How do you interact with the homeless?

Ignore.

I will admit I've had Patrick Bateman-like thoughts towards them occasionally.

I ignore them. Our social-net is so strong that someone who lives on the streets here made the decision to do so. (Germany) Beside there are not so much homeless here.

This is not the USA where a bad decision or bad luck leads to losing a roof over the head.

There are no reason to be homeless in Sweden. I pay my taxes and there are systems in place if i give them money they will just buy druggs.

Sure, Jan

Crime and burglary is all out of control, and the city’s answer was to build dozens of low income housing structures and soup kitchens next to multi million dollar places. And no one seems to care in fact they built a metro so all the homeless can come straight from downtown LA to Santa Monica with ease.

 

[VomKriege]

I'm as cowardly as the next guy when it comes to the plight of homeless people, but it's no less bitterly funny to read that Era thread. Would deffo clock a Nazi in the mouth and take to the streets in name of progressivism, believe it, but ashamed by and apathetic to the most mundane sign of inequality and poverty. If not entirely adopting the commonest clichés about proles.

[VomKriege]

Hey Vom Kriege, why does France have higher rates of homelessness than the United States despite being a robust socialist state?

Are we a socialist state now ?
If you're referring to the UN ratio I am looking on Wiki, differences between the USA and France is minute, especially considering how numbers vary wildly from one country to another. (France has almost thrice the ratio of Italy, Germany has twice the ratio of France...).

Anyway I wouldn't know how to explain those differences. However please note I'm not arguing that glorious Yurop and its somewhat social democracy has solved this issue any better. Quite the contrary. Plenty of homeless and panhandlers here, and in all the major European cities I visited.

[VomKriege]

As an aside, France is not so much "socialist" than statist. You can argue the latter will somewhat overlap the first as far as to what policies they will enact in some fields but it's not exactly the same. I suspect it is a source of confusion for some foreigners.

I think it's because you have many French immigrants, large parts of north africa is french (of course my spit balling fails the german test)

Speaking of, has there been a Roma thread on Reset yet? 

[HardcoreRetro]

Take your stick and try it out and lemme know how it is, breh. Please.

I did and it was fine.

But who's gonna clean this mess?

[VomKriege]

I wouldn't be so sure. My account is purely anecdote but beggars in Paris do not seem to be distinctly North African (as far as you can assess those things). The only group featuring prominently is what most would identify as "Roma" (Gipsy, Tzigan, etc...) EDIT : And people claiming to be Syrians lately. However, according to the French Statistical Office, you're certainly more likely to be homeless if you're an immigrant (half of the adults counted as homeless were foreign. On top of that, asylum seekers are considered as such when housed in a transit public center).

Out of curiosity I checked and the most common nationalities for asylum seekers in France currently (2015, 2016) are : Sudan, Syria, Kosovo, Albania, China, Bangladesh, Haitï, Congo (Democratic Republic), Guinea, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Irak. Algeria was 9th in 2016.

[jorma]

I just noted that Spain has nearly the same number of homeless as Sweden despite a worse economy and generally being a better country to be homeless in.
Add that quite a few of the homeless in Spain are from Sweden to begin with

I think that perhaps there is a bigger correlation between national drug policy and homelessness than social safety net and homelessness. Sweden is probably one of the worst countries in the world to be addicted to heroin in. You get in a program sure - but fall of the wagon just once and you are back on the streets no questions asked. I think that Spain and Portugal are much more progressive in that regard.

Seems like a lot of words for coming up with a pseudo-scientific way to call people "assholes".

- "That's totally my ex !"
- "Wow, same for me !"
- "We're on to something here because mine too..."
- "Also reminds me of those Youtubers."

Heh I just got done listening to Giant Bomb's GOTY where folks were trying to argue for Cuphead and Dream Daddy being top 3 material

Yea, reset is getting close to the point where liking things like CAH or South Park is virtually bannable or at least results into any topic getting derailed into how it's biggotted, like GAF in the final 2 years.

It’s Neoneogaf. Same shitheads, new coat of paint.

Yeah, why would anyone want to visit a place that is both bleeding edge high tech and futuristic while also ancient and completely different from America and Europe 20 minutes away from big cities? A place that gives the world Samurais, Godzilla, and Metal Gear.

