InnerTune in the same vein as Antenna pod

Did you read the article? Google is not an insurance company. So, why is my hospital sharing information with them? And why wasn’t that disclosed in the privacy policy?

Those are the types of questions this study raises.

I’m not sure how he was being obedient. He knew he was on felony probation and voted illegally anyway.

Christians isn’t a monolithic entity, the way the headline pretends. There’s liberal Christians and conservative Christians. Hell, there’s an LGBTQ church down the street from here with a trans pastor and a church trauma support group.

i.e. Not all Christians love what Trump has done and not all Christians hate that he’s selling bibles.

The topics of conversation on here are naturally going to have a larger scope. And I think the point you’re trying to make with your /s would have been better said in the opening paragraph without the sarcasm. It seems you’re directing your message at people wanting to sit out the election because of a complaint with the national process, and your point is, go vote anyway because your local elections still matter.

And, judging by the responses you’ve gotten, I think most people missed the point. Assuming I’m reading you correctly.

And the right keeps doubling down. 2024 might turn out to be alright.

God speed brother. God speed.

He’s talking about running as a Libertarian, which would pull more votes from Trump than Biden, imo.

Thanks! That’s the image of a man I can get behind. Maybe in more ways than one if I was lucky lol

This young man got a first hand education in the sort of toxic energy that is threatening to unravel our democracy. Then, he chose democracy and rose above it. I don’t care if he doesn’t know his times tables. If he can guide others out of fascism, the way he guided himself out, that’s much more valuable in my opinion than memorizing 9*9.

Yet, the articles you linked above cite not having your pets as an exact reason people don’t go and as something that the city could address.

They also mention, as you quoted, that shelters aren’t good places for people with mental illnesses or who are neurodivergent. This may not be a technical barrier for entry on the part of the shelter, but it’s definitely a barrier for people who are sensitive to stimulation or who have severe trauma.

But cherry-picked.

“I don’t want to go to a shelter,” explained Dave Cooper, an unhoused Portlander who sleeps outdoors at Sewallcrest Park in Southeast Portland or other public spaces.

Cooper said shelters aren’t a viable option because of concerns over privacy, personal safety and a strict curfew.

“I couldn’t do it,” said Cooper, sitting next to a shopping cart filled with his sleeping bag and other belongings. “Being out here, it’s freedom.”

A 2019 survey of 180 people experiencing homelessness in Oregon, conducted as part of an Oregon Statewide Shelter Study by Oregon Housing and Community Services, found that the top barriers for using shelters were personal safety and privacy concerns, restrictive check-in and check-out times and overcrowding and unsanitary conditions.

Emphasis mine.

It would have been very easy for you to link the reasons in your original comment, or even your first reply to me, had that been your intention.

And I get it, homelessness is annoying. But homeless people aren’t the issue. The article goes on to talk about some ways to make shelters more livable for homeless people as well as paths towards permanent housing, both are good solutions. And, if we can empathize with why people are choosing campsites over shelters, maybe we can find a fix instead of complaining like you did here about them trashing things without paying taxes.

The sanitation and safety issues of campsites on public property are costing cities money they don’t have, for people who aren’t paying taxes to fund it.

Which, I already pointed out, is a bullshit argument to begin with. Be annoyed if you want to be annoyed. But maybe next time just say that instead of going all NIMBY.

I read that article. You cherry picked it just now. See my previous comment. I edited it to be more clear.

I sympathize with your annoyance, but your comment is a thinly veiled attack on the homeless because you’re annoyed with them.

You say, they choose not to for a variety of reasons: But then list all the problems with homeless people rather than the problems with shelters. You also make a point about how they don’t pay taxes. Which might not be true, btw. Some homeless people work. Also, most homeless people paid taxes for decades before becoming homeless. And, many more, are elderly women whose husband’s paid taxes for decades while they raised the kids.

I could go on. The articles actually do talk about the safety and sanitation issues inside the shelters, for example. Which is a major reason people choose not to go. Imagine being packed into beds like sardines with people who suffer from chronic mental illness and aren’t getting appropriate treatment? Would you feel safer in that room, or out in the woods by yourself?

Oh look, another lemmy poster who mostly posts biased polls talking about how Biden is losing in the biased polls. Every day, I have to put another one of you on ignore. I don’t know if you’re an ideological leftist or a right wing disinformation specialist, it doesn’t matter. Either way you’re pushing both an agenda and right wing propaganda.

So, welcome to my block list.

It’s a civil matter, not a criminal one.

Requiring congress to vote to not allow him to run is legally the same as requiring congress to vote to not let allow a 5 year old to run. Neither Trump nor the 5 year old should have to be proven ineligible They’re simply not, under the law as written.

SCOTUS are a bunch of political hacks and they should be charged with aiding and abetting an insurrectionist.

Ending the drug war would help psychiatrisy move forward with some excellent meds (psilocybin, MDMA). It would also let a lot of innocent people avoid the six year prison stint I did for growing my own medication.

So, I don’t see it as not political. But I also don’t see it as not psychiatric.

Making money for shareholders is the only moral compass corporations have.

So… make more money is the right thing to do and everything else is a means to that end. Even feel good slogans and corporate mottos.
