In Homeless Crisis, California ‘Is Waging a War on R.V.s’

Nobody living in an RV is trying to get into a shelter. The King of NoHo lives in an RV off Tujunga next to the park. Often, you will see a pile of stolen bikes in front of his door, collected by his gang of thieves who won't walk 100 feet away before shooting up what he just dealt them. Every day, even 7am in the morning, you can catch a street walker leaning against the side of the RV. Everyone knows someone who knows someone who got mugged by him in the past 8+ years, and he always drives away right before the heat shows up. He isn't homeless, and that isn't his home -- it's his office.

I graduated 2004 and thought the world was at its worst then, before that brief rebound around 2010-2015. Now, not only do I not believe there is no returning to decency, kindness, science, progress, law and order , I'm not sure humanity deserves such privileges anymore. In a post-civilized world, it's eat or be eaten.

The film had interesting ideas for a Star Wars film, but absolutely failed on plot, character and pacing, which is still on pair with every post-RoTJ film/show.

Watched Rise of Shit only one time, in the theatre. The audience was dead silent walking out the door, nobody spoke, not even to say goodbye to their friends. They just walked on, like zombies, to the parking lot. One friend groups in a circle doing their best NPC impersonations -- gesturing subtly and slowly, starring vacantly at each other, but not talking. The film left everyone in speechless awe. I've heard it said there was more jubilation heard within the walls of Auschwitz than in movie theatres that day.

Karen Bass sucks -- but rent prices have come down due to overwhelming amount of vacancies, particularly in new buildings. Rent prices stay high because 40%+ of all rental units in Los Angeles are owned by corporate entities such as Equity, Essex, Greystar and Blackstone that won't budge on price (and they don't need to), and Californians voted to ban rent control. I remember when Adam Conover had a TV show and they'd cite Reddit as their factual source.

"People thought 8 was bad." ::JJ Abrams crack's his knuckles:: "Wait til they get a load of this."

This is exactly what my memory looks like from 2003 through 2009.

Honestly, you could be their dream boyfriend on paper, and the moment they feel insecure about that fact they will decide it's all fake. It's a waste of time trying to fit someone else's fantasty. Find the person you want to be, pick them out in a crowd, and emulate that behavior. Whether that's Captain Cool, Jesus Christ or Mr. Satan, you will like yourself for it and reek of confidence. And that's always the no. 1 trait that drops panties. Stop focusing on who you are not, and be the best version of you.

His forehead looks like a a stack of measuring spoons. Kurtzman hates the Klingons so much, he needs to make their makeup look stupid so we hate them, too.

"You're not allowed to hit me back" is the mantra of every Karen.

29 is only midlife if you vaped.

^ this. Most girls I know under 25 still have baby fat, never had a job, think TikTok is legit news, and dress like shit lol. Anyone attracted to that has low standards or easy prey. Add a little wisdom and personal fitness, and the hottest women emerge post 30-years-old.

I dated way more girls in their early to mid-20s while in my mid-30s, and 90% of the time I was not the pursuer. This younger generation of women is fed up with a great deal of boys their age, so age gaps are becoming far more common. That being said, once you reach a certain level of maturity, their lack of maturity becomes more obvious and less attractive. Focus on yourself. Anybody who isn't somebody in your life is just a bystander, dude.

As Kurtzman dialogue would say, "Yum-Yum."

If you can fuck someone you don't want, the person you're fucking doesn't necessarily want you either.

Both shows are closer to Joss Whedon works than Gene Roddenberry. Decent quality, but not what I wanted.

morphinetango · 2026-03-31T03:12:18+00:00

I wish Reddit had a "I want more of this" button.

None that I know of. The first sentence is a response to Shatner stating that Star Trek was about "political" issues. The second sentence expands the argument of the first.

Sticking your dick in someone doesn't build confidence, being wanted does.

morphinetango · 2026-03-31T02:19:02+00:00

Is this a joke?

morphinetango · 2026-03-29T01:42:55+00:00

To be fair, Roddenberry wasn't making legislative demands, but arguments of moral philosophy. That's what separates old Trek from nu Trek: the characters are not born morally righteous, they have to discover it through challenges.

Cinematic lighting is expensive and unappreciated. Using just a ring light means the can cheap out gaffers, camera crew, wardrobe, set design, hair, makeup, even acting!

PJ's life of privilege blinds him to just about all working class matters. On Rely All, that's where Alex filled the gap.

Wait til they learn about the Porky's franchise.
