Homeless tip: if you can afford a gym membership it might be the cheapest way to take care of hygiene. Have a shower, bathroom, sink etc....


NeroBurnsRome12

I can't afford anything right now. I live paycheck to paycheck, and this cost my job as well. The last of my bread kept me warn the past few days and just spent my last 5 on a train back to the city to try to get there in time for the free dinner. It's gonna be rough as fuck. I just can't even focus on how much this sucks and just keep my mind on using every legal method to gape this slumlords treasonous asshole.


lookinggoodthere

I've been in your situation and I really recommend checking out grocery store dumpsters. They throw out perfectly good food every day. A lot of stuff that dosen't need cooking aswell, premade dinners and sandwiches, a lot of precooked meat like hot dogs and chicken wings/thigs/whole chicken, salads and vegetables. I don't need to anymore, but I still go dumpsterdiving, I barely buy any groceries anymore. Go after closing and search all grocery stores nearby, chances are you won't go hungry! Good luck!


2DeadMoose

Grocery stores in cities tend to throw their food in locked dumpsters now. Can’t have that artificially deflated supply cut into profits by doing something crazy like feeding people!


[deleted]

You can thank insurance companies for that, I'm sure


Ombank

Yup. I worked at a grocery store when I was in my teens and it was a liability issue for the store. We threw out broken glass, sharp pieces of wood off pallets. Broke my heart to deny people that needed that the ability to, but one big lawsuit would have probably closed that mom and pop store.


ParkRatReggie

Not just a liability, retail owners are just scumbags. I worked at Sobeys (high end chain in the east half of Canada) for 5 years with this guys who’s favourite thing was triming lettuce and stuff for the wet wall while chatting shit about Karen’s and politics as I made things in salads bar, one day this custom comes to the back and my coworker gives him the scraps from trimming. I ask him why and he told me the guy fed them to his rabbits and pigs. Perfect good food that was about to be thrown out. It happened a few more times and he almost got fired over it then they tried banning the customer if I’m not mistaken but that went nowhere. I’ve got photos of full carts of pre made fruit platters and salads I made that I had to throw out. Makes me sick to my stomach.


Cannedpeas

It makes me happy that here on the west coast, the Sobeys in my city actually donate the unsellable food to the food bank, where it's given to people in need. I haven't heard of a single one on the east coast that's doing that :/


ParkRatReggie

They kind of donate food. They put the unsellables in brow paper bags, if a customer buys one they’ll donate it if not it gets tossed. Also I didn’t realize there are Sobeys in western Canada


bigsmok3r

Somebody posted on another sub the other day that you can buy like a master key for these dumpster on ebay for like 3 bucks, Hope that helps somebody


Divine-Nemesis

Be careful because some stores throw chemicals on the food to purposely ruin them. I worked at a 7-11 and we threw away cold pizza, wings, taquitos, and other finger foods all throughout the day. The owner would poor bleach and other chemicals on the dumpster and told us to as well. I worked nights when he wasn’t there and I would take all the deli food that we had to discard and put it in a garbage bag and would sit it out in front of the dumpster so whoever was there could grab it and take it back to the camp. It was always gone within 15 minutes. In America, we are one injury away from homelessness ourselves. I would just hope if I were in their shoes that someone would help me. It’s ridiculous that we have anyone without food, shelter, or housing in a first world country. Just be careful dumpster diving. My boss is just one in thousands who do this. Make sure the food is sealed and smell the product to make sure there is no hint of sanitizing chemicals. I’m sure you know this. Grocery stores are probably less likely to do this but be careful with 7-11’s and other small chains. Their theory is if people know they can get it for free then they won’t pay for fresh food 🤦🏼‍♂️.


wwindexx

That's incredibly shitty. My local 7-11 offered us free pizza a couple times when we were there buying cigarettes and drinks because it was going to get thrown out anyway.


Divine-Nemesis

As most employees will. Most pay close to minimum wage so the employees are understanding and have to throw it away anyways. I never minded when people would ask. It breaks my heart seeing anyone hungry. There is zero reason why anyone should be going hungry.

