Posts that prove that despite about 300 thousand years of technological development, humanity at its core hasn't really changed all that much

Oh easy mistake. Yearning actually rises from the floor and longing hangs from the ceiling

To put it bluntly, the only way to end homelessness is to house people or kill them.

That's it. Those are your options. Homelessness doesn't go away based on "crime crackdowns." You will imprison the unhoused, and when they are free, they will be unhoused again. Or they will die in prison.

When you burn encampments or force people out without their stuff, they remain unhoused or freeze to death.

After working with the unhoused, it's become abundantly clear that those who don't want to support them instead want them dead.

There is blood on the hands of every government and organization that controls the homeless population with force instead of compassion.

Making a Selection From the Sock Drawer

[vintageandroid]

i made a post like this before but I can't find it now. so. I'll just redo it.

What's the first "big news story" you remember from when you were a kid?

It's something I love to ask mixed-aged groups sometimes because I think it's really interesting to see the responses. I've gotten answers from the Olympics of [whatever year] to Watergate to more recent stuff from my niblings.

My first news thing I remember is the OJ Simpson trial. I vaguely remember watching the news with my grandparents before that, but that's the first story I remember, in part because my second grade teacher had us go play so she could watch the verdict 😂

[absolutelynotclassicusernam-blog]

I remember walking down the street and seeing a sign protesting George W. Bush’s war on Iraq, so I think that.

[pommedepersephone]

1992 Los Angeles riots. My family was living in LA, we were actually just preparing to move so it's this weird mess of boxes and burning and my parents being outraged (not surprised) at the outcome of the trial. I feel like that being the first news story I can remember is very on brand since it was my parents who taught me how to protest.

Iran hostage crisis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_hostage_crisis

Mostly because it was part of the news, every night, for 14 months (444 days). And I remember when it ended, and they got to go home.

[vaspider]

I remember Diana & Charles getting married, bc I remember how big the train on her wedding dress was. I would have been... 3 or 4.

[cleolinda]

I vaguely remember the Iran-Contra scandal being on TV a lot when I was about 7-8, and it was like, I'm pretty sure I don't have to know about this yet. But somehow I kinda knew about it anyway.

[nicbemused]

The Coalinga earthquake in 1983. I was 7 and living mid-Central Valley at the time so we felt in pretty strongly and then it was on the news pretty shortly thereafter.

[crescent-coral-base]

Technically, one of my earliest childhood memories was coverage of the moon landing a few weeks before my third birthday.

I also remember Black September holding the Israeli Olympic team hostage in Munich in 1972.

Then for me came Watergate hearings, but I was seven and they were boring, so I didn't pay much attention to them. That was a story of interest only to grown-ups. Nixon resigned just before my eighth birthday.

The 1977 New York City blackout during the Summer of Sam. Down in Virginia, I remember the local affiliates of the Big Three going to static as they lost their signal feeds from New York. Our local ABC affiliate scrambled and threw on an old syndie copy of a Diana Rigg episode of "The Avengers" from their library. I woke up on my eleventh birthday some weeks later to headlines that the Son of Sam had been apprehended.

Three Mile Island and Mount Saint Helens were also big news events during my junior high school years, but the seminal news event for me between 1979-81 is a tossup between the 444 day Iranian Hostage Crisis and the failed assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan.

By the time of the Challenger disaster, I'm a college student and a much more engaged adult.

[prydonianrenegade]

Huh, the memory does indeed cheat.

When OP noted that they were in second grade when the OJ verdict came down... I can quite clearly remember where I was when the verdict was announced: in a science class at Tidewater Community College, listening to the verdict being read on headphones. My dropping my pen was enough to prompt the professor to ask what the verdict was... but in my head, I was certain that was a class took over the summer in 1995, so that I could make sure I got my Associates in 2 years, and not during the Fall semester in October.

For me, the first major news story that I can remember being consciously aware of was the coverage of the unsuccessful attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan.

everyone shut da fuck up this is the only thing that matters

Oh My God Damn

no way

[themysteriousmurasamecastle]

it must be so freeing to be as stupid as a ceo. not a single thought echoing through that hollowed out skull. you get paid more money in 20 minutes than a handful of small countries make in a year combined to say the biggest number you can think of and if your company doesn’t hit that number you get to fire all of them

[themysteriousmurasamecastle]

we want to entertain one billion people a day and to achieve that goal we’re going to fire every single game developer we’ve ever hired 😍😍😍
