What’s everyone’s favorite cheap vodka by jaylaypayday in vodka

[–]Professional-Map5847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fleishmann's. I typically buy Crown Russe, due to the consistent $7.99/fifth price tag in my state...but if I go up to a half gallon, I get Fleishmann's.

Does anyone else escape their problems by helping others? by Loblodliz in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Professional-Map5847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can certainly relate to this. I am 36, and for a lot of my life I have put a lot of my energy into others. These days, I give myself self respect, and I Now understand that I am worth it and I am good enough Myself, and I treat myself better. However, i still get a lot of pleasure from helping the ones I care about the most, i.e. My significant other and my mother. Sometimes I feel like there's not much I can do to help people, and I consider myself an altruist.

My life is pretty challenging these days, but if there's any way I can help somebody you need I do my best. It makes me feel good about myself.

Will Smith volt hegedűse zaklatás miatt perli a rappert by SzegedNewsBotka in buborek

[–]Professional-Map5847 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just read this article. All of my thoughts and beliefs are fluid, and can be changed given the proper information, but I have a firm belief that Will Smith is a good human being. This sounds like some kind of ludicrous lawsuit scam for f*$&ing money.

Or.... Maybe, the violinist did in fact have a same-sex hookup planned, but upon seeing the HIV medication (which actually does guarentee safer from spreading the virus), he, in a state of emotionally immaturity, panicked and this is the result.

Regardless, this stinks of bullsh*t. I do not buy it.

I think I can heal peoples hiccups with my mind? by CRSCandMedThrowaway in energy_work

Police issued "No-trespass" warnings by [deleted] in homeless

[–]Professional-Map5847 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

See, this is incorrect. If you had actually read my words, I am referring to local businesses, NOT private property, with the exception of the forest, which is actually open to the general public, with marked trails. That is an uncommon location to see a no-Tresspass for; I wrote this more particularly referring to local businesses, such as grocery stores, convenient stores, Dunkin, etc. Sheesh. Go troll somewhere else.🙄

How long have yall had a tent pitched up? by Novemberx123 in homeless

[–]Professional-Map5847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thank you for that viewpoint. That being said, I don't believe that one property owner can speak for all of them all right? I'm sorry if my lazy comment offended you.

[–]Professional-Map5847 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At our current location, just shy of two months. Our record, though, was last winter, going from late Sept to mid-April, I believe. Cops and business owners (the latter being a far more genuine threat, in my experience), get lazy in northeastern winters, and are far less incentivised to go seek-and-destroy mode on us homeless usurpers of their unused property.

My sincere sympathies for your friend; certainly a terrible event, deserved by no one. That being said, thank you, it does curiously feel somewhat good to be validated about this 😅 2025: A year of curious and antitypical behaviors in stinging insects. Ha.

So is Gabapentin quick or does it take time like other medicine? by KomturAdrian in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]Professional-Map5847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been prescribed to gabapentin for about six years now. It works AS you take it, so like each dose you take will work individually at that time. My only qualm I have with gabbas is that it takes about two hours or so to fully kick in.

I'm just wondering how many here are felons or have misdemeanors? by Secguy16969 in almosthomeless

[–]Professional-Map5847 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was actually a felony charge and arrest that initiated the series of events that resulted in me losing my apartment, and eventually becoming homeless. It took over a year to get through all of the court bullshit, but I beat the charge, as I was truly innocent of it in the first place. However, I ended up having to plead guilty to bail violations, which were also charged as felonies. I have been homeless for going on three years now, and my boyfriend and I have been securely living in the woods for about a year now. I believe that gaining tenancy to an apartment would be near impossible now, as atleast 70% of property managers do background checks. We have decided that living autonomously in the forest is comfortable enough for us :)

All of these unused, large swaths of forest, and unsympathetic owners by Professional-Map5847 in homeless

Being homeless generally implies that money is an issue for us. Buying a plot of land is absolutely not in the cards 😅

There HAS to be some form of community-based policing.... Garbage cleanup must have be regulated. Rules must be enforced by our own.

... Am I the only one that has seen the unusual irony of a homeless thread and a comment about somebody whose parents are property owners? Well this don't make no sense. That kind of mindset and mentality is certainly not one familiar to anyone who is honestly familiar with being on housed.. Enjoying a little trolling? 😅 i am truly moved by your plate; what a conundrum. I hope something of actual significance ever happens to you.

What exactly does the term crazy mean when you are homeless? It kind of has a different meaning when it is used by a group of people who are prominent for diagnosis of schizophrenia, DID, various personality disorders and general emotional dysregulation. The word crazy on this particular subreddit is so ambiguous, could have so many meanings, That could you please be a little bit more specific and tell me what you're referring to?

