There is no definitive test. Its not like there is a blood test or scan. Second where is the proof that 100% of people that met the definition would go on to harm? The whole concept of better to set 10 guilty free than condemn one innocent is pretty damn important. I wouldn't be surprised if you met some criteria for something harmful or related to criminal activity, should we incarcerate you just to be safe? What's next? Eugenica?

Then the intimacy was criminalized still not the existence. That case was talking specifically about a sodomy law. If you do not have sex is your existence causing a crime? No. Now was the law intended to target gay people? Absolutely that was the case and it criminalized an important part of intimate relationships. You do not need to have sex to be gay and those people were not "criminalized.". It was bigoted and meant to target gay people by targeting an act that people can do. This really feels like an argument about semantics. Im not against anything relating to gay, straight or sodomy but am a stickler for meaning and clarity.

I have bunch of health issues and it got to the point I had to work less so I could get medicaid. In the last few years things have gotten worse and I'm going for disability but am not eligible for the regular social security part. I will get approximately $800 a month to live off for disability. It may have gone up touch.

I live alone in a 600sqft one bedroom and my electric bill is about $50 a month now that rates habe gone up again. I do have a small full size fridge and don't use the oven often. It is still expensive for 1 small light, a Tv for four hours a day, a phone, a tablet and a microwave.

Las Delicias Latina

My Step Mother was from Mexico and between going there and being cross mixed with the Mexican community in Tennessee I grew to appreciate much of their culture. Like ours it has its better parts, its "worse" parts and its stranger parts. The food at Las Delicias Latina was identical to my step mothers, the Mexican community in TN and in Mexico. It was better than my Step Mothers cooking too. The atmosphere, color scheme, music, everything was just right. It transported me back to Mexico. Everyone was nice and the prices were good. I'd love to get loot there again but without a car and being disabled sadly I probably wont.

Las Delicias Latina

I only got to eat there a handful of times TBE year before Covid started when I lived out there. The ambiance, food, staff and everything elae made me feel like I was in Mexico (although it could be a neighboring country) again. My step mother was from Mexico and I got to spend time on a handful of trips in Mexico from Mexico City as to way out in the country far from tourist areas. Famous places to rural villages. When I lived in Tennessee there was a large Mexican community there that I was loosely a part of and I enjoyed much of the culture and A LOT of genuine food.......

Las Delicias Latina is authentic in food and atmosphere from color, design and music to staff and especially food I genuinely felt like I was in Mexico when in that restaurant and I want to go back so bad now, if only I had a car. The prices were great too. Just incredible, all of it. And I found it completely by accident. I was struggling to stay sober and I walked home a different way to avoid liquor stores however I saw this place and it combined with the beer sign drew me in. I did drink (lapsed for one night) that night but not the other times there.
