It’s such a 19th century-ass take that it’s on the verge of proposing eugenics and Magdaline laundries.

It’s not a solution, but as someone who slept in her car in a college parking lot because her father got pissed at her being around his house while queer, it’s better than we’d had. I was afraid I would get in trouble for sleeping like that. Mind you, the main reason I couldn’t sleep that night was that it was really fucking cold and it’s really hard to sleep in a car.

Housing first is the best solution, but we also need humane solutions for short term homelessness. The “I left in the middle of the night and need a few days to get my bearings because things could go any humber of ways” type stuff. Shelters are so intimidating and have a reputation for being hostile to those that need them.

My college had a food bank, and as I think of this, they really could’ve had a shelter for students as well. Just a few dorm rooms done simple with literature on resources where if you need to stay there a few days you can. Instead I wasn’t allowed to sleep on a student’s couch for more than two consecutive nights.

Tbh as someone who had to sleep in her car a few times in college, it would have been a nice thing to have. Like, yeah it’s bad that it’s needed, and an indoor option like some benches in rooms that are unused at night would’ve been also desired, but the most important thing was being able to know I wouldn’t get in trouble for sleeping somewhere.

I get that college is expensive, but I think this hits more closely at the lack of social services and the inherent instability in the lives of people new to adulthood. They don’t have the financial backing to get a hotel for a night, especially as they’re putting in a full time job of their education (though they may very well be working as well).

They’re also just more likely to be in unstable living conditions. Compared to adults 5-10 years older they’re far less likely to be in stable long term habitation of their choosing and instead are far more likely to be living with roommates, parents, or a partner of only a few years or even less with whom they have little commitment beyond a lease. These situations are more volatile, especially in ways that can lead to needing to sleep somewhere else for a few nights.

Christians attempting to follow their favorite commandment: Thou shall kill

3.2% on a gaming hardware survey is fucking insane stats for Linux though. Three years ago that wouldn’t have been believable.

Cambodia and Armenia being at war without major alliance stuff would be fucking nuts.

Not really. West Virginians are more stereotyped as uneducated and impoverished. Like you expect some bigotry, but the kind that can be soothed over by a few pies and a couple years of hard work alongside them in the community.

Regular Virginia on the other hand, is stereotyped as a middle class, very white, former confederate state that’s gone swing in recent decades. You don’t expect someone to start saying overtly racist shit because they’re Virginian, but if they do, it’s gonna be bad and you’re not shocked.

Shocked it’s regular Virginia and not west Virginia

I know right‽ You’ve got people marching with swastikas in America and nope a children’s entertainer because she recognizes the humanity of Palestinians.

They really don’t see how their calling everyone an antisemite for opposing their genocide puts Jews outside Israel at risk. Like, there used to be the claim that Israel was necessary to ensure all the Jews of the world are safe through diplomacy, military, and a country that will take them as refugees. But these days they make a clear case that Israel should not exist while ignoring the swastika wavers to focus on denouncing people who believe Palestinians shouldn’t be victims of crimes against humanity.

Party of governmental efficiency!

Oh shit that first link is exactly something I’ve wanted for years. I’ve been linuxing from gui for a while and would like to know more, especially as I fuck around with my home server

Yeah what I’m hearing is that it’s pointless for democrats to give good jobs to west Virginia.

If the left did this shit we’d be dead

Hey, 28 year olds, you like that slop don’t ya, piggies.

A private business keeps accusing you of operating a meth lab using city water, now they get to sue the city water provider for not cutting you off. That’s basically what this is

It’s only a smart move if you assume nobody will ever call your bluff. Meanwhile my VPN sees I haven’t renewed yet and it’s about to end and they offer me a deal so good I just do a quick check they’re still good enough then accept it. I’m not loyal loyal, but I’ve been a subscriber since the pandemic and I will be for another 2 years at least.

For comparison, I prioritize internet as local carriers > spectrumcast > seriously consider larping as amish > AT&T. AT&T will just offer new customers limited wifi data at low speeds for more money than spectrum and get shocked you won’t switch. Meanwhile spectrum makes me and my wife have to swap who’s name the account is for every year or two to keep the good deal, except when they just sign a deal with the landlord for a mandatory fixed price as a part of my building/complex’s rent. Local carriers offer reasonable prices where I don’t feel the need to keep chasing introductory deals.

Oh is she ok with her employees texting their loved ones between tasks or is it only work that’s supposed to encroach on everything else?
