@l.w.paradis2108 you wake up one day and someone is knocking on your door.
The person claims to be your sister, they have short grey hair, pale skin and looks 60+ years old but your sister has long blonde hair, is only 43 and has a dark tan - she just got back from a vacation in Europe.
The person keeps knocking, they won't leave despite you telling them to and they demand to be let in as they have your medication - but you don't take any mediation.
Would you be sweet and kind to this person, pretend they are your sister, let them in and take whatever medication they give you... or would you start to get frustrated, refuse to let them and be very suspicious of whatever medication they are trying to force you to take?
Now here's the twist... that person IS your sister, she hasn't been to Europe in over 20 years, she visits you every day and that medication is for your heart and necessary to keep you alive. You must take it every day.
That's dementia. It's not that you "forget" stuff, it's that the world around you is not how you "remember" it.. because the only memories you have are from decades ago but they are you most recent memories.
I would not hire you as a baby sitter let alone a caregiver.

@roolyfe “We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids,” Biden, who is running for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, said during a town hall in Des Moines with the Asian and Latino Coalition.
He paused, then quickly clarified, “wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids.”
“No, I really mean it, but think how we think about it,” he said.

Ok Sam. Duly noted, enjoy the calm tranquillity and serenity that will wash over you, like a large wave on a summers day, the distant sound of palm trees rustling in the wind, as you sit alone, taking the heat, from the scorching sun, oh those Bahamas rays beaming down, so much you suddenly burst into flames, right there in the court room, during sentencing.
Then everybody stood up and clapped.

As a colonizer and oppressor, you give the oppressed some land next door to you and start raising some lambs in your backyard.
Your next door neighbour, the colonized and oppressed, doesn't like this and decides to start feeding and housing wolves.
Every few weeks the wolves slaughter a bunch of your lambs. You ask your neighbour to please stop harbouring the wolves that are killing your lambs, their response is "no, that paddock you built is occupying land i want, you should move out"
This goes on for years and many lambs and wolves are killed.
You decide you've had enough and inform your neighbour that as they're not willing to control the wolves they are harbouring, you're going to start culling them and they should steer clear if they didn't want to get hurt in the crossfire.
Your neighbour ignores you and instead decides to set up a tent and sleep with the wolves.
One evening many wolves are erradicated but your neighbour in their tent gets hurt and his wife dies. It's very sad.
You once again approach them about the wolves, they yet again refuse to do anything, stating they are not responsible for the wolves actions and you are occupying land they want.
The difference between you and your neighbour is that they condone wolves slaughtering your lambs, even in the aftermath of losing a wife, in the interests of gaining territory, aka terrorism... whereas you condone slaughtering wolves, even in the aftermath of killing the wife, in the interests of preserving your lambs.
Neither side is completely innocent, lives are being lost by both.. one values life over land whereas the other values land over life.
Which side you align with matches your values.

@sh0t0kan guess i'm not getting that list then?
It's a slang/informal term, from a legal perspective there is no such thing.
Y'all are thinking that because you've done a google search and found some text that matches "grand theft auto", it must be the legal definition of the crime. It's not.
Just as there is no such thing as "Grand Theft Fire" or my favourite misconstrued crimes that are not a legal definition "Grand Theft Fish"
There is only "Grand theft" and "Petty theft"
Under "Grand theft" there are several different classifications that, if met, could see a person be charged with "Grand theft". Whilst someone could be charged with "Grand theft" of an automobile, firearm, fish or any other item, there is no such thing as "Grand Theft Auto" from a technical legal perspective - to put it into perhaps words you kids will understand... You will not find a single court case, even in California, where someone has been charged for the crime of "Grand Theft Auto" nor "Auto theft" nor "Grand Theft Fire" nor "Grand Theft Fish" all of them, legally speaking, are just "Grand theft"
Here is how that section of penal code in Cali actually begins, perhaps this will make you comprehend the section D part more clearly, which is NOT confirmation that GTA is a thing, its a slang/informal term:
---
What Does California Penal Code §§487(a) – (d) [Grand Theft] Prohibit?
In sum, to be guilty of Grand Theft under CPC §§487(a)-(d), you must:
Take property or services worth more than $950; OR,
Take a firearm; OR,
Take an automobile; OR,
Take fish from a fishery or research operation; AND,
Intend on keeping what you took.

@Josh-hq6eb Ask yourself, imagine you ran a unicorn shop which manufactures and repairs unicorns for clients, your business is doing well and it's time to hire a new employee!
You interview a bunch of ppl, most have unicorn assembly or similar experience but one catches your eye in particular.. a young lady, just graduated highschool, never even ridden on a unicorn before let alone experience building or repairing them but she really likes them. A lot. She can list every model your company has ever produced, plus your competitors and even tried making her own mini-scale unicorn as a school project.
Now she's going to take far longer to train, may even damage some things early on but you like her enthusiasm and think once she gets the hang of it all could be one of your best employees - so despite your best judgements you give her a go! Without a non-compete clause cause you ain't like that homie, you're a good guy.
A few months go by and low n behold a few unicorns were badly damaged and took 3 times as long to train but finally she's doing great! You've taught her the tricks of the trade and one of your biggest clients even sent her a thank you gift after she repaired 20 unicorns for them last week. She quits that day, doesn't say why or even has to and cause you're a good guy - you just let her fly away free!
A few weeks go by and oddly, you haven't heard from that big client very much recently, they used to order 12 unicorns a week but haven't ordered a single one for at least 2 weeks now.
You call em up to check everything is okay and if they need any unicorns. They say nah, things are great and they've been ordering unicorns from this new company you've never heard of for $1 less than your price. Other than that the unicorns are nearly identical and even have your special unannounced tail features that were going to be released next week after a year in secret development!
You lookup this new company and who owns it only to find out it's the young lady.
She not only took your client but your new product feature.
What do you do? Cause you're a good guy it's simply a competitor offering a better price and product, so ask yourself who has actually been robbed? 🤷
