And this is why I hate face saving culture. Sorry, your ego, reputation, whatever, being attacked is not equivalent to actual violence.

It isn’t spamming to post material of the subject matter of the community. Or are you assuming that the posts cm is posting screen shots of are all him?

basically, yeah

I mean, if it was cooked in a cup mold then it is a cup cake no matter the size

Are they calling Hegseth a Democrat, at least inadvertently?

How big?

I stopped reddit a couple years ago, and I only use lemmy. This is like my 6th account, and instance hop. Definitely a system that works better for me.

it says training has started, you don’t jump right into using weapons

Standing upright simultaneously exposes more skin surface area to the flow of air, while minimizing the skin’s exposure to direct sunlight.

All that it does is push homeless people out of the area. That is all that you are accomplishing. This will not force those who do not seek help, to seek help, it just pushes them out of sight. No matter what you say, this is the point, to push the homeless out of the area, they do not give a single fuck about getting them help. If they did, instead of making it so people couldn’t lay down, or sit, in public, they would be putting far more money into mental health facilities, and other aspects of life that makes, and keeps, people homeless.

But no, just make it so they can’t lay down in your area, that will make it better. It also makes life worse for people who are not homeless, especially the elderly, and disabled. This type of thinking also leads to the privatization of public spaces, reducing resources to everyone, that have a demonstrably positive affect on people. Part-and-parcel of hostile architecture initiatives are also legal punitive ones, to enforce the removal of unwanted people in areas that they can’t specifically do something like put spikes on. The very morality behind “defensive” architecture is called into question, because of the line of thinking you put forward is little more than an excuse to push undesirables away from society.

There are more, if you would like, everything I have ever found on this subject has read “we can prove many negative aspects of doing, and there might be some good aspects, but it isn’t as evident, and often can possibly be explained by other factors”, so I don’t even really see research backing up this idea you propose.

When I was homeless all the shelters were full, and housing was a year plus wait for anything. I often slept in a concrete tube under a bridge. Then the government came in, removed the tubes, and puts spikes all over the concrete under the bridge. Yes I felt it was an attack. I was forced to move further out from where I could attain help, and do something to sustain myself, only making it harder for me to exist. Dealing with the government to maintain my place of residence, and medical treatment, is a part time job, where I spend, literally, 4-6 hours on hold with places like Jobs and Family Services, and the local housing authority. I can absolutely understand how easy it would be for me to stay homeless if I were say, schizophrenic. Luckily I am not, and I can maintain things like schedules, keep dozens of appointments per month, etc.

This is one of the worst possible ways to encourage people to seek help. it shows a deep lack of understanding what day-to-day life is for the homeless, especially ones who are very mentally ill.

oh yeah, they watch for a lot of things. The reason I brought up the one I did was my one friend’s son, who is now an adult, fell heavily into the red pill nonsense, and it caused serious problems. So other friends are particularly on the look for that. Most of the kids are now in the mid to late teens, and early 20s though, so they mostly leave them be now.

My friends with kids mostly look at their shit to make sure they aren’t involved bigoted online spaces.

yeah, I have seen too many videos, made by, and probably posted by, IDF killers themselves where they commit horrible crimes, and nothing is done about it. Like a group walking down a street, nothing is happening, very few people there, and an IDF just shoots a child sitting on a porch. Saw a video, from what looked like security cameras, of a small scuffle that left people injured, when the ambulance showed up, surprise! It’s the IDF, and they started shooting at everyone. This is just two things. I do not deny Hamas commit war crimes, however, this is no defense of what the IDF is doing.

The problem is that pageantry is all that it is. The other dictators that do this may say things like it is just a show of their patriotic pride, but it is, in reality, an indulgence, flexing their power, showing everyone when they jump, they better give me an amazing spectacle, not just jump. Also, behold our arms!

Trump’s birthday parade was a failure

Isn’t the Israel is hostile to middle east/central asia, and trying to start a major war with iran, like .ml friendly narrative? This seems to jive with that.

I don’t even have to prompt it to know

It is like vegan hate. For every vegan that aggressively pushes their ethics on others, there are like 1000 people who want nothing more than to do something to offend vegans.

it has been a long time, but I believe they are actually vegetable oil emulsion, and oils, not real butter
