Falling in love is not a choice. Staying in love is a choice.

No legislation they propose will not move forward. All that the Republicans left them are symbolic gestures

I literally posted a quote from the article where it talks about homelessness and untreated mental health.

Drugs, minor theft, any of the various excuses police use to lock up the homeless and those having a mental health crisis. Lots of options.

I’m not mad the study exists. It’s a useful finding. It’s the framing of the article I object to. It could just as easily be framed that mental health treatment for men at risk or incarceration improves outcomes and is more cost effective.

The homeless and those with untreated mental health disorders don’t have social or societal support, or they wouldn’t be homeless and untreated.

Many participants had issues such as homelessness, untreated mental health disorders, substance use, relationship crises, disengagement from health services and conflicts with government institutions.

Society is unwilling to help these men in desperate need of help until it is proven that it will help women first

Amusingly I got a spam call last week that came up on caller ID as “Obama 2012”.

Oops! Thanks

The chemical most places use for drycleaning is perchloroethylene, or perc, which can contaminate groundwater if not stored or disposed of properly.

I used to operate a drill rig for taking soil and water samples. I learned to read all the utility markings and to spot the telltale markings of previous drill work. I can walk around an urban area and tell you where all the gas stations and drycleaners used to be just based on a look at the pavement. In that sense I can “see” things others can’t.

Trump has abdicated all rights to be considered human.

Shooting sailors in the water after their boat has been sunk is literally the example the military gives of an illegal order. This was made a war crime specifically in response to Nazis doing this exact thing in WW2.

It would actually be pretty funny to send them the data they want but only from districts that voted Republican. (Of course they shouldn’t ACTUALLY do this but the idea is appealing).

We really need to stop electing people who think following the law is optional.

It’s more like walking on train tracks and being surprised when you are hit by a train.

The share of pedestrians increased over that period, which may have had something to do with it. I suspect cell phone use while driving makes up a large part as well.

It would be more economical to pay for people to relocate and train them for new jobs. There’s plenty of room in cities and suburbs for the displaced. To be clear, I’m not talking about getting rid of towns of 5000; I’m talking about towns of a population of 500 or less.

Hey, if they want to stay when the water, electric, sewage, roads, fire department, police, and all other publicly subsidized services are removed they are welcome to it. We all shouldn’t have to pay because a handful of people can’t adjust to the century they live in.