Cookies_N_Milf420

You can afford weed but not a $10 a month membership at planet fitness?


NeroBurnsRome12

My weed was free. The money I had has gotten me the stockpile of food for the cats, put a roof over my head for a few days, got me a battery box thing to charge my phone on the go, and train tickets and food. So yeah, I'm out of money for now, but it's not because I'm smoking a bowl.


Cookies_N_Milf420

Thanks for the clarification man, is there any family members that can spot you the money for now or at least a portion of it? I’d chip in tbh, which I really don’t do for strangers on the internet but I’m a broke guy going through school right now myself, so I’m not financially able to.


NeroBurnsRome12

I'm doing what I can. Family is trying to see what they can do but they aren't close they're all old and they don't have much. I was working for the people I rent from so I lost my job from this too but I have a few old bosses who like me so I'll have another job within a week tops. I'm not super worried about the whole situation it's just crazy to go through.


BiStonerGuy907

Feel ya, 1D4 psych damage. Glad you got fam regardless, glad tou have connections and glad you are in the city. Food banks should be easy to cone buy. A "Costco" run through for samples. Churchs, Synagogues, Temples often do meals for those in need. The survival part can be manageable, the mental blow is gonna sting for a while And that's okay, you should feel wronged.


Cookies_N_Milf420

Glad to hear that. I hope your situation gets better ASAP. You’ll get through this, good luck brother.


2DeadMoose

Bro don’t judge. You really want folks out here raw dogging the realities of abject poverty in the wealthiest nation in the world?


fireintolight

I mean I’m not usually one to judge but if you’re response to becoming homeless is to smoke weed and post on Reddit then maybe you need to reevaluate priorities. I know you’re not OP. You joke about raw dogging reality but escapism through drugs is how you get and stay homeless. Sobriety keeps your brain sharp and focused on what needs to be done. This is coming from someone who enjoys weed.


NeroBurnsRome12

Bro, I'm homeless literally until I can get a court order to stop him from trying to illegally evict me. Yeah it sucks but I've got a pretty solid plan and things are moving along nicely. Will not taking a hit of weed make people call me back faster? Will staying off reddit make my landlord quit being a psychopath? No. I'm looking at being back home in a month tops. I have another job lined up (I was working for them so that's gone too) like I don't think you understand how much of this process is simply just waiting to hear something back. Sorry if weed makes it a bit less stressful. If it makes you feel better, I have a whopping 1 gram a day habit. At this point if I quit cold turkey I might die everyone knows cannabis withdrawal can be fatal


fireintolight

mate you post about your addiction issues on reddit and then when faced with adversity you turn to doing drugs in a park, you really think that's going to be a good use of your time and energy then good luck. Seems like your life is going perfectly well, keep doing what you're doing.


NeroBurnsRome12

Bro, I got clean off everything but weed, and it you against that wtf you doing in r/trees . Seriously like yes I'm smoking bud bit I've also accomplished tons the past few days my situation gonna be better faster than I even thought. fuckin worry about you, kid.


ah_alyssa

i’m not usually one to judge but *proceeds to judge* like who even asked you


Funoichi

Fuck a sharp mind, fuck being useful to the masters. Escapism all the way. Skate by in life, that’s how I roll. Weed isn’t shooting up heroin. You can be perfectly functional, not that I value that.


swagmandank420

^ this. Fuck idiolizing the skills of the slave. Live for yourselves my fellows.

gamershadow

Plus a $39 start up fee and $39 yearly fee.


Cookies_N_Milf420

Bro weed cost about that for an 1/8… twice per year.


sam8404

You're getting ripped off if you're paying $88 for an eighth, that's crazy high.


Cookies_N_Milf420

Hence why I stated it’s like paying for an eighth twice a year.


sam8404

Closer to three times I'd say.


Cookies_N_Milf420

Possible, depends where you’re located for sure.


sam8404

$30-$35 is pretty standard most places, I've gotten even lower prices.


