Reply to One thing people often forget about immortality is that the effects of dementia will render you useless sooner rather than later by exmxn

Dementia is death of brain cells, and immortality would also prevent such age-related deterioration.

Of course you’ll be clear-minded as you watch everyone you love die, and as you watch the sun that makes this planet inhabitable swell as it ages, consuming the planet and you in fiery torment from which you can’t escape.

So…good times

Some jokes are very region-specific. For instance:

A polar bear walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer. The barman says, “£17, please.”

The polar bear pays and takes a seat.

Bemused, the barman approaches and says, “This is exciting, we don’t get many polar bears in here!” To which the polar bear replies, “I’m not surprised with beer at £17 a pint.”

Start with social work and housing assistance, drug treatment, and trauma counseling so they can transition to readiness for work and independent living. Yes, some may be schizophrenic or have some other disorder that needs medication and an adherence plan so they stay on their meds—like the first things I listed. Adams wants to snatch them off the street and stick them in a locked ward so we don’t have to see them anymore. Many homeless are veterans, sent home without help from the same government that delights in spending trillions on weapons systems like the F-35 that are as dangerous to the pilot as they are to the enemy. Take some of that $600 million and spend it on veterans.

We were heading here eventually. Our country has enough trouble providing care for Medical issues, but is entirely incompetent for mental health issues. Since addressing mental health is something we’d never vote for, the “law and order” crowd will just institutionalize them and keep them out of the sight of voters who never valued constitutional rights in the first place.
