I donated some spindles of burned media and programs to Salvation Army expecting they'd throw 'em out. They're selling 'em for $3. - eviltoast

      They told me I would need to renounce my homosexuality or else they wouldn’t provide me with any services. Fuck the Salvation Army.

        The people who took care of me were genuinely of God. I suppose YMMV depending if you live in a sane country or not. We do live in the single most atheist country on the planet though, so I guess it’s not globally representative…

              I spent January and February of 2020 in a state park living in a two man summer tent that I had used twenty years prior and stowed away in the attic in the weird case I would ever become homeless. I was very proud of myself when I discovered that, good thinking. It didn’t do much against the half meter snow, but I did get to see a beaver. Have you seen a beaver?

        While they have acted shady pertaining to American labor legislation, they operate globally and they do not deny aid to those in need. There isn’t a checklist of criteria you have to meet in order for the Salvation Army to help you.