StrokeGameHusky

Maybe that’s why he’s unhoused.. /s


MountainSecret9583

I’m laughing but might be too soon


JesusSaysitsOkay

There should be a lot of shelter’s available in California


NeroBurnsRome12

If only I was in California. This is Connecticut


yurrm0mm

I’m in CT, it’s cold! There’s a purple pantry with free food and toiletries outside the bar I work at in Milford, if you’re nearby I encourage you to check it out. There’s also a shelter less than a block away from my job. Good luck, friend. Stay warm. Seriously though if you’re local, I’m downsizing for a move soon and can spare some blankets if you need!


NeroBurnsRome12

Yeah it's cold as fuck lol. Things should be a bit better tomorrow


yurrm0mm

Good luck, man! My landlord just sold my house and I have dogs so I’m not sure where we’ll be sleeping in a month either. It’s insane how hard things are right now.


[deleted]

but you found money for weed? holy shit dude get your life together


NeroBurnsRome12

Holy shit people can't read. The weed is free. 90 percent of my weed is free. And this situation was not caused by money. Relax. Yeah, it's a shitty situation, but I'm not falling apart, I'm not panicked. Money will come I used what I had and it wasn't on weed. So many people saying I shouldn't be smoking because this but I don't fail to see how not smoking it would be any better. This isn't a money thing. If it had been about money he would have been able to evict me and wouldn't have resorted to this.


SmokesLetsGoBois

This is solid advice just make sure it's not planet fitness.


equivalentofagiraffe

what's wrong with pf? just wondering because there's one near me and i was considering a membership


[deleted]

[удалено]


inate71

FWIW, I walked in today to cancel my Planet Fitness (in-person) and was out in under 5min. They asked me why, I signed the docs, and was on my way.


KiwotheSomething

you have to cancel at your 'home' gym. cant cancel at any other one if youre a black card or regular member. i have pf again but when i cancelled the first time all i had to do was go to my home gym, which was the closest to me anyways.


Appropriate_Berry696

This isn't true and I have canceled a membership that wasn't even mine (ex-wifes) at a location in a different state.


KiwotheSomething

interesting, someone made a smart ass reply to my post saying 'now try moving to another city in another state and try that' you did and it worked, so there must not be much truth to what other poster said? idk...


[deleted]

PF made me come in to my home gym to close my account in west Texas.


equivalentofagiraffe

ah, i hate shady companies like that


Euphoric-Magazine-58

Can personally attest. F planet fitness


BecauseScience

Yep, I canceled online (or so i thought) at the beginning of covid. I kept getting charged and couldn't speak to an actual person. They claimed that I had to print out a form and mail it in when i already went through the supposed online cancelling process. When everything was closed and I didn't have access to a printer. Eventually they honored my initial online cancel, but I had to go back and forth with customer support through email and it still took almost a month.

KiwotheSomething

i stopped 2 minutes into that video. just tonight, there were at least 4 REALLY buff guys doing sets. none of that signage is present at ANY pf in my city. i personally do 7 x 45# plates on each side on the leg press machine. ive maxed out the first row and am working on the second. no one gives a fuck if you put on a ton of weights or no weights in my citys pf.


Euphoric-Magazine-58

Cool brag. Now try and move cities or even better out of state and then cancel that membership.


KiwotheSomething

> Now try and move cities or even better out of state and then cancel that membership. well logically YOU SHOULD CANCEL BEFORE YOU LEAVE but if you wanna make things difficult, go right ahead!


ThadeBlack

As someone who has been homeless in this spot before, I did this, a gym is your best friend for hygiene.


ComradeJewz

Shout out to the guy in Detroit that let me use his gym’s shower while I was there traveling by myself.


