  • We can’t just keep throwing money at help groups in hopes that will magically solve homelessness, we need to address the economic factors pushing people there, the high and ever increasing costs of living. From a ponzi scheme housing market to ever increasing groccery costs, people are being priced out of their apartments and homes.

    We need to invest in affordable housing and transit, we need to break up the groccery cartels that keep getting away with price fixing, we need to slow immigration to ease the pressure on rental units, we need to rework the temporary foreign worker programs to be less exploitative which would open up more low skill jobs available to homeless populations.

    But our governments don’t want to do any of that because it hurts their sweet sweet profits and the oligarch shareholders. Best they can offer is some cash for local outreach groups that often don’t have the resources to make meaningful change (at least compared to the reaources available to governments).



  • Bioaccumulation concentrates more pollutants the higher up the food chain you go. It is part of why most meat we eat comes from vegetarian animals. The fish we eat are often predatory so common advice is the keep the smaller and younger ones that are still big enough to be worth filleting. You don’t actually want to eat a trophy sized fish because they’ve accumulated more pollutants. Trophy sized fish are better off being realsed, they are often good breeders and help keep healthy population numbers.

    I know several people who will take roadkill if they can confirm the freshness by either witnessing the accident or knowing that the kill recently appeared. I myself almost took a deer once. It was a cold night and the deer wasn’t on the corner at midnight. But it was there at 6am while still cold outside. If I had the time and space id have likely brought it home to at least assess the meat.

    Probably about a gram in the joint/blunt and there is a fair amount in the jar on the left. I’d bet its about 3-4 grams just in the jar on the left. They also probably included the full weight of the roll with filter, not just the herb.

    2-3 grams is defintely selling it short. We also have no idea how dense the buds are. Tightly packed buds can be surprisingly heavier than loose buds.
