  • Maybe in large encampments but from my daily experience of watching a never ending battle from the police and a homeless spot they typically don’t do that. They just tell them to leave, but they just come back eventually.

    Everyday I walk by a spot where homeless congregate. At the beginning of the week there a few rambling around. By EOW there are 30 just sleeping coming down from their high or smoking meth. The cops come, tell them to leave, then it starts all over again.

    They aren’t exactly bothering anybody other than the smell and that the city has to power wash the parking structure on a weekly basis because they all piss and shit in it.

    Look I care for these people, I’m not trying to sound all NIMBY here, but these are the type of people who don’t want help. They want to stay in their hole. The only assistance you can give these people other than abducting them and put them in a facility, is to tell them to leave and go to a shelter. Addiction is a mother fucker, and the only disease you can get yelled at for.




  • I agree. I typically skip sex scenes in movies. Those scenes very seldom add anything to the story imo.

    Unless it makes sense. In “What Women Want” with Mel Gibson, I believe that is a great example of a sex scene adding to the movie. The whole premise is him reading women’s minds, so him having sex with Marisa Tomei and hearing their thoughts while in the act added to the premise.

    So when I see a movie that is just like “hey these people are hot and we should film them go at it” is just boring imo.



  • Never said it didn’t, but reddit is more left leaning than right as a whole.

    Lemmy is just straight lefty though. I’m a liberal person so it doesn’t bother me other than it just being a massive circle jerk most of the time.

    Look I understood that when I made that comment no one would like it, but it’s just the truth…

    I’ve been here since the API garbage from reddit, and use it daily so I feel like I can make an honest assessment of my experience thus far.

    I like it, its great. Better than reddit in a lot of ways. If someone is/was a heavy Reddit user I recommend it.


  • Welcome to Lemmy! If you thought Reddit was left leaning, you’re in for a wild ride!

    Also if you’re an American you probably shouldn’t be, because they automatically assume you’re from the Bible belt. They will simultaneously say they don’t care for American politics but then will always be talking about it.

    Linux is the best OS just don’t get into it. You better be using firefox. All the niche subs you had on Reddit aren’t here, and you’ll more likely just be blocking communities instead of subbing to anything.

    And no one reads the articles, way more than reddit imo

    The comments are slightly more interesting though.

    It’s not all that bad though, I’m being a little sarcastic, but only a little…