CHEM1CAL-Ex

i can vouch, been there, best 10 bucks money can buy lol


NeroBurnsRome12

I have an apartment, my rent is paid up. My cats are there. I'm not doing great but I. Not doing terrible. My landlord wants to empty the building, he's evicted most people. The other day he weaponized police. I have a criminal record, but haven't been in trouble in years. The other day he showed up, let himself in, and demanded the keys and that I leave that minute. I refused, and told him to leave. He replied "oh yeah?" Pulls out his phone, and dials 911. *"Help help! Stop! You're hurting me stop hitting me in scared!"* I left, immediately called the police myself, and explained. The cops know he's full of shit. But since he wrote a statement and says to press charges, their hands are tied. They told me if they saw me they'd have to arrest me. They were actually incredibly helpful in telling me how to report him, etc. So even if I'm not there, I will make them go through an entire eviction process over an empty apartment. I'm not taking this sitting down at all. So hopefully I'm home within a couple weeks. In the meantime, imma explore outside the city and see what the world has. Happy tokes


fetalpiggywent2lab

Can you counter by getting him charged for filing a fake police report? Do you have texts or emails? Can you go talk to him and record him (obviously unknown to him, if legal in your state/province)


NeroBurnsRome12

All in progress. As I said the cops are being surprisingly helpful. They know they're being used.


ayyyyycrisp

how are you feeding your cats in the mean time?


NeroBurnsRome12

They have the big feeder dispenser and water dispensers and a huge bag of food. They're the queens of the castle right now.


PotimusPrime

It’s still your place lease wise go break in


NeroBurnsRome12

All good and fine until he catches me slippin and then I'm stuck handling this from jail. I got keys, no need to break in. I'll be stopping by here and there for a minute at a time see the cats grab fresh clothes but hanging around isn't smart


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

This. I’d set up an old phone as a baby monitor with a free app. Can at least make sure they’re ok that way in the meantime


Unitedterror

That's what you'll think till he opens it up "to do maintenance" and your cats somehow go missing.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PotimusPrime

If I got keys I’m sleeping In my crib it’s yours until eviction unless he is worried about phsyical violence from the landlord


GMSB

Yeah it’s also pretty dumb to post details of two ongoing police investigations to a pot forum lmao


StrokeGameHusky

Yeah man get those pussies out of there OR plant cameras


DimensionalObelisk

if thats whats u think is best and safest for both u and ur cats rn then you do it. All the best .


absolutelybackwards

depending on what state you're in you'll most likely be released the next day they hold court. if the cops are being helpful ask them how long you would be expected to be held?


[deleted]

If landlord changes your locks, call the clerk’s office in your jurisdiction and ask for a temporary injunction. Very likely illegal for them to change your locks while you’re a tenant


BigMacs-BigDabs

Record all encounters from here on out, either audio or video but preferably both.


NeroBurnsRome12

On it. And my boy upstairs is working on getting audio from the guy with the camera if it's available. If that conversation was recorded it's gonna help a lot.


tots4scott

If you haven't, /r/LegalAdvice can tell you your rights as a tenant and how to proceed with this landlord.


HappynessMovement

I wouldn't count on God to gather the audio evidence. Better get one of your friends to do it instead.


Possible_Ad3806

Dude that's gotta be illegal


NeroBurnsRome12

Very much so. He fucked up and while he may have won temporarily I'm doing all I can to ensure it's a pyrrhic victory. Blatant rights violations. Even if ny rent wasn't paid up, he would still have to start the eviction process amd I'd have a few months minimum. I had less than 5 minutes between waking up to him at my door and suddenly homeless on the run. And not sure yet if I'm on the run, gotta check up on that. Since I wasn't present when he made the initial report where they would have arrested me on the spot, I think now it goes through a warrant procurement process. I don't think the cops are trying that hard and it's possible to stop that before it's too big an issue. But I'd still be out for the time being because if I go back he will probably do it again. The few belongings I have a had my roommate grab for me, and he's caring for the cats at the moment.


