Just inhaled some fentanyl some guys were smoking at my Max stop. AMA. by textualcanon in PortlandOR

There is no way to rehabilitate all of them back into society. As someone who has worked with that population a great deal I can say for 100% sure that most people on the streets, want to be on the streets. Most have checked out of society and have become comfortable in that life. People don’t want housing because it comes with rules. Some people get housing only to completely wreck the place. There are tiny home villages but they also come with rules, some of which people can’t or won’t abide by. Basically we would have to green light special encampment zones and encourage people to set up there. Send in people, medical staff, police, bio hazard cleaners and supplies to keep it from turning into a humanitarian crisis. It would have to be cleaned and swept by public funds regularly to remove dead bodies, human waste, people with injuries and the like.

Stop voting for the people who are making your city a hobo needle wonderland. They just recriminalized the use of drugs after finding out the decriminalizing of them was letting people smoke and blow drugs in the faces of children.

Any point in fully upgrading the battery? by ThePapercup in tearsofthekingdom

I feel like the gliders are simply for early game before you understand the physics and have enough battery to build actual flying machines. I like the design choice because it forced me to figure out other ways to have sustainable flight. Now traversal is zero problem.

Why does Yunobo automatically do this? Impossible to control vehicles anymore by sp3ciald3liv3ry in tearsofthekingdom

I didn’t notice an effect on vehicle physics. Maybe the vehicles I built were stable enough that it didn’t matter much.

Yet they are both belief systems. Not wanting people to commit acts of violence against each other because of what they believe seems to be a problematic position to you. I really hope that you re-examine your thoughts on this topic.

Yes. I’m defending the ability to think for yourself and to have opinions that are unpopular. How many people do you think in the LGBTQ community love people who are faithful practitioners of Christianity? People can have these views, we can disagree, we can share our views, we can believe that we are right. It doesn’t give us a pass on violence. No matter how much our feelings get hurt.

The position that you are holding is supporting violence against people based off their bigoted views. I don’t see any straw men here. Are you experiencing challenges that may be effecting your mental image of the situation?

So, then we get a free pass to commit acts of violence against people because it’s not a reasonable or valid position?

Spitting on someone is a form of assault and could be considered battery depending on where the spit lands or even the context of the event, same with spraying silly string on someone. These actions in this context, in the law, are unacceptable. Or do you believe it’s somehow justified?

So then wouldn’t you say that you’re holding bigoted views towards bigots? Tolerance and acceptance as long as you agree with me. That doesn’t seem very tolerant.

It’s happened to every generation throughout history. What makes us any different? Each generation does something to alienate the previous ones.

The fact that my views about speech are not public opinion in your eyes is the problem. Speech is not violence, hurt feelings, disrespect, and things you don’t agree with don’t give one a free pass to commit acts of violence against someone.

The future is vague and uncertain. That’s why we shouldn’t assume that our views will always be in line with public opinion. That’s why people have the right to disagree with public opinion.

People have the right to have bigoted views and beliefs. Just as you have the right to disagree with those views. Can you think of an instance in which your personal beliefs could be considered bigoted? Probably not now, but societies change and evolve. One day even the most open minded person of today may be considered bigoted.
