And suddenly everybody was king fu fightin’ 🎸

Also there was a thread on Reddit about a guy who chose to live in his car. He was a coder or something, choosing to be homeless. Traveled from Starbucks to Starbucks to use the wi-fi. Bought food, sat there all day, used the bathroom, and did this consistently. So being homeless and even transient is not the issue. Spend money. Private entities should not be forced to pick up the slack for failed government.

As a taxpayer I’d certainly endorse public shithouses on every corner. Other countries have them.

Is the code available upon request at the counter?

I think typically anyone can use facilities in a restaurant if they buy something. Even homeless people. It’s a business not a public toilet. If you’re entering a business with no intention of supporting them don’t get pissy when they don’t support you either.

You presumably lock your doors as well. Why do you hate the homeless? They need to sleep indoors. They need your food and your bathroom. Right?

89 cents a pack at the Amoco near my house about 1980. Weirdly the attendant also sold weed at 20 an eighth and 40 years later the low end price at my local dispensary is still 20 bucks except the bag isn’t covered in grease and smelling like gasoline.

That was 25 years ago. I imagine if I still used dope all this time I’d be dead by now

Painted Ladies of Charles Village

I grabbed a random link with a decent description

Also specific to Baltimore, rowhomes throughout certain neighborhoods had their window screens hand painted by local artists.

I use to hack drug addicts from my neighborhood “down the hill” to the dope holes. It’s how I got my own fix every day. There was no Uber. Even today you can’t typically leave your Uber waiting in an open-air drug market while you’re in line in the alley scoring your heroin.

I have been delivering pizzas at night out in Harford County. We're hustling to and from the car, no time to waste, chasing tips. Many car doors are unlocked out here. My previous vehicle was a black SUV and several times I delivered the pizza, bolted off the porch, and straight into the customer's black SUV in the driveway. Always got a laugh instead of buckshot in the ass thankfully.

You told leadership to “shut the fuck up with that bullshit and step the fuck out of office you moron”. Only a moron would spout that bullshit and then claim to be no fucking smarter.

Ok but sheesh no need to rob the place

You have 3 days to dig him out 😀

I saw the earlier thread about this. The woman who wrote about it was telling of her own childhood experience from the 1970s. My family also had an elf back then. I always assumed everyone did. I was about to become indignant and state MY generation invented it so I looked it up. Turns out Scout elves have been part of Christmas stories since day 1 when Santa Claus first died for our sins (fatass got stuck in a chimney) and parents have been using them to scare children ever since. Old as dirt, who knew.

I lived at Towson State for about 3 months back in the 80s. My buddy was a student. His roommate went home at Christmas and decided to withdraw. I just assumed his quarters. Eventually someone snitched and I was escorted from the premises. Was a wild ride while it lasted!

Cocaine’s a helluva drug

Wow I just realized I haven’t seen them selling at intersections for years. Forgot all about that.
