What would you do if a scraggly homeless person knocked on your door, and all he asked was for a sandwich, a bottle of water, a bath, and perhaps a beard trim? (lemmy.world)

I've actually skipped work just to help a homeless guy get his beard trimmed. Bought him pizza too. Kinda hard to get anywhere in life when you look like shit.

Be kind to the homeless, they just need a helping hand here and there.

What would you do?

This is the first time I'm hearing plow cemeteries, and I'm not sure I'm on board with that. People usually spend time there to deal with grief and losing a little bit more of a dead loved one would be incredibly painful for a lot of folks

Fuck golf courses though

It's a joke from George Carlin. I wouldn't advocate for plowing old ones (although dead stuff makes fertile soil). Personally, I wouldn't make new ones, but perhaps a middle ground is to make mausoleums wbere people can be burried vertically.

Fair, never heard that one, but I can agree with not making new ones
