It’s also proved to be ineffective. Chemically castrated rapists rape again, they just use other stuff.

Bernie from Weekend at Bernie’s looked more alive.

I know some of these words.

You underestimate the high life you can lead with a modicum of money in South America.

He got sent to a gulag, I’m sure he’s not happy.

I stand corrected:

The officials said Flores appeared at an immigration hearing on December 16, where he represented himself, and admitted to the allegations against him then requested voluntary departure.

You’re mistaken, sadly. It doesn’t happen more often because people got smart to it and no longer put their houses for rent for longer periods.

And I don’t get your whatabout millionaires comment. My comment was that not all squatting hurts landlords, some hurt regular people. I don’t need to ask millionaires about it because it’s not about them, it’s about middle class people.

I think you either a) underestimate people’s desires to not be absolute assholes; or b) underestimate how often this happens.

Are you asking why isn’t everybody stealing each other’s property?

Counterpoint: some people would rent an Airbnb and stay after the two weeks they rented, effectively preventing the homeowner to return to their homes after a vacation. There’s little legal recourse to speedily remove them, as two weeks of occupation requires a lengthy judicial process to evict them (IIRC in California).

I dislike rent seekers too, but it happens to people with only one home as well. They think they could put their home to use while they’re not there (effectively reducing the problem of real estate under occupation), only to be exploited.

It is absolutely a robbery.

I mean, the other party is also oligarchic.

The all new Rapture Drink, now Kool-Aid flavored!

Flaming arrows.

No apology necessary.

There are emergencies that could happen anywhere, including in an MRI room. Dealing with emergencies, ease of ingress and egress is paramount.

The proposed solutions would hamper access to these rooms during emergencies, putting patients and techs in harms way (the non idiots), in the name of preventing a moron from giving themselves a Darwin award.

I think it would be a net negative, ie. more people would die/get hurt trying to make an idiot proof enclosure.

Nah, let them stupids die. I don’t want to risk non idiots lives for the chance of saving a moron.

Not white? What color is he, pink?

Oh, I wish I had her…

DISAPPOINTED!!

Anyone that works in automation will tell you you can’t use software to overcome deficiencies of your sensors. They were too cheap to include a reliable Lidar, and now can’t have a car that knows where obstacles are.

They meant can as in are allowed to, but your joke is funny.