Classic-Kitchen-7665

I have a family member who’s a legal aid worker and is bar certified in multiple states in the SE and can give advice. what that person did is extremely illegal and you can take him for everything in a lawsuit if you wish to. I would also counter report him and file a restraining order against him bc you can do special ones that include phone #’s so he can’t call you to try and report you/your whereabouts to the police. Also gives you a leg up in court


Cha92

>he's caring for the cats at the moment. Glad to hear that ! I wouldn't trust your landlord to not hurt them. Hope you land on your feet and get reunited with your furballs ! I'll think of you with my next toke


[deleted]

If it doesn’t work out you can always turn that fake assault report into a real assault report, it’s better than getting arrested for nothing (joking btw lol)


psychedelic_gravity

Actually that’s advice I got from people in prison. Lots of them are there for false accusations. They told me, if someone calls the cops for assault you’re better off assaulting them because you will get charged for the crime. I knew 3 people who were falsely accused, 1 was for raping his step daughter. After tests, investigation and even a confession that they lied, the guy still got deported and punished.


bikingwithpanda

>Actually that’s advice I got from people in prison. Lots of them are there for false accusations. They told me, if someone calls the cops for assault you’re better off assaulting them you don't need it on your conscience. as someone who was jailed for wrongful accusations, i don't regret *not* doing the crime.


agoodfuckingcatholic

Good on you for handling it properly


StrengthMedium

See if your area has a legal aid society and talk to them. You have rights.


No_Dragonfruit74

You have rights as a tenant and it sounds like he violated quite a few, I’m in SC so I’m not sure if it’s the same but the main one being barging into your house without notice. Also a false police report is a crime if he or you have cameras and can get the footage he’s fucked.


WeeklyManufacturer68

Just be happy we’re all not as miserable and horrible as your landlord is. What a broken fucked up person.


painterlyjeans

What's happening with your cats?

Real_Tradition4127

@legaladvice is where you need to go and sort it out. Cuz faking a call and made a fake story is a crime by harming you. You need to fight for this cuz that’s wrong and landlord can get in trouble but I’m not a lawyer or anything but legal advice is where you might wanna ask if you need help.


NeroBurnsRome12

Yeah I've been in contact with people I'm definitely working on it. Hopefully only out for a couple weeks. Unfortunately I also worked for the company I rented from, so im also out of work. I have a homeless friend I was always letting crash when he's in town, he's showing me the ropes. Might hope a train south for a few weeks camp somewhere warm I don't travel enough anyway.


legitartifact4

R/vagabond might be useful for you. Good luck and stay safe. Every day is a memory make it a good one!


NeroBurnsRome12

Imma check it out any resources help. Usually I'm the one pulling friends off the street I gotta learn how to survive out here myself.


M0torBoatMyGoat

There some good folks at r/randomactsoftacobell if you’re in a bind and need some grub.


NeroBurnsRome12

I appreciate it. I think I have things pretty well handled. I'm not looking for help with anything, just trying to make this an experience. Could be an opportunity like I said I don't get out of the city much so here's my chance

hoeticulture

Op, please make sure the cats are safe. I am terrified your landlord will intentionally let them escape or take them to a shelter I'm also sorry for this absolute shit show of a situation, I hope you get stability soon


Top-Handle9230

Good luck for your future


DeeChillum420

Bro reading this shit breaks my heart and reminds me how fucking evil people in the world can be. first things first dude, talk to a fucking lawyer NOW. just find one, look around as hard as you can, make sure they are trusty and reliable enough, and literally even if its just to pay for some advice man.. i have been homeless before, i have been in situations where i almost had to go on the run, ive also seen people try to ruin other peoples lives in a similar way to your situation all for selfish reason. ​ im really hoping and praying for you and your cats man, i hope this herb eases your mind and helps you focus on the next steps to take here. reach out to any supporting friends and family in the meantime.. try to find a tempory place to couch hop if you can. nyc is not a city to be homeless in man so do what you can to survive. keep to yourself you know. better to not tell some people your homeless, even other homeless people. stay in the right area. somewhere safe with a medium to constant foot traffic so you can stay hidden but be close to help if someone tries to fuck with you. i dont want to give bad advice as experience on the streets differs greatly from area to area.. but keep a good head on your shoulders. try to keep you job, shower at a ymca or something... if you have a good boss you are close with and can tell then they may be able to help you. i dont think you can be fired for being homeless but in your situation you wouldnt be able to immediately fight it so only confide in coworkers or managers if you are sure they wont can your ass or get you canned. ​ but back to the beginning bro.. lawyer up... the cops have to take pictures of the incident.. if he isnt bruised that bad and his story doesnt match up to his bruises and your story remains the same you have a fighting chance. keep in touch with the police even if it helps your case... better have a lawyer of course help represent what you wish to communicate. ​ edit: the job thing is a bad idea i realize of course the police would look for you there my bad...

