Not to mention they are not overseen by OSHA, so if you get hurt on the job, and you’re still homeless, you might die!

The nuance is that if they built the homeless shelters that are needed, there wouldn’t be “needles in the park and angry homeless people shouting” problems as the article states, because they wouldn’t be in the park where kids play. I get that you’re saying “some people don’t understand what it’s like to live with the burden, danger, and discomfort of homeless people,” but there is no argument for these bans that will ever be just imo.

If it’s like the Midwest, I’m sure there’s a fucking empty ass mall or warehouse or dealership somewhere they can turn into a homeless shelter if one fucking capitalist would just hand it over to the public instead of holding on to it to owe less taxes.

Your comment made it worth coming I here to read this because I never thought of that before.

3d GM chess move when all the players thought they were playing regular chess. ♟️ Hey, you don’t know what part 3(/?) will be like. Sounds like you’re in for a wild ride!

Typical gaslighting from an abuser.

This is where most leftists who refuse to vote for Biden are coming from. Do they pull the lever and participate in the system even if their vote would lead to continued genocide? Or do they remain a bystander and let the chips fall where they may, knowing they did not vote for genocide in any form?

When we participate in a rigged system, doesn’t it just give the system legitimacy? When we don’t participate in a rigged system, are we complicit in what happens? The trolly problem says no: you didn’t put those people on the tracks; you don’t have the power to stop the train and save everyone. You only have a choice: participate and save more lives than you (personally) chose to take or don’t participate and remind yourself that the system put these people on the track to begin with.

Just be fat, it worked for me.

It’s not right wing enough:

Their goals are vague, but many of their posts convey a general sense of urgency about the need to prepare for “war” or to “stand up” against many supposed enemies, including drag queens, immigrants, pro-Palestine college students, communists—and the US government.

Because drag queens and immigrants still exist! And those communists who are also against the US government- they’re the wrong kind because they want things like housing for the people who don’t pick themselves up by their bootstraps! And don’t get them started on college students and brown people!

Do you want to let us uninitiated know what he was right about?

Im familiar with the X-men and I know who Magneto is, I just thought you were referring to something specific.

There’s definitely an argument to be made that the mutants should have the right to live their lives. I guess it depends on how much you think “violence” and “by any means necessary” are justified.

To bring a real world example into the conversation, the Palestinians decided that violence was necessary. Some condemn them for it, some ask “what other choice did they have?”

Obviously, the sympathizers will see you as the hero, and the opponents will see you as the villain. Is it better to go onto hiding like Prof. X and his crew or to stand up and fight like Magneto and his? And how much and what kind of collateral damage is acceptable? It’s a war that has been fought for ages in many different places - the battle between the oppressors and the oppressed.

Thanks, maybe I’ll give it a try. I jumped on the brony bandwagon years ago (though I’ve let that go now) so I’m keen to give the new things a fair shot.

Same. I still like the characters and the personalities the fandom built around them, but the show hits different now. That’s why I like shows like Adventure Time and Steven Universe because they already had a more “mature kid” kind of spin, less black and white morality, even though they still tended to make enemies friends in the end.

I’ve only been seriously coding for about 2 years (and not full-time as I have another full time job that I’m trying to get out of) and I almost passed 4/5 of the coding tests that I took for one interview (I did pass one, but realized my solution wouldn’t pass all tests - though it did pass the ones given - so I was working to retool it when time ran out). The 5th one was in C++ and I don’t know shit about that syntax. Idk if it was legal, but I have two monitors and used a cheat sheet for the JavaScript and C++ one.

I think with your experience, you’ll probably do fine unless you get anxiety from the clock ticking down.

Your comment is confusing me.

While I agree that Ticketmaster is a fucked up monopoly,

Implies that what you’re going to say next is something that either excuses them or is worse than them, but you go on to say:

the only one fucked were those buying tickets.

Which, imo, is true but does not follow the logic of the “while” statement.

Then you go on to say:

Taylor will easily survive another day; those that sold their pancreases for a seat…not so much

Which makes me think you are blaming Taylor Swift for Ticketmaster’s prices, or at least saying that she is complacent in some way. But the point is the prices were set by Ticketmaster, and padded with exorbitant fees that Taylor had no control over.
