Utility charges are a scam. Winter and the heat is on? Bill is high AF. Summer and the AC is on? Bill is high AF. Spring or Fall and you had a good day? Well guess what. The bill is high AF.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

What seems to have happened here is that an anthology was updated and Junot Diaz's work — like dozens of other authors — was taken out.
Were previous editions destroyed? No.
Are Diaz's stories no longer available? No.
How has he 'been disappeared' exactly?

We don’t talk enough about how much it sucks getting food, particularly parts seeds from things like raspberries, wedged in the top of a molar. Unlike popcorn kernels in the gums, it doesn’t hurt, but damn it so annoying and difficult to dislodge.

Car ownership is such a debtor's prison. On top of just paying for the car itself, you have insurance, license, registration, plates, stickers, gas, maintenance, parking, etc. Then the unseen potential costs; ticketing, tow truck fees, how many people have SiriusXM just for the commute?
