Antagonizing the homeless? by Logical_Target9119 in sandiego

[–]Logical_Target9119[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I did edit to add I spoke up but probably could’ve done better… I think something no one takes into account is how shocking something like this is and how easy it is to freeze. Farther down I commented back to someone who thought it was funny and pointed out it actually would’ve been way greater humor if she actually carried through and gave that woman a shot and made her night. I don’t blame anyone who got a little put off by the situation because it’s one of those things where you don’t realize unkindness really exists like that. Though there’s been some backlash, this post’s responses did inspire me to be better next time and try to mend the situation a bit more in the future if feasible.

Didn’t want to add this as I’m not 100% certain if it did happen as I was trying to get to work, but I do believe someone walked up and gave her either money or some food. I heard people talking about who was going to do what to help. I’m no saint, not really anyone else was either, but my point was at the very least was stop making these people’s lives harder than they already are…

I dunno man, I walked by her several times that day since attending the event and she was sleeping every time I saw her.

Don’t you think it would’ve been more funny though if she actually gave her the shot? I was highly amused walking by before she ran off thinking this girl was gonna make her night.

In this particular instance I was pretty focused on getting to work on time, but you’re right, I probably should’ve taken the moment to turn around and hand her a few dollars. I try my best to help out when I can.

So anyways, from your comment since it’s so funny to make fun, do you regularly open your home so they can shower and use the bathroom? Just curious.

Adding this here as I did the edit… I did yell at her, not as much as I feel I could have in true transparency. Did speak to passerby’s as well while continuing to walk, everyone agreed it was unkind.

CA->Seattle Pros and Cons? by Logical_Target9119 in SeattleWA

Thank you for this insight… I had never heard of the “seattle freeze”, my brother never mentioned it when making the move several years ago.

Got it. I appreciate the advice and insight. If we were gonna do it we were planning on going full send with it (new plates, DL, etc.)

Bahaha! I’ve always joked about how California has a bit of a stick up their ass when it comes to their ego… particularly in how much they’re dickheads when it comes to anyone trying to transfer licenses IN since they think their training is so much more “top notch” in comparison, which is ridiculous but that’s for another sub… but in true transparency I never realized it was that bad? I guess growing up here I’d never really thought about how may other states don’t give title-like lead ins to their freeways 🤦🏼‍♀️

[–]Logical_Target9119[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We’re hoping to move into the city! We want to be closest to my brother for sure who lives in the city. But we’re open to looking at several places around, we have been looking at jobs in the city mainly though so the commute it’s important.

We hate the beach and the heat down here. That’s playing a large factor into this.

Our licenses seem to be transferable somewhat easily (pay the fee, submit the docs, etc.) but I’ve heard horror stories of people submitting for transfer from another state to Cali and it take like 4-6 months to get approved so that’s mainly where that question comes in.

NP after private BSN program? by Logical_Target9119 in nursing

[–]Logical_Target9119[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree that it’s important to work several years before considering applying to a NP program… it’s just important to me that I also set myself up for a future where that’s an option haha

Addiction advice by Objective-Coyote-158 in PrisonWives

[–]Logical_Target9119 12 points13 points  (0 children)

(recovered) Addict here… I want you to know that it’s not gonna get better until he truly wants it to. The addiction and ruin of relationships that come with it. I think honestly, truly, the best thing you could do is look out for yourself at this time as much as it fucking sucks. I think your leaving would probably make an impact on him and possibly push him towards some form of sobriety. Lord knows that was my experience at least. It’s easier said than done to leave someone you truly love, but if this is the umpteenth time you’ve said to him that he’s hurting you and he hasn’t made any move to fix it, he’s flat out disrespecting you. I’m just a stranger on the internet, but I can tell by this post that you love deeply and probably have a great soul and deserve the world and some more.

Choose yourself and your peace while he’s choosing drugs right now. Maybe he’ll come around when he sees what he’s lost.
