I will go ahead and be the one to say you shouldn't be able to buy a cupcake with food stamps.
Why not?
I'm not really opposed to the "food stamps shouldn't be used for unhealthy foods that result in higher medical bills down the road" argument.
The only problem I see is that food that isn't shit for you is so expensive.
There was this big thing in chat and another thread a year ago about how it's perfectly okay for food stamp recipients to spend their entire monthly funds on stuff like a single lobster dinner and 5$ up scale fancy bottled water.
The Windies are the colloquial name for the West Indies, a team now sadly in the doldrums but who once bestrode the cricketing world like a colossus, scaring the living shit out of batsman the world over (one of them was nicknamed Whispering Death) with terrifying fast bowling and bullying bowlers out of the park with the likes of the majestic Sir Vivian Richards.

It's wasteful and unhealthy. Soda, candy, cupcakes, cookies... none of these should be available for purchase. Toothpaste, diapers, toilet paper, and ziplock bags, on the other hand, should be.

Good show.
Btw I need to figure out what we are doing in terms of you getting here on friday and feeding you and such. Also I need to clear the stacks of spare furniture out of the spare room.
Also I can got to a local farmers market, get a ton of good veggies and a bill that is no more than twenty bucks. Toss that in a stew with some cheap meat, and bingo you got food for a week.
The issue is not that bad food is cheaper, its that people don't want to eat what you need to eat when you don't have the money to spend on the nicer things in life.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Sheep how much gameplay does E.Y.E. have for someone with a short attention span that only tends to make it through games once? Infinite Re playability means fuck all for me. I like a nice long game because I'm probably only going to play it once.

Not quite sure how it works in the UK but in the civilized world we feed our guests the same foods that we ourselves hope to ingest.

It is pretty fucking retarded how you can't buy diapers with food stamps but you can buy Doritos.

I just got invited to an impromptu bachelor party tonight. Hm. I don't really see these people very often anymore and wasn't invited to their wedding that is this Sunday (that was about the time when I shrugged and already had other friend groups). Debating going for drinks.
I think my ex-fiance will be there as she has just flown in from New York. We talk all the time but maybe I don't want to see her since I just started dating someone after 2 years of not calling a lady my girlfriend. Or I could bring my new girlfriend.

I can't imagine how terrifying it must have been to face the likes of Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh, Malcolm Marshall and Michael "Whispering Death" Holding back in their prime.
I mean, look at this. Ambrose breaks Geoff Lawson's jaw here. You'd feel like you were facing a firing squad.

For me, my current experience with EYE is basically load it up, do something, and then die. You keep your XP and the like, and depending on the death, you might instantly be revived.
It's a pretty difficult game. I've heard it's 20 or so hours long. It has a Borderlands like jump in/jump out persistent multiplayer, and that's what I've been doing lately.
Tons of gameplay, though, because often times I round a corner, see a shit ton of turrets and baddies and die. Then I resurrect and instead hack the turrets and the PC and overload it all Deus Ex style and kill everyone with their own weapons.
There's also that neat power that lets you telefrag into someone.

If television has taught me anything its that you should whip up a nice curry for your guests Japan.

There are some strange things to using foodstamps. You can't buy deli meat from the meat counter, but you can buy the exact same brand and amount of meat if it's prepackaged.
You can buy candy bars but not weight-watcher's protein bars.

I could get sufficient calories on under a hundred bucks a month but I'd be astoundingly miserable.
Yeah, one thing that people fail to take into account is that working for low pay and being poor is a huge drain on willpower. I mean you have little to look forward to as far as luxuries so going even further to take food luxuries away (unhealthy but delicious stuff) hurts. If you can never afford to go on vacation or own fancy stuff, eating doritos might be the only thing a person has to look forward to.
There's a lot to the problem of social inequality, but that's just a tiny way I see people just generally dismissing people on food stamps because they buy soda. No doubt I'm expressing myself poorly. I'm basically a social worker at heart though.
edit: I have also been very poor in my time. Now I live frugally but well, in my opinion, but I credit being formerly poor with my meager salary feeling like more than enough for everything I want and still saving 25% of it a month.

We can get you from the station, unless you really fancy a wander around Brum city centre to take a look at the riot damage.

Pretty sure that's a cherry dawg, but yeah, he's taking the assessment of the situation that his partner gave him and cleverly expanding upon it.

I make a good biryani, and Cesca can whip up some serious saag aloo.
If by "caviar" you mean "beans" and "lobster" you mean "Bernard Matthews Dinosaurs" then I think this could work.
