Also there is a cheap quick fix, because there is adequate empty housing. Landlords just refuse to rent it. The people just need to confiscate unused housing after x (x being an appropriate number for the area) days not being a primary residence.

Not the government. The people. And if the resident leaves/dies, that housing goes to someone new. The landlord never gets it back. That's important; they need to be afraid, but have an easy out (just put somebody in there, lower rent, etc)

A lot of us have been victims of the church(hi); its leaves a bloody trench in its wake.

or tried our hand at activism and been smacked down by religious groups for doing the shit they espouse on paper (not strongly me, in any way I care about) and are understandably bitter.

And it hits harder, because most people grew up hearing these are the paragons of moral virtue, and then then pull this shit.

Plus they won't shut up and get a ton of special treatment, but almost never use it for good (notice nobody's talking shit about Harriet Tubman, john brown, or the quakers. Diggers levellers anabaptists, too, not even the ULC or church of Satan).

They paint their own target.

The second shittiest roommate I ever had was a loud evangelical.

I was at the time actively the closest thing she would ever meet to a particular famous dude who died on the thing she worshipped, who she claimed to care about.

When she started fucking with my shit while I was out, I just made a bunch of copies of the house key and handed them out, so I'd have people to watch my door for me. Started cooking big dinners. She couldn't actually say anything.

The trick is; don't Fucking ask. Point out that sleeping in the park sucks and will get you killed by police, but meetings in the park are genuinely pleasant (unless climate change is real). They might shoot you, but they won't be able to argue.

They have a hard time "accepting help" because as often as not; it isn't really help.

Its libs jacking themselves off with the monkey paw; doing awful shit using nice words so they can feel good while being assholes.

Sure you get a room and three meals a day! No pets, must detox first, curfew but also you must have a job, and also dont mind the bars haha yes we do have to lock you in.

We are, but, like... Just preferring something else doesn't make vim unimpressive. Silver medal's still pretty fucking prestigious, you know?

Really the only way.

Won't tho.

Not a thing til the revolution, dear.

Not allowed. Work or die, im afraid.

I think that's a little low.

Missing the point.

AI won't so much replace labor as make it more fungible, and thus exploitable/abusable.

Except where its used as an excuse to just... Not. "Yes we have customer service; its just all chatgpt with no permissions" so nobody can ever return shit that was delivered broken.

Typing with a god damn remote. No thanks.

Or a phone app that's gonna break like two years after purchase and snitches on everything.
