Like what? Misunderstood and brigaded over sarcasm and references on Reddit? I've done nothing wrong.

Reddit means little to me. I wrote 2 paragraphs being sarcastic and detailed about how it makes sense to describe the deaf, autistic, mute woman in the article with a history of disappearing was specifically vulnerable when that deaf person tried to argue. I won that.
Reddit didn't like my using the word disabled and specifically using it freely. That's silly. Deaf people are disabled, same as blind people. They require accommodations the rest of us don't. Being deaf may be a "spectrum" in the sense that they can hear a very deep tone or extremely loud nearby sharp noise but can't hear conversation or whatever. I detailed 2 dangerous things (that makes them more vulnerable) and then threw in the practical thing about how different it must be for a deaf person to lose a phone if you can't hear ringing or vibrations. I even referred to a famous deaf model!

Because we are hoping you won’t be like this after you wake up...

If you had to choose one though it would be the percentage, since we’re trying to see the effect of the lower digits on willingness to reach out

Lol, being a non-native English speaker, I thought that “to call luck” was a thing and I checked on Urban Dictionary instead of reading the article.

I can never get behind either of these systems, direct aid or indirect aid. One way it gets spent by the homeless person on good or bad things. The other it’s divided up into salaries and “help” for the homeless that most of the time is pointless drivel to them.

Professor Eric Steig from the University of Washington in Seattle:
>"It depends on how climate changes over the next few decades, which we could influence in a positive way by reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
tl;dr it's only inevitable if we don't do anything to combat climate change.

That is a lot. Do they have enough operators? Has anyone called them? Is there a queue?

I wonder how many are either getting hung up on or the cops called on them. Rarely do I hear of them being as useful as we all hope.

I know. I've only finished re-watching the entire series for the umpteenth time last week. I love that show.

The problem is there arent enough people with access to healthcare. That would alleviate this problem before it ever got that far. Even under medicaid mental healthcare is like $400 a month.

Do they report you to the police tho? I called it once and asked and they said yes so I immediately hung up and then left my apartment in case they showed up

As staff for 8 years at a crisis line...this increase gives me instant anxiety. I left for graduate school. I hope the team is doing alright...

Hopefully they don’t euthanise for calling in Canada.
