Oh hell yeah. It would be especially nice too for those to have things like a shared makerspace and tool libraries.

Are you talking about the clutter image rating?

Facts. Folks tend to only carefully consider what they keep or bring in when it causes issues, like running out of space. They don’t usually think about it otherwise.

I like something in-between. I have hobbies where I use some equipment for building stuff. A smaller space would have worked if I could have changed some things in my old apartment, like being able to change the layout of my closets. (So I could store my stuff in a way it’s easier to get to. I could work around it, but it wasn’t optimal.) My family is also pretty messy, and I only have so much “effort” in me in a day. In certain small spaces, it’s pretty involved to try to get to something if your family blocked it, didn’t put it back, or just otherwise disrupted the “flow.” A little extra space means I have some wiggle room, and I am able to make sure our stuff doesn’t expand to fit the emptiness over a longer period of time.

I do like to have people over and entertain… It’s possible in a smaller place but a touch more space and it’s comfortable.

I don’t like big living spaces. There is too much space for things to get lost and there is more to clean and maintain. I like to buy stuff in bulk when there are sales, but there is a point where it’s just too much.

When I live by myself, all bets are off. Small spaces all the way. I don’t need to consider anyone else’s needs and I can make everything super efficient.

I’m not sure about being associated with a current cop.

If he was a cop, I would be curious to know why he isn’t any more. If it’s because he genuinely wanted to do good, but he left because he couldn’t change the system, this would earn a lot of respect in my eyes.

I am the one who puts it off.

The current system will have these folks cycle through the justice system. A justice system that will still hold them against their will and treat them poorly anyway. For those people that need to be held (a very small amount, like you said), it will be better to hold them in a jail/prison that promotes rehabilitation and will treat them compassionately of they continue to fail to be rehabilitated. Very unlike the current jails/prisons in the United States.

what are they supposed to do?

What should they do? Don’t make it the disadvantaged people’s problem. Make it the problem of the people that failed these disadvantaged folks.

Put pressure on the government to fix the lack of services. (Or if they’re already part of the government, the correct people in government, like the governor for state care.)

We can’t keep passing the buck.

Again, I understand it is uncomfortable to fight against an unjust system. It’s not pretty. But the alternative is letting down people that need support in favor of people that would as soon grind us up next.

Do you think those that are too mentally ill, violent, or antisocial deserve to keep being displaced because they can’t function in current society?

Giving more cash aid to those in need will solve a lot of problems (mostly for the first group), but as you say some of them (usually from the second group) are not able to use it properly. Those folks need support in the form of more services. Most of these services needed are mental health services.

These folks are in dire need of those mental health services; which can be very hard to get, even for those with money. It gets even more difficult if you need more than just a recurring therapy appointment, like being in a group home.

Some folks will even still hurt others with these supports, which I believe you referred to with violent/antisocial people. Those folks need to be rehabilitated. Unfortunately most of them will end up in jail or prison, which in its current form will not help them unless they put in a LOT of work to break the cycle. (There are still people that I believe will never be rehabilitated and should be in jail, but not in an environment like an American jail.)

Do these people deserve to be pushed out?

I do understand the desire to keep folks from sleeping on benches, making things smelly. Truly. But displacing this population so you don’t have to see or acknowledge their existence does not solve the issue. We need to look at the issue and work together to demand better for our more vulnerable populations.

But it’s drumstick shaped?

And yet it gets worse the more rural you get. I know a buddy that lives 10 miles outside of the closest town and they can get up to 3Mbps. I know it gets even worse in the boonies. At least my cell service isn’t terrible up there. It was pretty atrocious ~15 years ago.

I occasionally have to use Chrome because sometimes the sites I need to use won’t work with Firefox. This includes bill pay for some of my utilities. (At least usually by the next month, the utility company fixes their site again so I can use Firefox…)

I’m scandalized. It’s naked!

Damn you, Jim Morrison!

Why deal with float when you can use a table?

Hard relate. It really sucks and “active listening skills” do help a lot but it’s no substitute for just… Being able to follow along without incredible amounts of effort.

I feel like sometimes I get grace by brushing it off as “sorry I spaced out what did you say about XYZ?” but that only goes so far.

UTC, duh.

I was able to sit still just fine. Unfortunately, I would dissociate to be able to do this and as a result I had no idea what the hell was going on.
