When it's a choice between a quick death-by-cop or a slow death from having to live on the streets, the choice can be simpler to make. :(
You might be able to eventually improve your life and get off the streets. That won't happen if you're dead.
You literally won't fucking care if you're dead lol?
Sure, it's the solution to all of life's problems.
You've obviously never lived there.
I have one, the only plus was I still had a car to sleep in, at least for a little while before it got towed. Fun fact, I learned about the bank bailouts from my car radio while this was going down. I remember thinking that at this moment if I could I would detonate every nuke on earth and send us back to square one.
Are you saying no one ever gets off the streets? Because that's just blatantly false.
they said you didn't get off the streets.
What?
maybe you should go back and read what has been happening in this thread. neither of us could have been clearer but you don't seem to want to understand the words in the order they've been presented.
You told me they're saying I personally didn't get off the streets and you think that's clear? Again: What?
maybe you need to read for more context.
There is no context in which I'm on the streets. Sorry. Believe it or not, you don't know me.
we KNOW you're not on the streets. that's exactly what they said.
then you extrapolated it to mean that no one ever gets off the streets, which is not what they said.
YOU told me that I didn't get off the streets.
Is this some weird sort of gaslighting you're doing now?
Yes. I read it. And then you sad I never get off the streets. It still doesn't make sense if you add the two comments before it. I know you want me to be on the streets for some reason, but I'm still not on the streets.
obviously you didn't get off the streets: you were never on the streets.
And yet you told me I was. I even shared the screenshot where you did. So make up your fucking mind.
you will not find me saying you were on the streets
I literally posted an image of you literally saying that. What is this gaslighting bullshit?
you couldn't have because I didn't
Liar.
that's not me saying you were ever on the streets.
What the fuck? What is this gaslighting you're doing? Do you really think it will work?
anyone who reads this will understand exactly what i meant (except you, apparently).
And yet you've not once explained yourself despite me posting that image twice, so I doubt it.
that's exactly what they said to you. they said you didnt get off the streets.
I WAS NEVER ON THE FUCKING STREETS!
we know.
I'm saying you seem to have no idea of how difficult it is to do because taxpayers don't want to spend money on housing and social programs to help people get off the streets.
I never said it wasn't difficult. Of course it's difficult. You know what would make it impossible though? Being dead.
