San Francisco homeless sweep was cheered on by the right. It was also illegal (www.vice.com)

Hundreds of unsheltered people living in tent encampments in the blocks surrounding the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco have been forced to leave by city outreach workers and police as part of an attempted “clean up the house” ahead of this week’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation’s annual free trade...

rckclmbr,

I’m as liberal as the next guy, and i know this will definitely not be a popular opinion here, but honestly we need to stop giving homeless people a free pass and I’m fucking serious. A lot of these people do it only because they can get away with it. They need to know that what they are doing isn’t OK. It’s not the answer, there really isn’t a single answer, but we also can’t just keep enabling them. I say this as a person with a homeless meth addict sister, a brother in law who’s been on drugs his whole life and is currently in section 8, and a sister in law who got her shit together after being a homeless addict. I also have family who have volunteered full time at shelters and food banks

Most of these homeless there are either addicts or severely mentally ill and need help. Of course I’m just referring to the addicts here, the mentally ill need help. Homeless families down on their luck aren’t included here, they typically know where support is and are using it.

rckclmbr,

The homeless where they are booting people in downtown SF are 100%. I live 10 miles from there and see it. I agree with your claim, but location has a lot to do with the type of homeless. Oakland for example has a lot of people you’re talking about. Also read my second paragraph

rckclmbr,

I still remember a 2 day assignment we had of finding scientific articles, and classifying them as trustworthy or not. Ie, was it in a peer reviewed journal vs a study at a “clinic” that has bias in the outcome. I remember that to this day and feel like it was a major shift toward my ability to think critically

rckclmbr,

Which is sad, because the only winners are the gun manufacturers. They want you to fear your neighbors

rckclmbr,

This isn’t about religion, at least not anymore. Palestinians have been oppressed by Israelis because they want the land. Palestinians want Israel dead because they’ve been oppressed and marginalized.

rckclmbr,

This is a very simplistic take on a very complex situation. I have friends in Tel Aviv, I’ve visited their homes. Some were raised very orthodox jew in Jerusalem, didn’t even have internet most of their lives. I’ve been to the Western Wall and seen the Jewish people praying, while the Muslims watch outside the gate (they each have their own time they can go in).

Talking with all my friends, the answer is always “it’s complicated”. It’s only religion so far as “we want to occupy the same space”. It kickstarted it, but that could have been anything – oil, water, ports, whatever. But since it turned to land, it became very politically motivated. Who can powerful countries ally with for key tactical military presence? For the people living there, how can I feel more safe?

I’m kind of rambling, but there’s way too much to talk about in just a comment. But yea, the answer is that it’s very complicated.

True dat

Lol Zucks dad was a dentist, and his mom was a psychiatrist. Yes they were more wealthy than a majority of Americans, but I wouldn’t call them an inaccessible “wealthy” like Musk or Trump. They were living a comfortable middle class lifestyle.

Edit: downvoters should prove me wrong, I’m totally up for learning information I didn’t know about.

rckclmbr,

I live in an area where parents are pretty much like Zucks parents, both parents are typically professionals and lifestyle is generally middle class. I dont see any kid here growing up to be zuck. But i agree they have a better chance than some kid in the projects

But I was just pointing out that it’s a far cry for Zucks situation (good education, stable home) vs Trumps (here’s hundreds of millions of dollars, do whatever you want)

Why do we need to do it around a planet? Origin of Halo confirmed

rckclmbr,

I spent about $600 with epic. All of that was on fortnite skins. None of it on games.

rckclmbr,

Hey man, it provided value to my life… its a fun game, i play it quite a bit. Plus half of that was for my kid, he would ask for vbucks every birthday and Christmas for years.

rckclmbr,

Legislation is stopping them, hence increasing upfront cost to offset

rckclmbr,

Damn, I went from $50k net worth in 2010 to $3m today on Mint. End of an era. Not sure where to go next

rckclmbr,

He didn’t forget the quote, he realized he was going to say “shame on me” and didn’t want to be quoted as saying “shame on me” so was trying to think of something else to say

rckclmbr,

This is absolutely not a religious war. I understand why you say that. But if it were, Muslim countries would come to the aid of Palestinians. But there’s a reason Egypt is standing still. And it’s not religion.

Equator Coffee for life!

rckclmbr,

I can’t drink coffee after like 2pm either. Sugar or other carbs before bed can also impact my sleep quality

GAZA: 3,195 children killed in three weeks surpasses annual number of children killed in conflict zones since 2019 (www.savethechildren.net)

Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict...

rckclmbr,

Its a war I don’t know what the fuck you want

rckclmbr,

I got temp banned from lemmy.ml for saying that. Basically said “except Ukraine didn’t attack Russia first”, then got the banhammer. A quick Google on their point (cant even remember what it was) and I knew it was bullshit. I blocked lemmy.ml right after

rckclmbr,

This is why I ride an ebike to work. Substitute cash for risk of death

rckclmbr,

Did you see the early days, or even as reddit was “maturing”? Shit went down every other day

rckclmbr,

I really hate CICO being harbored as the solution though. Diet AND EXERCISE are needed. If you do a caloric deficit, your muscles will also atrophy. If you do this multiple times (diet, maintain, diet, maintain), you will continue to have less and less muscle mass and as a result a lower metabolism, which will make it harder and harder to lose fat. So, I still say just eat healthy (whole foods, plenty of fruits and veggies, enough protein) and the calories will take care of themselves. And lift weights.

rckclmbr,

Did you you even read what I wrote? Check out youtu.be/cXN90cJBfao?si=JKrj3ET_L-KWJrBY

They’ll either evil or incompetent. Neither of which I want on my computer
