Let’s get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.

    We have tons of shelters in the US too. Talk to any homeless person though and they’ll tell you they don’t use the shelter because it either: forces them to not use drugs, splits up a family, has lots of sexual assaults going on, or has more health related problems than it’s worth.

      last time i took a shower at a homeless shelter:
      you have to hand all your stuff to a guy at a window, he puts it in a bag, then you go to a medium sized room with several shower heads spraying towards the middle…
      so you don’t just get your shower, you get the water bouncing off a dozen naked homeless guys…
      the water is a tepid, narrow, painful jet…
      i caught scabies and athletes foot…
      …
      i’ve taken one other one at a shelter in another city and state and it was identical…
      …
      gym is way better, otherwise i’d rather take a bird bath in a random bathroom sink…

      Oh definitely, it’s not a great option regardless so if you have the ability to pay, the gym is definitely the better option.
