Why this site

I mean they're worse in my.non joking answer to your joke. They're the root of most modern badness including homelessness. We have the technology to feed and house everyone and give everyone medicine. Corporations work very hard to criminalize that to force profit. It's as if those feral people are in charge

Yea it's different. But corporations are just as bad amirite! 🤣😅

Not until they're in a position to. I think actually a lot of our scary stories from history are not really monsters but coping mechanisms and training tools that let people prepare for the worst of humanity. That's my coping mechanism for it anyway. I know exactly what I am capable of and it is terrifying. It is also comforting to know at my physical lowest I can still also destroy someone if I need to survive but the price is unpleasant to say the least. If people all knew at all times there would be a lot of people who couldn't cope and would break down causing some very real chaos in society. It's to our benefit that ignorance on this topic exists to a degree. It also does harm but I don't think society would survive as we know it if most people knew. That might not be a bad thing but it could be.

I wish I could say shelters were a good resource but it's trifling in the streets. I don't think people realize how cunning, devious, and feral a human can actually be.

Yeah Marie Antoinette did similar things. I don't understand and did not before I was homeless but I appreciate your reminder that this is a thing. It's just absolutely foreign to me which is why I asked for clarification. It's simpler to just ask sometimes. Also the shelters were much worse than the roofs for sure. I kept a fork from dinner one night and put it to good use because I was tired of hearing the assaults and noticed the placement patterns so decided to maim someone. It gave us a whole week off of that. Incase your brain requires some vindication juice (blood vindication juice is blood)

Eh, I did when I was young. Till I actually got homeless. Plenty of people romanticize it.

Plenty of morning I woke to the sun on a rooftop with a view of the city.

But I slept on rooftops because the rapists came out at night.

They do this at all the Walgreens here in Tucson, AZ. It's shameful and dystopian.

I think the bigger story IS ALL THIS HATE FOR MY MANS BACH AND EM!!!

Should read: Homeless and community come together to APPRECIATE classical music and Opera

This is unrelated, but I think the gym I'm going to plays Cbat on speakers as gym music and I've began wondering if I should lift to the rhythm.

I understand. Also why I asked in part because everyone's got a different baseline for language and internal association

You have to alternate with popular Christian ska.

Oh ok well that makes sense because I refer to myself in other situations as that situation me. So that’s where the confusion came in.

Thank you for answering my question. I appreciate that since it's not a simple topic. I figured just asking was better than assuming the worst. I refer to my past selves like that often. Kid me, adult me. It's not caused this sort of misunderstanding before but I will keep that in mind

I never said anyone was fantasizing about being homeless. I just thought “homeless me” was supposed to mean “if I was homeless and in that scenario”. I just misunderstood what you meant, it’s not that deep. I know being homeless isn’t a fun fantasy, that would be weird.

Why would anyone fantasize about being homeless? This isn't asked in anger but genuine confusion. It is a desperate time where you are invisible unless someone is either going to try to help you which is rare or is a danger to you. Not a fun fantasy.

Oh you were actually homeless? I thought we were just talking about what we would do in an alternate universe if we were homeless. I’m sorry you had to go through that. I hope things are better for you now.

That's basically rock bottom for western civilization...

It took the entirety of human history to develop all the techniques, instruments, harmonic theory, composition, organizing almost 100 people with different instruments to play together in an orchestra, training people to sing several octaves, and so on and so forth, and what do we do with that now? We consider it a useful tool to push away the homeless...

Weed is habit forming and can cause dependency but isn't addictive

I did many times when homeless. Dancing releases endorphins. Now that was before I was a homeless adult with a malpractice suit I didn't know I had yet. Misdiagnosis on a spinal injury that took it from treatable to worse than most like it because I kept making myself walk since "nothing is wrong with you".

You won

Homeless me would just get close and dance in the streets lol

It's called a mosquito. I supposedly am old enough it shouldn't hurt me but does. I also like opera so homeless me would absolutely get close enough to hear that shit from a comfortable distance

Yeah, some of the most vocal Christians really seem to have the most trouble with the whole "judge not" and "turn the other cheek" things, don't they?
