Batteries, right?

Actually, both are true. There's not just one type of homeless person, which is a large part of why it's such a complex issue to address.

There are a lot of homeless who are severely mentally ill, addicted to drugs, or both (self medication). These people are a significant portion of the homeless (~1/3 mentally ill, ~1/3 alcohol, ~1/4 drugs).

There are also a lot of homeless people who had some bad luck and need help getting back on their feet.

There's no one size fits all fix here, but the idea of giving someone a stack of cash and expecting it to be used responsibly is absurd. There need to be guardrails in place.

I'm not disparaging the people who can't spend a stack of cash responsibly either. They need help in the form of social services, not money.

What? Why would the SC care about looking corrupt? They're clearly not hiding it anymore.

Do they think Putin cares?

It's already fucked the rest of the world up. Our far right cancer has been spreading.

This happened to me, but from catching myself when I fell skating.

It didn't hurt at all until I wondered why my wrist wouldn't rotate and looked down. I saw this, then it started to hurt.

The best part was the skating rink trying to get me to retroactively sign a liability waiver, and me telling them I broke my dominant arm (I didn't).

Well, the best part was the hospital refusing to set it, then the orthopedist refusing to belive the hospital didn't set it, so I had to have it surgically set a week later.

You're very wrong.

All of that would increase his support.

I didn't realize Poland considered themselves the best country in the world.

I'm about to start wearing my kilt in the rural south. It'll be interesting to see how it goes.
