  • Throwing out a lot of bad, unfounded assumptions there, boss.

    Housing first programs have repeatedly shown to be the most effective way to …drumroll fucking please, house people!

    Most people who become homeless, do so not by bad choices but because they get fucked. Fired at the wrong time. Arrested by overzealous cops who beat the shit out of the first guy that looked like an easy target. Screwed out of rent by roommates ditching with no notice. And so on.

    And yeah, a lot turn to drugs and alcohol, because being homeless fucking sucks! Go figure! Enforcing people into a housing program who’re gonna get the shakes on the second night is a non fucking starter.

    The vast, vast, vast, majority of people Will and Do work to better themselves, given a chance to do so.

    Look at every single time a UBI has been trialed anywhere.

    Utah, conservative, judgmental, hellhole it is, implemented a housing first program, because it’s more effective.

    Don’t be a nimby piece of fucking shit, you’re closer to being homeless than you think









  • Three star michelin place. bottomless dom with the appetizer.

    Which, is not actually really any better than bottom shelf andre brut or cooks and such. Any good wine should be less than $20 a bottle, with exceptions that were brought out for each other course. The name, price, and dick waggling that comes with it is the point. So if you never get the illustrious Dom Perignon, don’t fucking worry, just make sure your shit’s chilled all the way through before you get to the function.

    Never knew raw oysters could actually be good. The presentation and explanation of each dish and subsequent wine pairing was great. Fabulous time, worth it. I think it was something like $700, all told? Bucket list of my partner’s, so double points.

    SOMETHING ELSE that’s super fucking worth it: Taking a cross-country trip on the Amtrak in a sleeper car. It’s first class, super bicycle friendly, and included in the ticket price is three full meals a day, with a boozy drink at dinner. Last I checked, it’s over a grand from boston to the west coast, but it’s like living in steamer trunk for a few days and is just super fucking rad
