  • Not at most shelters in high pop zones like mine. They fill up and won't leave a bed vacant. There's also no ins and outs, and there's usually a few people moaning or screaming. Some asshole is usually wandering around looking at everyone's stuff, and you are limited on the amount of possessions you are allowed to bring in with you (Which totally makes sense but still sucks to have to leave anything large you may have somewhere out of eyesight). It's a hellscape. I'm honestly amazed they fill up with how shitty they are to get any sleep in.

  • Well, a lot of them have shitty jobs too. Like when I worked at a grocery store, evening crew would be there until 11pm. So I guess they would just get fucked then. There are a lot of working homeless.

  • I also live downtown, and my primary issues are homeless stealing things off our front porch, the neighbors that think every night is a good fireworks night, and the 2 homes that previously had 6 scruffy lookin guys hanging out in front of them for months that are now in cinders.

  • Are the homeless people where the empty homes are? That's the concern I have. There are really cheap empty houses throughout the country, but the homeless are congregate in large groups in some of the most expensive states/cities in the country. I dont think there are that many empty homes in San Francisco that are available for rent/purchase that are just being left empty for months at a time.

    Where are people sourcing that information from?

  • I remember when I worked in tech years ago, about the time Facebook was formed, it was common to avoid things like this because they only become lose/lose for the company. Once you engage in a program to help people's mental health or really anything vague and not part of your core business, you're tying an anchor to yourself.

    People start writing articles about your failings and petitioning changes, etc. Everyone becomes a critic of your methods, and then it becomes possible for every blogger to come up with a story of someone experiencing a mental health crisis using your product to blame you for whatever happens to them. Eventually, this thing you were convinced to implement out of a sense of communal good becomes the pitard you're hoisted upon.

    Better to just say "Not my business" and let people tut about your unwillingness to help for a news cycle than spend hundreds of thousands just to get bad press everytime the program fails or someone feels like writing a different critique for how they would manage the program.

  • Is your sense of fairness to just read half of what's written and understanding only half of what's read? Leaving the other half for others? It feels like it is, reading your responses here.

    I honestly don't know how you got here from what was written. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume English isn't your first language. That said, when it isn't, you should really avoid being a pedant.

  • You are projecting if you think people consider the constitution a moral prescription. It's literally the law laid out by the people. If you would be annoyed by people using it to defend the freedom of speech and the press, then we already kinda know where your morality lies:

    I'd be just as annoyed if someone used a constitution to defend something like freedom of press or freedom of speech.

  • There aren't any religious documents here, liar. You need to stop making shit up to suit your arguments. And before you say you "don't really care" again, you obviously do, because you won't stop making up excuses for breaking the laws which were established by those same people you pretend to care so much about.

  • Opponents will always point to it as a violation of the existing constitution and be right. Why is it so important to you that they don't follow their laws? Are you that desperate to come up with excuses to upset the current governmental structure of nation under seige?

    I'm just gonna assume that at this point, you are a Russian stooge trying to subvert their enemy's government online.

  • Yo! Wtf don't you understand about no changes being allowed during wartime? It's not like the president is the aggressor here, perpetually keeping his country at war to avoid elections. It can only disenfranchice people to make changes to the government via a vote at this time.

    Passing a new constitution during martial law would be sketchy as hell.

  • The whole middle east is "pretty fucking racist". To be honest, most of the world is unabashedly racist, but at least we get mad at each other in the west about it. It's something, at least, to have that little introspection.

    Your question should be more targeted about a unique trait they possess that perhaps everyone of their neighbors doesn't also possess. It's our own ethnocentrism that causes us to judge them through our lense vs. their actual peers.

    I think the whole thing is atrocious, but the double-edged sword of sovereignty is that we only get so much of a say in how two countries handle their business. If the rest of the world cut Isreal off right now, they would still handle this conflict the way they are right now.
