Every two years the City of San Francisco conducts a HUD-mandated census of the homeless population. The Point in Time Count methodology has improved over the years and includes a visual assessment of people living unsheltered in San Francisco, a census of all shelter and transitional housing programs, and a survey of people experiencing homelessness. We combine these sources to produce the Point in Time Count Reports.

It's too bad that if Pelosi said "Okay, let's spend 355 million dollars to feed, clothe and house every homeless person in San Franscisco" they would scream bloody murder about socialism and free stuff and ARE TAXES.

But Democrats are responsible for neither of those? Nor for the metal detectors to enter Congress. Nor even for TSA?

Let me guess, they think a democrat was responsible for "Caution, contents may be hot". How about, "Caution, voting republican will result in forced births followed by child death due to lack of care for citizens ".

I swear to god if WW2 happened today we'd loving lose because nobody would want to lose their freedoms by even making small sacrifices for the greater good.

Having to wear a mask and standing 6 feet apart is soooo much harder than rationing gas to 2 gallons a week.


"Tyranny", I say but also "support the troops!" and claiming to be a patriot.

The covid 19 death toll all but matches the number of Americans killed in World War II, Korea and Vietnam combined.

that was a very, very common justification for segregation and it's not surprising that some galaxy brain mfers think they've hit on a brilliant insight that isn't just bog standard old fashioned racist horseshit

And the consistent pattern I've seen in both is that no large scale effort seems to be put into asking the kids themselves how they feel about these issues. Have there been any polls in this regard? If chuds are so sure they are right then the kids would back them up about it. They'd be blowing up tiktok about it and so on.

When you point out the death toll they'll flat out deny it. They'll just claim the deaths were inflated. When you compare the total number of Americans that died from one year to another they'll just chalk it up to fraud.

The "guy who died of a motorcycle accident but doctor wrote 'Covid' on the death certificate" anecdote gets brought up a lot.

I gotta wonder how lovely of a person you gotta be to get banned on Facebook considering what they let people get away with in terms of lousy moderation. I know a lot of leftists here have anecdotes about getting banned for things as benign as "stop calling that woman a dyke" in response to some bigot but in spite of being insufferably argumentative on that platform I haven't even had so much as a timeout (not trying to dismiss the claims of others, if anything just miffled at how inconsistent they are about banning people).

Facebook is a god damned garbage fire of "disclurse" and quitting on it drastically improved my life and overall mental health. Really sucks not knowing what people who I knew 20 years ago are eating for dinner and what concert they went to but my loss I suppose.

This about as clear, concise and straight forward as anything that has been written to describe the aftermath of the "nonsense" referred to as an "election" in November, 2020 and in earlier recent times. As the old saying goes "GOD IS WATCHING"...most likely in total disgust. I can't imagine what the folks described in the Bible must have done to cause he great flood, had their cities destroyed by fire, etc. by THE ALMIGHTY. We must be getting close.


Dave Ramsey hit the nail right on the head! Very well said!
“This morning, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, lives are never going to be the same.
I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.

You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind.
We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.
Somehow, it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
Universities that advocate equality, discriminate against Asian-Americans in favor of African-Americans.
Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.



Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.
People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
After legislating gender, if a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquiries about it.
People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcomed.



$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
And, pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"!



Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it is racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.



We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.



Wake up America. The great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water and sinking fast.

One annoying thing is that the worst people tend to have a lot of experience with getting blocked and banned, so they talk to each other about the things that Facebook is sensitive to about. This allows them to avoid key terms, and also know exactly what they can report and get results from.

It turns out that "ignorant" is a trigger word, so be careful when using it.

Context: one of the Capitol rioters claimed to be a libertarian and all the libertarians were arguing that she isn't a real libertarian. I took the counter position and claimed that she was the REAL libertarian and that they need to study more, along with some other posts teasing them for making such an obvious No True Scottsman argument.

You know that one of the reasons trans kids commit suicide is bullying from peers, right?

Panfilo posted:

This is interesting. Does brigading factor into this? What other key words do they avoid to not get banned? I've reported a lot of shitposters over there but the only pattern I've seen is people issuing direct threats. Other than that it felt like a total crapshoot whether a report would stick or not.

I'm aware. But I am interested in polls that reflect these sentiments; I'd have assumed younger people are more accepting now than older people or younger people in the past. How much have trans youth suicides changed over the decades? Has it gone up? Down?
