We have had Fidiumfor about 6 months here in Augusta, very little in the way of issues so far🤪

>You know people all over are totally looking to double and quadruple up in rooms. Such a common thing to see in ads for roommates

You don't even understand what the term "roommate" means....

Typically it doesn't mean you share literally the same room. It's more renting a place with other people.

Most of the time I've rented have been with roommates... even in the middle of LA I was able to get a place for 800 a month (with utilities and internet included in that).

As others have pointed out, his is less of a money issue... and more of a "I'd rather spend money on drugs" issue.

I don’t love there, but there’s lots of room up by Lincoln

Bro you just are clearly not in charge in your own budget.

Eggs have triples in price.

Wtf are you on.

You know people all over are totally looking to double and quadruple up in rooms. Such a common thing to see in ads for roommates. O wait. No it fuckin isnt. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

No matter how you slice it 60-70% of his income will go to housing.

I hope you get fucked up at work and get prescribed opiates and go on a spiral.

Its always people just like you that struggle the worst to cope when shit hits tha fan.

Its not even gonna be your fault when it does happen and its gonna be hilarious when you encounter people just like you.

you are correct insofar as we must hold ourselves accountable to the decisions we make- even when sometimes the outcome is made for us before we even make the decision. the first step is removing our moral judgments of things and our personal evaluations so we can find the solutions to our problems.

however, you are only here offering judgements, and not solutions. is this really what you want to be spending your time doing?

"EvEn In ThEraPy" hur dur dur.

Oh look at you on your high horse. Pos.

Same! I remember learning that a few years back and I said "Well okay but I'm still calling it shepherds pie."

Though lamb makes more sense for the "shepherd" bit

I went on a vacation to Quebec City and took 201. It's a beautiful drive once you get north of Solon.

done it this way for years. Mom did this, because Grandma did it this way.

My mom always made it with hamburger, corn (maybe creamstyle corn?) and mashed potatoes. A bowl of that, salt, and a bunch of freshly cracked pepper? Fuckin good eatin right there bub.

My grandfather used to say it when he was really angry and it definitely had an effect on the room lol

It really is a vicious cycle.

And if you're homeless you probably can't afford to do in-patient sobriety which would probably help a lot of people.

Not even factoring in tons of people are in denial about being an addict.

You're both arguing two very similar but different points past each other. That's why this is going nowhere lol.

Absolutely.

I'm in NH and our housing is drying up fast. All the lakes are turning into .2 acre lots, you know the drill.

My dad and sister live in Maine and they've been noticing it happening, too.

Nice thing for Maine is that it's far enough away from Boston to be insulated from being turned into a suburb like southern NH is.

I imagine Portland is starting to sprawl quite a bit.

Maine, NH and VT are the three best states to live in the U.S. in terms of climate change IIRC.

I brought a Shepards pie to a potluck once. The English fella said it was the best he'd ever had. It was the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me, with an accent.

Depends on your definition of "overrun", but will climate migrants come to Maine in larger numbers? Yes, absolutely. Humans will migrate away from islands/the equator worldwide as areas become uninhabitable.

Hi.

Took my husband on this drive for his birthday. It was beautiful.

Lol. Even in therapy (ya know, helping people) the first step is owning up to who and what you are. Not circlejerking on Reddit. Lo…fucking… L.

I really should be inclusive of the living dead huh, my privilege of a heartbeat is showing again I guess lmao

>if you can fog up a mirror

Don't be such a zombie-ist.

The thing 40 year old white dudes who got helped out at every step of their lives say, believing it was all their own 'hard work' that got them to a comfy position from which to look down on anyone suffering from mental illness, neurodivergence, addiction, abuse, or exploitation.

How about you be personally accountable for not being an asshole to people who don't deserve it?

I came to Maine largely because of climate.... looking at the projections for the next 30+ years in the US, it wasn't hard to narrow down the states that were more resistant combined with cultural aspects (southern states are less ideal since they are more extremist).
