  • I’d give him a snack if he was desperate enough to come to my door. Wouldn’t let him inside but might come out to chat with him. Just to be sure they are well enough to carry on. Like, I didn’t have to call for medical assistance or something.

    It’s easy to say no when you’ve never been in that situation. I mean I’ve never been so out of it I’d beg a stranger to groom me but I have been completely on my own with nothing and no one.

    Any homeless person with good intent would know that cold knocking someone and asking to come inside is a bridge too far. So if they were trying that shit they would most likely be competely toasted or having a serious mental episode. Even more likely they are trying to steal your shit.

    I have had a homeless man come up to the door in an icestorm with no shirt on. The guy was soaked in alcohol and I did not feel safe. I did throw him a sweater, coat, and gloves because he could freeze but I was fucking terrified.








  • We are so numb to it now but everyone forgets what it was like when the doors to the internet opened and we were all face to face with strangers and had no clue what we were suppose to do.

    Being a total fuckwad seems like an option when you contrast it to how mundane the rest of your life was before the internet.

    Like I remember sitting on the bus as a kid desperately ignoring every thing around me because I just wanted to do the shit and go home. That, school, and the ride back were the only social interactions with strangers that was expected of me. When we got cable internet and we started pumping the outside world directly into our eyeballs, telling it to “go fuck itself” seemed somewhat appropriate.
