We just don’t know the reason so can never be sure what’s actually better. So maybe not. Maybe something bad happened as a one off, maybe it was school bullying & nothing to do with the parents.

As I suggested, some police depts. will handle it better than others, so there’s a risk that it’s not the best option. But that doesn’t mean it’ll always be the worse one.

So would it be better to just leave them alone to become permanently homeless? Depending on the country, even the state or charity orphanage may not be better than going home. There’s a tiine of variables we don’t know.

How to you propose someone ‘directly’ helps btw? Adopt them on the spot?! Ask them what they want? (This won’t necessarily be the best thing for them). Also bear in mind that the op had said they’d just taken mushrooms… A scared homeless kid having two drugged up strangers talking to them, that’s not going to be bad at all is it?!

Anyhow, it’s all wild speculation. All anyone can do is make as best a decision for the moment.

Well that was how TV series were promoted/summarised in the past! (I wouldn’t realy know about now tbh)

The lift stops on one level randomly, halfway through the episode, Odo outside the door, looks at them suspiciously/disapprovingly before the door closes and they move on…

For trying to find a runaway girl a safe place to sleep & not get sucked in to homelessness or worse? The police may not be the best option, depending on who comes out & where they live, but arguably better than nothing. You can’t second guess why they ran away, but shitting on someone for trying to help with a single word response…good job keyboard warrior.

Oh I totally get that with the mainstream media as they’re nearly all owned by his pals. But the World Socialist Website didn’t strike me as being in that group. I could well be wrong!

& Welsh

Ha! That came on in the supermarket the other day. Serendipitously I was in the herbs & spices aisle at the time!

Oh, it made it out of Canada!

Great job! I know his fast and darty-about they are.

It amazes me how many reports still speak about him as if he was even vaguely normal for a politician adhering to some level of democracy… He stated clearly he’d be a dictator prior to being re-elected and that’s exactly how he’s been behaving!

Indeed! A UK band from the early 2000s.

Great band!

True it does help with starting conversations sometimes & being able to spot people with similar tastes when meeting new people. But I personally do not like the idea of having to wear (or do) something purely for the benefit of someone else. It’s an unpleasant peer pressure essentially.

Do you not think that you may be missing out on good company, just because that person doesn’t display their personality to you?

To accept it or have to put up with it, even if you don’t like it.

To show off their allegiance, associate with their achievements & generally bask in someone else’s glory to feel good.

Much the same as wearing band t-shirts really. Or any brand. Plus it can help people feel like their ‘fitting in’ with their peers.

Like it, lump it or ignore it. Your choice. It doesn’t bother me personally, though I did wonder why myself in the past.

In this case, Argentina, I can’t help that this is an apt choice given the criticism levelled at the team’s bad behaviour at the WC. If this was made recently, a nice touch!

Don’t worry, he won’t run for presidency…he’ll just take it, just as he said he would before he got in this time. But yeah, the sooner he’s gone the better, at least the rest of the world will be able to manage the next cretin that’d take his place a little better. Good luck to you…you’re gonna need it, as will the rest of us!

PS Jeff Minter, is that you?! ;)

Don’t bring gay people into this, they’ve done nothing wrong & shouldn’t be tarnished with this association. You can refer to them as cunts instead. Works better & only offends them.

The men are probably too scared of him! Many women are, sadly, used to abuse from men so it may not be much of a change for them :/ I doubt the organisation would explicitly choose to wind him up given his tendency to sue, but the female reporters may take some pleasure in seeing him show how weak and feable he really is!

A very useful idiot…to some…

Ooh look at that shiny metal track. I wonder if it is ever used. Fable has it that great carriages arrive, and distant rattling and horns can sometimes be heard, but no one knows for sure…
