Nobody cares as long as it’s huge and dystopian.

Thanos! Come back!

Jesus Christ, she was actually cute in the before, kinda like Sophie turner. The after looks like a bad action figure of Megan Fox.

Mmmm, no, very mammalian.

Right, it’s surreal and impossible to describe that disgust.

Aww! Let’s get to know each other!

Agreed, I dumbed it down a bit to summarize the point. The main point being that there isn’t any free pipeline of communication between these groups.

That’s a large part of it. They don’t care if there’s a homeless camp 20 k in the forest, as long as it isn’t visible.

Honestly, you’re probably going to have a hard time getting a legitimate answer from someone with experience. Misinformation and disinformation are likely to be tried on both sides but the reality is that it’s very difficult to really know.

1. Even when China does release statistics, you have to take it with a grin of salt.
2. homeless statistics, accounts and even acknowledgement of their existence is hard to trust even in the most democratic societies simply because of the nature of homeless living. Homeless generally tend to avoid official looking people if they can.
3. propaganda abounds from every angle when it comes to homeless, propaganda built from within, for within. Propaganda built from within, for export. Propaganda from outside, for themselves. Propaganda from outside, built for us.
4. The odds of getting first hand experience from a homeless (or formerly) person in China, on Lenny is unrealistically small. A large portion of Chinese housed don’t have internet, let alone the homeless. What I can guarantee you is that it’s not like the homeless you see in the west. They’re not sitting outside of a Starbucks on a cell phone.

My local gas station has better food for less. Their pork rib sandwich is $3.29 and is worlds better than the sugary slop that is the mcrib.

I got you fam, 20 rubles, 20 yen, 20… What?

Or at least make an attempt.

It’s hard to describe the feeling of immigrants clinging to a flag that I went to war for as a symbol of hope, when I now see only the opposite.

You’re not wrong, but let’s just see where this goes first. I’m not even sure the cheetoh poll higher amongst his fans than McDonald’s.

Jesus christ, 7x7? I got my bachelor’s , did the things you’re supposed to do, and when I found out what that life was like, I quit and became a forklift operator at a union job making more money, with better co-workers and less stress. I have little to no structure or micro-managing, don’t feel caged, I’m given the freedom and trust to manage myself, don’t deal with inane BS like meetings that have nothing to do with me, no stress whatsoever, when I leave those doors, im a free man. It infuriates me that I’m still paying for that bullshit paper that I’m not using, simply because older family members said I had to. Fuck.

After the boomers, none of us really stood a chance at fixing things, because we were raised by broken people. Broken people break other people in different ways than they were broken. That generation (as a whole, I know I’m generalizing, which is bad, I recognize there are a lot of amazing boomer parents and otherwise good influences) but in my personal experience, I’ve had FAR more friction with boomers than any other generation, by a VERY wide margin. It happens to such a degree that I sometimes question if I’m the problem. Then I get yelled at by some fat, bald guy with a goatee while I’m walking my dog, for him smelling the flowers around a tree between the road and sidewalk. Which is city property. Also, he always poops and pees before we go for the walk, so that wasn’t an issue either. This guy was just a dickhead trying to assert some kind of power because he was unhappy in life. I’ll give you one guess which flag he actually had ABOVE the American flag. That was before the election. The flag is now gone, but… I know where it was.

Holy shit I went off on a tangent lol. My apologies for my rant. The axe never remembers, the tree never forgets.

Disagree. I want to see the shocked Pikachu face as his supporters reality comes crumbling down and pam bondi gets buried under the rubble that used to be America. Even if there was an upheaval right now, so much damage has already been done there is no coming back to the “luster” we had. We “peaked” from the 40s to the late 60s and have been coasting on that reputation ever since. We cant coast anymore now that were trending down. Fuck me, none of this needed to happen.

Edit: I also do acknowledge that there’s more than 0 Republicans who actually hold their values with importance

If I’m in a hospital for 4 hrs, there’s a better than 0 chance I get priapism. (Have a thing for nurses)

Uh oh! Here come the pee pee videos!

In my experience, this just means “prepare for a savage attack from my back claws while I bite you”

There is no kicking this can. The time is now. This is where kicking the can gets us.
