There are multiple housing problems and they’re all probably way more complicated than anyone wants to acknowledge. The highest priority “housing problem” right now imo is that there are people who don’t have a safe place to sleep at night.
In order to solve that problem you need
Building/acquiring housing costs money. If the government isn’t doing its job and spending money to solve this problem we need to
Creating a system to assign individuals to housing is probably the more “difficult” part because there needs to be some sort of consensus on the mechanics of prioritization. I personally think we should prioritize housing for individuals and families with children, but after that I don’t know who we should serve next.
Specifically the most acid trippy chapter of the Bible that describes the end of the world.
That’s super cool, I’ve wanted to do something similar like this but never have had the opportunity.
I don’t think people should have to do that, but including context is generally an important part of asking a question.
Like if I’m trying to fix a problem and I need help I’d be like “I’m getting error code 123 on my printer (make, model). I’ve tried turning it off and on again, unplugged it from the wall, but the error always pops up as soon as it finishes powering on. Anyone have any experience with this and how to solve it?”
Take that back, Chick Tracts are gold.
I believe the average American inmate is more likely to want a Bible than a Quran.
This is what it feels like to grow old.
People who like talking and listening I suppose. Then just click the mute button on someone’s name if they’re being abusive.
Yeah, I definitely get that. Even so, sometimes I think it’d be nice to talk to people for more clarity. Maybe voice chats would require a moderator to start them and stay there to facilitate the conversation?
Hot take: All criteria used to classify ideas and objects into distinct categories can eventually break down. The only reason to pursue the creation of classification systems is to facilitate communication. If we get to a point where we start throwing chairs at each other I’d argue were no longer willing to communicate, and so arguing about whether something is “this” or “that” is no longer a priority. The priority should become attending to the mental and emotional wellbeing of the individuals in the absence of labels.
I mean it kinda was, wasn’t it? If anyone can relate to teenage angst it’s teenagers.
Yeah, I see where you’re coming from. Although instead of laughing I’d probably reply with “sounds like it’s time for a story.” Because I think I would assume that something happened to them recently that highlighted the danger of fire lol
“Presenting something well-observed and well-documented as a novel thought is laughable.” I really like this sentence. It made me realize that I’d interpret “laughable” as either “humorous” or “ridiculous” depending on the context. Specifically regarding how genuine the person is being, which is impossible to be sure of. You can only make assumptions about whether a person is being genuine/honest, although you can get more comfortable with those assumptions as you get to know them better.
Those types of “hey did you know water is wet?” comments can also serve as a jumping off points for sarcastic remarks with friends.
Well it was a brand new discovery to them, and if they found value in it then it makes sense that they’d want to repeat it. But yeah, I guess I can see why that’s “funny” coming from the perspective of an older person who may have forgotten what it’s like to be a young, inexperienced kid capable of feeling fascination and wonder.
He literally showed up yesterday to take mine and I had to tell him I didn’t own one. He didn’t believe me and said I’d need to submit proof that I don’t own a truck or else he’ll come down on me with the full force of the United States Navy :( I’m so glad he’s not running for re-election.
I don’t let what other people do ruin my happiness. If I’m happy with the work I’m doing and the amount I’m getting paid then I really don’t care what other people do.
I still love Pokémon, I just try not to let my nostalgia for the old games get in the way of enjoying the new ones. I try to judge everything on its own merit.
But yeah I agree, really animals are way more complex and interesting than anything you’d find in a game.
Magnemite is named after a magnet and Voltorb is an electric orb.
Tauros and Porygon are just one letter away from Taurus and polygon.
Ekans is snake backwards.
I’m open to having my mind changed, but I’m going to need more lol
