Lemmy allowing you to edit any part of your post is just so good.
We don't like your existence, so we're criminalizing it.

Remember that movie where in the future all restaurants were Taco Bell? Well the real future, all public services are police.

Now you too can be beaten down with a delicious Chulupa Supreme^tm^
Wielded by Chalupa Batman.
And be ruthlessly yapped at by tiny dog with a party hat.
So now they have to sleep indoors. Then they are not homeless anymore. Problem solved!
