I think homelessness and despair cause mental illness and substance abuse. If we can prevent “normal” people from losing their homes, I think they would be more stable and able to take care of themselves long term.
Allowing homelessness is far more costly to everyone else than preventing it.
Setting aside the topic of generative AI, isn’t it about time that Pokemon goes to the public domain?
It’s been a long time since I read Lawrence Lessig, but I think we would undo Disney’s mods to copyright laws and allow more cultural remixing after a reasonable time. Like maybe 20 years instead of a century?
I enjoyed the humor, but the OP did set a boundary of [serious].
So I guess what we are learning here is that setting boundaries is always going to provoke some people to break those boundaries out of spite.
The conviction was about a year after the crimes, which is a lot faster than I would expect than in my country. 5.5 years does seem light to me, too.
The rhetoric is still somewhat apologetic to the perpetrators. Like “it’s difficult for students to resist due to a sense of closeness to their teachers” doesn’t say anything about rank, authority, and power that teachers have over students. And “checking whether a teacher is under excessive pressure” seems to redirect fault away from the perpetrator.
I wondered if the weapon was a Taser or cattle prod… But it says “deadly weapon” so maybe it was some kind of custom supervillain lighting gun.⚡
Thanks for this fun thread. I think “nasal gazing” would be a good candidate for a list of eggcorns.
There seems to be precedent on Twitter 2019, but I refuse to add the link here.
One thing that would help this whole situation is not living in sprawling suburbs and exurbs that require maintaining so many more miles of pipes per person.

A lot of Brazil is in the tropics, so no, not winter kinda latitudes.
But Brazil also extends to something like 33° South, where winter starts in June.
Someone should look at how much porn downloading and streaming bumps up when government employees are furloughed and have idle hands.
Maybe the evangelicals can be swayed to avoid a government shutdown with that kind of consequence.
Off the ravine or into it?
We've been in the ravine for a while I guess.
I guess for each rep it comes down to whether they think the folks in their district will be upset more because they let the government grind to a halt or they colluded with Democrats.
I'm worried that in many districts, voters are so polarized that they would see working across the aisle as heresy. It's the same reason Jordan got 190ish votes publicly, but only 86 in a secret ballot.
Someone here is seeing this xkcd for the first time just now…
Sorry, I tried! It took me several tries to find a way to download the vid, and when I tried posting I saw this:
We are working on resolving the issues
Over the next few days, there will be a change in server infrastructure. Temporary problems with the website's functionality may occur during this time.
I think also bans “coal-rolling” … If that wasn’t already illegal.
