I wonder if building second stairwells in multifamily buildings is really a cost effective way of mitigating stalking.

I think perhaps that because solutions have become so partisanly labled, we continue to fail on this. People in this thread are merely asking for common sense policies that exist i…

What about the obvious punishment: Taking their drugs away. Doing so improves the addicts life in the medium-long term, and provides an immediate consequence. Its something that ma…

Maybe if they werent constantly cycling through erratic meth benders and on a constant search to steal enough to afford their next high, they might have a better chance at affordin…

I know this sounds absurd, but I don't think social studies on such politically hot issues can be trusted outright. Given the state of university social science departments, can yo…

Heroic. I try to do this too but everyone I know thinks I'm being neurotic when I explain it to them. I still see so many people accelerating into stoplights/brake scenarios.

I think an underappreciated hurdle is how silly headsets look. I don't want to embody/identify as someone with a computer strapped over my eyes like a blindfold. It's a bad, even d…

No reason why mental institutions cant be compassionate and devote time and effort to individuals. Much better than letting these people live in their own excrement in the subway.

These self reported studies are not good measures. They need to find out where these people were last employed or attending school.

Availability is more than just price. In the deep south its more difficult to buy/sell and use these drugs in public than it is in portland.

I think if you look at areas that try to restrict the supply of these dangerous drug options you will find that that they are less available and expensive. When you look at areas l…

I agree with the sentiment and think that legalizing drugs like psilocybin is a positive step. But I have learned from seeing the consequences of drugs like fentanyl and meth that …

Seattle lost the supersonics because it didnt cave to this backwards farce. Unfortunately the city is worse for it

Your comment may be correct when talking about the visible homeless. Yes there is a new class of lawless junkies damaging the urban fabric of the west coast. But there are many mor…

Yes but they dont allow open drug scenes. And they dont allow the rampant theft and dysfunction that comes with those encampments

I think hiring Bryan Cogman is a red flag.

Our elected City Council does not make crime a priority. It also continues to be popular to recast the realities of unchecked drug abuse and crime, as housing affordability issues.…

Do you have any sources for this claim? Also, I think this topic can be discussed more civilly without suggesting genocide as a solution.

Poker Very complex, social, and the buy in makes it so players care.

In my book the only thing a better sql needs is to start selects with the from clause. -‘from orders select orderid’ Which would make for better autocomplete among other things.

Its really impressive the consistent level headed quality that Sean Carrol produces. He might be less popular because of it, but he’s not yet peddled controversy as content. Which …

The Weinsteins started out as experts at speaking a lot of words, while saying very little. But after testing the culture war waters, have committed fully to anti-vax grifting. Id …

Or a more extreme example: If you stretched the pancake to just the width of Everest clearly Everest would be less flat.
