Welcome to like more than 50% of the world

But it's the bottom 50%. And, in 100 years, it has fallen to 50%.

Trending is good.

I love how this was the thrust of the Russian meddling campaign, using #bothsides to build voter apathy.

I'm not saying you're a Russian meddler, but I know the source of that duck quacking noise I was hearing.

It is then we're reminded of the ability of good writers and performers to take even a low-potential idea and fucking kill it. With a pen. In the study.

Yeah. A gov; be it the UN or a country.

Having worked and then contracted to regional and Muni govs, and worked for dotcoms, I can tell you one of them follows way, WAY more of the regs than the other.

It's like transpo & highways vs private roads and rail: one of them is way better-maintained when there is a comparison.

The strategy isn't to keep it contained.

I don't want what's best for America. I want what's best for California. It's in a bad relationship and is always the provider and the victim.

Without liberty and justice for all, there can BE no one nation indivisible.

I think the cause isn't as important because, for all of them, I think, the solution could be the same.

Take one small bite of that huge daunting pie, and get the ball rolling. Then take another bite; do something easy. And then another. And now you're off.

I have tasks lined up for yeeeeears I think. It's daunting. I do it a bite at a time.

3 [months] later they asked me if it’s ok if we talk on WhatsApp because it’s too bothersome to use two different apps.

Hey, remember in the age of about 9 different messenger protocols, when Pidgin allowed you to message people on the platform they preferred without too much fuss?

The "things we lost in the post-y2k culling of clue and mentorship" box is running out of space.

But, now hear me out, about a barely-obese 52yo with a seeerious ketamine addiction?

The line of blood donor clinics I predict he opens in order to funnel the youngest blood into his own veins and ideally stave off ageing, even that's gonna do nothing about the impending kidney failure.

I'm convinced the cheeseburgers will take him before a third term is even announced.

Safe binaries we can validate with signed manifests, or just ISO27002-violating FlatSnappImage spooge?

feels like a long term commitment

says the guy who also says

my discord server

as if the two ideas aren't the same.

If you do it right, too, the private server is $0 in continuing labour.

it’s “entertaining”. We prefer to be medicated with entertainment

Panem et Circenses.

I'll see your "Full-ass conversations" and raise you "Full-ass technical convos" with no knowledge of talking on the phone the next day... which made for a weird follow-up.

The one scene in Lion King hits harder without James Earl Jones on this planet anymore.

THIS ISN'T NEWS.

We knew this 6 months ago. John fucking Oliver did a piece of this. Woo.

Now, the DEPTH of involvement is so far just speculation and opinions from trending.

"Increase social service programs so that we address the reason why they're homeless and doing drugs in the first place."

If conservatives were really about ending homelessness and getting them paying taxes instead of 'just' consuming benefits, then they'd be in on this plan of phased rehab and rehousing to accomplish that. It's an investment they don't seem to see and I worry they look down on addict as trash not victims, and merely want the homeless* to silently vanish.

*I know it's not the latest popular word that privileged people use to feel better. Homeless apparently aren't offended as long as people are talking about the situation and investing time in their future, because stick and stones.

Thank you for caring and offering that correction. OP's success needs this feedback, and I hope he takes it to heart.

... with a panic button and much greater access to addiction resources.

If there are 10 steps to turning a homeless person into a housed, working taxpayer, this is like step 2.

Canada has failed to move to step 3 because "just arrest those leeches" is the position of half our society.

Jebus. I never even suspect lennart's people metastasized into there too.