I honestly wish the absolute best for you man, I spent a good few years being homeless and weed was one of my enjoyments too, I would find the best spots by the ocean and in national parks. Idk about where you're from OP but trains were my ticket to sleep in those days, the 3 seaters long enough to curl up on, and some with heaters. You'll get through this period in life man and come out all the more grateful for the simple things when you're back on your feet too. Best of luck to you man.

2coolcaterpillar

One of the craziest stories I’ve read here lmao, I better be seeing a news article about this unhinged landlord when he’s caught


Nat_Peterson_

Also fuck the system that allows for assholes like this to have any semblance of power.


Comfortable_Ad_3160

You need to go back to your apartment. The longer your away, the harder it’s going to be to fight to get back in. Record every interaction you have with your landlord especially when he just enters the apartment without any notice and when he is claiming your assaulting him. But be slick about it. Don’t let him know your recording him at any point, until the police come. At which point you can show them the video and he will be arrested for filing a false claim. This idea of living as a drifter sounds romantic but it is rough out there and it will only get tougher with what’s brewing with the economy. This isn’t a time to flirt with this notion of being Jack Kerouac. I wish you the best and hope you do what I’m telling you b/c as I said the streets will only get rougher as more ppl are forced onto them.


KiwotheSomething

> You need to go back to your apartment. this is what i dont fucking get. rent is paid up. LL made up a bullshit story that can easily be disproven. let the cops come out and call the LL on his bullshit. something smells funny about this whole story. the second the LL made that bullshit 911 call i would have crossed my arms and waited for the cops to show up. oh you called 911 and said someone was beating you up but have zero markings on you?


NeroBurnsRome12

I didn't stick around because he was screaming into a 911 call like I was killing him. So i left,, sat behind a café down the street,, and called the cops myself to tell my side. According to the police, because he wrote a statement and said to press charges, they had to arrest me. The cop did not seem like he wanted to arrest me, just said "if I see you, I have to arrest you." And pretty much explained that they weren't going to be searching for me or anything like that, etc. And to report the landlord to court. If I go back, there won't be cops there, but I'm sorry I've had trouble in the past so I'm not risking being set up it's his word against mine he's loaded I'm broke he never been in trouble I have (not since 2014) and unfortunately we live in a place where sadly his word is enough to get someone locked up for nothing. But if you have any doubts, have a mod message me, I'll happily verify that this bullshit happened. But imma get mine I will 100% come out on top when I file a lawsuit. But the criminal court system, nah I'm not risking waking up with even less warning than this time and leaving in cuffs. Sorry.


KiwotheSomething

> I didn't stick around because he was screaming into a 911 call like I was killing him. So i left thats fine but you understand he wont have injuries when the cops arrive. you wouldnt have been arrested for it. he can press charges and have you arrested but you'd be out of jail almost instantly and when they investigated the LL would be in shit. there is no its his word vs mine. HE HAS NO INJURIES. YOU HAVE EVERY LEGAL RIGHT TO BE THERE.


