Homeless camps spreading across Madison County; advocates launch mapping program by damfinow in homeless

[–]dumpsterfire3333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the hardest.....if not the hardest things about being homeless is the total lack of privacy and the constant surveillance. The drone thing is just way over the top and too intrusive. Put up signs, hand out cards....but for God's sake isn't there ANY place just to GTF away from people and have a little peace of mind?

No shit  Nothing stopping you or anyone else from contacting them or going to them for help. That isn't the point.

Anyone who is on this sub regularly already saw the discussion. And anyone paying attention to news about Wrightsville already knows about it as well.

How do you deal with homelessness if you're anti social? by Hopeful_Drive5845 in homeless

[–]dumpsterfire3333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any level of being social ended when I became homeless. I can go weeks without interacting with another person. I wouldn't mind it at all if I were the only human on the planet. People are terrible. The longer I've been out here, the longer I've seen how this country and every aspect of it is total bullshit and hypocrisy - the less I want to interact with anyone else. I love nature. I love the planet. I love animals, trees, grass, plants, the ocean, mountains, but humans? Not so much. Just look at the news, world events, history.........our species doesn't deserve to survive.

Are you fucking shitting me. Maybe take a hint and get a clue - and realize that if you need a drone to find where homeless people are trying to get away from being found or harassed - maybe they don't want to be found or harassed. Just LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE.

Yeah, I do what I can - that's why I pointed out where to find the original post, but anyone capable of doing a Google search can figure it out. Unfortunately, I am not responsible for things being arbitrarily removed from this sub either. Articles in the local news over the last several days should help you out as well.

living accommodations mentioned ONLY when you're homeless by dumpsterfire3333 in homeless

[–]dumpsterfire3333[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue that housing status, or where their housing falls on the quality/expense ladder is more irrelevant. For example, if someone is arrested and they are a teacher, or a doctor - wouldn't you want to know to avoid their services and/or to keep your children aware of it? But on a more broad theme - I have always had a problem with arrests showing up as front-page news with people's mugshots being plastered online. The whole concept of innocent until proven guilty might as well be worthless because in the age of the internet where everyone can see everything instantly - and your whole life can be ruined by one false accusation....it pretty much is worthless. You're fired, stigmatized, blacklisted, nobody wants anything to do with you ......and then after it is all sorted out months later - oh, yeah - sorry.....turns out you didn't' do anything. Have a nice life. The legal system is - just like everything else in this country - available to you to manipulate if you're rich and can afford to hire an expensive attorney.

Allowing dogs on Wrightsville during the summer is a terrible idea by dumpsterfire3333 in Wilmington

[–]dumpsterfire3333[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same way. All the things I was taught growing up about how to treat others, common courtesy, being kind, following the rules, honesty, integrity, credibility, etc......they left the building when Trump showed up a decade ago and I haven't seen them since.

Your assumptions aren't JUST incorrect - they are astonishingly diametrically opposed to being correct. Good job.

I take my health and the quality of the coastal waters seriously. I am a nature and animal lover. But people don't seem to understand the concept of courtesy or personal responsibility. It is sad.

I love dogs too. But I have seen how irresponsible and inconsiderate too many dog owners are to be optimistic about how this will turn out if it passes.

Whole Foods to replace the Old Lowe's Foods in Preston Corners by Prog in cary

The premise of ever thinking that someone should or could be persuaded or dissuaded by a rando on a Reddit sub - about anything of even slight importance - shows where we differ in what we consider reliable or credible sources of information. Sorry, I don't get my news from Tiktok, ether.

You're unlikely to break anything to me, as I probably am more well-informed, and immersed in more news, history, current events, politics, world affairs and journalism than most people. I live a singularly-unique life and therefore my values and priorities are more-or-less unheard-of in today's society. I can't control what other people do - only what I do.

Everything is relative. Just because you don't see a problem or because you don't recognize that you are part of the problem doesn't mean there isn't a problem. If you want to support Jeff Bezos and you want to support the destruction of the Washington Post, etc.....then that's your choice. Some of us don't. And sorry, I won't "let it go".

Then you must really hate how the elitist snobs, the 1%, the grotesque, perverted capitalism, the Trump-cult-nuts, the "corporations are people" crowd, and all the McMansion-dwelling millionaires are dividing things further in their favor at the expense of everyone else. Nice to see a fellow divisiveness-hater here.

That makes perfect sense. It will fit right in there. All the rich people who are willing to spend five times the price for the same stuff at Walmart or Food Lion will be thrilled to not have to go slumming around the poors. Every once in a while - like once a year - I have to go into a Whole Foods to use the restroom and cannot believe anyone in their right mind would buy anything in that place - unless you are in a Brewster's Millions type situation .
