- There are some bad storms now, so it's def. weather related. Should subside in a bit.* - By toffee July 31, 2025 at 03:05:17 PM
- Is it the thunderstorms? They should pass in a few hours* - By ny1995v2 July 31, 2025 at 02:58:46 PM

If half of this WaPo article is true, every member of this administration should be brought before the Hague. Fucking despicable. (link) - By FlintBlue July 31, 2025 at 02:22:08 PM
- Also WAPO facing a mass of journalists so these types of stories and 60 Minutes probably no longer an issue for administration going forward**** - By Cincywolve July 31, 2025 at 02:25:47 PM

Speaking of NEKMATE - are there any purchases you've made that you hadn't ever thought of making that turned out to be life changing?* - By P July 31, 2025 at 02:04:22 PM
Colson Montgomery currently is rocking an avg bat speed of 77mph. That's Aaron Judge, Oneil Cruz, Ohtani territory. He's got a lot of holes in his swing, but he also hits the piss out of the ball* - By daytripper July 31, 2025 at 02:03:13 PM
What does the shithead board take on the homeless?.... - By P July 31, 2025 at 01:55:06 PM
- Come to think of it, you don't see a lot of homeless illegals do you?* - By LewisBullox July 31, 2025 at 01:59:30 PM
  - They are too busy murdering and raping white women to be homeless, obviously* - By P July 31, 2025 at 02:01:14 PM
    - Ah right, I didn't think about that. Probably just squatting in their homes collecting Medicaid checks* - By LewisBullox July 31, 2025 at 02:03:25 PM
I know a good % of the mental health institutions closing was due to the GOP in the late 70s & 80s, but wasn�t at least part of it the ACLU & other civil liberties groups suing & lobbying against policies that amounted to involuntary imprisonment for non criminal actions? Seems like it was a very multi causal thing.* - By LKLIII July 31, 2025 at 01:45:45 PM
- Deinstitutionalization was indeed a cause for the left, as well. But they banked on a sufficiently resourced community mental health network, which never materialized** - By Brad July 31, 2025 at 02:32:13 PM
- Jimmy Carter was a big champion of it. The the Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 was the first big driver, then Reagan folded it into a cheaper law. * - By Mark II July 31, 2025 at 01:58:30 PM
- I always assumed it was because the MH profession itself found home care was more or less better for a variety of reasons and didn�t think of the long term effects for those without any support* - By harbaughdyssey July 31, 2025 at 01:53:44 PM
What are the chances that Frodo is threatening judges? - By Cincywolve July 31, 2025 at 01:44:08 PM

Seth says Kudzal is a lock to be RB3? Is that based off of anything but the spring game? Seems crazy to me a walkon would pass up multiple scholarship guys and proven transfers at RB* - By harbaughdyssey July 31, 2025 at 01:38:53 PM

On a lighter note, I thought Connections was amusing today - By BigAppleBucky July 31, 2025 at 01:38:32 PM

I just ordered some sort of rubber headband that is supposed to help me get rid of my back-neck hair without totally butchering it. Game changer bro* - By P July 31, 2025 at 01:32:15 PM

