A) That’s homeless people everywhere, you’re not special

B) This isn’t a good start. It’s merely punishing the most vulnerable people so fucknuts like you can feel better about their overpriced techcloset without having to do anything real about a problem.

Remember when this blog was about technology, and not about political rants? Feeling kind of nostalgic. Does engadget still exist?

Making the city less attractive doesn’t solve the problem it just shuffles it. If you want to solve the problem you need to tax people to create better mental health services and more housing for the homeless but no one wants to do that either. They just want to make the problem someone else’s problem.

So make it someone else’s problem. Great plan.

I take it you are not familiar with the San Francisco housing market. Houses like those tiny houses are what upper middle class people try to live in San Francisco. An 800 sq/ft place like those in Amarillo would be close to a $1 million dollars. San Franciso is also ground zero for NIMBYism. There is no way anyone…

I don’t think that’s a fair metaphor. We all know who Hillary Clinton is.

Maybe it was more structurally sound than they thought?

Yes, it may be true that there are no “bombshells” in any of these hacked DNC / Clinton emails, but I’m still amazed at how uncritically what is in them is being reported (or not reported).

I have never had a phone battery swell in my entire life. And that’s after owning multiple flip phones, Treos, pocket Pcs, Android smartphones and iPhones.

The problem is you’re scolding a bunch of screech-voiced 14-y.o. zit farms who tug themselves to My Little Pony meeems and post pics of Hitler for “LuLz”. It’s virtually impossible to insult them beyond stating the truth.

The courts determined that Gawker was not just ‘mean’ but broke the law. You conveniently forgot that part.

It would be more accurate to say that Peter Thiel is starting his war on journalists, because you’d be hard-pressed to correctly identify anyone from the assorted collection of hacks that the former Gawker Media enabled as an actual journalist.

“by claiming the company routinely published “thinly sourced, nasty articles that attacked and mocked people.””

“War on Journalists”?

HA! I thought I was only one that did that.

When I see mushrooms on my lawn, I like to pretend that the ants are having a nuclear war.

I’m proud to admit that I have this poster hanging on my wall, because I am a nerd.

Really depends on the environment, sounds like some kind of mummification happened based on the description, dried flowers can last quite long* so it isn’t that unbelievable.
