  • I mean, stadiums don’t stay permanent shelters. We use temporary housing pretty often for emergencies, but I could see it turning into “sanctuary city” like structure as well.

    As long as it’s a temporary stop for the people in it, I think it’s ok. It should be safe and comfortable, but also not their best housing option. I would like to see the bottom floor permanently converted into satellite offices for social services as well to better serve these groups, with the goal of getting them the assistance to leave the structure ASAP.




  • The best example I can think of where the race choices really got stupid to the point of offensive was the first “The Last Airbender” movie where the director race swapped the entire fire nation to Indian, made the water nation white when they probably should have been Innuit or something similar, then chose to mispronounce the main characters name to make it sound more ethnic when the source material was in English, so they knew exactly how it should be pronounced.

    Then for whatever reason, people got mad that the main character was white when it was the only character animated in such a way they could be white, and the tribe was a nomadic collection of people making it somewhat possible albeit not relevant to the nation theming of the other nations.

    Anyways, this triggered my annual Last Airbender rant, so sorry about that.


  • I rate it 1 star if it asks before I could possibly have even used it.

    It would have to be a truly miraculous app that transforms my life for me to change a review.

    If it asks after the 20th or so use, then it gets 5 stars because I obviously open it a bunch and regardless of my feelings, it’s obviously useful to me.

    Bank and medical apps get an automatic 1 star because I don’t get a choice in using them and I want them always improving.













  • As a person with 3 cats, I get what you’re saying. You’re getting down voted, but we all know cats can devistate local wild life populations.

    Rescuing them and making them indoor cats is the responsible thing to do, but I don’t think any vegans would argue with that.

    I think its after those establishing facts that the discussion is taking place.

    I personally am not a fan of any breeding programs when there are so many cats and dogs available to rescue, but that’s just me.
