Rest in peace, Terry. That type of person is always the most interesting to be around. The best conversations I’ve ever had have all been outdoors.

Because once those hit a certain danger threshold there’s not much to ‘bring back’ right? I vaguely recall reading that somewhere.

Your hatred for Trump is clouding your opinion of the economics of jobs.

Wow, a real life mind reader. What’s it like to be inside someone’s head and tell them how their mind works? Pretty cool.

I think this country was already broken well before he was in office, so you really can’t blame him for that.

You had me in the first half, but then lmfao really? Yes this country has been on a decline for a while, steep one at that. But his actions are the equivalent of ripping out the ventilator and kicking the patient down a flight of stairs.

I don’t think he has ‘emboldened the racists’.

This is how we know you are one. Multiple of his cabinet picks have clear ties to white supremacy orgs, and he loves to rain down punishment on anyone who fights for people to be treated equally.

I didn’t write this to convince you of anything. That hope is dead for people like you. There is no hope of instilling empathy in any real trump supporter at this point, I truly believe that. I wrote this for anyone who reads this conversation.

If we have to spend money to enjoy hanging out, we are not friends. But if you eat some honey roasted almonds from the bag in my center console when I offer, I love you.

Good afternoon Europe, how’s the day been so far?

I relate so hard. Honestly LED’s are nothing compared to the fucking laser headlights that now exist in Volvo models and others. Yes, you read that right, actual lasers.

I’ve been on the receiving end and actually had to pull over for a minute just to survive (ie not crash due to complete blindness from being flasbanged). Laser headlights should be illegal yesterday. The permanent damage from exposure again and again over time is going to cause long-term and slowly emerging vision problems theoughout the population. Seriously.

Making a good Overly Cropped is like a fine art. To crop a piece that leaves the reader wanting more is to create a story and a mystery. Great stuff.

That’s quite interesting because I experience something very similar but reversed. I enjoy watching movies sober, I am very particular with what I watch but if it’s interesting I have no problem investing in the story. Whereas if I’m high, I generally only enjoy watching TV shows - my attention span becomes similarly episodic.

That group definitely accounts for a healthy percentage of his viewership, but I doubt that number is above 25%. I don’t personally know anyone who hatewatches stuff, seems like a dismal way to spend free time.

He’s got 29 million subscribers across two youtube channels, I didn’t bother to check other socials. I hate him, but many others clearly don’t feel the same.

just trust us bro we’re so passionate and reliable

audits are totally unnecessary

Are you joking, or high? Let’s see, what would be great evidence of a desire to improve? Hmmmmm…

Just to add on to your excellent point here, this is often outlined in many forms of training. Never draw if you don’t intend to use it. Brandishing is the stupidest shit possible.

I think you’re being intentionally obtuse. The article is anything but vague. Are they supposed to name the exact agencies and businesses involved, or can we reasonably assume that Laydon is referring to state funded assistance? Here’s some select bits of the article since you don’t want to read.

Douglas County had created a team of experts, known as the “Homeless Engagement, Assistance and Resource Team," to help tackle the issue.  The HEART team, as county officials call it, is made up of experts in behavioral health and who are deployed in branded vehicles to help people living on the streets.

Here’s how the county handles it. When a report is made about a panhandler or a homeless person, a  HEART vehicle is deployed to the area and make an assessment.

Laydon called Douglas County’s approach “housing plus,” which, he said, is a balanced approach to “trauma-informed practices.”

“For us,” Laydon added, “‘housing plus’ means wraparound. So, it is housing, but it is also food, shelter, job counseling, mental health counseling. It’s treating those substance abuse issues that we know often come hand in hand with a lot of the issues that the unhoused face.”

Edit: Additionally, I fail to see the relevance of money spent if it actually results in less people unhoused. Denver spent way more money and ended up with a higher unhoused population than before.

Did you read the article? The actual details of the program are pretty far from what you say here. Don’t have time to bullet point at the moment but please trust me and just take a full look. As someone with deep personal experience around this issue, their method might be a genuine answer to the problem, when properly scaled. Not the first time a plan like theirs has been tried either; Olympia, WA has a similar program for direct outreach.
