    Middle-Eastern Background, Would I have problems Hitchhiking the west coast?

    No kidding. I can't get over how negative and miserable the fucking vibe is in Michigan. Fuck this place hard. Everybody stays in line and follows the fucking rules.

    One night in LA always crazy shit

    LA scares me for the same sorta reasons Las Vegas does. ... I wanna do non-hard drugs and end up somewhere safe, not dead in a dumpster (sorry, huge cliche and probably just me being really paranoid). Now if I had GROWN UP in a big city... then I likely wouldn't be scared to p[arty at all.

    PTSD, jail, mental health

    I have a counselor but I don't like her so far. I prefer group therapy like alcoholics anonymous. The problem with counseling is I'm scared of it - so it's harder to get access to for myself. I wish I got more help finding the right counselour and making appointments. .... I take medication...

    Looking for companions to start a small settlement

    I'm in southeast michigan but upstate NY is pretty close by. I don't wanna leave the security of setting my own hours with GrubHub and DoorDash in the low-traffic region of Ann Arbor.

    PTSD, jail, mental health

    It sucks to not only be imprisoned and damaged in my mind but also to be on probation, facing a new felony charge, can't leave the state. I'm trapped physically and mentally. Without any friends and not enough family love and support, it's like I'm stuck spiritually/mentally as well. Yeah...

    Im only 28 and i feel like i have wasted my life...

    I wish there was sober living or transitional housing places that allowed marijuana use or even occasional, responsible alcohol use. It's an all or nothing illusion and fantasy from the world of addiction treatment and the cult of alcoholics anonymous.

    Im only 28 and i feel like i have wasted my life...

    ... I guess you could say my problems started in my mid 20s as I totally failed to transition to any type of long-term stable adult lifestyle. I take effexor 150mg at night - I've beent taking it since I was 16, and now I take Trileptal 300mg twice a day as a mood stabilizer (doesn't do anything)

    Im only 28 and i feel like i have wasted my life...

    That's an incredible story. I feel like I've wasted my life too, being poor and having no work ethic whatsoever and getting by from my parents financial help. You've had it way easier than me but I really struggle with loneliness and depression and can't stand the idea of a sober living house -...

    All I want to do is drink beer, ride trains, and be free...

    I'm poor and lonely and will be on probation for a year. My job is lonely but I just deliver food for UberEats basically, it's up and down and I rarely get motivated or dedicated enough to save any money. I spend it all on weed and wax (aka weed crack)

    All I want to do is drink beer, ride trains, and be free...

    It's encouraging to see somebody go from being really poor to having a good job that they like and are around the same age as me. Well, you've been doing it for 8 years, so you're way better off than me. Umm, but as long as you have some money saved up then there's no risk in changing careers...

    I'm glad I wrote about this. This website seems big enough and there's enough diversity of experiences to help me feel less alone. I'm not sure I could get useful responses or anybody reaching out to help anywhere else online.

    PTSD, jail, mental health

    The more I suffer and the worse I'm feeling, the more it seems that nobody cares about me and the stigma is too scary and too strong for people to really reach out and take time to talk to me and show they really care and are trying to help. It's so rude and offensive to me when somebody asks...

    PTSD, jail, mental health

    Yeah that's the thing is I feel so much shame and isolation from the paranoia about it. Maybe people do recognize me as dangerous or desperate somehow and that could be part of the problem of me facing rejection and loneliness often. If feels like the world is out to get me when I suffer a lot...

    PTSD, jail, mental health

    I'm wondering if anybody else has PTSD from being in 23-hour lockdown (administrative segregation, not solitary confinement but close). I was just a number in the system, a bored, poor person that got drunk and spraypainted a building saying "fuck war 4 oil" and it happened to be a federal...

    Getting a non registered dog onto Greyhound

    I guess that's one of the benefits of dealing with a large corporation that has to follow interstate federal laws. It's a bit like the Freedom Riders back in the 1960s.

    Pacifism in Anarchism

    Democracy just needs some more consensus added to make it safer for individual rights. I was kicked out of a cooperative house based on a 51% vote. It was stupid and unfair.

    Lonely Anarchist

    I'm gonna get a cat but I'm nervous about it. My sister is a teacher and has twin 4 year olds and I hear what she says about how hard being a single mom is. Being poor and having kids sounds like hell for everyone.

    Lonely Anarchist

    I'm lonely in Ypsilanti, Michigan. I like stuff and I do stuff (probly similar as other humans). Mostly I just like to watch TV, read, and play video games. I'm 33 and it sucks, I feel old and I take medication for depression/bipolar. I have PTSD from solitary confinement for 6 weeks on 2011.

    Pacifism in Anarchism

    So many anarchists would say that *representative* democracy is a scam, especially in the USA where calling new elections only happens in 2, 4, or 6 month periods. Democracy is almost an essential ingredient for any government. The hard part of is figuring out how to make voting on legislation...

    Pacifism in Anarchism

    Journalism is dying and being consolidated so rapidly - even NPR now has commercials for Wal-Mart and Goldman Sachs. Compare that to Canada where the government has public media like the CBC and the governments of Toronto and Ontario spend tons of public money to support indie magazines and...

    Pacifism in Anarchism

    Dameon and Zaphod's arguments against voting are logical and add up philosophically for the most part, but I have a hard time seeing how NOT voting is an ACTION or way of "not supporting the system." Not voting is just the LACK of an action. Like Zaphod said, arguing over whether to vote or not...

    Pacifism in Anarchism

    I lean communist but I think anarchists are more moral and are the best type of friend to have... I would argue that a coordinated general strike would be more threatening to the rich elite than any kind of violence that would be immediately defeated. When England occupied India, Indians were...

    Personal Philosophy

    I've had some really negative experiences in recent yeas and lost touch with all of my old friends. Life has become isolating, lonely, and discouraging.

    How much does your job pay? It's not auto manufacturing, is it? I think you're probably out to a good start. People say you should travel alone to make things easier, but I am just like you. I can't stand to be alone for too long (traveling). You can make small talk with people on the Greyhound...

    Best State to Register

    The regular battery was super old and since I replaced it, I've been getting 40-50 MPG and it's running a lot smoother. Just in case anybody else has a hybrid, be sure your battery is tested (not the big battery, the regular one).

    Best State to Register

    I have a 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid that I bought from a junkyard in Orange County, CA. I only get about 35 mpg but it's a well-made salvage title car that I only paid 2,200 for. A Toyota Prius is better, I agree. They get up to 45-50 MPG. It's the most common car on the road in California.

    On To The Next Adventure

    The Simple Hostel and Bamboo hostel are pretty nice and hip and downtown in the Salvadoran neighborhood. They're on airBNB too and flexible- lots of long-term people. Then there is the Oasis hostel. LA has become way too expensive. It sucks.
