I know it is not Oakland, but it involves California and humans correcting past environmental mistakes.

    SF says the people they are doing this to have not accepted the city's very limited options for housing.

    There was recent article (help me find it) detailing there are over over 200 SF non-profits focused on housing funded by less than 10 govt agencies.

    I live in Oakland and moderate (mostly post) to the Oakland community.

    I don't recall all the details right now but... I think they tell all the people leave and then throw everything left in the trash.

    EDIT - Here is a story our local NPR station - https://www.kqed.org/news/12006541/sfs-homeless-sweeps-have-cleared-over-1200-tents-where-are-people-going

    Currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area and see this happening in several cities. San Francisco is the largest example. They have made building new housing a nightmare of red tape yet they are going full steam ahead with clearing out the homeless people.

    The Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF) is a non-profit that fights for our civil liberties in an electronic age. It is also the non-profit I have given the most donations over the years.

    My friend can follow 2-3 separate conversations while talking to me. Meanwhile I have a hard time following our conversation.

    My parent's cat would do the same thing. They hated it because they had to get the messiah chipmunks out of the house.

    We talk about lots of other things.

    Even after a year he cannot remember I don't watch YT or TikTok a lot. It is difficult to immediately pull up the video due to work rules.

    I work with someone about my son's age. My coworker is constantly asking if I saw some video on TikTok or YouTube. The answer is always so he tells me about the video. IDGAF

    I was at the dentist today. Second time they made me wait more than 30 minutes. Aside from that they asked for a much higher payment than I agreed to just one week earlier.

    I got up and told them I'm leaving and they can keep the money. The apologized profusely and convinced me to stay. They did get me in and out very quickly after that.

    I doubt I will go back for the second half of the work.

    Also happened when I took my 5 year old son to the dentist. The doctor's policy was that no parents are allowed on the treatment room. I told my son to get out of the chair and left. Turned out that dentist was trying to put fillings in teeth that would fall out before fillings were even needed.
