Want to know how I became homeless? I turned 18, and my parents said, "Alright have a nice life, you're 18 now don't be home when I get back." After 18 years of teaching me zero life skills. Took me until my late 20s to find stability, meanwhile being constantly harassed by police for looking for a place to rest between time at school and work.
And before you go to the obvious speculation that lazy commenters always do. I didn't and don't drink alcohol, don't do drugs, spent all of my time building computers. My parents just didn't like having to spend money on someone that wasn't them. I was always in advanced classes in school and most always was a solid B student even with zero home support. If it wasn't for me winning the genetic lottery with my mind, I'd likely be dead or in prison like most of my childhood friends.
But you know, this is an anecdote and has no value in the vast scheme of things. Data driven results are all that matter, and yet, they still disagree with your lazy assessment that people are the source of their own situation. Believe it or not, these questions have been asked and answered, yet you remain unaware of them. The safety and support systems in the society you live in dictate homelessness, and I can tell you first hand, we have none in my country.
But that's all the energy I can send to you, its not useful trying to teach chess to a pigeon, at the end of the day you're going to spread your shit around and knock over the board anyway (a summary of your comments in this thread).
Hope you open your eyes and your mind some day.
Footnote, if anyone cares about the ending to the homeless part of my story, I became a home owner in my 30s after living in rented rooms with Craigslist randoms for about a decade. Interesting times, most people are great.
TLDR.
I need 21 words max. I'm kidding I read your pointless rant and I have only 1 observation. You are either stretching the truth or you are a liar. Take care my homeless friend.
Sometimes I feed the trolls.
Hope your belly is full.
But my story is what I said it was.
Pigeons do what pigeons do.
No one reading this thread is surprised that 21 words is the limit of your cognition. I sincerely believe that you are doing your best.
LMAO did you only get 5 words in and decided to respond? I think you need a TLDR more than me
