I can’t believe I’m agreeing with you of all people, but I have as well and as strange as it may sound to people who haven’t, there is a certain proportion of the homeless population which is homeless by choice. It’s not a large proportion, but it’s not that small either.

It’s a chicken and egg problem with many schizophrenic and borderline homeless where you can’t tell if they ended up on the street due to mental illness or if living on the street made them mentally ill, but I have personally seen people choose to leave housing projects to go back to the street, and have heard similar stories from others.

That said, of course using this fact as an excuse to not do everything we can to house the majority of homeless who do want homes and to support the ones who don’t in other ways (soup kitchens, clinics, etc and mental health counseling for those who want it) is absurd.

That was really fun to watch, thanks! Cows seem to be a lot better at ball sports than emus.

Cows recognize and respond to their given names (and sometimes even nicknames used by specific people) and have best friends. They are very far from stupid. They’re lovely and charming animals. It takes a lot of cognitive dissonance for me to continue eating beef after spending some time at a dairy farm.

Nice gaslighting attempt, bro.

Cheers.

No rage, mate. Have I acted enraged at all during this conversation? I just like to call out bullshit. If that’s fine with you, then this is a civil disagreement.

Then the few people who don’t are very prolific commenters because it’s a mistake I see often.

If “voters” means the same in both cases, why did you use numbers that specifically only apply to the last election to make a point?

Just because this is a common enough mistake, I’m going to publicly correct you for the benefit of other people who might see this comment. I apologize.

It’s Martial Law. Not Marshall Law.

“Confiscate” sure is a weird way to spell “steal”.

Correct. When there isn’t enough bread to go around, it doesn’t really matter if everyone has money.

Rule 1 clearly says “posts have the following requirements”.

These are all valid points but they don’t preclude the existence of an open-source alternative to MBFC, which is what the commenter you replied to was asking.

You seem to be under the impression that this trial is going to be fair in any way. It’s a jury trial where the defendant is forbidden from talking to the press while the news media does its best to slander him to the public whenever the case is mentioned. Yes, in an ideal world you’d be right, but the people that need convincing of his guilt are going into the trial with their opinions half-formed against him and I guarantee you that the prosecution will veto any juror that seems like they understand proper standards for evidence.

So that the cops can beat black people and plant evidence, ovbiously.

That doesn’t matter, though. He isn’t being charged with manufacturing an illegal firearm so the prosecution does not have the burden of proving that he did so. Likewise, if he is being charged with gun trafficking, they still don’t need to prove where he got the illegal gun from, just that he had it.

And he’s being charged with terrorism, for fuck’s sake. Do you really think the standard for evidence at this trial will be a fair one? The prosecution is likely to get away with hearsay while the defense will be expected to provide DNA evidence from the actual killer as well as his parents and grandparents to get the case dismissed.

To be fair, there is probably at least one unloved person who isn’t a CEO.

“Voters” doesn’t mean “people who voted in the most recent election” but “people who are registered to vote” so the other commenter is correct.

I never told you to stop posting, did I? Keep on posting your shit takes and I’ll call you out whenever I see one and feel like it. This mentality of blocking anything you disagree with and creating a cozy little echo chamber is deeply harmful. If you can’t stand a little reality check every once in a while, feel free to pussy out and block me though. It certainly fits your character.

You can, but you choose not to. Every post you make is just the shittiest possible take on the subject. It’s like whoever controls your account painstakingly researches every issue in order to share whatever the opposite of the correct position is. And your comments are even worse.
