idk its not a community i have any knowledge or connection too lmao

>>70350
imo like, so many people in the US dont understand homeless people at all there are multiple types of homeless people and the majority of them WANT to be homeless

thers a lot of people who are just like I dont want a job i dont want responsibilities i dont want to do anything which honestly valid and based but you cant 'rehibilitate' someone out of their life philosophy

when I was homeless what I needed was a place to stay and store my clotheslegal documents and stuff I needed security but im also not the 'career homeless' that most homeless programs target. i worked, had a job and was always trying to get off the street and i found my way out

>>70358
wtf u psycho

xD

>>70361
dancing bear

>>70366
i just slept in train stations or the park

sometimes if it was raining a friends mom would let me stay over that night

once another friends mom let me stay over for 6 months but then they asked me too leave

>>70370
i stayed very clean and presentable

I would do my laundry and shower at my high school friends houses when hanging out I just acted non chalant about it

>>70375
some did idk

I woudl also sometimes buy nice meals and cook them at friends houses it was a double win because i would hang out with my friends and cook food for all my friends

I got trespassed from a trian station once during a literal blizzard

-10 degrees middle of winter

the cops seemed too feel really really bad about it lol

crawled underneat the train platform and just wrapped myself up until the train station opened up agian

it was only 3 hours until it opened up again

i basically lived out of my local library

power, free wifi and quiet place you dont get harassed

the only one i talked too was cool was a migrant he only stayed in new york in the summer and was homeless down south during the winter he was cool ike a mid 40s hispanic metal head

all the other ones wer elike CAREER HOMELESS like dirty unwahsed old peopel who couldnt speak

>>70392
i was in long island NYC was more dangerous so I stayed in rich neighborhoods

im white so I can get away with more

>>70394
yea shit like that is just a different catagory of homeless the problem with 'solving hte homeless problem' in the us is its a diverse problem and crowd you need different solutions for different groups

legit some people have just given up idk they are def less happy if you put them in a home that forces them to be sober

like the crazy thing is there are tons of homeless resources in the US but they all demand sobriety so no one fucking uses them lmao

i never used them when i was homeless so i cant tell u i was afraid to try i assumed I would get jumped

>>70404
it depends on the shelter u unironically have better ooptions if you are a female (by birth)

I know there are some lgbt youth options in manhatten but I was still closeted at the time

the big problem is demanding sobriety which is like

it makes sense but also most people become homeless because they just want to do drugs all day legit

i think its a uniquely american problem

>>70419
diverse groups but if you spend time with homeless they will tell you this to your face directly lmao

ive met FAR more of this type of homeless person than any other if you are chill with them and dont bullshit them they will tell you straight up they just want to sit around and do drugs lol

i worked at shelter this year lmaoo ok

im not saying there arent reasons they want to do drugs but they do just want to do drugs you just said "they want do drugs BUT' its the same picture

i was homeless for3 years on the street dude lmao ive slept next to these people and talked to them every day

I dont lol

you accuse me of projection and then say everyone wants to do drugs lmao

I think american culture is like uniquely hopeless thats why people turn to drugs

anyone who doesnt agree with me is a rightist lmao

thats not what I saidd lol thats what you reduced it too when I was talking about my experiences being homless

you sound more rightwing too me

>>70446
yea actual homeless people are rightwing for talking about their experiences they need to GET EDUCATED on the LANGUAGE

>>70454
xD i love the onion so fucking much bros

america is a cyberpunky world with lots of problems gotta get your bag and upgrade your gun

i wont judge you if you decide to assassinate health care ceos

woah this is wierd lol

transgenderism is politics

T_T

im gonna kms

I wonder how black americans felt in the 1960s/1970s when black politics was in the news constantly and literally their skin color was politically charged fml

>>70465
the virgin telomere regnerator or the brainwave accelerationist

>>70477
yea it was a 4chan meme originally so it slants nazi xD

rightoids tend to always do a false equivalency in everything they do its really common

its crazy to me that the modern alt right was born in the fires of making fun of women who dont understand video games

this steelworker is so real for this

>>70494
careful if you think anon is wrong its an insane take and rightwing

>>70497
sorry i got triggeredd

Bhudda said that the single most difficulty thing for a human to do was to forgive ignorance

its hard to forgive ignorance in ourselves or others and then people fight with each other

>>70505
no ur right im agreeing with u

>>70513
i do think it is kind of binary though how fascist or liberal a government is

>>70515
or rather its a binary spectrum

.play [YouTube]

>>70519
a binary spectrum is a spectrum of two things

>>70525
because liberalism is about prioritizing individual freedom and fascism is about prioritizing state control

oh yea sry tahts what I meant mb

most of the time the chart has authorian as the x axis

>>70531
you can do fascism without racisms you can target a religion or nowadays legbts

lgbts*

Fascism is also syncretic with other political systems like you can do fascist communism or fascist democracy its really a system of government, right? its a thing that governments can be. but idk I feel like debating the definition of fascism is dumb because from what ive seen every single person online has their own definition of fascism

each college professor and gas station worker thinks fascism is something different but also I meant authoritarianism

>>70546
yea but the political compass usually doesnt say fascism it usually says authoriarianism

