Hurting low income people is unfortunately not something the state government cares about. It's horrible, but it's the truth. Another commenter said something along the lines of "oh sure they want to help but they don't want to create any needle exchange programs or safe injection sites or housing" and to add to that sentiment, they also don't want to take a rehabilitative approach when it comes to drug usage. Instead they sic the police on them and lock them up like animals only furthering the problem. It's no secret that drug use is definitely causing a large portion of the homelessness especially in California but that drug usage is NEVER going to go away with the current approach. It just isn't. And it's unlikely (if not impossible) for it to disappear altogether even with a strong focus on rehabilitation, but it would certainly improve. The drug war is unwinnable and the sooner we start treating it like the mental health problem that it is instead of a crime the sooner all these other problems like homelessness that arise from it will start to improve.

A statement from city officials today addressed the problem "We just wanted to say fuck those poor folks!"
Hopefully this gets rid of the Intel ME spyware they have installed on almost every single computer now. One can only hope
You're god damn right Eagle Shriek
Oh man I was wondering if I was the only one who felt this way. Me and my childs mom are split up so sometimes on my weeks with my daughter I get very tired and frustrated towards the end and almost privately glad to be dropping her back off at her mothers. But then as soon as I leave and have an hour or so to myself I immediately miss her and wish she was back with me.
World War Z Aftermath is a great multiplayer game and also cross-platform!
Oh man the Overcooked series is great for multiplayer! Can really cause some heated disagreements at times though lol
The gaming instance on beehaw is picking up steam! But yeah it will take some time before it's able to compete with r/gaming but I am here for it!
This is such a fantastic idea! The gameboy was such an amazing system and it's so awesome to see it still being appreciated and even games on it being experienced for the first time by newcomers. My father was wanting to get into gaming as well but one of his main gripes was "there's too many buttons to learn" I think I might just get him a gameboy! Idk why I didn't consider that before thank you so much for the idea!
I used an everdrive for my megadrive (lol) and it worked flawlessly! I highly recommend they get one of these for their grandmother that is a great idea!
Funny you mention that, I found out about Lemmy specifically from a dude who was being downvoted to hell for even mentioning it as an alternative. So glad I decided to look into it I love this place and the whole idea of the fediverse in general.
Yupp, bit of a leopards ate my face moment! Is their a community for that on here yet btw?
