I know this is late to the party, I have been binge-watching all the Defenders series in order and have now finished Luke Cage and Iron Fist. I really enjoyed Luke Cage, the end is hanging...so who knows..I wish Disney had continued with the series. I think Netflix did a good job of mixing the characters from the individual series and I loved Misty Knights crossing back and forth. I am watching series 3 of Jessica Jones now. Just sucks when you like something and it doesn't gets its due. I haven't started Daredevil Reborn I hope Disney didn't screw it up, honestly I like Luke Cage series better. Sweet Christmas!! I hope they bring him back. I hope they bring them all back!

I know I am late to the table but finally got to binge watch all of the Netflix Defenders shows in order. I wasn't sure if I would like Iron Fist it sounded like Arrow but it really isn't. I really loved Iron Fist, Danny was annoying at first but I grew to really like him, but I loved the Colleen and Walker/Mary/? mystery personality and cranky Ward characters. What a big let down when I saw Colleen with her sword and glowing with the Iron Fist at the end. It really made me want a season 3 to follow her story. Also the vibe with all the characters had really come together. I thought Netflix did a good job, with all the Defenders. Each series held their own and I loved the Defenders together. The casting was great. I loved how Misty Knight crossed back and forth as well as others. But now I have questions since I have been left hanging.. What ends up happening to Colleen? Does she end up with her own comic or storyline? What about Walker/Mary/?

Starting last month I began to not get Ralphs best customer coupons on the app anymore. I was getting them every month and there was always a free thing i bought on a regular basis. It really helped because groceries are high. Are you still getting them or is it just me?

Does anyone else experience push back about being vegan or vegetarian? I have a few friends who blame anything that happens to me on my not eating animals or being conscious of animal made products. I just got into it with a friend who was telling me because the economy is getting so bad with inflation I will have to give up being vegan because it costs too much. I told him there is NO WAY, that his meat eating is far more expensive. I was so annoyed. Anyway I am NEVER going to eat an animal EVER in my life by choice. He would not stop about it and kept pushing it. I had to hang up. I don't judge him or give him shit for being an omnivore. I don't push my agenda on him. It is like my being vegan offends him. My brother is this way too, and I have another friend I can never ever eat with because she will nonstop talk and blame everything from me being single to a sneeze on not eating meat right out the door. Where does this crap come from? It really sucks and pushes me away from them.

Hi Just found out our camp which is usually placed around 5-4ish D is now way down and over by H&I and closer to 2. I don't know why we are small quiet camp with great moop ratings. I spend most of my time volunteering around 6 and center camp so this was always never a long time or ride from camp. But this placement is much farther than any year and my old legs aren't what they used to be.

I love love my beach cruiser I have ridden for years for don't think it is gonna cut it this year. I also walk a lot too. I can't afford an expensive ebike. I am 4'11 90lbs, which has made it hard for me to find one to fit my arms and height. I see those 14" wheels folding ones pretty cheap but I don't want to wipe out or it be unstable. Anyone used one of these or have any suggestions?

Did people's brains melt in 2015 and just keep melting? Has anyone learned what a massive shitshow happens when a narcistic rich boy reality show misogynist with no experience who spouts hate get into office? I just saw the most recent results of the LA Mayors race.
First of all, I am surprised by Bass, but thought strategically Raman would be the follow up. But I am ashamed of Los Angeles and gobsmacked that Pratt had as many votes as he does. I mean he is a full on Maga, he has openly abused women, he was stupid and didn't take out fire insurance and blamed the city. I mean he has no experience whatsoever in any kind of job other than being in front of a camera and tanking selling crystals. Why? Why? Why?

Does California and LA really want to be ripped off and tanked???

The Governor's race had too many Democrats and none of them had enough selflessness to drop out to push another Democrat forward to ward off the chance a big MAGA head Fox News commentator would be running. Again have people learned NOTHING.

OMG this is how Idiocracy began, with stupid people all googly eyed by other dumbass but greedy people.

The Idiocracy, Wall-E, The Simpsons ,BTF2 Biff, Handmaids tale, Parable of Sower, It can't happen here, 1984, Natures End, Fahrenheit 451, The Circle, Terminator dystopian timeline is chugging right along.....

Los Angeles, CA- I don't know how to fill out these questions. I don't want to mark something that is wrong. I am currently getting unemployment 254 per week in unemployment that I will run out of in a month or so. But I am also not able to meet the work or volunteer requirement due to my mental health. Do I click the 'not able to work" I have a therapist I have seen for years and who told me she can't sign the paper because she works for Teledoc. She knows how debilitating my situation is and has confirmed that my sensory and mental issues are valid and have all of her notes from our sessions. I have a PCP who is hard to get an appointment with who is with a big corp so I am worried about her filling it out. I am very limited in what I can do work wise as well as volunteering. But I do look for work and apply for jobs that I can handle. I am over 60 now and not what I used to be. What I can't handle is the pressure of making the requirements. The mental anguish alone this has already caused about losing SNAP has made me severely panicked agitated depressed, pull clumps of my hair out and I have picked off large amounts of my skin all over my body due to my mental illness being aggravated from stress.
So I guess my question is- Will my EDD exempt me from ABAWD? For how long? Do I click mental health exempt as well, not knowing if I can get a letter signed or wait until my EDD runs out so I have more time to find someone to sign it and have it for the next check in? I have my interview tomorrow morning. Thank you for any help.

