just renewed my rent. It went up 30%
Flies a drone above anon
Drone speaker: "Womp womp"
This whole comment section is nuts. Who knew a green text about drones and crackheads could set off such vitriol filled discussions about gendered language, homelessness, and whether human dignity can be measured in dollars?
That's why you befriend them instead of scaring them away.
Until the fact that you befriended them gets you fired because it scares your coworkers.
Or gets you robbed
Always keep a couple crackheads. Also, make sure you filter your crackheads. You want the ones who'll help you clean your garage for $10, not the ones who will clean out your garage for about $10 down at the pawn shop.
Promote a positive environment, help turn the crackden into a crackhome.
You joke, but the crackhead hooker next door to me in Chicago would clean my place, top to bottom, for a 20 spot. Wouldn't dare steal anything because I was good money for a regular rock.
That's the thing about addicts. They're still people. Some get into a bad situation and know better than to fuck up the few good opportunities they'll get. Many will fuck themselves over for easy and quick gains. The latter group is why my wife would kill me if I hired an addict prostitute to clean our home.
I've known a few like that. Why I joke about it. I knew a guy, if he could have kept his shit together, he coulda had his own damn shop. Dude could fix about anything mechanical, get it done quicker than some of the shops around the place.
Saw plenty of 'em working in construction, too. Keep it together long enough to make some decent cash, disappear for awhile, come back when they needed more. You got used to rotating faces, got to know which ones would try to screw you over. Too many times you'd see one come up alone and find out the buddies they had didn't make it through the last.
You have never lived in a Crack friendly neighborhood.
rent has gone up 40% because the crackheads are now moving in
Gotta fire some rent control rounds into the air.... it's all about #balance
If you're going to do this, use blanks or shotgun with birdshot. That way you're not raining lead on some unsuspecting person a mile or so away and birdshot is just small bbs that don't have a high terminal velocity.
I dunno. Family rained on by stray bullets printed everywhere will REALLY drive the rent down
Now get a recording of a couple different gunshots and repeat the process. Problem solved!
Recording?! What is this, amateur hour?
The inevitable end to this is that you mount a gun on the drone.
I lived in a run down part of town a few houses down from a crack/coke distributor in college and once a friend locked himself out of the car. Before we could even panic someone popped out with a hanger and opened it in like 30 seconds. Crisis averted!
Also got pulled over on my own street regularly though (“you looked nervous”) and my dad almost got arrested when he was dropping off plants (cacti and flowers).
"You look nervous"
"Bruh I am nervous, all the time, everywhere."
It’s because you pulled me over my guy
Fuck! That drone was just some chump? I'm telling the boys we got the block back!!
No good deed goes unpunished
What a dehumanizing way to talk about homeless people :/
People you know, and yourself, could become homeless tomorrow. This dehumanization leads to violence against homeless people.
They're people too and they deserve a place to be. The solution to homelessness is not just moving them to another side of town, but among other things reducing the cost of apartments and houses.
Are all Crackheads homeless?
Nope, shit untill housing prices went up so high most crack heads had stable housing.
But in most places income assistance isn't enough so they end up homeless
Who said they were homeless? That's a pretty pejorative assumption you're making.
Let's assume this is real, if you are noisy to the point of bothering others and you happen to be spending your time on the street doing it, being called derogatory names is expected, irrespective of your home ownership status.
The post is not just about calling people derogatory names, it is also about flying a drone with a voice message. When push comes to shove, the voice message is a threat of calling the police. Where are the crackheads going to go now ?
They have no other place to be. So asking them to leave is just asking them to go to a new place, and then a new place after that and so on, while each day some of them die due to cold, violence and other accumulating factors.
This is a systematic issue, and we need to fix the system and be compassionate, rather than just push poor people around.
