I highly recommend watching The Territory: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt16378164/

Its a documentary following one of these indigenous tribes and the shit they have to go through in keeping their autonomy. Like its one thing for the government to say a certain land is theirs, but what are they supposed to do if a logging company starts cutting down their trees and the local law enforcement doesn’t care?

someone create !11foot8@lemmy.world pls :P

1984 here, checking in.

So you’d essentially be proposing that we don’t help

Excuse me? I haven’t proposed anything. I’m simply asking questions because the headline/description seemed misleading to me and not adequately conveying the full story/situation. Purely from a math/stats/logic point of view

I’m wondering what is the percentage of homeless that are addicts or have mental health issues. You seem to be confident they are outliers, but what is the percentage? Is it 1%? 25%? 50%?

Seems like a logical fallacy to me without knowing that stat.

“The study did not include people who are street-entrenched or who have serious addictions or mental health issues”

Seems kind of disingenuous to leave out people who are addicted to alcohol or drugs. No, that’s not most of them, but yes that is some of them.

The study simple ignores them so how can one make conclusions like “contrary to what people believe” and “the opposite of what people think” without actually considering the subject in question

It should make you distrustful of politics, lawmakers, lobbyists, and capitalism not science itself. Pure science is unbiased and systematic, by definition.

Ride a bike. You get exercise, sunlight, cheap transportation, thrills/adventure, and good feelings, it’s a win win

And if possible, find a local social bicycling group near you. Adds even more benefits when you are riding with a group

IR blaster. You could have a universal remote app and control any tv from my palm PDA
