It made it de jure illegal to be homeless, and de facto more illegal to be homeless.

And a hell of a lot harder for these people to get back on their feet now that they’ll be trapped in an endless cycle of streets > tickets/fines > jail.

Tell me how a homeless person is supposed to come up with $5k to pay off fines and get a license after it’s suspended for non-payment of fines for example? They don’t and they stay homeless. Even if they manage to get a job they get their pay garnished so they still can’t afford anywhere to live and then get more tickets for being homeless all while working complete trash, dehumanizing jobs with low pay. How long does someone bother to continue trying to “do the right thing” in those circumstances?

Because in fucking capitalist Democrat “utopia”, there “are” “no” homeless people. But there has to be a permanent underclass and their lives have to be hell or there will be no one left to melt for biomass.

Can’t say I disagree living up north in Oregon and seeing all the same abhorrent behavior from our state Dems. Like for example refusing to distribute hundreds of millions meant for rehab centers and instead overturning the voter initiative that made it a requirement and redirecting all those funds toward police. My Democratic Rep also just voted against impeaching Trump.

The “protection” you’re advocating for is for the government to wipe the existence off the map of an entire other group who are doing literally no harm to anyone and just want to exist.

Your claim that normalizing (e.g. acknowledging they exist) non-hetero relationships is “unconstitutional” and “intolerant” is complete horseshit and if this were 1860, you’d be making the same argument against black people being free from slavery because it offends the white “Christians” who “deserve protection” even though the actual tenets of their religion states otherwise, both then and now. What is unconstitutional is the government enshrining into law the imagined beliefs of a very specific religion at the expense of all others. I hope you do believe in Christianity because with that belief comes the knowledge that there is a special place in hell reserved for the likes of you.

I guess I meant “cold” in the sense of “uncooked” hot dogs that have a very distinct texture, but it doesn’t sound like these are the same as what I’m thinking of either way.

Eating them infrequently is exactly how I noticed the change especially with the Cadbury eggs. It used to have a creamy center that has been replaced with what tastes like a spoonful of gritty Betty Crocker sugar frosting. Reese’s are less obvious but also just taste like sugar (or HFCS) to me now and they were my absolute favorite as a kid as someone who’s not really into candy.

Was it like eating cold hot dog meat? These sound like fish/beef balls used in soup like pho though they’re a Vietnamese thing.

Reese’s tasted a whole lot better 20+ years ago. Now it’s just gritty sugar with peanut butter flavored ‘essence’ added. Same goes for Cadbury eggs which are completely inedible now.

Sounds like something that would pair well with Almond Roca for a litter box themed party.

This is why you shouldn’t be acting judgemental and giving advice about “how easy it is” to kick an addiction that you yourself have only abstained from for 3 whole days.

To be clear this is directed at the person you’re responding to not you personally.

While I have no objection to these books and I think that normalizing non-heterosexual relationships is good, the fact of the matter is that doing so violates the sincerely-held religious beliefs of some parents. Religious beliefs have special constitutional protections whether or not they’re viewed favorably by society. (Protection of only those beliefs viewed favorably is no protection at all.)

So what about the religious protection for everyone else who doesn’t fall into that group? You’re arguing that it should be eliminated? That Amendment specifically mentions freedom from religion as well so why aren’t you making the case for that here too? It sounds exactly like you’re arguing that the only people who should be offered protection are those who you view favorably.

Biden also said he wouldn’t run again if he won in 2020 and we all saw how that played out.

0% considering how many Dems have been coordinating with Trump & Co to get his agenda passed. Even if Republicans ‘lose’ this time it’s all just a big scripted fantasy like Wrestlemania. We’ll still all lose either way as long as these two private organizations call all the shots.

Yeah we’d be in such a great place if we elected the people who just sided with Republicans against impeaching Trump. They really have our best interests at heart.

Like the 60+ separate votes/bills to remove the ACA when Republicans didn’t have the support and here we are a few years later with them running the entire government.
