Pretty cool of reddit to build in a smoke screen for the CIA. Are they CIA, or are they uncreative boomers who can't pick a username? No one will be able to tell.
I use Nord but they did disable my account lol. That's why I needed the last two points in the list. I don't know that it's VPN related. But I used SMSPool to get a one-time-use phone number to get their Auth code. The used a photo of a relative for the "selfie" check.
This is why I created a Facebook account after deleting one decades ago. It has zero PII on it, which isnt too hard to do. I use it to agitate on my towns most popular page.
Tools I used:
Firefox Relay for the email.
Firefox Facebook Container Tab.
VPN.
SMSPool for verification codes (funded from some old satashis I had kicking around).
A photo of a relative who doesn't use Facebook.
The last two you only need if you are accused of not being a "real person".
Barack Obama ran on the issue in his first election, said it was a high priority. Then after elected said he wanted to focus on "things we can agree on." Even though he had a majority at the time.
Dems have had several majorities and super majorities since Roe v. Wade to codify it into law but never did.
This is good info. It sure doesn't sound like they're doing any kind of end-to-end care here.
According to some reports, they've built these tiny sheds that make FEMA tents look luxurious.
They're only allowed to be in these spaces or shelters for 14 days. I can't think of how anyone could turn their life around in 14 days.
They are setting arbitrary benchmarks and doing a piss poor job measuring those benchmarks (potentially counting people twice, also forcing people out of shelters to accommodate new people in shelters)
Most people who are homeless suffer from some form of disability. Which includes some form of substance abuse.
They do not provide enough material assistance for people with those disabilities. Substance Abuse is a lifelong affliction that needs long term care and assistance.
Shelters are overcrowded, only for a limited capacity, smelly, and unsafe.
Most can not get work because of how unkempt they are, and it does not appear they get any assistance in that regard.
Many face violence from cops and property theft when their encampments are cleared out.
So "They say they like being homeless" is really "They would rather be on the street." and that seems to be because....
They feel unsafe in the shelters.
More likely to be attacked or assaulted with so many desperate people in such a tight place.
They are only in shelters for a limited time anyway, and could get kicked out to make room for more people.
Being outside is often safer because people are more spread out, and they are visible, making the risk of being assaulted lower.
That would be more then I'm willing to spend. I'm basically trying to get around their human verification process. The first thing they demand is a phone number to receive a OTP.
What I did find was a service called smspool.net that let's you order a non-voip number to receive a OTP for around $0.25. You can rent a phone number if you want but I was able to get the OTP and get through the appeal process.
Let's get this one out of the way: what are peoples hot takes on these orgs off the top of my head?
