    Maybe we should put them in houses, then, so they aren't homeless.

      Probably following the same line of brainworms thinking that lead that "maga communist" dork to claim that homeless people are the modern equivalent as the landlord class in revolutionary China

    Okay hear me out but I think that Elon Musk needs to be allowed to operate until he does create the Torment Nexus, because until we have a Torment Nexus I don't know how we can properly deal with him.

        Using the power of machine learning and advanced LIDAR sensors, we have developed an escalator that will keep the subject tumbling indefinitely

    Oh god, at first glance it appears he's so close to realizing that yes, with every cent of increased funding it gets, the DEA directly makes drug addiction both more prevalent and deadly by artificially driving unregulated black market demand for insanely potent, synthetic mu-opioid agonists. Some of the newer RC opioids aren't even based on the structure of fentanyl anymore. When this happens, the drug grey market literally outpaces legislation until the DEA catches wind of things and schedules a defining member of the class.

    Of course, this hypocritical piece of shit is actually talking about increased funding for aid directly to the homeless. doomjak

    So why did he get mad at the phrase "defund the police?"

    Serious question - who is Clay Shirky? Some "philosopher" type funded by a billionaire?

    I tried to read his Wikipedia page but the text sounds like a moronic redditor trying very hard and failing to be clever...

    Shirky asserts that collaborative crowdsourced work results from "a successful fusion of a plausible promise, an effective tool, and an acceptable bargain with the users." He states that the promise of what the user will get out of participating in a project leads to a person's desire to get involved.

    Collaborators will then choose the best social networking tool to do the job. One that "must be designed to fit the job being done, and it must help people do something they actually want to do." The bargain, Shirky states, defines what collaborators expect from each other's participation in the project. Shirky's 'Promise, Tool, Bargain' premise restates aspects of the Uses and Gratifications Theory of mass media research.

        I wonder if the page is TV Tropes-like death-by-hyperlink nonsense. "Uses and Gratifications Theory" is a 3,000 word Wikipedia page and I don't understand the point of the "theory"...

        Uses and gratifications theory is a communication theory that describes the reasons and means by which people seek out media to meet specific needs.

    Why did he put homeless in scare quotes? Is there some kind of chud conspiracy that homeless people are actually just crisis actors?

        There's also an ancient chud meme that still goes around that panhandling is more profitable than most jobs.

        To be fair this one does seem like a goal for capitalists.

        Welcome back by the way.

        The thing that shuts them up (at least in my experience) is to tell them to just quit their job and become homeless right now if it is so lucrative, they hem and haw about it and make a million excuses, but oddly never agree to do it, despite it apparently being a quick, easy path to success.
