PLEASE elaborate on great white shark friends

great white sharks are usually solitary creatures but there are places and times that they congregate for feeding, breeding, for the reasons we just don't know! and when large numbers of great whites congregate in a fairly small area they suddenly become fully social animals, with a pecking order and clearly defined social rules. (female great white sharks always get deference from male white sharks for starters, even if the male white shark is actually larger!)

and the sharks all clearly know and remember each other, since they come to the same place at the same time and see the same shark faces year after year. and some individuals seem to prefer to hang out specifically with each other over other sharks! they aren't like hugging or anything, but they definitely chill together in the same general area. shark friends.

(sharks are now known to be intelligent animals, and great white sharks are more intelligent than most! SHARK FRIENDS)

The memory lives

Like a trace

Faint yet discernible

Subtle yet settled in a way

That makes its relocation

Irrevocable.

It exists like an ache

That when felt again and again

Becomes an innate shape

Of the desire within,

Moulding the pattern

Of the residual life

In it's motions.

And one can beseech

Cast repeated appeals

For it to vacate

It's large swathes of territories,

Yet it lives like a callous certainty,

Against the pervasive presence

Of a dedicated envy.

even if the fraud was like 5% it wouldn’t compare to rich people cheating the system by trillions lmao

Also, SNAP “fraud” is like exchanging some of your stamps for cash to buy necessities you can’t buy with stamps, like soap or deodorant or tampons

TBH even if one hundred percent of people on food stamps were committing food stamp fraud I’d still be in favor of keeping the program around

Hey I wanna talk about this.

I work at a drug addiction counseling center. A ton of my clients have, at one time or another, sold their food stamps. This is basically exactly what the GOP is afraid of, right? Drug addicts selling their food stamps.

I have learned, now, to ask them WHY they sold their food stamps. Here is an incomplete list of the answers:

- I need tampons, and you can’t buy them with foodstamps

- See above RE: toilet paper

- I was living in a hotel with no kitchen then. I had to buy pre-prepared food

- The homeless shelter won’t let me keep food in my locker or room, so I have to buy pre-prepared food (Yes, really)

- I had to make rent

- My sister had to make rent

- My son had to make rent

- I needed co-pays to get my medication or I’ll die

- I needed co-pays to get my medication or I’ll loose control of my mental health

But the absolute most common form of food stamp fraud I see? Giving away food stamps to other family members who get no food stamps or insufficient food stamps to feed their families. I see that every month. People glassy eyed and hungry because they gave away their food to their adult kids, their grand kids, cousins, siblings etc.

So, is food stamp fraud rampant? In some places, yes. And I’m not about to chastise people for it.
