It’s more to highlight that not having a home is not a defining characteristic of who someone is, it’s a situation that anyone could find themselves in. It’s actually trying to dismantle stereotypes by showing that it isn’t some specific group of people. It’s not just changing terminology bc homeless is an insult, it’s changing it because the way that we speak about people can have a huge impact on how those same people are viewed. Homeless drug addict has a different connotation that unhoused person struggling with addiction, yknow? No one is pretending that it has a different meaning, it’s just about being respectful towards others. We can’t dismantle stereotyping without first recognizing the terminology associated with it. Just like “Jap” and “Japanese” have much different associations with them, despite “technically” meaning the same thing (i’m asian btw, that’s why i’m using it as an example, i’m not trying to say that homeless is a slur.) Hope this helps.

Plant-based what nows?

WTF? When did HP start making refrigerators?!?

Ramitt was saying that NATO wouldn't protect the aggressor if the aggressor is a member. Turkey is a member. Therefore NATO would not assist Turkey if they were to attack Sweden.

That’s not what he said. If they are the attacking member = if the NATO member is the one doing the attacking.

Turkish? Taliban in shambles...

Yeah, I just wonder if maybe trying to address the reason that we keep making these terms negative stereotypes instead of moving on to a different term might be a better solution. Obviously it's a more difficult one but you have to convince society to use the new term anyway.

At the end of the day, Xfinity is still Comcast even if they try to pretend they arent.

If you prove that Allah is one, you have also proved that Allah is not two. But "Allah is not two" is a negative, which we know cannot be proved. Therefore, it is impossible to prove that Allah is one.

A good example is applying it to other traits. If someone has a mental illness, it’s a lot better to say they have ___ rather than they ARE ___. They are dealing with not having a home, but they shouldn’t be defined by the fact that they don’t. It’s not necessary offensive to call someone homeless, it’s just more stopping and respecting that they are a multi-faceted person with more to them than just being homeless. It’s not that big of a deal either way, but it makes a difference in how people are viewed. Just like certain words you can use to describe people are technically correct, but demeaning. Language evolves, so yes, i’m sure in 5 years we might have different terms. That’s not a negative thing!

Sweden is not a member……

Serious question, not being facetious: how is "homeless" different than "unsheltered". Is it the attached emotion or is it some semantics I am missing?

If people start throwing all their shade using the term "unsheltered drug users" and whatever other negativity they attached to "homeless", arent we going to have the exact same conversation in 5 years?

What is fundamentally different?

Nato needs to seize nukes from them we paid for/ maintain, and let them pal up with Russia. Fuck these assholes.

Right, that’s what I think OP meant as the oniony angle, the bizarre contrast in crimes.

Like, “Milosevic convicted of ethnic cleansing and use of presidential limo for unofficial business.”

See also arson, murder, and jaywalking.

Bingo! My fridge connects to the cloud to check a database of filter serial numbers to make sure i don't use a counterfeit one and if I do it shuts off the freaking water!

Companies are salivating over turning your life into a subscription model.

Scalping is a symptom of consumerism

He should've called 9-1-1

>and we're surprised that actual contestants have been harmed during filming?

I think there's a misunderstanding, no one was surprised by this. They had medics all ready to go.

What Netflix is saying is that the injuries weren't "serious", not that they're caught off guard by them.

Gracias

Egirl is more of a character/personality thing

It must be the God haters club. Either that or it’s the free will. The only words common to both of my massively down voted posts. It doesn’t matter.

I'm well aware, thanks

Welcome to Abrahamic religions.

It’s used to humanize the people without homes. It’s not that deep. If anything, you sound like the one who is overly concerned about word use. It’s not about being offensive, it’s just about respect towards others.

All this over a book.

“Allah” geezuz fucking holidays. These people.
