Ask a (formerly) homeless (pseudo-)bum anything

Interesting. Is it some sort of critical clash of personalities or just a bunch of tiny details? Years ago I ended a relationship with a fine woman whose party-filled-bunch-of-friends-in-the-house lifestyle I could not bear so it was a logical decision that we split because we're too different people.
The reason I ask is because cases like this are quite rare in my opinion and I wonder about technicalities. You described the result, but a result in definition is caused by other things. Is it the type of case where there are too many things to be changed or are they just too deeply embedded into the associated personalities?

My personal observation is that all women are insane. I have picked one that who's craziness is compatible with my own issues.

Hence I told her that she never has to worry about me leaving her for another woman. I refuse to put myself through it a second time.

My luck isn't good enough to get this lucky again.

After 15 years of wifecrafting I finally got my mirror of kalandra but bloody hell it was a pure RNG drop. But I so much understand what you're saying, when the drop occured I actually decided to become a single hermit because it's just so much burden, those first weeks and months when meeting a female. Never again.

Looking for reasons doesn't help in that situation, imo.
They'd start blaming each other as self-reflection has it's limits in a static environment.
It is the kid which is of significance, hence the decision, I guess.

Dear homeless bum, thank you for this insight.

Onto the next question!
Ketchup or mayonnaise?

I'm asking Scrotie as a homeless Spock, not specifics but mechanics of that fubar. Not who did what but what genre of trouble was that.

Dear Scrotie,

Are you gonna help homeless people in the future? Like i did when i tried to show the path to uninformed players with my trading guide.

edit : Or at least try?

I'm going to try, for sure. I'd actually enjoy volunteering my time later in a counseling capacity to help the not-so-fucked-up exit homelessness faster.

Alright.

Deeply embedded. Changing the surface details, even en masse, is easy enough, and we did so; it was the unchanging core which was dysfunctional. But like ammonia and bleech, Idon't think either of us was the core; it was the combination which was deadly.

Am I Dutch? Mayonnaise has only two legitimate (non-ketchup) uses I'm aware of: tuna salad and eggs Benedict. And only the latter is worth relishing (ironic pun intended). Ketchup, on the other hand, is key to enjoying some good London-style fish and chips. Also every decent hamburger ever. But that doesn't mean all ketchup is worth consuming; get the fuck outta here with that Hunts shit and bring me some Heinz.

Although, in a way, the correct answer is "entwine": Thousand Island dressing is amazingly versatile. And yes, that's a Magic the Gathering reference.

I find it interesting that Meth and MDMA are hard to find in the homeless community where you are. I lived in London Ontario (Canada) for 6 months in some pretty sketchy places with some pretty sketchy people, and meth was excessively easy to find (and able to be obtained for $5 a point in bulk without going straight to the cook), because it allows people to maintain being an addict without needing to stack as much food cost on top of the drug cost.

My guess is that it's done intentionally by suppliers if crack is popular in the place of meth since it also has hunger culling, but lasts not even remotely close to as long and is more expensive.

What I'm wondering is, whats your method of dealing with "that guy" who uses pill sickness as an excuse for everything? I lived with one of them for a few months in my last place, and they get extremely annoying extremely fast.

Do you feel like being homeless has made you manly? Or do you feel like a failure of mankind for being unable to house a family?

Would the percentage of overweight Americans be reduced significantly amongst the homeless community?

What books are you reading? I hope Self-Reliance is one.
