My local PD has a non emergency number, but it is almost always answered by 911.

Don’t fight back when we try and kill you, or we will kill you.

Then it is either time for bed, or lemnynsfw/yiffit

In 1992 I thought the GOP cared about extra marital sexual activity. They do not.

Is that what happened? I thought the owner said the firewall physically failed.

And when polled, none of them disagreed.

And if he will ask people to pay to use it, they will, rightfully so, switch to a different instance.

I joined my instance’s patreon and donate $1 / month. I know it is not a lot, but so far the admin says he is doing fine on cash flow, should that change I will up my donation if able.

Nothing I was ever subscribed to, and why not post a direct link to the community?

I just made a post and a comment on a community on a closed instance. Both went through okay, but will never federate.

You can actually make a new post on an instance that has closed, you can also reply to posts on a closed instance

Almost anywhere

And that one dude is checking his phone.

They could have been a signal chat.

If someone came and stole it all our parent entity would likely tell us we can no longer keep the door open to allow a breeze to come through the building. Or they would install metal bars on the doors.

Qrstuv or something is the mod, he banned me for an incomplete sentence.

I checked to ensure it was in fact a complete sentence.

There is another user who mods half a dozen or so communities and locks every post as soon as they make it. Roundsparrow I think is that user.

I am in contact with someone now that may be facilitating something along these lines. Not to the extent with which you propose, but I am working on something.

I will get right on that! Thank you for letting me know something out of our hands is a problem and something we need to fix with no resources, only volunteers.

I have gotten used to using the state abbreviation for New Mexico because a lot of people in the states see the “Mexico” and assume it is not a state. But they see NM and know that is a state. I forget that outside of the US people generally know our states better. Hell even our president does not realize we are a state.

Less than a block from the food bank is an old motel that has been turned into apartments. But they have no kitchens. The place is so old most of the rooms do not have microwaves. A lot of our “customers” live there.

I worked in the movie industry for a couple years, and I lived in motel rooms with microwaves. I hardly cooked anything because it was a pain in the ass.

I said they did not want it in large quantities. Most of the people who come through the bank are conscious of other’s and know they do not have the time or means to deal with all of the extra fresh produce while working multiple jobs, or some live in a motel room with only a microwave. So they do not take something that maybe someone else could use. We did have some people taking cases. But not everyone can deal with that.

Everyone was given, I think, 4 heads of cauliflower and a dozen tomatoes in their cart. Very few did not take them. They were also offered a case of veggies. Which most declined. Hell I did not even take a full case myself because I know I did not have time to process it.
