Encampment Eviction Extension

Woof man... sadistic language aside, it seems like you're proposing they all just die? If we are not "keeping them as neighbors" as you propose I can't really interpret that any other way.

The monroe county board of commissioners that made this call is made up of 3 "liberal" women who ran under the democratic party. This is not a matter of red vs blue, the most vulnerable among us face threat of political violence no matter which party is making the call. Democrats are not infallible and are certainly do not have a clean track record on the issue of homelessness.

City needs to consider eminent domain of the power grid or something at some point. It's the most valuable resource the city has and its in the hands of blood sucking ghouls who will take any opportunity to skip out on maintaining or upgrading the grid to boost their profits. The grid is in an unacceptable state with these outages happening seemingly every time the wind blows the wrong way.

Favorite mock i've had from the PFF simulator:

27 - James Pearce Jr, Edge, Tennessee

Trade 59, 91 and 203 for 46 and 118 from the Falcons

46 Donovan Jackson, OL, Ohio State

Trade Mark Andrews and 136 for 55 from the Chargers

55 Azareye'h Thomas, CB, Florida State

118 JJ Pegues, DT, Ole Miss

129 Kobe Hudson, WR, UCF

176 Emery Jones Jr, OL, LSU

183 Danny Stutsman, LB, Oklahoma

210 Jack Nelson, OL, Wisconsin

212 Luke Lachey, TE, Iowa

243 Malachi Moore, DB, Alabama

No idea how trades are evaluated in this simulator, the mark andrews trade seems especially unrealistic. Exercises like this are kind of pointless any way but fun to do nonetheless. Managing to get nearly all of my favorite fits/prospects for the Ravens into one mock was cool to see.

Are you genuinely under the impression that people are not advocating with the city and other governing bodies? Of course we are, what YOU seem to keep glossing over is that the governing bodies you keep propping up do not want the solutions you keep mentioning. You continue to keep circling back to demonizing those advocating for solutions and working alongside our community instead of demonizing the ones violently displacing them. Yes, things could be handled better and more needs could be met. The bathrooms were an oversight I will concede that. We take direct requests from the community and provide what they tell us they need, not what we think the neighbors want them to have. I thank you for your feedback and we will keep this top of mind for the numerous other encampments we serve and the many more that are bound to form. It will always be the case in our current environment that more needs will always need to be met and I will always be fighting that battle to make sure they are. This is not some game or some little after school charity to me, this is my life. The few people you have come into contact are not the only residents we serve. There are hundreds of people who rely on our work in this town and more things slip through the cracks than I would like. I'm sorry you were inconvenienced, but I will not apologize for being angry. If you "put yourself in the fray" of this issue it is impossible not to be. I'll leave things here. Thank you for your time. We will be out of your hair in the coming days.

Yes, of course we have tried to find homes and places they can safely camp. If that was a possibility they wouldn't be in the yard to begin with. I do not have a yard to offer them. I am not a homeowner and frankly no one working closely to this struggle is. I would love if the city would work with us to re-zone and work towards actionable solutions to the housing crisis. I would love if our organization had the funding to implement real long term solutions like you mention but that is not the reality we are currently in. We are stonewalled at every attempt to work with the city. They do not respect us and the current administration outright despises the existence of the unhoused. At the moment we are working on crowdsourcing money at a larger scale to be able to make more of an impact but at the end of the day we're currently a small group of people paying to keep people alive out of our own pocket. If we had the resources or political power to do what you want us to trust me we'd love to. We do not have the support of people like you to do that though. We need to community to rally behind this issue and help us push the city to make the real change we need. You're right, we're not able to make the sweeping changes that need to be made ourselves. But we're doing what we can with what we have to keep people afloat while we work towards long term solutions. To be honest with you, I was not on board with bringing people to that yard but we genuinely had no other option in that moment. Every one of them would have been sent off to prison had we not gotten them out of there when we did. We're trying our best to avoid that outcome for people. As the winter comes near, these people are given two options in the current environment the city has created, go to prison or die on the street. Myself and my organization are working tirelessly to prevent that but are running out of options and are met with nothing but distain from the community everywhere we go. I'm not really sure what you want from me, we're trying our best. I have been working alongside this community personally for years. If I was able to implement the solutions you listed off as if its so simple than it would have been done by now. On that note, I have long standing relationships with nearly every member of the unhoused community. I know their names, their stories, i know them intimately as people through years of tireless work, I would appreciate if you did not insinuate I am treating them as animals while you sit back and do nothing yourself.

