A number of homeless are indeed are victims of our terrible socio-economic system. However I have heard many homeless outreach workers say the same thing “The ones who stay homeless are the ones who stay addicted”. Addiction is a serious issue and the challenge of beating it is nothing we should dismiss, however it is clear some people end up homeless due to drugs and stay homeless due to a refusal to get clean. When your life is centered around just getting high, you won’t care much about anything else. All the horrors of living on the street disappear once you get your fix, and some people are okay living like that.

I guess I’m writing all this to say that homelessness is a very complex and nuanced issue. They aren’t all victims, they aren’t all criminals, they aren’t all mentally ill, they aren’t all addicts, and for some its the only life they’ve ever known.

This is why the conversation around homelessness is so difficult. People just latch onto their idea of what being homeless is then build their argument from there, dismissing the remaining context of the concept.

I highly suggest doing homeless outreach to broaden your perspective on the matter (look up a local Food Not Bombs group if you live in a city!). If that isn’t something you’d like to do, there are plenty of videos on youtube that give you more insight into the homelessness experience. Obviously watch out for the videos that treat living on the streets as a spectacle or oddity, I absolutely hate these videos because they serve to shock and entertain, not educate.

True love is actually a great wish. Money runs out, the earth doesn’t have the resources to power an x-wing, super dude can’t do anything super or else society will now expect him to be Superman, which is a huge responsibility anyone reasonable would want. But TRUE LOVE, the fucking stuff from Disney movies? I’d take that in a heartbeat, then proceed to do a lewd photoshoot with my partner on the defunct x-wing.

Go make friends with a woman (or date one if you can manage that), hang out with her when she isn’t wearing make up. You’ll miss those lashes.

I used to play a game called Tokyo Jungle, in it you can play various animals in a humanless version of Tokyo. The main goal of the game is to explore the city and survive as long as you can while eating plants or animals your animal likes. This game taught me that larger animals need more calories to survive, as my runs with the alligator would end the quickest, where with the smaller animals I could play for longer. I just fact checked myself and elephants eat about 330-375 pounds of food per day, and this makes sense, the larger the biology, the more cells they have, the more cells they have, the more energy they need to keep those cells alive.

Since a t-rex is much bigger than an elephant, I’d imagine they would need an insane amount of calories per day to survive. In a starvation contest, a human would win. All you would have to do is wait for the lethargy of starvation to set in, and then when it falls asleep try to puncture an artery or slice tendons to immobilize the dino. The idea is that it would be so starved that even if it woke up, it wouldn’t have the coordination to immediately eat you, you may even have a comfortable window of time to seek shelter in the case that things go sideways. Or if you wanted to play it safe you could just wait for the t-rex to expire from starvation, but you’d most likely be feeling like shit by the end of that.

This isn’t a good alternative either. From reading the article it looks like this service is meant to screen less serious issues, and if those less serious issues need an in person doctor visit, you’ll need insurance.

The deeper problem is that if our personal data is gold, our medical data is diamonds. It may not be tomorrow, or a decade from now, but I guarantee any sort of contact non-medical corporations make with our medical data will result in a darker dystopia.

Targeted ads will be more invasive. Insurance premiums can be increased for “unhealthy” purchases. Medical coverage can be denied based on economic decisions. The list can go on. We would pretty much get a more perverse profit driven medical system if companies like Amazon start wiggling their way into medicine. Also regulations won’t keep us safe, you can thank lobbying for that.

Living 100% sustainably on this planet is counterintuitive to what it means to be human. We don’t need a political revolution, we need a psychological one.

This makes sense for anyone with a real threat model (companies, server hosts, internet drug dealers), for those who just meme and scream I’d say FF is better just for the health of the internet.

In the context of the comments here, no one really wants to give any libertarians the benefit of the doubt huh? Like maybe there are some folks out there who have a well thought out perspective and aren’t a caricature you learned about from memes.

I’m not libertarian, I’m just tired of the brain dead political takes you can find on the internet.

Maybe I should quit the internet.
