Ah, so you're a landlord, that's why you're so evil. Your whole argument here is basically "I can't exploit them for maximum profit while doing basically nothing so they all are subhumans who don't deserve help". That's vile, man.

Also, I'll take an educated guess and say that you're in New York. And since it's America, these homeless people didn't have access to psychiatric or narcologic help during their stay, and probably didn't have any relatives/friends/social workers to support them (you and your friends clearly never offered help beyond what's required for you and them to receive money). And battling mental illness alone, while still stressing about a job and where to love after the contract expires and they're kicked out because they're too disabled to look after themselves doesn't lead to a speedy recovery. Same applies if they're battling addiction.

At the same time, yearly police budget of NYC is 5.8 billion dollars. Given that there are around 100 thousand homeless people and NYC median rental rate of ~3100$/month for a studio appartment, NYC could pay for a full studio appartment for each homeless person for the whole year, and it would cost under 2/3 of the police budget. So yeah, it's not THAT expensive in the grand scheme of things.

And your solution is, let me guess:

Step 1) make up a situation to be mad at.
Step 2) get mad at it.
Step 3) ????
Step 4) allow police to hunt homeless people for sport.

Now, to be serious, step 2 in your example is a lie fed to you by the police state in order to manufacture fear of homeless people and justify its own existence. Therefore the rest of your post is bullshit as well. And when your neighbor has a mental health crisis, you should call social services and doctors, not the police. The fact that your first instinct is to punish and incarcerate mentally unwell people instead of helping them to get better says a lot about your current mindset actually.

Not if they get defunded

If it's the only option, then the democracy is already dead and voting for Biden is pointless. Democracy entails that the government represents the will of the people. And you're suggesting that because some old fart decided to cling to power, everyone should stop demanding that their will is represented and start kissing that old fart's ass. "That's the only person you can vote for to preserve democracy" is a self-defeating statement...

One has tried to destroy democracy and the other will just give up the democracy for the first one to destroy and won't fight for it.

To be clear, the best thing to do is to vote for a democrat in the election, but it would be much better if said democrat isn't Biden

People say that Bloodfiend nerf isn't significant, like 220 -> 195 bleed buildup or somewhere along those lines. So it's probably still viable

And take a wild guess about why they don't have that money

They increased players' attack and defence a little, probably by 10% or something. They didn't remove any bosses or even bosses' attacks, they didn't replace standard dodge with Bloodhound step or do anything drastic. I don't understand what you are so mad about

Maybe it died of malnutrition

Ok, so you do admit that opposition to gay marriage is based on hate. Good.

And the discussion was about the fact that the vast majority of conservative policies are dictated by fear. Have you forgotten?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Can you give me one singular reason to oppose gay marriage that isn't based on hate?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (5 children)

Yeah. There's a lot of things that conservatives hate, that's what I was saying since the beginning. And I didn't even mention the hate of non-christians, for example, or for socialists.

And if you support some things but not the others, you're still supporting policies based on hate, so my point stands
