that's typically what I expected from the American system. The community can take care of these fucks.
There's pictures of them with it before and after they sliced it open and tied it to the fence. You their friend or something?
Can totally vouch for this manipulative and super aggressive behavior. Traveled with him for a few weeks a couple years back and had to eventually part ways because it was just too fucking much.
I'm so glad you got the fuck away from him @dumpsternavel . I remember a conversation we had around...
Uncolored, cotton, loose fitting underwear is usually what's recommended for breathability. Basically, the most unattractive underpants you can think of will be, medically, the best.
Carry a washcloth with you and freshen up in single-person bathrooms as often as possible. I like to use tea tree oil, also. I'm not an essential oil nut, but tea tree oil can be your friend. It's anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. So it'll help disinfect the washcloth, and yourself, without...
I also have a ton of student loan debt from ten years ago that I defaulted on. No wage garnishment because I don't make any wages. They don't call me anymore because I NEVER answered the calls. And the ones I had through Chase were discharged. So I don't have to pay it back but I do have to...
Read the post in the link from my one of my previous comments! This is why I, and apparently Hillbilly Castro, feel DJ is a prime example of someone who can benefit from reform, rather than ostracization. I've spent a good amount of time with DJ and I can tell you he is not like this when he...
Shunning him from the only community he has to turn to for support is not going to keep anyone safe. It's more likely to make him drink more. Putting him and others that he drinks around in danger.
At this point, DJ. You have no memory of the incident but you do have people trying to fill it...

I believe this is what Hillbilly meant by trying to reform him. And, honestly, I agree with him. DJ isn't a predator. He gets touchy feely when he gets drunk. Maybe now that it's presented as...
The she wee is overrated and difficult to use in my opinion. Family Dollar sells multipurpose funnels with a nice curve. It works perfectly and is only a buck. Or a large cup from any fast food restaurant. Not as convenient as a bottle because you have to dump it immediately but it's better than...
There are definitely lots in Niland with trailers but it's super depressing. It's a serious shithole unless you like meth. The north won't have anywhere that you can stay long term. 2 week limit on most places. But if you're willing to pay to live in Niland you could pay for a lot literally...
We're in Sacramento and have some extra room if you can pitch for gas or jug. We do have a cat though. Whom former travel companions have described as "exceptionally rude". So....plan accordingly. Lol
Believe it. 107 tomorrow, too. Stay cool, @Dragononn We'll be back to the west coast eventually. I think we'll stick to the Northeast for awhile, though.
Jake and I spend every. second. together. And for the most part we enjoy each other's company and we tend to keep to ourselves and not meet new people when we aren't in a slab city-like environment. So can we even consider ourselves poly anymore or are we just in an "open-relationship" just for...
Sacramento is full of home bums. All that gentrification....I'm surprised you found a place at all. Where you headed to next? There's a ton of free camping up near Tahoe.
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has a few things to say on the subject of towels.
A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have. Partly it has great practical value—you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of...
Unless they have a vanity plate, most drivers don't memorize their license plates. It could make for a super awkward ride, especially if they were already skeptical about your own trustworthiness, as some drivers are when picking up hitchhikers. Instead of taking a picture and sending it you...
Here's some pictures from our recent trip from Slab City to PA and everywhere in between.

I remember someone at the jambo had a life straw and they had some issues with it. Clogging or poor suction maybe? The Jambo is a blur at this point so if anyone else remembers wtf I'm talking about please chime in.
This is the problem. The media, legal system, and majority of the population DON'T doubt that yes means yes. And they DO doubt that no means no. If there's a yes, there's consent. Case closed, no rape. If there's a no, "are you sure you meant it?" This is precisely why 2 out of 3 rapes are...
If all you're trying to say, in so many words, is that verbal consent isn't necessarily necessary, then just fucking say that. Enthusiastic consent doesn't equal verbal consent. If you can't tell whether someone is enthusiastically trying to fuck you as opposed to just *shrug* agreeing to...
When most people think of rape, they think of gun-to-the-head physical violence. This quote definitely applies to that idea of rape. Because most gun-to-the-head rapists have made the conscious decision to rape. Not to commit a crime, because no one thinks "I'm gonna commit a crime today". No...
Why is that teenager desperate for male attention if she doesn't believe she exists only to please men? Why on earth would she be "desperate" for male attention? Hint: rape culture. She doesn't actually want to have sex. She's doing it because she thinks that's what she's supposed to do. While...
I was detained by border patrol in Texas for a day. They had a kennel outside that my cat had to stay in (about 10 feet from the passing trucks and cars). He was terrified. I bothered them every chance I could get to check on him until they finally got so annoyed they let me take him out to our...
Apologies for the miscommunication. Not everything was directed toward you. And although I emphasized "for the same task", I was actually more interested in emphasizing that primates also get very upset when they see another primate receiving LESS than them.
If you're referring to the same study that I think you are (and I think you are because I failed to locate any studies of similarity) then you misunderstood the real implications of the results. It wasn't simply that the primates were upset that one was being paid better (in grapes rather than...
I'll be heading to NOLA in a few days with my 20ft trailer. Any suggestions on where I can park it? There's a five year old post relating to this but I'd like some fresh suggestions since the parking laws are ever changing.
I haven't needed an ER in my travels yet. But once I got to the slabs I got MediCal and tried to go to the clinic in Niland to be referred somewhere for my migraines. The "doctor" was wearing soooo much perfume it actually triggered a migraine. She refused to refer me until she "established a...
I've been rubber tramping with my partner for almost a year. Haven't been home yet, but I'd like to think I won't be reclusive while I'm home. We do tend to be pretty reclusive while we're on the road. We stay in a lot of national forests and BLM land and it is so much simpler to not have to...
Train her to travel on your shoulder. That's the best place for a traveling cat. In a strange place, she may not be able to navigate back to where you are if she doesn't mark shit. So let her scratch and rub everything. Definitely don't skimp on the training. Buy/lift a clicker. They're small...
Anyone in the Slab City area right now? I saw some news related to an earthquake swarm under the Salton sea and just wanted to make sure everyone was alright and hear about the experience.
Pretty stoked about this. Jay's coming up with some campaign ideas. He can DM if needed, but I know he'd rather be a player. We were at one of those pay by the pound goodwills yesterday and found a bunch of double-sided gaming map pieces which probably ended up costing a couple cents a piece...
What about Knots? I can't give a workshop about knot tying but I'd definitely be interested in participating. And some of y'all might not realize that your knot knowledge base could be super beneficial to some of us who can barely tie our shoes. Lol
Jay and I plan to hang around slab city for awhile. We'll probably be showing up sometime in the first week of Oct, or later. Who knows. And we'll definitely be hanging around after the Jambo. I don't want to commit to anything in particular just yet. But we'll definitely be around to help with...
