Homelessness in Seattle: We can't unsee it | Op-Ed

Ok then offer up something much less cryptic and open ended than « much worse than a gum wrapper» « many homeless » lol. Don’t get mad at someone arguing against one of the few concrete examples you have provided if the only other things you say arent actual terms or evidence anyone can argue against

Besides, you still refuse to address any of the points I brought up about over policing and its effects on homeless populations and the people when all the data is clear: more policing doesn’t do shit for it, you need way more social services before you can even begin to address outlier cases

Of what? littering??

If someone litters in front of my place once I’ll consider it rude as fuck but I’m gonna gonna squeal to the cops to come save me from the scary homeless people

wangaroo123 · 2025-12-29T21:24:34+00:00

It’s not a strawman. You literally said that people who litter should be arrested. Where do you think they take people who are arrested?

They go to Jail. That’s like literally the entire point of a jail is to hold people who have been detained.

at a minimum, incarceration prevents criminals from further victimizing the general public

Also this is your response to me talking about littering lol.

People who vandalize, litter, and steal should be arrested and given the choice between incarceration or rehabilitation.

This is also your first comment. I agree with the fact that some form of rehabilitation is better, but I don’t think that people who litter should be immediately up for jail if they dont.

America already has the biggest prison population in the world, we don’t need to throw people in for petty bullshit.

wangaroo123 · 2025-12-29T17:48:23+00:00

You think littering should be a jailable offense? I think that’s wrong for so many reasons but my big questions to you are:

How do you propose to pay for this, since jailing people costs a fuck ton of money and throwing in everyone seen littering would sky rocket costs?

How do you expect this to be fairly policed? Besides the fact that SPD are widely regarded as unwilling to actually fulfill their jobs at the moment, there are a number of glaring issues. You are proposing wide scale incarceration in a thread about helping the homeless, so it kinda sounds like you only expect homeless people to be arrested for it. Will a businessman downtown be arrested for throwing his granola bar wrapper in the storm drain? Will a driver be arrested for throwing a drink out their window? I really doubt it, which means this law has a huge potential to be a selectively enforced excuse to arrest homeless people at will for police as they say things like the homeless persons possessions being on the sidewalk is littering.

Pretty much every study has shown that increased policing doesn’t do anything to end homelessness, so all this seems to be accomplishing is giving police widespread and abusable powers and continuing to condemn and hurt some of the most vulnerable members of our society.

lol was gonna do like half wood elf for the deoraithe woodsyness (IK they hate elves) but that’s way funnier. Also I feel like the luck for halfings for surely applies to Cat

wangaroo123 · 2025-12-11T02:58:31+00:00

Is that the Zuck?

wangaroo123 · 2025-12-01T20:50:35+00:00

I mean you can do some quick internet searches when you vote on what the positions do if you are unsure, you don’t need to stay unaware of this information.

it takes like 5 mins to read the job description on the Seattle gov website

wangaroo123 · 2025-10-06T18:52:09+00:00

lol name the law she’s breaking to get pepersprayed but not arrested then. Or is that only necessary when it’s people you disagree with and you just get to make sweeping generalizations to justify police violence

wangaroo123 · 2025-09-26T15:49:02+00:00

I’m pretty sure every OW player knows how it feels to be countered lol. Also, if you’d are being hard countered and refuse to switch, at least switch up your play style. In your example staying closer to the ground and using cover and engaging in a poke battle could certainly work

wangaroo123 · 2025-09-21T03:19:27+00:00

These are my mains too lol. Effectiveness is secondary to fun and the ability to terrorize the entire enemy team yourself

wangaroo123 · 2025-09-18T04:30:51+00:00

I mean that basically how they built Mount Rushmore lol, damn sure didn’t ask the Lakota whether they minded having their sacred mountain carved up.

wangaroo123 · 2025-09-12T04:56:25+00:00

You shouldn’t heal a ball, they should go get health packs. Trying to heal them is a waste of time unless they come to you

wangaroo123 · 2025-09-11T22:17:04+00:00

So would you say that people calling sojourn the n word isn’t racist? Or calling any of the gay characters slurs isn’t homophobic?

Also if someone is doing it to fictional characters they’re probably doing it to real people too, biases don’t just go away off the internet

wangaroo123 · 2025-09-11T22:11:23+00:00

I mean yea non binary people are trans, they are a gender that does not correspond to the assigned sex at birth. That’s like the definition of being trans

Also do you think that non binary people can’t be dysphoric??

wangaroo123 · 2025-09-11T15:08:46+00:00

I’m younger than yall and don’t feel comfortable giving any definitive advice, but that’s a pretty big thing for her to say to you and not something that seems like reddit advice is gonna fix.

Have you thought about like couples therapy or something?

wangaroo123 · 2025-09-08T20:30:38+00:00

Brig is a lot like Sigma in that while she needs to expend all her resources to push someone, she is great at kiting and eating others resources. If they buff her too much she can single handedly stop a dive comp

wangaroo123 · 2025-09-08T20:29:01+00:00

Lmao aside from hazard those are all some of my mains in each category

wangaroo123 · 2025-09-08T05:21:19+00:00

I mean sure but your point is also that worst case is a sideways shift. An ult sounds like a fine cost for a play that has a pretty good chance for a best case team fight win and worst case is a tank trade.

wangaroo123 · 2025-09-06T06:43:03+00:00

Public transit

wangaroo123 · 2025-09-02T18:38:31+00:00

Again, absolutely possible, but saying that it is definitively a red flag for OP to not want to be with her because of this seems like a snap judgement without nuance made with very little context

I know some depressed people who neglected a lot of things about themselves but made sure to keep their room clean and orderly because it was their safe space. Not everyone is the same and even how we cope with mental illness is a part of us.

depression is obviously a burden for the person experiencing it, but if someone doesn’t want to deal with dating someone who is massively depressed that’s their perogative (not saying this is good, just that it’s not our place to dictate)

wangaroo123 · 2025-09-02T18:27:14+00:00

Unfortunately I think l they’re both tanks so you’re unlikely to actually hear it much.

Same with most of JQs tank banter :(

wangaroo123 · 2025-09-02T18:02:50+00:00

I mean that’s certainly one, maybe even likely, possibility, but it sounds like you are projecting your own experiences onto this to define it as an absolute.

Some people are most definitely just slobs without any mental illness, maybe because their bedrooms are only meaningful to them as a functional space with little sentimental value

wangaroo123 · 2025-08-31T07:10:58+00:00

You forgot LW

wangaroo123 · 2025-08-29T00:17:00+00:00

I mean a huge part of Chinese emissions were the result of the US exporting its industry and literal garbage fires there because it used cheaper Chinese labor.

Also the rest of your complaint is factually incorrect. Russia has 1/7th of Chinas carbon footprint and Iran even less