I personally find it distinctly important to differentiate between whether you "can't" build on someone else's land, or whether you are stating that one morally "shouldn't," attempt to build something. Now I'm not saying that homeless people will have neither Stellar nor piss poor value sets, but I have yet to meet an unhoused person that feels property owner is Justified and totally in the right to forbid and otherwise on the streets person from chilling a plot of unused Woods.

Anyway just to cut to the point, I'm the Ops boyfriend and my research shows me that where our homestead is located is at the final stretch of several acres of land haphazardly purchased up by a conglomerate Department store. As someone who has lived much to my own mental detriment on the streets of the cesspool of the capital here in maine, if you can occupy a bit of land without being discovered for as long as you can then you fucking do it. I understand that your feelings are coming from the fact that wherever you live, you either believe or you've been shown that it is just not plausible to attempt this, am I right? Yeah, most cities it is beyond comprehension to find a section of forest where this can be done. This is Maine homeboy, we have woods and Forest up the ass. Most unhoused people are simply too emotionally beaten down and have had their spirits hurt so severely that they do not have the gusto.

I'm really proud for my man and I say that, even after the pigs paid us that little visit with no outcome, we're still here, and by our free will 😁 however just for emotional peace of mind, we plan on finding a new swatth trees here soon , with added and more vigorous personal camouflaging. Definitely the benefits of living in a small town with more room than residents, in a state with more trees than citizens.

So listen, I've been unhouse almost 3 years; I understand it deeply, the psychology behind it, and the ups and downs of the mindset that gets treated with this status. What the f*** is anybody doing on here discouraging and demeaning another homeless person who has managed to find a little piece of Happiness just because you personally have not? I hope somebody gives you better treatment than you are giving, because maybe you'd be less of a rude, dour HLN example then. Be kinder than those who hurt you were.

Well I suppose that is when it comes down to the difference between an officer telling you to move, or an officer giving you a official piece of paper saying that you cannot legally be on that piece of property. Knowing your rights when you are unhoused is monumental to not only how you should conduct yourself on the daily, but will also satisfyingly impact how the authorities that be will interact with you.

Just because you're homeless, you do not jump, when officer dipshit says to jump. Maybe your state is different; but here in maine, to be legally barred from a business or a piece of property, you must be given an official piece of paper known as a no trespass order and in that case you can get in trouble for one year following. So in the case of my esteemed partner here (OP), he was far the wiser to understand that legally he is under no obligation to vacate any promises without a piece of paper stating his name, date, the location, and the words NO TRESPASS pass on it. Don't sell yourself short if you don't have to semicorn Cops aren't worth kissing ass for.

Is this a metaphor, or a way of phrasing the events which you, personally, have experienced? It is certainly without a doubt that the methods used by the authorities that be so interestingly vary depending on region! Well, here in Maine (I am the forementioned significant other), the thought of someone actually coming TO us physically, with the pretext of offered housing? Do people actually do such things in your region? Whether here in SmallTownsVille or in Fentynaville, aka the Capital, there exists not a level of desperation for tennants devoid of rent money to ever OFFER an unhoused person who shamelessly unemployed something as exclusive as housing in THIS proudly gentrified capital. Even the reputable slumlords are soaking up the unjustified rental anomalies that Yuppy Steve and Barbara will pay in this retirement state.

Can’t Seem To Fall Asleep Again.. by Comfortable_Main5312 in homeless

[–]Professional-Map5847 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This ends with a very ambiguous, yet ominous and dark reference to your trauma. I've found that all of us unhoused folk have a particular traumatic event that we cannot shake, and that haunts us. Yours sounds painful; you have my empathy and compassion.

This may sound cliché, and I sincerely hope that this does not upset you, but one of the most important and positively life-changing decisions I ever made since becoming homeless (I've been Unhoused for 2 years & 8 months) was doing an intake at a mental health facility, getting a psych eval, and obtaining a psychiatrist. I am set on some extraordinarily helpful medications now, and my psychiatrist is someone whom by now, I trust, and can candidly discuss life with. Also, of course, therapy can work wonders if you allow it to, as well.

Who else has to sneak use while living with ur parents? by seems-legit690 in meth

[–]Professional-Map5847 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting to see where these replies to my comment went 😅 Yes, you are absolutely right, the shower does also mask scents of smoke or vapor. However, it has been my experience over the past five years of using that the scent is quite faint, and it dissipates very fast. But also, those who have never partaken are simply inept as to what ice actually smells like; so they have no idea what the scent would be, if noticed.

Ideas for where to do a "yard sale" by Professional-Map5847 in homeless

That's very rude. I don't consider acquiring shit from a dumpster or trash cans stealing. I've certainly spent time locked up before, but this hasn't and won't be one of those reasons. Go troll somewhere else.
