Meatball Man

I don’t want to talk too much about what’s around me just out of data privacy reasons but I appreciate the help. I’ll figure it out. I’ve been living like this for years and I’m fine.

There is but it’s not a walk in affair. It has too many people depending on it and not enough food. I’m not exaggerating when I say unless you show up 4 to 5 hours early, there’s a solid chance you won’t be getting anything. It only runs every first and third Wednesday of a. Month, and you need proof of residency, a utility bill, a photo ID, and proof you’re on ebt to get signed up. It’s not a reliable source of food. Once or twice a year If there is simply no other way I’ll take the gamble and wait and hope I get there early enough to get something good, but I usually try to fend for myself.

I live in a very rual area and they have very limited resources for people who need help. We don’t have any public transportation whatsoever. It’s not an easily surviveable place for people in poverty, I’m extremely lucky to have a job out here. I just don’t have the resources to leave. No family, no real friends, no money or savings. It’s a bad situation. I’ve been in it for years.

I appreciate the help and advice, but I’m not a good target for it.

I was homeless for just shy of five years a little over a decade ago before I got help and eventually got where I am now. It’s not much, it’s not a good situation, but it’s better than where I was and there’s hope of it improving. I’m doing a lot better than the vast majority of the people I knew back then.

I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Yeah I’m on Medicare but I only get like 37 a month or something on ebt. I’m making too much money for most public assistance as I’ve been on disability for something for decades, but I managed to find a job with decent pay I can actually hold and have been trying to get fully independent. It hasn’t been going well. I’m making too much money for help, but not enough to live.

Still a hell of a lot better where I was like a decade ago. I used to be entirely homeless before I got help. I’m barely surviving but at least I’m doing it with a roof over my head. My situation sucks but I’m one of the lucky ones. Most people like me just fall through the cracks and never get back out.

I’m already on a 1 meal a day over the course of the entire day diet due to poverty. Like not even a big meal. Today my entire days supply of food is going to be a sandwich. I don’t think I need to skip my only meal for the day.

I actually am very lucky to do a lot of foraging that when it’s a good year, supplement what little foods I can buy so it’s not all bad, but I am not eating well. I don’t think many people in America are right now.

Jonathan Greenblat can smile and blow me.

Also fuck Isreal.

I don’t hate Ai because Ai is a tool. I hate the people who are misusing, and mismanaging it. The people building datacenters in the worst ways and worst places possible, the people trying to force feed it to the world regardless of their consent, people who know all of the massive risks of agi and yet don’t seem to care, there’s are so many bad things to dislike about the ways it’s being used that I could be here all day.

But at the end of the day, if someone is using something to hurt you, you don’t hate the tool, you hate the person using the tool.

Oh that’s way more intelligent and scientifically grounded than what I was going for… So I assume this means I cannot mark you as down as “Ass-Kin”

Wait. You’re saying that you were born from a dirty asshole and so was I? Does that mean we’re siblings?

This is not execution. These people have done nothing wrong. This is mass murder.

Because the people in charge of managing llms are shit. They were all birthed from a dirty asshole.

I would be really happy that my kid is so successful. I’m not a father, but if I was, I’d want my kid to succeed and have a better life than I did. My only concern is why he felt the need to hide it from me. I’ve never been a money hungry guy, and I’d try to create an environment where my kid feels safe, and able to talk about what’s going on in his life. So if he felt the need to hide that from me, I’d want to know if it was something I did or failed to do so I can be a better father.

Best News I heard all night.

That’s a step in the right direction. Since I’m not a mind reader I couldn’t tell you.

That’s good news. As long as the Minnesota government doesn’t worship Trump, this stain can face some justice.

I’ve honestly thought about it a lot. I’ve been struggling with self harm for years and all of the world news and seeing all the terrible things Maga is doing both to its own citizens and the world have made me ramp things up with the burning considerably. My whole left arm is pretty much just scar tissue at this point, it’s extremely bad.

I blame myself for it,even though it’s illogical. I didn’t vote for the guy but I’m American so this country’s sins are mine too. Sometimes I tell myself that if I die the world will be a better place because it has one less American in it.

It’s not healthy for sure but it’s more important than ever to know what’s going on so I keep watching and I keep on burning.

Plus in a sick way maybe it’s good in burning myself. It’s a small form of justice.

Don’t follow my example though. I’m very obviously not well in the head. You should most definitely try to get some help if you’re having thoughts like that. I’m the example of what not to do in a mental health crisis.

In before Trump pardons this man like the evil fuck he is and sets the precedence for every ice agent in America that it’s ok to just kill anyone you want for any reason.

I garuntee you it’s going to happen, Trump wants a full on genocide, the dude practically worships Hitler. Maga at this point is a terrorist faction.

Cats clearly like milk. They wouldn’t drink it if they didn’t like it.

Cats SHOULDN’T drink cows milk because it’s bad for them.

Chocolate is famously toxic to dogs and they’ll still happily eat it.

An animal doesn’t have the awareness realize “hey this is bad for me to eat, I should avoid it”. If it smells and tastes good, they’ll eat it. It’s why a responsible pet owner has to keep an eye on what the animal is eating to ensure they’re not eating anything that can hurt them. Because the pet certainly isn’t going to do that.

You seem to be confused. This is ASK Lemmy, not state things to lemmy.
