I hate being like this. But are there bicycle vouchers in town? Been having a harder time finding a job here than I thought I would when I moved. I applied to the Walmart and Goodwills though and I'm really hopeful they'll hire me! But they're super far from the shelter. I've been getting interviews, but I think because I live at the mission they recognize my address as a homeless dude. Down to my last 15 bucks so I'm gettin worried. I'll walk if I have too but damn... 3 hours of walking will be rough with the rules and curfews at the shelter.

Also any positive thoughts would be cool. I'm newish to Spokane and getting stressed. School starts in September and I need to get a job before than so I can get a room. Kinda feeling like burning my boats to chase degrees might turn out rough.

Things are SO close! I got sober, cleared all my legal issues, ran away from Idaho because that place was killing me, enrolled in school, got my credit uo into the "Good" category, and feel like I'm days away from getting hired somewhere.... anywhere. I've got to be close. I've been here 3 weeks now.

I guess I'm feeling lonely and ranting at this point, but my order of operations​ is this:

1. Job

2. Roof

3. Start college on solid ground

Wish me luck with Walmart, Goodwill, or that I get a call from the restaurants and markets I've interviewed at.

My blog is the ONLY thing that has stuck through The Break Away Experience with me! The original BAE then the return, dealing with jail, drugs, alcohol, madness, homelessness, small moments of hope then ultimately realizing I was completely wrong the entire time and the way I planned to originally "conquer my fears, learn my limits, discover myselF, and find my God or Gods" was STUPID! ​​

Now I'm out of jail and legally clear! Now I once again left a house and quit a job! Just to move to this fucking homeless shelter in the city and chase a dream. My blog has helped me realize being a leader is ego. Being a friend, a TRUE friend to others is key.

My blog made me realize I don't need to start a nomadic, transient, cult​.

I may be in a shelter or sometimes staying with women, but I'm starting school, working, making friends, looking at houses with some buddies and have purpose. After years of depression in AA I'm free of them. My blog saved me. Or helped me save myself. Or maybe it made me crazy. Or maybe I already was crazy.....

But this blog helped me reach a place where I'm happy and ready to thrive.

Never give up your blogs people. Ever!

Its over 2 years old and the family member who had me arrested admitted in court they weren't assaulted. They told the judge that she just wanted me thrown in a drunk tank because I was drinking. The cops said they can't arrest me for drinking so they told her to say she felt threatened, which she did​, and that they'd sober me up at the jail. She admitted all this in court. So now everywhere I look to rent says assaults automatically deny people for housing. Even misdameanors! Can she write a letter explaining the situation? I'm over a year sober and supposed to be starting school soon.

I want to do the $15 background check but I'm told my account will be flagged because of my criminal record and I'll get shadow banned. I don't have felonies, violent crimes, theft, or anything like that. I was just a MAJOR drunk throughout my 20s. It has caused me a lot of issues but I have over a year sober now and just enrolled in school. I recently moved out of my house and quit my job and came to a homeless shelter just to chase my dreams of getting an education, but finding a place is pretty tough with my history. Will I get flagged or banned if Roomies checks my background and sees my record? I don't want to lose access to the site.

Thanks. ​​

I'm just curious how a young white kid from a privileged life with a super rich family will do in prison. He's currently in MSP/Parchman Unit 30. His crime also was ambushing a 21 year old college girl who loved him by shooting her to death.

I'm trying to get more information on these institutions, but I feel like AI videos are taking over the internet.

Thank you.

Considering the many different religions on Earth, I'm curious on your thoughts on which one causes the most harm? Is there a religion that is worse than the rest? Or are they all equally bad?

Edit: For anybody new, I can tell you right now that the most common answers here are "Yes" and "All of them".
