I think the only reason this happens is because people associate negativity with a group of people for long enough to tie the negativity to the phrase or word itself. Homeless used to be the sensative replacement for Hobo. After enough time, this new name will just be another tag people can use hatefully.
edit: I must admit, though, I can’t see “someone experiencing homelessness” making a very impactful slur.
I think the old man is the important piece of the picture. Our entire lives are spent climbing away from inescapable death. No matter what we do, a missed hand hold will eventually result in the fall into blackness. The old mans body is bound to fail him, and he will fall.
The thing I like most is the light that the subject of the painting is climbing towards. Sometimes, when I am in a situation where a negative outcome is unchangeable, I don’t want to deal with it at all. why play the game of life when we all lose, sort of thing. I think the light is what makes it worth traversing the perils of the pit. I think the light is the things that make life worth living.
But I’m just some dude, and that’s what I see. I think someone smarter will be able to tell me I’m wrong.

I will drink maybe 1-2 weekends a month. Never twice in a weekend unless I’m on vacation. 2-4 pints in a session. Sometimes I will tie one on with a buddy when we have vinyl night. Every six months or so I will go out with a large group or host a party where go a Bit harder . I largely drink socially, but sometimes I will have a craft beer mid week(I do this roughly once a month)
One of the benefits of the haskell style is easy commenting of the additional functions. I do something similar in my python scripts when testing several differnent chunks of code.
But then again I chose a career in GIS so I probably have a mental disorder.
Oh man I can’t believe I fucked that up that bad! Oh well, I still got some laughs, and you got to correct an internet stranger, so I see this as a win,win,win.
