To the man who took is own shirt off his back as I wept over my sorrows

You're an angel walking on earth. I've been struggling getting out of here because I'm stuck, and you sat there and listened and you literally took your own shirt off your back in public and gave me a new shirt. Thank you brother. I needed to shout you out.

God bless.

I hate you ICE

I am traveling and leaving Reno tomorrow. But my friend always comes to the gas station I sit in front of and we sit and talk through translation because we don't understand each other well.

Then ICE pulls up and my Hispanic brother immediately leaves scared. That's terrible man and it hurt a lot to witness. I hope this country turns around soon. I live a hard life but I can't imagine what my Hispanic brothers go through.

If you're reading this, this country loves you. I certainly love you brothers

I've been a homeless drunk in Reno

I was also sober for almost 3 years before I moved out here for a relationship. To my fellow brothers and sisters struggling, I love you. It gets better and it's never worth it. I throw up on the sidewalk in front of passing cars everyday on my way to get more booze. I've been in and out of the hospital both involuntarily and walking in close to a seizure. Then they put alot of other drugs in your veins so you stop shaking so much... I've been in jail multiple times in the last 2 months. It doesn't matter... I just want you to find a sponsor and work those steps. One day at a time.

I get you need your fix, but let's please stop stealing from other homeless people

Go steal shit from a mega corp. I'm tired of replacing my backpack and identification.

I've never seen Lake Tahoe

So I made the decision today to hike there and spend the night before I head home. I'm a person right now with absolutely nothing to lose, and it feels like I have a big world all to myself. I'm not even going to wait for an ID, because why? I'm just ready to be home. But I'll be damned if I leave Reno without seeing Lake Tahoe.

From there, I will train hop my way all the way back to North Carolina. And I'm going to take every single second of it in. I want to thank the lovely person who blessed me with a phone replacement. That solved 90% of my problems. You are an angel. And everyone else who has reached out and offered a helping hand. I don't care what anyone says about Reno, I've met some of the best people I've ever met in my life here. Thank you all so much. This city will always have a place in my heart. It's just time for me to go home. God bless every single one of you.

To the girl who stopped in the middle of the road and asked me to park her car

You overdosed while driving your car and last minute asked me to park it. I wasn't legally able to drive and have recently become homeless, but i got you in the passenger seat and parked it anyways and got you out and used narcan and brought you back. If you are reading this, or find this... i hope you are okay. I have had my struggles in life and hope whatever you are going through finds its way to some higher power.

In the last two weeks i have met many people with struggles greater than mine. And I just really wanted everyone to know to be kind to everyone. One act of kindness can save someones life. Even if its a simple compliment on someones fucking outfit man. God bless you Reno.

Mods please don't take this down

This is a real rant. And I'm not here spreading hate or anything. But I do hate the rich California girl who kicked me while I was down. Yes I am homeless right now and going back home. Yes I got really tired and laid down, just for to kick me and my things because I was in the way. Fuck you man ... I am not a drug addict just a person experiencing real problems. You didn't have to kick me sweetheart. And I hope you tripped on your way home

My girlfriend violently abuses me

It's exactly how it's read. She has put her hands on me so many times over the years and it's been, as of late just too much. I have never in my life been in a relationship like this. I've been isolated and completely stuck with this horribly controlling awful person and I'm finally walking away tonight.

AITAH for hating when my girlfriend huffs and puffs constantly?

Like it's non stop. She is such a miserable person no matter what life brings. We cannot have good days together. I've tried everything since day 1. Dates, spontaneous road trips like literally you name it and she just would rather sulk and invest energy in her family drama or gravitate towards something dramatic and negative.

It's the constant huffing and puffing and sighing that actually drive me over the top. Like wtf do you want? I cannot be happy around her because when I am, if not the huffing and puffing until I ask what's wrong ... she will start an argument over something that happened years ago.

I've asked her what she is doing dating me. And at times I've actually packed up and left just for her to want me back. And I've come back because I love her to death and want her to be happy and make things work. But I can't stand the negativity anymore. I'm a happy person. I like to have fun. I want to grill out hot dogs and drink beer and go on dates and thrift shop and all sorts of shit but no. It's always gotta be something

Where are we shopping for affordable groceries these days?

Just kind of wondering how/where people are shopping these days? I understand there are those who are financially able to afford groceries and I just ask for no judgement here. This is to those who are in the middle to lower class bracket. I just can't help but feel the weight of these food prices lately. This week's yet another week where I've lived off peanut butter sandwiches so my loved ones can eat nutritional meals, on top of gas prices... how are we doing this guy's and girls?

Mouse feature question for iMac

I currently play POE1 on my iMac and noticed on slot of videos I have watched, it seems as if people just hover their mouse over items and it automatically left clicks without individually clicking every single item. Im curious if Mac has a feature that does this, to avoid the thousands upon thousands of clicks daily?

I'm finishing up this documentary and I'm finding it hard to believe personally. I believe he was a violent abusive man yes, but I can't seem to find his daughters' claims credible. What do you guys think?

It reads exactly how you think. My partner refuses to accept the fact that I have been depressed the past couple of months. And it's honestly due to the way she emotionally treats me. I'm genuinely so exhausted and trapped in a relationship I have no option but to stay in right now.

And it's not just that. I can't use the restroom without her forcefully reaching to check if I've...helped myself for the lack of better term when I am through. And Reddit, I genuinely promise I do not do these things. I am just genuinely depressed and don't have a sex drive. I just feel completely abused because of it. I can't just walk away because I've moved acrossed country 2.5 years ago for this miserable relationship and I just don't have the finances for another move.

AITAH for not being in the mood lately?
