When people bitch that the world isn't fair but...
A major pet peeve to me. Too many people in our world actually are in need, not in a “fair” position, and are completely willing to receive help for there to be anyone willing to complain and not accept help. It gets worse when it’s about ridiculous problems that, honestly, if pride wasn’t such a factor would have been solved ages ago.
We all bitch for no REAL reason at...

The goal was to increase accountability, which is important for a department that is facing afederal takeover this March.
However, the above video, which shows several officers with their body-mounted cameras turned off –...

That Valentine's Day Weekend Bud
Just woke up from a nightmare
A mass (like, never, ending back to back, tsunami type shit) of Haunters were trying to break into my apartment by slamming themselves into the windows and doors. It was terrifying. >_<

I wish I could show you all the bag of vaped weed I got here. It’s like a United Nations of every strain attainable in the New York Metro area (and some visitors from outside the city!). Oh and can’t forget the stems… I got stems for days, from mad strains! And Jah knows how much fresh bud I’ll be able to add to that!

You know, it never hit me until I read this. A much more effective comprehensive approach to relief for Haiti would have been to invest into their economy by purchasing food from local farmers and giving it to residents in needy areas.
