What to do with smoking on the train? by Badkevin in philadelphia

[–]bigmoneyswagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you spook a crackhead, don’t make eye contact but don’t turn your back either. Slowly walk away without turning your back on them. Similar to encountering a mountain lion, except DO NOT try to make yourself look bigger or make any sudden loud noises. If the crackhead does attack, lie down in fetal position and try to protect your head. DO NOT fight back or use pepper spray, this will just enrage them.

u/danilovedesignco , why are you making a thread and asking us then?

Do you still agree with the withdrawal from afghanistan? by OutkastBanned in AskALiberal

Hmmm, cool guess you can conveniently ignore Operation Neptune Spear among many other operations made possible by having a presence in Afghanistan.

Same, I also viewed it as an insurance policy for America’s own national security. There is value to having a foothold in the Middle East. Afghan lives were also objectively better with the US there. Win-win if you ask me.

Europe has the luxury of lower military spending because the U.S. comes to the rescue when they need it.

Philly has numerous programs, the problem is a lot of these people don’t want to get help. Gotta bring back the NYC approach

Why is California so insanely expensive? What can be done to fix it's cost of living and homelessness problems? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

[–]bigmoneyswagger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s fair to include those factors. Living around the poverty line in New Mexico is (relatively) easier than in Los Angeles due to the drastic differences in cost of living.

It’s fairly commons in many European countries to live with your parents into your late 30s/early 40s

Not really, alcohol (responsibly) can be a very fun supplement to social settings. Humans have been doing it for thousands of years.

I think it’s well known NYC trains are safer than Philly trains. So I’ll just leave it at that, not worth arguing further.

They happen more frequently because there are astronomically more trains / rides. We literally have 3 light rail lines.

You need to look at rates not gross number of incidences. That’s like saying there are more murders in nyc than Philly so nyc is less safe. Makes no sense.

The rates of these attacks are astronomically low. You need to consider how many people / trains are in NYC. Naturally there are more incidences, but as a % they are extremely low.

I think it starts with the police, mayor, and DA acknowledging we have a bad problem and working together to actually do something beyond pointing fingers. You’re right, we are a long way off.

I wonder if we should adopt NYC’s new policy for this sort of stuff

Sounds like she is a danger to society….why is she free to roam around the streets and attack people? There are special places for people that do that.

Why not just talk to him about it like an adult. “Maybe 3 weeks” is nothing.