I said it promotes objectification. Why not talk about The Honest Company instead of posting a half-nude picture of her? Lust after her because of her kindness and intelligence instead of her looks.

Oh man, there's gonna be so much egg in resetera mods faces when Cream finally can't keep up his act any longer and decides to out himself as a troll.

But i really don't understand how they fall for it when it's so blatant.

no there's nothing new, i'm just catching up

I've not once seen any indication Cream is trolling? They seem genuine. A little passionate to be sure, but genuine.

the fact they take every one of their avatars from hentai doesnt seem like an indication they might not really be truly ULTRA MAXIMUM WOKE and actually just a troll seeing how much they can get away with? lol

What are they going to change exactly? Suicide forest is well known. TBH, the fact he went there for views and clicks is fucked up. From the stories I've read, that place is a death trap even if you're not suicidal. Did he bring like a large crew with him?

[Leadbelly]

That Logan Paul thread, man.

"WE HAVE TO STOP THIS GUY!"

"SERIOUSLY! HERE IS A LINK TO HIS TWITTER AND HIS DAD'S TWITTER AND WHERE YOU CAN BUY HIS MERCH."

Its like being infuriated matters more than pushing for any change whatsoever.

Well, I think you'll find that the most vocal of them it probably isn't about change it is about therapy. At some point you read something about their lives, and you begin to understand why they are the way they are.

One example would be 'messofanego'. I remember reading on GAF that he was abused as a child.

Doesn't really matter. It's suicide forest. Not suicide "there's bodies past this certain perimeter" forest. Most ppl who come there are there for to get the job done.

Ah. So they probably hit their quota, which find was a dead body. Fucking scum. Using peoples suffering for your entertainment. Who actually learns about the Suicide Forest and thinks,"this would be a good place to go to with my friends!"?

[VomKriege]

I mean yeah, it was ghoulish and fucked up. Logan Paul is a nasty piece of work through and through and probably the real life embodiment of the fears of many past generations about where photography and television would be taking us.  But it's not like fascination for the morbid and graphic depictions of dead people and killings was exactly a new thing either, especially on the Internet. Paul is just bringing that whole entertainment edge to it. This is the price to pay for a commercial platform open to everyone and mostly everything (except sex and copyright violations). I don't think backpedaling to the pre-internet model is possible (nor that it was flawless) and I don't know how we could go forward in a positive direction from there.

The guy has a history of shit like this. Didn't he hide thousands of dollars somewhere and had a bunch of people fighting each other to find it?

IIRC during VidCon or YoutubeCon or WhateverCon he was attending. Though I'm not clear on who's who between the two brothers. They're also doing reckless shit in their backyard (setting fire with flames going several meters up in an empty pool), making their whole neighborhood miserable, made a video saying their car accident was provoked by one of said neighbors SABOTAGING THEIR WHEELS, and often will make no effort to respect any common sense guidelines (for instance, documenting on video the home adresses and car plates of several people without any blurring of framing).

[Great Rumbler]

Edit: Never mind. I thought Jake Paul and Logan Paul were the same person. In my defense, though, they do look almost exactly alike and are similarly awful.

Edit 2: Oh, they're actually BROTHERS. What a terrible family.

[Leadbelly]

That's an interesting take. But it doesn't replace, you know, therapy. The internet is such a wonderful thing but its really unraveling the fabric of society as we know it. Hopefully, for something better. But god damn, its driving people nuts.
Well, I think you'll find that the most vocal of them it probably isn't about change it is about therapy. At some point you read something about their lives, and you begin to understand why they are the way they are.

That's the problem. Things like safe spaces, for example, are the exact opposite of what a professional therapist would do. They would actually expose them to the things that cause them anxiety in a controlled manner. It seems social justice these days is all about shielding people from everything.

He has some opinions that go against their particular social justice orthodoxy. Everything that falls outside the social justice orthodoxy is typically what they call 'alt-right'.

Of course with Boogie, there are so many things about him that doesn't really fit the 'alt-right' mantle that they tend to say he is playing 'both sides'. He says certain things because he doesn't want to upset his nazi following. As if like Boogie has absolutely no moral compass whatsoever that he is perfectly fine pandering to nazis. In fact what it really speaks to is how little of a moral compass these people have. They are perfectly fine spouting this kind of conspiritorial bullshit that robs people like boogie of any type of humanity.
