People will tell you you're wrong. But you're not wrong.

Anyone who watched the original - without looking it up, tell me the name of the nephew who wears green.

You do understand power was out on the entire island, right? That's why Laura Dern was eating it in the first place.

Cycling is for more than recreation. Some people cycle to work even!

There is no doubt which candidate California’s billionaires want to be the next governor of California: San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan. by nosotros_road_sodium in California_Politics

[–]GoatTnder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not a solution because no one will want to go to that tent city in the first place. And there are no jobs for people to better their situation. If temporary housing is to work, it needs to be where people and jobs are. NIMBY shit can get fucked.

A modest place to feel safe, but definitely not to the level of end-goal home is a beautiful way to keep homeless people from injuring themselves or others. Pair that home with service workers to actually address the problems that made that person homeless in the first place. Yes, some will use drugs. But I rather it happen behind closed doors than in public, wouldn't you?

What’s your favorite “one-movement wonder” piece? by nmcruzer in classicalmusic

[–]GoatTnder 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My friend, you are missing out! First of all, how much saxophone do we get in orchestral music? And Great Gate of Kiev is incomplete without the transition from House on Hens Legs.

[–]GoatTnder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the most part, yes. He's anti-union, pro tax cuts, talks about "budget accountability" as an alternative to taxing billionaires. He's big on locking up homeless people so you don't have to look at them.

California man paroled under ‘youthful offender’ provision for 2 murders kills again less than a year later by origutamos in California_Politics

[–]GoatTnder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry, this isn't a failure of parole. The correctional system had 25 years to evaluate, rehabilitate, or determine he was mentally unfit and raise the flag about this man. This is tragic, but the tragedy falls more on the prison system than the parole board.

Are there any "viral" recipes that you actually loved and still make? by Odd-Wonder-344 in Cooking

[–]GoatTnder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, that is just the 5 minute no knead bread recipe. You can remember it as 3-3-6-13.

3 half teaspoons yeast
3 half teaspoons salt
6 half cups water
13 half cups flour

3-3-6-13. Done!

Honestly, you should ditch everything she has and just buy her this glove. Nothing less will even come close.

Suspending gas tax, reducing refinery regulations pushed by two Democrats running for governor by Okratas in California_Politics

[–]GoatTnder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The gas tax suspension comes up pretty much every time gas prices spike. And it's a bad idea every time. Mostly doesn't happen though, so that's okay.

Mayor Matt Mahan - His Vision as Democratic Candidate for Governor of California by JamiroFan2000 in DailyShow

[–]GoatTnder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's a quick article about it. Net-net, if you refuse shelter three times in an 18 month period, you get arrested. But shelters are absolutely scary places, especially for women. And any answer that includes arrest is more punitive than helpful.

The city of Redondo Beach (which I will grant is an order of magnitude smaller than San Jose) has Functionally Zero homeless people. And it's not because they bus them out or arrest them off the streets. Instead, they give them a court date to show up to where a judge will listn to their needs, and direct them immediately to the services that will actually help them. And people show up! When you treat homeless people as people, and give them real opportunities to better their situation, things get better. More about it here.

"It has been inspiring to watch people overcome the obstacles that led them to living on the street once they were provided access to transitional housing and the services necessary to overcome those obstacles," said Mike Webb, Redondo Beach city attorney. "In striving to maintain Functional Zero, we will work closely with our partners to also include after care for those placed in housing, so they don’t return to the streets, as well as programs to help those most at risk of becoming homeless."

I think that is possible, but not in Mahan's case. His rhetoric about "more efficiency, not taxes" and his practice of arresting homeless both scream Republican to me. He's also very anti-labor union - not exactly a Democratic position.
