If I gave you a job, that means I told 15 or 20 other people you had convinced me you would do that job better than they would. Then it takes about 3 weeks of hard training where your getting paid to learn how to do the job but cant really work solo, then about 2 months before you actually got...

Love the resolution and this response... especially "nothing is ever wrong"... One thing I figured out long ago... no action or innaction you ever take is a mistake. Whatever decision you make in any situation, involves the info you have at the time, your mindset, and a bazillion other factors...

"But there's good news - When we become securely rooted in self-trust and personal freedom, we don't have to shit on other people's work to feed a fragile ego." "Yeah, it checks out, he sounds like the kind of person who "worked in adolescent mental health for 12 years," this is the typical...

IDK, kinda sounds fun playing spot the hidden encampment with a $1000.00 drone... my family used to vacation in PB in the 70's and 80s. was a nice little beach town... little beach cottages... fairly cheap... all of that got replaced by giant hotels, bars, corporate restaurants, mini-malls...

On another thread somebody is suggesting living like this should be a guaranteed right. the questions I asked were: who picks up the garbage? who pays for the water? Where does the poop go? and got called a fascist for it. If I owned a house against that wall (the one opposite the river... I...

ugg god I wanna write "just full of fail" here too, because just like the other one you start out wrong, then go wrong for a long time, and I just don't want to spend all that time picking apart a broken argument... but you're kind of demanding it so... 1) he did not say he did not know why he...

Maybe it's different for me, small town right? I hang out with the cops, have coffee with em at the all night gas station, debate politics... etc.. Their good guys. If I got trouble... some really drunk dude threatening me with a huge ass box cutter cause I told him to turn his music down at 2...

Juan- Pismo/san luis obispo is where a hell of a lot of cargo trains slow down after coming through the mountains and the first place they hit the coast, smack dab in the middle of frisco and LA, so this is where a lot of travelers hop off. We get a lot of hobo villages near by, in the summer...

Cool, I can give you a 4th type and a lil suggestion that may help... the hotel where I work, occasionally guests will throw away documents that have credit card info on them, like old bording passes, past dated online event tickets, etc. or we've shredded documents that have sensitive info on...

Well... you really dont need anything until you really do. Sometimes you really need something you dont have or have already gotten rid of. I think fear of that is one of the factors that creates horders. As a side note, you forgot one thing you really need that isn't on your list... human...

Great wiki, read it all. But I think you need to go re-read it. Reductionism can be beneficial and does not in itself create fallacy. Example: All matter is made of energy and non energy. Completely true and completely reductionist.

There is no such thing as a selfless action. None. Every action you take benifits you in some way. Just like there is no such thing as true altruism. Even if you annonymously gave all your money to some needy guy and didnt tell anyone about it ever, you'd still feel good about it. You'd still...

Got priors George? I've called cops on dumpster divers I've already told to leave. Bout half the time they get arrested for warrents and go away in newspaper taxis. The other half never come back after the cops talk to em. As a side note, I tell em the local grocery store is cool with giving...

Yeah, was not in support of 40k trump. Just suggesting what is going to happen if you think "older voters" are going to save you from Trump. And highwayman, your missing soooo much.... the semi secrete chain link fema camps they've built all over the nation near railway lines, the fact that we...

Wow, so you lie to your boss, pretend to do the job he's paying you to do, so you can what... feel your living more honestly in line with your philosophical beliefs? Why dont you just tell your boss your going to let people go through the ash trays, dumpster, etc. That you dont want to do that...

Lol of course its NYT and they somehow managed to blame Trump for people using the word where it absolutely does not apply, but I agree overuse of the word makes it meaningless. I sort of think the same thing happened on the right with overuse of the terms "SJW" and "snowflake"... but I just...

Yeah, cause saying "maybe letting a hundred+ people live outdoors with no bathroom, no fresh water source, and no means to remove garbage, could lead to a hepatitis outbreak?" Clearly I must support centralized autocratic dictatorial rule and elimination of individual rights. (Facepalm) You...

Older generations are the ones who voted for him and think hes doing an awesome job. Trump goes on the news and says "if the Dems wont make a deal I'll have no choice but to declare a state of emergency." Old people say "see it's the Dems fault! They dont wanna stop cop killing rapist human...

Our hotel says "our bathroom is for guest use only, its not public." And we kick em out and if they start heading towards the ashtray or dumpster we tell em to leave or we're calling the cops. And if theres no free bathroom at a coffee shop nearby your supposed to buy a .50 cent cookie at mc...

But its not some shady hidden billionare club. Public funds those kinds of city developments. Generally regular voters are against spending that money as there are other emergencies they'd rather spend public funds on other than the needs of homeless.

Everyone on here says they want radical change in government, social structure, elimination of capitalism, destruction of traditional values and social norms... you think that kind of change happens when the majority of people are happy and mostly satisfied with their government? Do I really...

Just get a bucket, drop trow, and scrub your infested taint on a busy street corner. Promise somebody will make sure you get access to a shower real fast. Jesus I can't believe this convo.

But it's always the same problem... we need to build more homeless shelters, more warming rooms, more public bathrooms, more free pools and showers, more services for poor and disenfranchised... but the people who are working, paying taxes, and voting generally don't want to pay for it and the...

