From backboards, at the risk of opening up a can of worms? I think the issue of homelessness is localized politics more than nationalized. - Qale Oct 23, 13:36 8
- all politics are local: and homelessness seems to be universal and usually same reasons. the rent's too damn high -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 13:39 7

  - Mental health issues and substance abuse are generally major contributors to a significant percentage of the homeless as well. -- nm - pmb Oct 23, 14:07 5

    - :-D -- nm - mud Oct 23, 13:27
  - Huh. I thought a factoid was just a small insignificant fact -- nm - ty97 Oct 23, 13:23 11
    - Many, many people do as well. -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 13:24 10
      - Are you telling me that factoid, in and of itself, became a factoid? -- nm - Qale Oct 23, 13:33
      - And at this point it seems have taken on that meaning of a small or trivial fact. I think it's probably lost its original meaning at this point. -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 13:26 8
        
        Just like 'bemused'. Everyone uses it for mildly amused, or confusingly amused. But the original meaning was just bewildered. - Andie Oct 23, 13:28 5

        I've always thought if I'm bemused it's on the WTF side of things -- nm - JD Oct 23, 13:33
        
        humanoids aren't small insignificant humans, but I agree the definition of factoid has probably morphed in regular usage -- nm - Dano Oct 23, 13:27 1
        
        Good example! -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 13:35

    - THIS TIME FOR SURE!!! -- nm - Mop🧹 Oct 23, 13:38 1
      - THIS!!! -- nm - Strongbad Oct 23, 15:16
    - I’d imagine that for something like that, they are making sure to triple-check everything possible. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 13:28 3
      - Which suggests it may never print. Which is fine if it doesn't fit the standards to be printed. - ty97 Oct 23, 13:30 2
        
        except not so fine if there's someone actively trying to pitch a story to interfere with an election but the news just sits on their identity. -- nm - Max Oct 23, 13:31 1
        
        Like Comey holding a congressional hearing on dick pix on hill's assistant laptop but not mentioning the investigation into russian collusion? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 13:36

  - Or against the donor if the donor isn't willing to complain. (Why would these be rumors and not right out in the press now? NDA?) -- nm - Max Oct 23, 13:20 1
    - Someone owns the footage, perhaps -- nm - Roger More Oct 23, 13:28
  - I as well hope there is a video if this is real. Only to watch them all still rally behind him. -- nm* - Jovian Oct 23, 13:17
  - Yeah, and also I just hope it didn't happen to anyone -- nm - ty97 Oct 23, 13:17 1
    - Yup—of course—with all the reports of him casually groping people, I can imagine he’s done this in the past, for sure -- nm - Trending Oct 23, 13:19
