So sad all the Beatles were killed

Bruh, I work in homeless services. Egad man, get a grip

I "cherry picked a plot of land 100 miles from a population center" because that's where the vast majority of the federally-owned land is, out west in the middle of nowhere.

I said absolutely nothing about my opinions on what policies can be instituted to alleviate homelessness and associated issues, because my only point was that your idea is dumb. I work full time in homeless services and live and breathe bettering unhoused people's lives. I have no idea why you're directing anger at everyone here, at people who don't disagree in any way with your actual criticism of the problem of homelessness in the US, but you should probably explore it with a therapist.

Well, there's quite a bit more to it than that. An acre of land a hundred miles from a population center is essentially useless to someone without the money to build a dwelling with utilities or to obtain food

They have a reflective silver metallic appearance which is achieved through thin film interference within layers of chitin. These layers of the chitin coating are chirped (in layers of differing thicknesses), forming a complex multilayer as each layer decreases in depth; as the thickness changes, so too does the optical path-length. Each chirped layer is tuned to a different wavelength of light. The multilayer found on C. limbata reflects close to 97% of light across the visible wavelength range.

Nature is insane

She should document absolutely everything and then seek a protective order in whatever jurisdiction she's in. She should also really consider setting up a camera to record any areas she's concerned he will visit or vandalize again. Video evidence will be actionable where harassment through email/text frequently is not actionable. She could maybe reach out to a domestic violence shelter in her area for advice too, as they should be experts on this type of situation

This is a satire site, fyi. Paramount is not actually doing this

Edit to add I subscribe to Paramount because Star Trek. They also have a lot of great old movies. Their app sucks though, and the bright blue start screen almost gives me seizures

I don't have any concept for what 5 feet of snow looks like or what a city does to respond to it. That's a crazy amount of snow

Putting current events in historical context is not even remotely "whataboutism." And it sounds like you're saying your ancestors acted immorally for having children, which may be arguable...

I really do get the sentiment, but I also think about my grandparents who grew up during the great depression and then fought WWII, or really all the incredibly shitty times to be alive throughout history

I saw Cry Baby and loved it, and thought "Pink Flamingos is so famous, it must be great too!" I was disturbed. At what point are you just pushing the envelope for pushing the envelope's sake? Or was that just a documentary about Baltimore
