I use Runnin' Thru the 7th with My Woadies - $uicideboy$. The intro starts soft and takes about 30 seconds to fully build up.

Seriously. It's peak reddit behavior. Part of what made lemmy feel like such a breath of fresh air when I migrated was the distinct lack of karma-farm-esque posts. I'm unfortunately speaking in the past tense now.

I arrived at that point a few years ago. You're in for a world of discovery. As an fps fan myself I highly recommend Ultrakill. There's a demo so you don't have to commit.

They are hollow, only a couple millimeters thick. They melt in less than a minute.

The deletion is absolute (all atoms, creates a true void), and infinite in size vertically. Your first use of this power results in massive tectonic shifts and (admittedly low-key) global chaos.

Everyone within 100 meters feels an urge to look in your direction as soon as you think about using your power.

So yes, the landscape is changing drastically. As it has done before. I believe it's possible for us to adapt when that happens, as we have before. We're not yet at the point you describe so I couldn't say how it'll happen. But I have a blind faith that it's at least possible for us. This doesn't mean we should relax and wait for it to happen, but I would rather think about solutions than "oh no we're fucked nooo".

I wouldn't be surprised either. There is an intelligence portion on which you'll be disqualified if you score too high. I wonder if it was that part.

Maybe I miscommunicated my position. I'm not interested in withholding housing or support from anyone. As a previous recipient of such services, I will always advocate their value. I think we should be doing more, not less. I simply think the value of housing and mental health services is multiplied exponentially when they are combined.

Being homeless causes mental health and drug abuse, not the other way around.

You're saying this with authority as if it's some sort of universal truth when it is not. Speaking from experience having been homeless myself (2 years between Seattle and LA), both are true. Many people end up homeless because of how their mental illness has affected their ability to go about daily life. For these individuals specifically, housing alone is not a cure-all. If that person doesn't receive some other kind of support, their life is still unmanageable for them.

To treat the general problem of homelessness, both types of people in this binary have to be considered.

Needing housing is unfortunately only part of the problem. Whether it's part of the reason they became homeless, or damage incurred in the course of being homeless, mental illness and co-occuring substance abuse go hand in hand with homelessness. (Though that majority dynamic may change with the way things have been going, it's becoming easier to fall through the entire net or what's left of it). If those issues aren't addressed simultaneously, the person ends up right back where they were, or even worse off.

Two people died. This is just disrespectful.

I saw that and it just felt so incredibly off. Literally saying things like "bro you can play any game you want". Salesman-ass bullshit.