I see, so because somebody horribly victimized you, (seemingly in a way that will effect every aspect of your life forever) anyone in that profession, who holds views counter to your own, must also be a horrible victemizer. I really don't know what to say to that.

Well as an anarchist wouldn't a state of emergency declaration be awsome for you? I mean anarchy wouldn't happen if the government was moderate and short reaching, operating on minimal powers. .. But state of emergency declaration, super expanding of presidential powers to battle rebellion and...

You clearly feel very good about what you did. The pleasure of doing right by your ride or die, of fufilling a sense of honor was worth the pain of enduring sleeplessness, physical and emotional discomfort, etc. If anything, pushing through those difficulties just makes your self satisfaction...

Nope. He's a corrupt idiot, but about on the same level as Hillary. That was a "wargames" election, "no matter who wins, we all lose."

Baby wipes are essentially just baby oil aka mineral oil, same with the no rinse shower (just baby oil w a kind of foaming additive) and its dirt cheap, giant bottle for a couple bucks. Id also suggest talcum powder or gold bond also dirt cheap and will stop you from getting a rash.

Im just waiting for this to start happening...

I worked in adolescent mental health for about 12 years, finishing up that part of my life in a dual masters therapist position working for a state facility. My sister once came to me and said "im worried I'm screwing up my kids!" And told me a few of the ways she thought she was negitively...

Just full of fail.

Yes, I think I completely understand this "intellectual" mindset now. Anyone who pays taxes is a war criminal, no one is innocent, so its ok to rob them or ruin their lives in benifit of yours. Its necessary and justifiable. Brilliant. Ps. Most gutter punks never grow up. They just die really...

I am confuse "New #1 We should be allowed to sleep under all shelters that are not where people sleep inside of unless we have gotten their permission. (Store fronts, pavilions, play grounds, etc)" Ok, so bus stop, people who want to use the bus want to sit down while waiting for the bus and...

There are only two reasons humans take any action. 1. To avoid pain. 2. To gain pleasure. Both reasons are selfesh. Please describe any action a human might take that could not be attributed to one of these two reasons.

https://shop.tillamook.com/cheese-5-medium.html Guess you guys don't spend a lot at grocery stores or spend a lot of time around gutter punks cause ofc no gutter punk shoplifts or uses "evil capitalist facists" to justify it. Oh yeah... highwayman... thats like a road bandit armed robber...

Heh capitalist mega-machine hotels do not operate under the same laws mom an pop companies do? Not even close? Got news for ya, the largest hotel chain in the world, with 5 million+ guests a day staying at their chain, is entirely franchise based and each hotel is individually owned and...

Ignorant and corrupt capitalist majority? Sure sounds like you hate this society. Is there also room for a well educated non-corrupt capitalist minority in your world view or are all capitalists and people who believe in meritocracy automatically considered ignorant and corrupt? Sure I can...

I don't really buy that ignorance is the grand evil of humanity, as if well educated and so called enlightened individuals were not most often those behind the worst atrocities mankind has ever produced. Humans are essentially just apes looking for more bannannas so they can mate more often...

I am right-wing about some things, left on others. Crackpot... hummm probably, though sanity is a value judgenent. I wasn't lucky to find this employer, I worked other jobs for about 30 years before finding an employer who was worthy of loyalty trust and respect. And though Ive been offered...

Firstly... young kid?!? He just turned 30! "I just turned 30 and I'm trying to live my life aligned more with what I believe is right. Plus, I'm not security, I'm not getting paid for that, and it's just stressful chasing everyone around." Yes you are getting paid for that. Giving away...

Uh Oh yeah the first americans, like the Alaskan natives, like the Haida aka the american vikkings who would paddle 200 war canoes up and down the west coast slaughtering all other native settlements, enslaving the survivors and commiting human sacrifice. Or are you talking about the native...

I agree w warlo, anytime you start a convo with "there are two kinds of people in this world..." you start off wrong. There are an infinite number of kinds of people in this world. Gross generalization is always flawed. But given the premise... why is "sharing" considered a virtue? I have been...

I find your personal morals are corrupt and flawed. For two years your employer has funded your existence, you are being paid to do a job, a job you agreed to do at the best of your ability. If you find your personal or political beliefs make it difficult to do the job you're accepting payment...

All who wander are not lost... tolken

There were about 30 dudes doing the same thing near the beach in central cali, then this happened... https://www.google.com/amp/amp.sanluisobispo.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/article203718774.html 8 tons of garbage... 8 tons... please do something with your garbage, dont just throw it in...

Solar uses rare earth mineral resources for pannel production (as do the batteries of your cell phone and every hybrid car) those are running out at an alarming rate. Steam or even wood-gas dumps lots of carbon, if we all changed to that we'd blot out the sun and enjoy daily acid rain. Nuclear...

Wow man thanks, glad I could...IDK... open up something for ya there, hope things go better for ya soon, you make your own path in this twisted life but they all lead to the same place, be well.

Took a long ass time for me to figure it out, and ofc people had told me similar in the past or read it in books... but some things you just got to go through to really get it...

Well... I can't do anything about a chemical imbalance that causes non-rational fears or sadness, (that's a hardware problem) however, if your depression and/or anxiety is primarily caused by your outlook of the world and your place in it... if you adopt the outlook that nothing you do matters...

Thanks so much, glad ya liked it. lol I'm always in danger of TLDR...
