For a whole lot of homeless people the answer is nothing. Nothing happened. They just slowly slid into homelessness as they were slowly priced out of society.
About a month ago I was at the gas station filling up my 24 year old clunker when a homeless guy came up and asked if I would give him enough money for a coffee. I was going to lie and say I didn't have cash on me, but it occurred to me that I'm one bad day from being in his shoes every moment, so I checked the emergency stash I kept in my car and on impulse just gave him the whole pile of it. Idk how much it was, not a ton, but a handful of ones and maybe a $5 or a $10. And yeah, a week ago, that bad day happened. My husband dumped me via text message, and now I'm very, very close to homelessness in the next few weeks or months if I can't find a place to go soon. It's not always drugs, or addiction, or laziness. Sometimes it's making what look like good decisions and just getting fucked over.
You don't have to make any bad decisions for some EggHead in Accounting to lay you off, or for you to find out you have cancer, Or for you to be hit by a run away driver leaving you unable to work.
The possibilities are literally endless and most of them are no one's fault but the system we live in.
Your husband not even having the guts to tell you in person is awful. I wish I could punch him in the throat. I know the universe isn't necessarily fair, but damn I hope that your little (and at the same time grand) act of kindness will somehow come back to you with positive karma or luck or whatever you want to call it. And I deeply wish you to find and maintain stability in your life soon - financially, mentally, and with better and more reliable and loving people in your life. Fuck that husband of yours.
I'm sorry. Nobody deserves this. I hope you can get some help with rent.
I shut down a business to take care of my dad after my mom passed away.
Tfw 10 dollars might not be much over there but it can buy two meals where I live :')
And it could happen to you too!
Oh it nearly did. A couple times. My wife and I are pretty secure now though.
People’s inability to understand what “pov” means will never not infuriate me
"mfw": am I a joke to you?
I give everything leeway when it comes to memes… including things like “pov”
That's the attractive and well-dressed homeless man who talks to OP whimsically instead of with eye contact.
“So I was on social media, shit posting, upvoting stuff without reading the article, and complaining about brands of smartphones that I didn…”
Oh fuck.
Are you spying on me to make memes ?
Reality is just a simulation that forms around you and the 'internet' is a big part of that, it takes way less effort to render everything into a small 2D square in your hands than if u look up.
Also applicable for people talking about autism, depression and most physical ailments
....and that's when I discovered the amazing world of meth!
Right and found the part that our stories diverge at every time.
Real similar up to the meth though.Hey, don't undersell yourself. There's still time to try meth. You only need to do it once.
(Disclaimer: You should never ever ever try meth, even once. The euphoria is better and more addictive than masterbation. Just try to quit masturbating permanently - you'll have an easier time that trying to quit meth.)