I have been inundated with texts both from numbers and short codes from PartnerPros, Justborrow, GoChecks, Fintara,.... I do not open them I immediately block the number and send to junk, the codes I can only junk but not block. I am on an iphone and have the crappy ATT Active Armor which does nothing. Is there any way to filter or block other than unknown sender the texts?? They are also sending me emails from different senders- street loan, Pulse, Cashemeum cedarcreek financial, red arrow loans- most are coming from manymail.io and opengatecash.com, info@prosperloan.com

Looks like all these are spam companies & someone got my info and is having a heyday. How do I stop this??

I have checked my accounts etc and there isn't any unusual activity.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a spammer that just paid all your bills? Thanks for any help or suggestions!!

I swear I am going to have a nervous breakdown from this.

Last week I got a letter "Notice of expiration of Certification" it says "Your CalFresh Certification period will end on 6/30/26" "You must file an application no later than the 15th of the last month of your certification period"
In which I interpreted as June 15 is the deadline for my application to be turned in.

"You will get a separate letter with an interview date and time"

Today I got the appointment letter it says "my appointment is 6/1/2026 8:15AM"

Why is my appointment before my 15 day deadline to get my application in?

Also if they don't recertify me since it is 6/1 and my snap money gets loaded on 6/3 will they take away snap for June??

I don't feel good with having this appointment on the first day at the first hour of the business day with all of this new policy is happening. I am afraid I will get turned down quickly because of it since no kinks have been worked out or figured out. What am the first person on the list??? Why am I getting an interview before my due date??? Please help! Thank you!!

My renewal is up in June in los Angeles California . I am happy to work. I want to work. I've been looking for work so much it is causing severe depression. The thought of losing snap and my ability to look for work via internet which I will not be able to afford if removed is making everything worse causing overwhelming anxiety.
Here is my situation-
I have sensory issues and have panic, anxiety disorders. I get claustrophobic and agoraphobia. I do not touch people, want to be touched or other people's food or personal items. Have sensory overload in situations that turn into debilitating panic. I also don't drive long distances and can't take public transportation. This has only gotten worse as i have gotten older now over 60.
I had done well in my previous career until The bottom dropped out of the industry and jobs became
Scarce. I had workarounds I established over the years because of the uniqueness of my job. I have never worked outside of my field in my entire life.
I have been applying for jobs in other industries and seen a career counselor.
I have a therapist i see regularly and am on medication. I am
not fully disabled but limited. If my therapist wrote a letter would that get me exempt? I want to work I need to work and I already volunteer but only for a couple hours and it works for me because it is a place nearby and I don't get overwhelmed but they cant give me 80 hours.
What do I do to be able to keep my snap?

I posted about the ABAWB, and how hard I am having trying to find a job. I just had a panic attack that if I lose my SNAP because I can't get the job hours etc then I will lose my discounted phone and internet that I need to find a job. I can't afford either without the discount. How can I find work if the tools I need are taken away? How am I supposed to not fall into black hole poverty. Los Angeles, CA

My SNAP is up for recertification in June in Los Angeles CA. My primary career has been freelance in film industry, but that has taken a nose dive since 2023. Although, I am constantly being put "on hold" for jobs but none of them have booked this year. How can I reflect that? In the meantime I have been voraciously applying for jobs for the last several years. It is a full time job looking for work. I have had very little response with the exception of the scammers. Interviews that take one look at me and it is over.

I am applying to literally everything grocery, costco, TJ, home depot, target, etc . Nobody will hire me. I had mad skills but it doesn't translate outside the industry. I went to a career counselor and did a resume for other industries that I submit. I am in okish physical condition but can't do heavy lifting or manual labor due to compression fractures and osteoporosis. My mental state has degraded significantly due to long term unemployment and loss of my career as well as many deaths in my family. I am struggling to get through each day. I have been in survival mode and losing my SNAP which is the only thing keeping me alive is going to drown me.

I WANT to work but am NOT getting hired. I am an older woman who looks like an older woman. I volunteer for animal rescue but won't be able to get that many hours. All I do is apply for jobs, ask people for work, beg people to refer me, and cry all the time. I don't know what to do! I hate this. I have no issue with working, I am not getting hired. How do you get help when you can't make someone hire you?

How can I keep my SNAP? How am I supposed to make it?

I have worked hard all my life and now when I need the help they push the age requirement it is cruel (and for all those others this BBB change is affecting)

I hate Cap one. They did the bait and switch when I signed up. I have a card of theirs already, and they have the highest interest rates and won't negotiate. I have a great credit score. I was not happy that they purchased Discover, and now I don't want 2 Cap one cards. Are they going to keep the 5% categories and the current interest rate?
