I am once again asking you to rock the house senate down, Bernie.

The US is a Republic

In my opinion, if Newsom is anything worth his salt, he would invest public funds into tiny homes and basically guaranteed jobs for the homeless, rather than being cool with things like:

• living in the BART facilities
• living in tents on the street
• being rounded up into random buildings/facilities because Xi is coming
• $20 minimum wage for everyone but Panera Bread since the CEO is my friend

Newsom, literally with the stoke of a pen, could invest public funds into helping the homeless in a provable way, yet he does not. The only conclusion I can come to is that he does not want to.

Please, convince me otherwise, but the state of, at least, SF under Newsom (and big tech, admittedly) has greatly deteriorated

sparked a national conversation [sparked] around gun violence as well as “stand your ground” and “castle doctrine,” both self-defense laws."

this. This, is the headline.

The whole “black man killed by white man” is just race baity.

You’re hired

Even worse!!! Why log in, ESPECIALLY if using a VPN, lol. Defeats the purpose of using a VPN by being like “hey reddit this is still me, just using a new IP”

Feel free to explain why Newsom has been campaigning on solving homelessness in California for ~10 years but only made progress when Xi Jinping visited recently, and also why he hadn’t taken the exact same actions sooner. It’s the same reason, after all.

That is a really cool resume item, ngl

Do you mind me asking the languages/frameworks backing it? (e.g. JavaScript/Node)

With the new bullshit ruling by SCOTUS

FTFY

… um… science

The best kind of science

also, why are you logging in to conduct your research? Log in is not required

Care to explain? As far as I’m aware there are only benefits for hybrid/electric vehicles (in the US at least)

I feel this same way about most the Disney live action remakes. I thought they were enjoyable blasts from the past (for me) but the internet and critics absolutely hated them which was puzzling. I guess I also have felt the same way about remakes where the actor is a different race than the original lore… Who cares?

“Oh noes, Snow White is no longer a ‘damsel in distress’ being kissed by a random dude while she is… checks notes… Unconscious??? AND the actress is Hispanic??? This ruins my life” - literally conservatives so much so that Disney cancelled it.

Some people’s kids smhmh

Describing someone using their race isn’t racism

Making the story about race rather than “this old man shot this young man for seemingly no reason, old man bad” is, in fact, race baiting

If Newsom wanted to he could probably solve the crisis over night, just like he did when Xi Jinping visited.

In Utah they have been constructing “tiny homes” instead of more “shelters”. I think it’s a pretty good idea and, if I remember correctly, the only requirements to qualify are have the need and be drug free. Seems like a much better solution than shared spaces which often turn out to be quite dangerous for many reasons.

Been doing it for ~5 years with 0 scratches… If you have an iPhone maybe they are too delicate, but I also feel like iPhones (in the US at least) don’t have SIM cards since Apple has that G.I. Joe - Kung-Fu grip

If a man ~50 years younger than me that I don’t recognize/know knocks on my door at night, regardless of his race, I would be concerned. Would I just shoot him? No. Would an 80 year old man just shoot him? apparently, I guess… But equating it to racism, without any evidence, is simple race baiting…

The old man is clearly in the wrong, that doesn’t mean he is racist just because the kid was black

Welcome to Lemmy 😂

no green spaces

Did you look at the picture or read the post?

There is literally green space taking up ~70% of the promenade pictured and OP says botanical garden on the roof…

It’s not a forest, but it’s also not simply concrete

LPT: if you have a case on your phone, put it inside the case (between the case and phone) and you’ll always have it when you need it

I’ll probably be in the minority, since this is Lemmy after all, but how is this “news”?

This is basically: reporter I hate said something I hate.

Is this Jesse’s regular MO? Yes.

Is Jesse garbage? Yes.

Is this news? No.

The law being challenged for those interested (commonly known as “stand your ground” law)

21-5222. Same; defense of a person; no duty to retreat. (a) A person is justified in the use of force against another when and to the extent it appears to such person and such person reasonably believes that such use of force is necessary to defend such person or a third person against such other’s imminent use of unlawful force. (b) A person is justified in the use of deadly force under circumstances described in subsection (a) if such person reasonably believes that such use of deadly force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to such person or a third person. © Nothing in this section shall require a person to retreat if such person is using force to protect such person or a third person.

I personally think it is pretty obvious that there was not “reasonable” cause to shoot someone simply since they rang your doorbell, but now it is up to a jury.

I also doubt this would be in the headlines if it was white man shooting white man or black man shooting black man. This really just seems like race baiting which isn’t surprising in an election year I guess, moreso it’s disappointing.
