It's actually worse than that. They want the (highly contagious) corpses of ebola victims to be released to the families, so they can have a heckin' proper (religious) funeral.

They're mad that the facilities are not releasing the (highly contagious) bodies to the dead person's family for "proper" burial. The facilities are instead following proper protocol, and burying the bodies safely. Some of them honestly believe that Ebola isn't real, and is instead a scam by white westerners to steal Black bodies for nefarious purposes.

It's literally just ignorance and paranoia. They're attacking the very people who are helping them, because of a conspiracy theory and a lack of education.

I was in Sierra Leone during their outbreak in 2015 (I'm not a healthcare worker, but I was there to feed the healthcare workers), and we faced similar challenges. We had to cancel our mission because we were attacked so many times, and it wasn't safe to be there.

Maybe they should stop setting the treatment centers on fire?

People shit on frozen burger patties, but on a lazy day I can take 4 out of the freezer and in less than ten minutes I've got a couple double cheeseburgers. I cook them directly from frozen, no defrost, 4 minutes on one side, then flip em and add cheese, cover, and in 3 more minutes they're done. While they're cooking, I rehydrate some dehydrated onions (like they do at McDonald's), and get some pickles on the buns. Add some ketchup and Bob's your uncle.

It's not gourmet, and it's not the healthiest thing you can eat, but it tastes good and fills the belly. Works great for me on Mondays when I'm recovering from working 12 hour shifts Friday-Sunday.

I think I'm in love.

Poverty is also vital. Enticing poor teens with money for college, signing bonuses that are more money than they've ever seen in one place, and cheap/free healthcare is a strong motivation.

When my wife and I got our first apartment, it was a tiny studio. 15'x12'. But, as our family grew, we needed more space to accommodate the kids. We currently have 13 people in our household, and we built another extension on our house to bring it to 14 bedrooms. Sometimes I miss the simplicity of that tiny studio. Being able to clean our entire living space in like 20 minutes was pretty great. But the tradeoff of having enough space to build a big family is worth it IMO. If my life had gone differently, and I was just a single dude, or if my wife and I had decided to go the DINK route, I'd be fine in a tiny home.

But it was really nice being able to open my home to my niece when my sister went to prison and my niece had nowhere to go. When my oldest son's marriage imploded and he needed to move back home (with his kids in tow), it was nice to have the space to host them. I try to always have an empty room in case someone I love is in a bad situation. Couldn't really do that in a tiny home.

I also host most big family events, like Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4th of July and whatnot. I have a HUGE extended family, and we generally have ~50 guests in addition to our own household. Trying to host 50 guests in a tiny home would be impossible. Trying to cook enough food in a tiny kitchen would be an insane endeavor. Not to mention the idea of all those people trying to share one tiny bathroom.

!It's a classic joke/prank that you can only pull off on people who have never heard of it. Basically, you ask someone if they want to play 52 pickup, and if they say yes, you throw a deck of cards all over the floor, and now they have to pick up all 52 cards.!<

In today's media, if someone "claps back" at you it means they responded to you, usually in a witty and/or mean way. But that's very far from it's initial meaning.

The phrase originated in AAVE, specifically in gangsta rap culture, where it referred to shooting someone for disrespecting you. Basically, instead of a verbal "comeback" to the insult, you would "clap" back. "Clap" in this context is referencing the sound a gun makes (like a clap of thunder).

The earliest reference I can find for this meaning of "clap" is in the EPMD song "Cummin' At Cha" (1992), which contains the lyric:

Liggity let the nines clap, cause I'm back to the Manpike.

Seriously. I saw that it was a space for women, and since I'm not a woman I blocked the community so I don't accidentally comment in a community where I'm not wanted. If the ladies need a space to vent, there's nothing wrong with that.
