  • I have bit of a nuanced take on the subject (ie: I'm going to get downvoted into oblivion.)

    So here goes. To me Homelessness isn't the problem. Rampant drug addiction and mental illness are. For the mental illness part, we need comprehensive and affordable mental health care for everyone. That's not going to happen in my lifetime though.

    The drug addiction however...

    Places like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Vancouver (where I'm from) have followed the decriminalization theory of drug rehabilitation. This posits that by providing clean drug paraphernalia and safe places to use drugs, will help people to overcome addiction. But the current state of these cities prove that this theory is false. In order to make someone change, they have to want to change. When you make drug use easier, there is less incentive for that person to want to get clean. Homelessness and the accompanying problems are to most of them just the "cost of doing business."

    Their lives should be made more difficult as to incentivize them to want to change their ways. Of course there should be certain exceptions, such as when it's too hot or cold out. But we have to somehow give them a reason to change their ways.

    At least where I live there are systems in place to help you get off the street. I would know as I was homeless for a year living on the street. But when COVID hit, I finally had enough and decided to get help. I went to a shelter, got signed up for disability and through BC housing I got myself a room in a shared complex. I'm proof that when you really try, there is help out there for you to make your life better.

    Now bring on the downvotes.

  • Because nobody wants them. Or rather not enough people want them. Hell, kids these days don't even want to get their drivers licenses. For them Uber is good enough.

  • Personally, I think he's tired of Tenacious D and this was a good way to kill it. Plus he has more money to lose than Kyle. And I'm sure there was some concern about a concert getting shot up, but I'm sure it was a distant third.

  • Ads suck, but the type of ad is what is sucking the most. All I'm getting are ads for get rich quick schemes. You never see big name brands advertise on youtube anymore.

  • Does anyone know where I can buy Silverfish style Batteries in Canada?

    Jump

  • Sadly, I've only ridden it quickly once. I got sick for a month. Then once that went away, I fell down a flight of stairs and broke my wrist. The doctor says I'll be able to use my hand again by the 17th of this month. Then I'm gonna hit the open road. I just want an extra battery to stave off any range anxiety I may have.

    I attempted to buy the battery from them online, but when I do so, it says it won't ship up to Canada. I have sent an email asking where/how I can purchase an extra battery, I'm just waiting for a response.

    But if someone else knows where I can get another battery in Canada, I'll take it.
