I think these people are dumb as rocks myself, but it’s interesting to wonder why the bad decisions are made.

NSR I believe has a policy of not charging the costs of the rescues to those they pull off the mountains, to not discourage people calling for help when they really need it, but I’m sure that’s a struggle to justify some days.

To be fair, Vancouver, BC is a popular spot for tourists, especially those doing outdoor activities, who I suppose may come from places with a different hiking and trail culture, and different types of signage. Maybe Google maps is more accurate where they’re from? Maybe they just didn’t realize how much landscape detail the tree cover can hide. Lots of folks who come here don’t speak a lot of English in my experience as well. It’s still on them, though.

I’m not even a hiker though, the trails are just too packed full of people for me here.

I think they did for a while and then changed to someone else shitty again.

And while I was still working out of a truck a few years ago, the mcD’s coffee went to shit again, so they changed yet again, but for the worse. But for that brief time, McD’s did have the best cheap takeout coffee.

Honestly, with how loud and nasty organized religion has been in North America this decade, it reminds me of a concept in training I came across recently called Extinction Bursts (https://study.com/learn/lesson/extinction-burst-psychology.html).

Basically tantrums because the thing that used to work, doesn’t work anymore, and testing if just Trying the Same Thing Harder will get them what they want.

I mean, there’s other kinds of public mental health institutions than full inpatient.

Why not have, say, a location with publicly-reimbursed psychiatrists and psychologists, where a person goes for an appointment?

This project looks like a jump up from Seattle’s various tiny homes villages (Nickelsville, Othello, etc), which are around 120sq.ft each and don’t have running water, if I recall. Those are considered temporary housing, but this is a like a next step up.

Curious how these ones interact with building codes, etc, being more permanent.

Either way, people who haven’t frozen to death, been stabbed, or OD’d have more options for recovery and moving forward.

I got what you mean, I was just agreeing with you, I don’t correct anyone until at least 2 hours after getting out of bed anyway.

TL:DR for the folks at home:

“The things the women in your life are doing, is providing service for the people around them….”

“Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one. [note: or if we take it, with all the risks that may or may not entail.]

No, it’s not just women; yes, it often is women due to social factors.

This would explain why the crap they have a work always does it, but not what I brew at home.

I’ve had it happen in the Starbucks flavoured non-dairy creamer as well. It seems to happen either when it’s been sitting a while, or if it gets shocked by hot liquid rather than a slow gradual pour (“milk” first).

I don’t recall having had it happen with Earth’s Own Barista Oat, which is what my local (Canadian) Starbucks all use, but it’s been a hot minute since I’ve had any.

This kind of productive flow probably works amazingly- unless you have any other beings in your life, especially ones that rely on you for food, walks, and financial contribution.

Other life forms are where my flow breaks down.
