      Don’t be late on your mortgage, tuition for any children, and taxes.

      And if you keep your phone longer than 6 months you’re a loser.

      Not only you but the rest of the population as well. And really, if we all cooperated together on this, these issues could be solved easily in a few years, if not months.

        If we really cooperated and agreed on the goals (that’s the hard one) we could fucking rebuild our society into a just and benevolent one practically overnight. I don’t want to go through eugenics wars to get there or whatever other horror science fiction says we need in order to do what we can intellectually conceptualize. The short version of that is “it works cause everyone who didn’t get it is dead!” and that’s one hell of a failure

          I work with the city housing advocacy board as a navigator who helps get people housing vouchers. Though I was mostly leaning into the doom posting, not really asking a question.

          “3 homeless shelters”

          that could be a tent you put up every summer at camp. We now need a more definitive definition of “homeless shelter” and “genocide”.

            You got me, they’re actually a set of goalposts with a sheet over them - but it appears someone moved them.

              Why are you bothered by my post, and why don’t you use the word “poseur” instead? “Poser” is a poser term

              You shouldn’t let responses bother you, it’s kinda sad

        Its because, much like the real police, they aren’t doing beneficial constructive things. If, they for example stepped in to stop what russia is doing to Ukraine most people would be happy, if they stepped in to stop what israel is doing, most people would be happy, if they stepped in to stop what is happening in Sudan most people would be happy instead they bombed children in Tehran.

          Even if most real people would be happy, you can bet Israel, Russia, and the RSF + allies would astroturf the hell out of a “How dare America, evil world police, expansionist imperialism” campaign. And, just like how much of America is stupid, many people globally will believe it. It has happened before.

      A genocide anywhere is a huge problem. The US is playing a major role in the genocide in Palestine, so yes it makes sense that Americans are more concerned about that one than the one in Sudan.
