. I work in social work. I added loss leaders as a comment to provide context that stores make financial decisions that are a loss for the specific reason of getting more people to the store so they buy more. A food bank might be a loss that leads to more sales.

Ok. I got my “free food”, but maybe I want some ketchup for my potatoes too? I don’t mean to imply a foodbank will bring in net profits, but it can lessen the cost of running the bank.

Is a food store having a charity branch unrealistic?

Putting hypothetical profits before human needs is a problem. I’m not saying you don’t have an argument. Just commenting that that is what is being said.

I’m happy to hear your store does some donating. This is what we’re aiming for as a first step :)

That’s an extreme claim. Not believable.

What did I fail to understand? I said some churches are doing the work of charity and that I hope the many churches that don’t (the griffs) will follow the example.

Nope. Enjoy bumfuck nowhere my friend!

This is an idea to flesh out. There are so many barriers. When you discover a problem, try to also find a solution instead of tossing it in the trash.

(Loss leaders are a thing too)

The same company. If they are far from their employees it’s not the employees’ fault.

They hired Bob in the first place, meaning they want his work. Now it’s on company time instead of the people’s time. How much work do people actually do in their 9-5s?

Try not looking at this from a money perspective over a people perspective. Companoes threw fits and anguish at the ideas of 40 hour workweek, weekends, overtime pay, etc, yet here we are! 32 hour work weeks and commute time included on the 8 hours can be next.

I hear your criticisms, but I also think you are not on the same page of understanding my idea as I am. It’s a shower thought anyways.

Agree 100%

Not that it is expected to be content with stale oreos, but yea. Some is better than none :)

Perfection of quality expectations ruins so many things way too fast.

Staff from the store itself. I see no barrier for a large business with m/billions in profit to add additional staff to run the food bank area.

To add a capitalist view: the food bank brings in people who might buy more. Yes, they are there to get food for survival, but the money saved might be spent on other goods like clothes or supplies in the store. (Stuff they need but wouldn’t be able to buy for food budget reasons).

In my area, that is not the case.

I’m happy that your community is flowing well. Fantastic! Let’s encourage more to follow that lead.

Churches in concept are amazing. They are a place for people to gather and learn about morals and ethics and such, to bond with the community. And then there is(maybe) free food after service where you can eat and chat with other people.

And the other services they can provide, like food banking, homeless help, counseling, community space, being a safe space, a refuge with resources. I’m glad there are some institutions doing it. I hope they are the snowball that triggers the avalanche, but so many churches are money vacuums draining their communities :(

I would love to see more churches climb to the top and better their commuities. I choose to be hopeful. One step at a time :)
