    Not what I said. That is a logical extrapolation of a measure that would actually target the homeless as opposed to public transit users. An extrapolation you made. Don’t strawman me you dishonest asshat!

    The best way to fight homeless people is always to prevent their growth, aka making livable/affordable cities. Look at the Netherlands or nordic countries for referee (as almost fucking always…).

    Tho that’s not what my comment was about, I was just pointing out that this shit clearly targets the average transit user, while barely affecting the homeless. It’s unprovoked hostility for no rhyme or reason! People should be fined or lose jobs for this!

      That comment was a joke, they were imitating the sarcasm of the original reply to the subway, from the point of view of an anti-homeless organization only looking to “deal” with the homeless, perhaps using your comment as an excuse to do so.

        Honestly hard to tell what level of sarcasm we’re on. As in either, “Haha, that’s how they would reply” or jokingly dismissing what I said as stupid/hypocritical with my sentence twisted. People here usually use “/s” to denote that the prior wasn’t serious.

          the “use our suggestion box” wasn’t so much a hint as a giant sign in flashing neon lights

            You’d be surprised how many people talk like that. It’s a common way to make fun of someone.

          Unfortunately, adding a cringey “/s” takes all the fun out of sarcasm. It’s better not to flag it and let the reader be responsible for detecting the sarcasm, at the cost of occasionally being misunderstood.
