I tried searching for a post link in my instances search and nothing came up. I've had this issue with jerboa too, and I think in the browser, where I try to do [email protected] or whatever and it won't come up, it almost never works for me. but if I type the name of the instance simply, it will populate. I must be doin something funky

Ah I see, I didn't know that an update to a post needed to be made, that makes sense. The instance isn't blocked, but I'll try the post link suggestion and fiddle around to see if that can help populate everything. Thanks for your response!
As far as I can tell, you can through your mobile browser, and with the brand spanky new Liftoff app (android) but not through Jerboa, which sucks. I'm constantly cycling between the browser and jerboa depending on my needs. Searching for communities is waaaaay easier on mobile, but it's very clunky and you have to have multiple tabs open to make it easier to add multiple communities from one instance on your profile.
you so much! I was trying for hours to read it on mobile as I don't have a laptop and that worked lol.
Okay, so PSR is considered this "shiny object" by the public and garners so much more attention than the police bureau. MAYBE, just MAYBE that's because everyone and their mom knows how vile and corrupt the PPB is.
Also, addressing fucking homelessness, addiction and mental crises is INHERENTLY political, because in large part they are the result of political beliefs and decisions. Reminds me of devils advocate types who argue that if you're emotional about a topic, you can't be rational about it, which is complete bullshit. I hope PSR pulls through. When it comes to addressing homelessness, politicians always half bake their plans and only half heartedly invest in real, proven solutions. So then they aren't effective, and the public gets riled up and pissed off because they don't see immediate results and people loooove to hate the homeless. So then no one ever believes in initiatives like housing first.
According to this article, Karen Bass, who is the new mayor of LA, declared a state of emergency for LA and within six months has moved 14,000 unhoused folks off the streets. It is too early to tell if people will remain housed and that it will be successful, but it seems like she's making very bold moves and I wish Oregon would take a cue. We don't have the same money but we must be able to do more.
In April, she announced that $1.3 billion of her $13 billion proposed budget would go to addressing homelessness, including about $250 million for Inside Safe. Previously, the program had been leasing rooms around the city. Bass’ team has shifted the strategy to purchasing property and is looking to acquire at least eight motels or hotels.
“Community-based organizations have been stretched beyond what they’ve been asked to do,” Bass said. “When a person leaves a tent and goes into a hotel, on day one, they should have services, including a physical exam if they’re open to it, and meeting with a social worker.”
Bass said her executive directive to cut red tape had streamlined the processing of more than 8,000 units of new housing in 456 projects that are in the development pipeline. She said approvals are now being obtained in 37 days as opposed to six months.
Rad thank you! Does this work for other paywalls as well?
Edit: it's not working for this article :/ unless it's actually only 2 paragraphs long and I'm just driving myself crazy lol
Anyone able to get the full article from behind the paywall? I tried like 10 different ways to bypass it and failed
I think lemmy.ml was getting money from NLnet by completing Milestones, but now that they're scrambling to handle bugs and doing Q&A constantly I think they're losing out on that funding. At least that's what Dessalines reported, I believe
I was responding to the person who said the days of CIA coups and murder are "a thing of the past". I provided information proving that it isn't.
I would like to know how you define "the past". Because the CIA is still active, and I am hard presses to think that they are not involved in the same activities that they have been since their inception. My response was flippant, as any loss of a life is horrible, but the CIA has plenty of blood on its hands, and nefarious intent.
Declassified documnents reveal CIA has been sweeping up information on Americans
The CIA is responsible for numerous coups, torture, and murder of innocent people. So I say good for them
I have a fidget spinner ring that's kinda discreet so I can stim. Maybe you can get some loop earplugs to dampen the noise. I also used to bring this tincture and put a few droppers full into water and drink that. Kava is in it and that specifically can soothe your nerves and is known to help people loosen up/be more sociable, but you don't get drunk or high, it's just an herbal tincture. Its a very...strong taste though lol. Or maybe, it could help if you could find a bar arcade, play pool, or do some kind of activity while out with them at the bar. being able to focus on a game or task might help everything else to feel less intense.
Also, there is nothing wrong with just going for a short time and leaving when you know you're at your max!