My short spoiler free take on Superman (and every other comic book movie now). - By Scouser July 31, 2025 at 01:24:16 PM
- Nolan is in his own league (m) - By Spirit July 31, 2025 at 01:38:00 PM
  - Except they're not. Disney has had multiple MCU movies fall very flat. I saw the quote the other day where someone was basically asking if they have to watch the latest Marvel whatever to understand what's going on. Thunderbolts, Iron Heart, Zombies, Wonder Man, multiple Wakanda properties releasing this year. They've made it a chore to watch and follow along. - By Beave July 31, 2025 at 03:32:46 PM
  - To your last point, I think the cast of the Avengers series hold 9 out of the top 10 spots on the list of highest grossing box office actors.* - By apblue July 31, 2025 at 03:05:10 PM
it would be really hard and complicated, and you would have to incentivize people, but as you scale up housing you would have to have different levels of Never Homeless + Former Homeless cohabitation. like mainstreaming in elementary school. if you just build a big ass tower and put all the homeless in it that's how you get Judge Dredd * - By Nikos July 31, 2025 at 01:03:47 PM
- t's a problem that requires a comprehensive solution. The problem is that there is no political will to deal with the problem comprehensively so we end up with partial solutions that aren't particularly effective on their own* - By P July 31, 2025 at 01:30:18 PM
  - Cons and progressives both approach the issue from the wrong starting point. cons see it as a law and order thing only, proggos see it as a failure of housing. Nobody wants to take a middle position telling both extremes they are dead wrong* - By daytripper July 31, 2025 at 01:31:52 PM
    - According to Seattle Times reporting there have been some benefits to converting hotels into housing... - By P July 31, 2025 at 01:48:50 PM
    - The housing argument is really dumb. I see it all the time on r/annarbor and r/Austin* - By LewisBullox July 31, 2025 at 01:36:30 PM
      - Housing is a huge piece, but not the only piece. When housing is extremely unaffordable, it's much easier to fall behind on payments and end up on the streets. Then comes the addiction.* - By Bluebuck July 31, 2025 at 01:45:12 PM
        Maybe this is splitting hairs, but for those who are trying, I see it as a social safety net issue more than housing. A2 is never going to be affordable. If you want to support Delonis Center folks, you need another tool* - By LewisBullox July 31, 2025 at 01:50:04 PM
        I think it's more complicated than that. "People who are trying" can get warped once people fall into addiction.* - By Bluebuck July 31, 2025 at 02:10:53 PM
        Just saying affordable housing is really not the core issue, at least IMO* - By LewisBullox July 31, 2025 at 02:47:00 PM
      - 10 years ago I was a housing first person. But lived experience has shown it just doesn't work. As nikos said you need to stratify the homeless. Some are just not capable of living in society, they will burn their apt down, sell drugs out of it, etc* - By daytripper July 31, 2025 at 01:41:24 PM
        Affordability is a huge issue, but I don't think it's generally the source of homelessness. And if anything the answer for those few who are truly trying and can't find affordable housing should be solved by unemployment benefits, etc.* - By LewisBullox July 31, 2025 at 01:44:22 PM
- I've got a solution! - Bunny Colvin* - By LewisBullox July 31, 2025 at 01:23:08 PM
  - On a serious note, in the town my FiL lives in in Switzerland, they have a facility that houses men with mental/emotional issues paid for half by the state and half by churches. It's not just a temporary bed. Of course we would never do stuff like that here * - By LewisBullox July 31, 2025 at 01:33:46 PM
    - There are facilities like that in the US? * - By jjwalker July 31, 2025 at 03:03:18 PM
      - No there aren't* - By LewisBullox July 31, 2025 at 03:15:07 PM
- Might be oversimplifying it. But the 2.5 main culprits to me are 1. Reagan closing mental health facilities in the 1980s, 2. Sackler family's greed, .5 COVID times (still in progress)* - By uncwolverine July 31, 2025 at 01:12:42 PM
  - Considering #1 on a more local level... - By rkm July 31, 2025 at 01:20:39 PM
    - Much of the mental health community still bitterly remembers John Engler closing Detroit's Lafayette Clinic in 1992. Later, he went on to close three-quarters of all mental institutions in the state � and this was done in what seemed an especially brutal and uncaring way... - By rkm July 31, 2025 at 01:25:15 PM
      - I remember when my neighbor across the street Paul L had his daughter Paulette sent to Eloise back when I was a kid. Shameful shit on his part. I also... - By rkm July 31, 2025 at 01:29:00 PM
  - Hard to overstate how badly the Sackler family fucked America. Turned regular old alkies into pill zombies* - By daytripper July 31, 2025 at 01:20:09 PM
  - The Sacklers whole fortune should be confiscated and used for trearment and rehabilitation. (WV is grim)**** - By Cincywolve July 31, 2025 at 01:19:56 PM
  - yeah again totally anecdotal but I do feel there was progress until Covid struck and it was all undone * - By Nikos July 31, 2025 at 01:13:39 PM
- As a taxpayer, I would gladly pay more in taxes to be able to help homeless people that can be helped. I have no data, but I'd guess that is way less than 50%. Only way to really solve the issue is huge spending on intrastructure to build and staff psuedo prisons for the mentally ill* - By BBA July 31, 2025 at 01:07:46 PM
  - what were the things Reagan closed? I'm totally unfamiliar tbh * - By Nikos July 31, 2025 at 01:19:29 PM
    - Shut down state inpatient mental health infrastructure Cali, then undid Carter's federal funding of mental health treatment. States weren't equipped to make up for it.* - By Bluebuck July 31, 2025 at 01:49:07 PM
    - That's because it's (now) irrelevant. 40 years ago Reagan did X, so we're stuck is pretty much "I'm not serious about this." Tbf, it's a scary issue to try to take on.* - By ftb July 31, 2025 at 01:47:12 PM
  - I think a decent chunk of the mental illness is a result of homelessness + chronic drug use. Gotta address the drugs.* - By Bluebuck July 31, 2025 at 01:09:06 PM
    - the Vancouver program has been insanely unsuccessful. Portugal is clearly unique, not repeatable * - By Nikos July 31, 2025 at 01:15:22 PM
      - IMO you need a balanced approach, which is not politically feasible in our polarized climate. - By Bluebuck July 31, 2025 at 01:40:30 PM
    - How can you really address that? People that are rich and have great lives can't quit drugs* - By BBA July 31, 2025 at 01:14:24 PM
- I don�t get what�s wrong with using criminal justice system. They deal with all sorts of degrees of deviance and mental health issues by forcing more or less involuntary decisions on folks* - By harbaughdyssey July 31, 2025 at 01:06:45 PM
  - what do you mean? * - By Nikos July 31, 2025 at 01:12:45 PM
    - I mean being charged for whatever applicable violations (disorderly conduct, substance abuse, loitering, etc) and the civil authorities give you options (jail or inpatient rehab, halfway houses, etc.)* - By harbaughdyssey July 31, 2025 at 01:19:47 PM
      - There needs to be an infrastructure for inpatient rehab.* - By Bluebuck July 31, 2025 at 01:43:51 PM
  - Because prison is really awful, and shouldn't be used as a solution to make all of our problems go away. Also, giving someone a criminal record greatly diminishes their ability to thrive in the future. - By Bluebuck July 31, 2025 at 01:12:37 PM
    - A lot of people committing crimes are desperate and mentally ill. Not every prison is a Supermax. Not everyone offender goes to prison. Group housing for addicts and living in camps outside is awful too)* - By harbaughdyssey July 31, 2025 at 01:21:20 PM
