social conditioning

I mean, I know they fixed it, but LLMs once suggested jumping off a bridge if you searched for help with suicidal ideation

And this is why I hate face saving culture. Sorry, your ego, reputation, whatever, being attacked is not equivalent to actual violence.

basically, yeah

I mean, if it was cooked in a cup mold then it is a cup cake no matter the size

Are they calling Hegseth a Democrat, at least inadvertently?

The voices

There is resistance everywhere, but LA was a special target for the GOP. They are gearing up to make Chicago just as hot here soon.

It means that I was able to dump accounts, and instances, when the people running them, or something else, made me no longer like the the place. So I was able to just pick-up and move. Which is nice.

I stopped reddit a couple years ago, and I only use lemmy. This is like my 6th account, and instance hop. Definitely a system that works better for me.

it says training has started, you don't jump right into using weapons

There is an old quote -

"The plight of the oppressed ends with the oppressor. Mussolini found this to be true, as will others."

Standing upright simultaneously exposes more skin surface area to the flow of air, while minimizing the skin's exposure to direct sunlight.

It's a little over 50% in the US, and is largely due to women out performing men in school.

All that it does is push homeless people out of the area. That is all that you are accomplishing. This will not force those who do not seek help, to seek help, it just pushes them out of sight. No matter what you say, this is the point, to push the homeless out of the area, they do not give a single fuck about getting them help. If they did, instead of making it so people couldn't lay down, or sit, in public, they would be putting far more money into mental health facilities, and other aspects of life that makes, and keeps, people homeless.

But no, just make it so they can't lay down in your area, that will make it better. It also makes life worse for people who are not homeless, especially the elderly, and disabled. This type of thinking also leads to the privatization of public spaces, reducing resources to everyone, that have a demonstrably positive affect on people. Part-and-parcel of hostile architecture initiatives are also legal punitive ones, to enforce the removal of unwanted people in areas that they can't specifically do something like put spikes on. The very morality behind "defensive" architecture is called into question, because of the line of thinking you put forward is little more than an excuse to push undesirables away from society.

There are more, if you would like, everything I have ever found on this subject has read "we can prove many negative aspects of doing, and there might be some good aspects, but it isn't as evident, and often can possibly be explained by other factors", so I don't even really see research backing up this idea you propose.

When I was homeless all the shelters were full, and housing was a year plus wait for anything. I often slept in a concrete tube under a bridge. Then the government came in, removed the tubes, and puts spikes all over the concrete under the bridge. Yes I felt it was an attack. I was forced to move further out from where I could attain help, and do something to sustain myself, only making it harder for me to exist. Dealing with the government to maintain my place of residence, and medical treatment, is a part time job, where I spend, literally, 4-6 hours on hold with places like Jobs and Family Services, and the local housing authority. I can absolutely understand how easy it would be for me to stay homeless if I were say, schizophrenic. Luckily I am not, and I can maintain things like schedules, keep dozens of appointments per month, etc.

This is one of the worst possible ways to encourage people to seek help. it shows a deep lack of understanding what day-to-day life is for the homeless, especially ones who are very mentally ill.

Then stop talking, come over, and do something. If it's the whole world, which I agree with, then you are in the same boat. Do something and stop telling others to do something.

oh yeah, they watch for a lot of things. The reason I brought up the one I did was my one friend's son, who is now an adult, fell heavily into the red pill nonsense, and it caused serious problems. So other friends are particularly on the look for that. Most of the kids are now in the mid to late teens, and early 20s though, so they mostly leave them be now.

There are what we call OPOs, or organ procurement organizations. There are like 50, at least int he US. If you are in the US, and have certified skills that could help these, often you will receive scouting materials, you can also contact UNOS for information about ones local to you.

My friends with kids mostly look at their shit to make sure they aren't involved bigoted online spaces.