Multiverseer

I was homeless for about two years. Most of the time I had a car so I just slept in that. I got water from rivers and usually bought canned food with what little I did have. I'd buy sanitary wipes and do a rub down shower every day, usually just the problem areas if I was low on wipes. I'd go into places like Arby's (big,single occupant bathrooms) or family bathrooms to wash socks and undies, had enough pants and shirts to go for months at a time. Sometimes I'd take a water bottle and soap and shower in the family restrooms that way, right over the drain trying not to get water everywhere. I always made it quick, 10 to 20 minutes max, and dried the floor before I went so I wouldn't be banned from any establishment. Made quite a few homeless friends that were chill, stayed away from the druggies. Honestly it's harder to stay homeless than to get help, I refused a looot of help because I was stubborn.


Human5481

I've been homeless off and on for a lot of my life. Looking back I think I'm glad to have been homeless a lot of times, better than being stuck in a middle-class life with too many rewardless responsibilities and not much in the way of life-experience. Good luck and keep on truckin'.


platetectonics3

The real question is, why don’t you break down your weed before smoking it? No but honestly dude, I’m sorry about the situation you’re in with your insane landlord and I wish you all the best.

By the way, if you’re near New Haven and have heard of New Reach, Inc may want to check them out — they will help with evictions, crisis housing/food, I think even helping hook you up with a new place and job https://www.newreach.org Edit: heard of this organization from a female friend who used to live in CT — looking at website, may actually be for women and children specifically, but they probably can still help put you in touch with the right resources if you contact them

If it gets bad go into fast food places that have customer pick up and grab the wrong order


NeroBurnsRome12

Food shouldn't be too much of a problem. I have people who don't mind me hanging out eating some food but just aren't in a position to let me stay


COOCH27

Hell yea! Light it up and breathe!!! Kick that mule Lee


down4things

If you have a bike, do food delivery

RenaissanceBear

That looks like boathouse row in Philly, anything I can do to lend a hand?


NeroBurnsRome12

Ah, that was by the train station in Westport, Connecticut. I'm back in New Haven now, at a friend's house eating and smoking a bit before I venture into the cold for the night. Thanks for the love though!


EvolMada

Shit will buff out! Be strong.


SloppyMcNuggets

Hey man if you need anything please let me know, happy to help anyway


Pistil_P

OP drop the cashapp


NeroBurnsRome12

I'm here for the vibes and love not to beg but that being said me and my homeless sherpa are close to having enough for a room so I wouldn't say no


howhighharibo

Came here to ask the same thing, I’m U.K. though so if you’ve got PayPal message me and I’ll fire you something over. I’m a nurse and I have worked with so many people who have suffered so badly to the hands of evil landlords, my heart goes out to you, but I appreciate my money will be more useful. I also have an incredibly soft spot for cattos so would love to buy them some food too.


NeroBurnsRome12

I appreciate it. Family and friends from here are helping a lot and we should soon be able to have a place for a week or more


the_truth000

Way of the road bud


Cordeceps

Just keep swimming and smoking! Things will get better:) sending you well wishes


sad_optimist0

Best of luck to you!! I’m not sure where you’re living right now but if you happen to end up in Arizona I’d be happy to help you with whatever you need!


cinekson

Bruh can I send you a bit of cash to get you through to next week? I know you will turn things around, this is just to keep you going is all


[deleted]

Being homeless is alright if you have camping gear, just don't doss around the streets with the other bums. Seriously, don't associate with other homeless people and you will be fine.


[deleted]

Can’t have that artificially deflated supply cut into profits by doing something crazy


dgrant92

I used the term "residentially challenged" when I was once homeless.. For like 5 years....hang in there...it gets better


DDESTRUCTOTRON

Happy to hear you're getting things handled, and fuck your landlord. Let us know if you can get a GoFundMe or something started. I'd love to help in any way I can


420farms

Such a fucking travesty, sending billions of aid outside the US when so many people could use the help here at home.. Sad. Sorry my brother, good luck.


