There have been repeated studies and examples where homeless people have simply been giving a house and basic living wage, with no qualifiers on who can receive it based on mental health or drug use. Every time this is done people thrive and pull their lives back together.

It absolutely is, at its core, a housing problem. Provide basic humanitarian safety and stability and people can pull themselves out of the darkness just fine.

Edit: the “evidence and outcomes” section of the housing first Wikipedia page speaks for itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_First

Fun fact: there are more vacant houses in the US than there are homeless people. We literally have an empty, unused house for every single homeless person right now.

What? The creator of GIF has made it very clear it is not pronounced Jiff.

The important bit:

the pets escaped through a dog door and were not harmed

Those images are in the wrong direction.

I hate the age of “viral marketing”. Are we still pretending the YouTubers aren’t just marketing tools?

You can’t verify it because they didn’t provide any sources. Probably because any source on this would quickly show what a massive overreach these claims are.

Framework supports a bunch of open source initiatives, and some of those initiatives have figureheads that suck. Framework has basically stated that they are supporting open source as a whole and are staying neutral about the people running them. That’s a choice people may not agree with, I have fairly strong opinions on this myself… but there’s a huge gap between Framework’s actual statements and the author’s claims.

I am so angry about this. I generally like Hulu, I hate Disney+.

The “previews” are standard fare across most streaming apps and it drives me absolutely crazy.

Oh fuck off. Nobody is “astroturfing” AI hate.

Plenty of us hate AI for perfectly reasonable ethical, sociological, and accuracy reasons.

Just because some anti-ethical twats are doing something with AI impactfully doesn’t justify the use of disinformation on our side.

To be clear, the public is squarely with Pritzker: A new CBS surveyfinds that 58 percent of Americans oppose Trump’s National Guard deployments.

This number makes me feel a deep shame for my country. 58%? That’s all? That’s the cap on the number of people who see fascist military action happening in their own country and are shocked and disgusted?

What the fuck happened to us?

Why are we not talking about how this child predator fuck is only going to serve 6 months of a 10 year sentence?

Hey, come on, there’s no need to insult leeches.

ITT someone whines about perceived whining.

Fuck EA.

Do you all remember when these snowflakes were crying about the mean liberals not respecting a bigot cake maker refusing to make cakes?

Free market unless the big orange baby gets his feelings hurt, I guess

What if someone has literally dozens of felony convictions?

He exhibited articulable facts that made us take a look…

If they’re articulable then articulate them, you fascist piece of shit.

Jeopardy isn’t asking questions, it is giving answers. The contestants need to figure out and provide the correct question to the answer given.

I’d imagine “who is the Eiffel Tower” would be wrong because that question doesn’t make sense.

Neat.
