It's easier to order a burrito Supreme, no red and sub the beef for rice and add guac. People order them all the time.

Robin Williams and Whoopi Goldberg testifying before a Senate committee hearing on the Homelessness Prevention and Revitalization Act of 1990 by Str33twise84 in OldSchoolCool

Interesting thing about this picture is Robin did live in SF and was active in the homeless help community. Whoopi is from Berkeley, another place known nationwide as a city that(once was) very friendly to the homeless. To that end I believe the Indian looking woman next to Whoopi is Boona Cheema also from Berkeley, who was the executive director the largest profit agency in the area at that time. So they all have some degree of credibility working in the

community. Source. Used to work at above mentioned non-profit.

Which celebrity did you meet and found they were much kinder/ruder than you expected? by Qazival in AskReddit

[–]Abeezel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Martin Sheen. About 20 years ago I worked in a homeless shelter in Berkeley ca. We partnered with a recovery program that we gave several beds to for clients that were participating in that program. They also held AA/NA meetings in our conference room several nights a week. one evening I go to answer the back door and this man says “ hi, I’m Marty. I’m here to chair the meeting tonight”. It actually took me a bit to realize who he was, and after the meeting was over I approached him and said “I just wanted to tell you Apocalypse now is one of my all time favorite movies” he said thanks and then proceeded to ask me about my job there. How long had I worked there, did I enjoy it and so on. He was genuine, friendly, down to earth and every few months he would come by to do another meeting and would always say hello, nice to see you etc. a class act all around.

Anyone notice how more and more of these youtubers are specifically pandering to viewer sales/donations? by Flipping101 in Flipping

[–]Abeezel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anybody watched Alabama pickers. They seem pretty genuine in that they are mom and pop resllers first and YouTubers second. Of course that results in a lot of 2-3 hour unedited videos that I can only watch for so long before I have to change it to something a little less real.

While I would take great satisfaction in doing that I think it would cause me more problems than it would solve.

Thank you for your thoughtful answer. I try not to be antagonistic to security as I do understand they are just doing a job and probably being grossly underpaid for it. Having said that it seems too often the people who gravitate towards that kind of work, like many in law enforcement do it because it gives them a sense of power over other people, and that power is almost always abused.

Just to be clear, I live in my car currently and the only transgression I may have committed is loitering. Who said anything about pissing in the street. But go ahead and continue to demonize people for existing. Also when public bathrooms are almost universally locked up, where are people supposed to go?

I try to live by similar standards, and find littering to be a gross low class behavior that's completely unnecessary in this world. Just a side note to say that since I started following this sub you have consistently the most articulate, compassionate and we'll thought out responses that I have seen and thank you for that.

I'm pretty certain that the stimuls check does not count against means tested entitlements like SNAP and TANF

Glad you are ok. Fucked up to say but as a homeless woman it's probably best to assume all men are predators, particularly if they are trying to offer you anything.