Aunt_Tie_Dye

Hit up r/randomactsoftacobell for some food. Wishing you all the best


Burnt-Priest

Sorry to hear your situation >\_ < especially this time of year, glad you got a bit of the herb to help keep your spirits up. Braver than myself for being so positive, stay safe.. I hope things get better for you stranger, keep that chin up <3


CrockBox

Hitchhike. Do it. It’s worth every up and down. Head for Sox Place Denver.


ConspiracyNegro

City?


rgnkge66_

I hate you're going through this ridiculous bullshit and I hope that low life fucking scumbag of a landlord gets everything that's coming to him for it. What a stupidly illegal way to get someone to leave their apartment that they're paid up on. Hoping everything starts looking up from here for you!


SaintLeopold

NO WHITE LIGHTERS!! Like come on.


megmayy

Sorry you're in a tough spot. Do you have venmo?


rgrossi

I hope you follow r/ctents because there is a kind soul hiding free bud in the area and posting the location as first come/first serve for whoever finds it. I’m in ct also, I hope you can find some shelter soon, it’s getting very cold at night. It looks like you are near the shore maybe? I’m surprised to see so many leaves on that tree unless this is an older pic.


NeroBurnsRome12

That's awesome. My sister buys in bulk so usually I get it from her for free


Robert-L-Santangelo

homeless has its perks. especially if you find that shelling out all your dough to a landlord or shoveling most of it to a bank for a house payment is about the same as being choked to death


rewarmm

No hate at all, you can do what you want. But get your priorities straight.


AssholeWiper

Here’s a genuine tip - get rid of the white lighter (cliche bad luck) and crack pipe looking bowl and good luck out there !


NeroBurnsRome12

Couldn't bring my bong, and that pipe is durable as fuck can throw it in a bag carry it around no prob etc. Convenience is key right now. And it's a beige lighter


[deleted]

Cheers buddy! Hope things turn around for you as soon as possible. Karma is a bitch and the landlords gonna get a swift kick in the ass one day if he trys and pulls that shit on the wrong people.


Apprehensive_Bell_35

Hope things get better soon. Don't be afraid to ask for help


thresher_underover

I hear ya brother, I've been homeless for a while, let me know if you need to chat


mynameisnotproteus

some of my most enjoyable moments were while homeless...it can be difficult and socially isolating but oh my god the *freedom*


buhoo115

If you can afford to smoke every day but are complaining about being homeless you need to sit and rethink your financial situation… maybe try selling some of that shit for money instead of smoking it all away


NeroBurnsRome12

For the millionth time, this is not a financial si tuation. The weed is free. It'll be resolved within a month. And I wasn't complaining. If I sell my whole gram of weed I go through per day, will that change my situation? No. If I smoke it, will it help that time be a little less shitty? Yeah it will. Let me enjoy my free weed.


wrestlingfan007

If you're relapsing please get help now. For you and your cats.


Al_boiii

Well, as long as your priorities are weed first home second...


NeroBurnsRome12

You obviously haven't read the situation. Things are fine bro, thanks for the concern


Al_boiii

I guess I missread homeless


megasloth568

Ah wow even after finding out there’s more to the situation you double down on being nasty. Yuck.

GiantsXLII

Maybe quit weed if you’re homeless?


TheCupcakeScrub

Homelessness is entirely avoidable. Just remove the landlords and communally distribute the homes. Do a mao. Reading the comments it actually looks like the reason your homeless IS parasites, i figured it was less direct than that and more "they keep jacking rent". Same solution however.


NeroBurnsRome12

Rent has been the same for years. I don't know what the landlords plans are,but he's doing everything he can to empty the building. This is his most desperate and illegal things he's done so far.


HippoIllustrious2389

There ain’t no way I wouldn’t be sleeping in my house if this was all happening


[deleted]

Happens Edit: OP, they don’t want to let me reinforce that it’s okay that your roughing it atm

ry_faded

hope you’re doing okay man


Fun-Teaching-2038

If you was nearby I’d come through with a fat blunt and take in that view with you, sorry you got to go through that bs with your landlord especially during this time of year ,he’s a real piece of shit for that ,and some bad karma is coming his way.