I think most authoritarian rightoids tend to be fascist because rightwing is pretty much the direction you go to racism

so if you are rightwing (racist) and authoritarian ofc you want your authoritarian govt to control the group you blame for all your problems

>>70555
but its not like, inaccurate though

i love the onion so much lmao

2014 onion was so peak

yea 100% but im not fighting

which

tfw ywn never travel 60 miles by sewer barge to shout in the free speech square

10% scared of wolf mutants xD

>>70573
its SO CRAZY THOUGH HIS LIFE WAS SO INTERESTING

>>70578
LMAO isnt this the guy that shot up all those schools in self defense?

ngl thats really not that many giant beetle attacks why are we focusing on it as top issue

we should be focusing on police brutality, almost double the number of deaths as giant beetles

giant beetle as a metaphor for police violence is SMART the onion is SMART

90% of people who died of beetle attacks provoked the attack by looking at them xD

what do u guys think of channel 5 can you forgive andrew for being a rapist if his coverage is interesting

me too but its hard to forgive him... maybe if he said we was castrating himself or something

one of his recent videos got taken down for showing reporters getting shot by isreal and now you can only see it on his patreon

>>70588
no channel 5

>>70592
idk I think rapists should be publically shamed but also he seemed genuinely remorseful like his apology was basically like an actual apology not an "im sorry if my actions hurt other people or were interpreted that way" kind of thing.

but I also think his work is really influential and good there should be popular independent news media

>>70596
maybe i never used that website

>>70595
Yea it does kind of border on mob violence and the court of public opinion.

/play [YouTube]

does anyone wanna do a washington square park meet up in NYC

.play [YouTube]

its a cool park

lots of interesting art and dancing and stuff, music, fesitvals, activism

i miss having anime friends i used to go to anime conventions as a teen

it was really really fun

i wanna do cosplayy

haha I would have to figure it out

idk who I could cosplay im tallll lol I feel like I woul dhave to cosplay a tall character

oh goshhh

im too ugly ... ;_;

I like her mini tie

tye?

tie.

its a sad anime i like sad thinggs

they should be cosplayed by someone short af

imo this character i related too a lot

land of the lustrous was really cool

>>70625
yea I watch movies

I like sci fi and horror type movies

i like spooky eldritch stuff and monsters

lol trueee

I just watched Color Out of Space but it was... mid lol its an adaptation of a lovecraft short story thats i really like

I just rewatched Dark City that movie is one of my favs

i highly reccomend it its very very cool also I think the actor is really hot kind of xD

not having a family in the US is just

it feels like a death sentence...

i gave some money to this guys gofundme

its fucked up that people need charity just to survive and who does the charity money really go too? the people making these situations in the first place....

yea they take a cut xD

i can hear him crying his voice is breaking up ,..... it makes me so sad

i think in theory shitlike patreon and gofundme is good because relying on advertising to fund art is horrible its fucking horrible

crowdfunding is weak to scam type attacks true but

being a patron or geting a patron is how art should work people should work as a community or as individuals to sponsor artists

>>70662
idk I think they create value because they connect people. before go fund me came out the idea of crowdfunding didnt even exist like it does now

>>70665
well, being popular IS value
also a forum doesnt have banking services
also a forum cant refund ur money if its discovered its a scam or shit like that

I think its good that there are alternatives coming that take a smaller or no cut though like ko.fi im pretty sure doesnt take a % which is better for creators

>>70670
well the thing about it is unlike real land digital space is infinite. if they 'create' the land you can just go elsewhere. if it really didnt have value there would be tons of alternatives but I think its actually really expensive and labor intensive to set something like that up

>>70674
yea but unlike real cities the travel time to newcrowdfunsite.com is .001 seconds

Nah I see where you are coming from, I just dont think its fair to say they create no value. it doesnt mean they arent evil (or a product of society being squeezed of every penny so charity is more neccessary than ever)

i feel similar about steam like

Steam gives you SO MUCH VALUE as a dev

advertising, a marketplace, social networking tools it gives you SO MUCH VALUE

sever space, multiplayer hooks, remote play tools

yea there are bad things about steam but they are really good to indie devs which is a good thing

itch.io is so based

KEN-SAMA REST IN PEACE

ahh her voice is so prettyyyy

i wish I could sound like her i want to be a singer so baddd... :<

no i have a terrible voice ive been practicing for 10 years and its still bad

nah its hard for transwomen to achieve a truly beautiful female voice like my voice is good for everyday passing but there is a limit on what u can do

the stress on the vocal chords to shape them like girl voice and also project loudness and resoanance is like 5x what a cis singer would have to do

you literally could try to force it but you unironically run the risk of damage or ripping ur voice muscles

https://voca.ro/1g9bfXRaYfAF

its not on mobile i think

its still there for me

idk why but the quality of the voice recorder is always bad in the beginnign

it doesnt sound like a good singer though you guys are fucking... you are confusing passing or cute with actually being a song you would listen too lmao

so you think I sound as good as the song you just played?? xD

>>70732
exactly the shape of your throat to take a testeronized throat to sound female isnt conducive to good singing and you can see it in a lot of transwomen who are singers
