Loud street beggars - never. They are usually members (or victims) of criminal organizations. Even if they are forced to do it, giving them anything only makes the business profitable for their bosses.

Poor people you know otherwise. Like for example a homeless person in your neighborhood who doesn’t usually ask for anything. Help them if you can, especially with non-monetary support. Food, clothes you don’t need, personal hygiene supplies, etc…

For all native English speakers, this is how the rest of us feel about any words in English

I mean it depends which ones are you watching.

True crime series usually deal with crimes where the perpetrator is undeniably guilty, and typically of very heinous crimes. It shows cases where the police is correctly doing what should be their job.

If there are any videos that show “we assaulted a random person on the street” type of police work in a positive way, I haven’t seen it yet.

At some point airlines stopped doing the hub-and-spoke model where all flight come into one big airport and then passengers change flights onward to their destination. Now they favor the point-to-point model, which as the name suggests means every destination pair is served by an individual flight.

As to why. It’s probably financial but it don’t know for sure really.

American issue is that they package many independent opinions into just 2 political “labels”. And then you get seemingly schizophrenic results like this.

Not just an American issue though, it’s happening elsewhere too, but maybe less extreme.

Sentencing to long prison sentences should be avoided. There should be two general categories:

• danger to others
• not danger to others

In the danger case the sentenced should be kept imprisoned until proven safe, otherwise only a light deterrent is needed.

There isn’t much difference in the deterrence between 1 year and 10 years for most people. The really violent crimes are committed either without regard for oneself, or as a part of organization that already has a support system inside the prison.

Structured way of spending a lot of time in the same environment with other people with similar goals. “Go out on your own and make friends” doesn’t work for many of us, additional free time will not help.
There’s a good reason most people make long-term friendships in school and university, we need a similar space where we are surrounded by the same people every day (even though we may not like all of them). I have no idea what could it be since our society frowns upon such ideas.

Before Covid the office kinda took this role, however it was a gamble and not voluntary.

All of them 1!1!1! It’s all connected.
After you put your container in the flatpack it will fork itself into an nginx distro.

This is called a cooperative

Except not just control but ownership too, there is no division between owner and employee.

And yes I agree with you, it would be a good idea. The economic system I advocate for the most is cooperatives in a free market.

There are even more versions:

Colombia

Colón
Colombo
Columbus
Colomb
Colom

Places were usually named by settlers according to the rules of their own language. Columbus is the Latin variant, Colón is Spanish, Colombo Italian.

Back in 15th-16th century translating personal names was common. The practice is still continues with monarchs today, see popes - John Paul ll was also Iohannes Paulus, Juan Pablo, Ivan Pavao …

I guess when buying 11000 rats you are somewhat constrained in your choice of color. It’s not like you can order them made in a custom color.

Especially now when so many NK weapons and soldiers are going into Russia, and all the way through Russia into Ukraine, another truck wouldn’t attract too much attention.

The question is would they want to?

I don’t have a problem with Mondays. Every day is dreadful and my life sucks. Monday is no different.

Anecdotal evidence but on my limited sample of male and female friends and acquaintances whose homes I visited, it doesn’t matter. People range from obsessively clean to very messy, but I didn’t notice a correlation.

But read, learn, understand what?

Why they feel the need to be separate. What exactly are they afraid of. You’re focusing too much on being “technically correct”. Human emotions don’t work like that.

Humans work generally like this:

• we have a bad experience
• we try to avoid bad experience repeating

Sometimes it leads into coping mechanisms like needing a safe space. Trying to break down that barrier by force will not work, it will only make it stronger. You can hope to be invited in, but that requires understanding.

I feel like a Cassandra since I was warning about this for years now.

The gender equality narrative got too focused on excluding men specifically, instead of including the less represented gender in each profession. Somehow the idea was that men are privileged in the system and women oppressed, while the truth is that both men and women are oppressed.

Divide and conquer was a small step away from that point.

Let me try to phrase my opinion:

It’s unfortunate that gender-exclusive communities exist, but it’s a consequence of deeper societal issues.

Forcing the issue on social networks like Lemmy will actually make it worse, because those groups will feel in danger and want to separate even further.

Being able to access the community in read-only mode is a very good thing, because you’ll be able to gain insight into why they feel the need for a separate space. Read, learn and understand, even if you disagree.

The legitimacy of exclusive spaces aside, how did they know you were not a woman?

My apartment. I don’t like it very much but it was built in 1928. So “enjoy” is a stretch but I use it daily.
