Cube!

Second.

That blue screen of death post which recently said that Windows users live in fear of losing everything was a perfect example. As is this bullshit shower thought.

I think that was a cat napping on a keyboard. rare coincidence that the keystrokes looked like english words.

Blogger is no longer supported and is suffering greatly people are leaving it in droves. You might as well call it dead

When Stir Crazy was filmed in 1980, the U.S. prison population was about 329,800 people, representing approximately 140 individuals per 100,000 residents, or roughly 0.14% of the population. By 2022, the prison population had risen to around 2 million , incarcerated in state and federal prisons and jails, making up 541 per 100,000 residents, or about 0.54% of the population.

Richard Pryor only saw the beginning of the crisis which is why he was able to joke about it.

I know he was locked up but again you're missing the point. knock it off. the point is the prison crisis is much greater today than it was in 1980.

I'm calling the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800.799.SAFE (7233) and they gave me some resources,

FindHelp.org and when you go there, put in your zip code, look for shelter, other services? access to housing, medical support

DomesticShelters.org put in zip code, in filters, click "services men" and look for your specific criteria

Let me know if you need any help with these, or planning, or anything?

Never call the police. They don't prevent crime, they show up afterwards to hurt the person who did it. NEVER call them.

NO I DON'T FUCK YOU DIE IN A FIRE

Our inability to compromise is deliberate.

We can't organize if we can't compromise.

We are supposed to hate our neighbors. That makes any kind of organizing impossible.

What is it?

I'm not saying separation dangerous people from society is a bad one.

I'm saying prison shouldn't be the default solution for every offense.

The USA has the highest number and percentage of incarcerated people anywhere in the world because everyone's kneejerk response is, "but we need it for dangerous murderers!" instead of "it's a human rights crisis that we're allowing to happen in our backyards and we're choosing to allow it to happen instead of doing the hard work of brainstorming and building an effective alternative".

True but not the cause of this massive change in real estate values.

didn't want to get side tracked by this one case

but getting hit with a bus was the ideas result for this guy lol

He's in prison. My comment was about prison. Media literacy matters.

No you did, and you're the one getting upset.

You should be. You're supporting slavery.

It's not too expensive.

The defense budget of the USA is 840 billion dollars. That's not too expensive.

The reason it's not being done is there's no money to be made.

Profit first, survival of the species second.

Cool so should the default solution for every fucking problem be the same solution we apply to a guy that cracked someone's skull open with a hammer?

I'm not saying this guy doesn't deserve to be punished. I'm saying prison shouldn't be the default solution for everything. People like you who defend the prison industrial complex are the reason it still exists. You are using your emotional reaction to one incident to justify a human rights crisis in your fucking backyard and it's lazy and pathetic. Be a better person.

correct but we use the "attempted murder solution" on everything, which is the problem.

Got it, thank you for clarifying.

It wasn't deliberate. I said, "the default setting should not be prison" and you replied "Yes, that is what the default should be." so I read it as contrary. So I appreciate your response

stop saying "prison should exist because of this one case"

there will always be extreme cases that need to be handled differently from the default setting. but the default setting should not be prison, it should be rehabilitation.

Default setting should be prison? For marijuana possession?

For fucking getting an abortion???

Prison should not be the default setting for anything my dude.

I don't need to offer an alternative.

It is enough to say "the current system doesn't work for me and I want change."

Prison is our fucking answer to everything. No house? Prison. Said something bad? Prison. Had a bad month and hit somebody? Prison. Prison. Prison.

We lean on it as a convenient one-stop solution when we could instead do work to rehabilitate people, fix the problem, or prevent the problem from happening. The reason our prisons are overflowing is because no one is stepping up and saying, "maybe prison shouldn't be our answer to every single societal problem."
