It’s totally normal to like or not like spicy and i doubt anyone would judge you for that. I think your comment’s wording is a bit reactive though.

I guess that’s at least a less hateful reason. Still weird and harmful imo

It can be fun to safely experience sensory extremes. Many people get an endorphin/dopamine rush from it.
Other than some gut irritation it’s not a significant hazard. Like yeah keep it safely stored from sensitive people and poets also it’s probably not the best road trip snack or whatever. Certainly less dangerous than alcohol, fireworks, cigarettes or texting while driving.

That’s insane! But good add.

This seems like a big liability. If they lock the dumpster or show other reasonable means of preventing scavengers then at best it’s a deterrent and at worst intentionally poisoning people entrapped by the legal hurdle of vandalism.
IDK, seems like one of those things where there’s a kernel of truth but also possibly in-group rage bait.

Intensity matters.
Light snoring is no biggie and 100% normal.
When it’s moderate or heavy, or if breathing pauses, esp. Followed by a fit, then it’s a disorder (apnea).
There are also several reflux conditions that can result from nicotine/alcohol use which all together may worsen snoring, cause daytime mucus buildup (hacking), and sometimes even cause apnea.

I don’t know, sometimes the Oslo metro crashes into a building, Tesla’s swim in fjords, and nuclear armageddons are nearly triggered.
But yeah that makes sense if you worked at one 🤣

Despite the afermentioned possibility about inhibition its deflating to see how we treat things we don’t knead.

Careful not to such around long enough for the piggies to show up. Corporate considers it property theft, the ultimate crime.

“She-EO” was pretty good but the sequel killed it. She really didn’t need a love interest and they forgot the whole point of the first movie was her ability to be a Girl Boss. She wasn’t supposed yo depend on men… Ugh. 😮💨
TBH it made me like “Greg Man” more. At least the characters were well defined. Like, I get that Greg is pretty weak as far as super heros go but there was a lot of character development and damn his letter opener was cool! The villain was fucking crazy too! Guy Normal… Most relatable villain back story. We’ve all been there.I get why he decided to go that route, it’s tempting as hell in times like that.

I’ve worked with hundreds of homeless people, usually trying to help them before the cops sweep their camp, or keeping their car rolling so they can keep living in it.
There was a ubiquitous set of conditions:
- can’t afford housing even though they had a job.
- lost identifying documents, usually in a sweep, and working on replacing them. You can’t get work without these.
- no reliable postal address
- no support network
I’ve never met anyone who wanted to be living on the street.
I’m not talking about crust punks train hopping. I’m talking about the people who missed a day of work for whatever reason and couldn’t make rent one month. Now they’re in a tent near available services because the shelter kicked them out after the max stay of a week.
Being a therapist gives you no expertise here and it seems to me that a therapist who sees punishment as a viable means for behavioral change is kind of shit at their job.

It’s a political problem. Houseless people are there because there’s no political willpower to create systematic change to support them. So you’re absolutely right when you say:
we must either come up with new resources or reevaluate our investments in the resources we currently employ.
The only problem is the answer to this question is more often on the side of the investment not being worth it, so the problem is left unaddressed.

Shelters, even if there was enough space, can be dangerous for vulnerable people, do not allow pets, and rarely provide medium term housing or transitional opportunity.
Anti-homeless architecture simply attempts to push the houseless further away from urban centers, and consequently food kitchens, shelters, and other resources. This is deadly when extreme weather occurs or acute health problems arise.
It actively makes the city more dangerous to those most fucked by society.
As far as “wanting” to live on the street, this is a narrative made up to victim blame and deny empathy. It only needs one or two examples for the false narrative to be cast on the population writ large.
- Comment on What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends? 1 month ago:
Volunteer in outreach orgs or at events that are related to your interests.
There are also mutual aid orgs. They are almost always accessibility aware. Maybe check in with MADR. They may be able to point to local groups if you’re in the US.

I did see them around as a child millenial. Not totally uncommon in older and public buildings until early 2000’s. The airblade dryers seemed to come in right as the last of these were phased out.

That’s a fair point when these LLMs are restricted to areas where they function well. They have use cases that make sense when isolated from the ethics around training and compute. But the people who made them are applying them wildly outside these use cases.
These are pushed as a solution to every problem for the sake of profit with intentional ignorance of these issues. If a few errors impact someone it’s just a casualty in the goal of making it profitable. That can’t be disentwined from them unless you limit your argument to open source local compute.
