I don't think we'll ever really end homelessness, but we could absolutely get close if the money we spend on all these piecemeal measures was put to better use. No idea what the total spent is (probably more than that) but we're basically dumping tons of money into half measures that only really help a handful of people. Supportive housing works for a much larger percentage of people experiencing homelessness, but no one wants to fund it because they hate the idea of giving someone housing without requiring something of them first. If Americans could get past the attitude of, "if I had to suffer, so should everyone else," we'd all be a lot better off.

Well yeah, when the Gisele Pelicot case started, everyone should've expected this. Her piece of shit husband was on forums like that and had no problem finding dozens of men to rape his wife while she was drugged. I'm furious but I'm also so tired. At least I wouldn't have to worry that I'd trusted the bear and built a life with the bear and the bear was secretly raping me and sharing it on the goddamn internet.

Or we could put him into a cybertruck and launch them both into space. Seems a lot more efficient.

Oh Eric Adams can fuck all the way off. They all can, tbh, but especially him.

Obviously some are basically fine but most are in "No I will not hear you out, actually" territory for me.

A jacked dude in a costume, too. Definitely not the weirdest hear me out I've ever seen. I saw a lesbian list the other day that was legitimately terrifying.

Hmm that might be why I'm fine at my actual job but awful at doing anything productive at home. I told my coworker I needed someone to come "help" me by basically sitting in my living room judging all the laundry piles. Like, just come over and talk shit and redirect me when I get distracted every 12 seconds.

I'm if a stack of cold balls could get typhus. I contain multitudes.

Something similar happened where I live but the dentistry was actually a cover for human trafficking because it gave a (bad, weird) reason for a lot of random people to be coming and going. Not sure if any teeth were ever really worked on. Fun!

I was about to be offended and then I remembered how I got out of breath walking up the stairs this morning. (To be fair, I'm anemic af and almost certainly have a touch of long covid, but still.)

I used to write intros like that as placeholders because I always wrote the real intro once I was sure where I was going with a paper. I learned to make placeholder text red and all caps after almost making that mistake.