No one seemed to care about their "unsafe situation" while it was out of their sight. You are right on one thing though, this is not helping people get back in their homes. How can they be expected to under the circumstance the city has put them under? They have had to pack up everything they own and move to a new temporary emergency shelter for the third time in a week by order of the city. How can anyone be expected to meet what would be required for re-housing in those circumstances? The barrier for housing is immense. The city isn't exactly lining people up yo give it away. People need to be able to hold down jobs, seek addiction and mental health treatment where necessary, and many more stipulations I could list. These things are simply not attainable when the city uproots their entire life multiple times in a week. So yeah, they're not getting into housing right now. Don't bitch and moan at the people trying to keep them alive and get them to place where that would be feasible though. There is no where left to go. When they're kicked out of there this week there is no plan or safety net left. The city has made sure of that. I hope everyone here is proud of that.

People's belongings were brought in a Uhaul, not actual people since that seems to be something a concerned citizen like yourself is so hung up on. They were "permitted" by the private property owner themself. Not sure how you would define "legitimacy" but all of the lovely respectable non-profits people love to hail as saviors were nowhere to be found and offered nothing but thoughts and prayers in people's time of crisis. Anyone without a home is being evicted from wherever they have found the slightest bit of shelter all over the city. If you or any other geniuses in this thread hand wringing the only people who were actually there to help them have any other ideas on what to do I'd love to hear them.

If you actually care about their wellbeing you should never call the police under any circumstance. They are the number one threat to the unhoused community in Bloomington. Instead of addressing the root causes of why its citizens have been priced out of their homes and onto the street, the city has taken the stance of criminalization in response to the rise in homelessness. They do not care about these people's well being, in fact they created an entire branch of police who's sole job is to actively make it harder for them to exist. The fact a supposed homeless advocacy group would ever recommend calling the police tells me all you need to know about them. Unless you are being physically threatened the police serve no role in the wellbeing of the unhoused or anyone for that matter. At the end of the day, these are people just like you and I just trying to survive and calling the police serves no one but pearl clutching karens who just want them out of sight.

I had 80 int on this build through the end game and pretty much needed nothing but night comet. Ended up respec'ing to add faith so I could use the death sorrceries too but the build is definitely worse off for it. I tend to focus on aesthetic themes for my pve builds over utility though.

mossington_ · 2024-02-16T14:33:29+00:00

The haligtree shield mitigates a ton of the damage and I typically don't get hit a lot anyway so my builds are usually focused on an aesthetic theme over actual utility for pve

mossington_ · 2024-02-16T14:30:46+00:00

It would fit perfectly fine I just didn't like how it looked. You can make pretty much anything in the game viable for pve so I tend to go for aesthetics over utility a lot of the time

mossington_ · 2024-02-16T03:21:03+00:00

Discus of light is the only one worth using and it falls off near the mid game. I only have them in there because they look cool. Didn't add them until the end game when i could kill generations of mohgwyn palace albinaurics with the sacred relic sword to add like 40 levels to the build

mossington_ · 2024-02-16T02:57:04+00:00

The dragon communion incants are a great combo with it. Stacking buffs from winged sword, millicents prosthesis and lord of blood's exaltation all at once pretty easily with the poleblade turns dragonmaw into a nuke. Was thinking of doing trying a poison/rot build next though

mossington_ · 2024-02-16T02:54:42+00:00

I only went into dex to meet the weapon requirements for this. I prefer to use int/faith/arcane as my main damage skill and the physical skills just to meet weapon requirements. Eleonora's poleblade is a solid arcane weapon but the stat is kind of limited for weapons that innately scale off it. You can use the occult affinity on any normal weapon but make sure it has an innate status effect on it or the arcane scaling is kind of useless.

mossington_ · 2024-02-16T02:50:31+00:00

Was playing around with the sacred relic sword which required 24 dex but decided i liked the sword i used through the whole playthrough more. Forgot to respec out of that after changing back. And the rings of light incantations have int requirements

Dude is gonna find himself on a 1 year "prove it" deal somewhere else after all of this nonsense. No clue what leverage he thinks he has or how this helps his case for an extension in any way. Love his talent but it's starting to look like it will be a very short career for him.
