This is going to be a bit long, but about 2 months ago I was kicked out of my home by my parents. I lost my job as I was the one to be let go due to it being a seasonal position. I tried to reapply again, even went in and begged a bit, but the position couldn't be opened for me and I was unsuccessful in finding a new job. I don't have much savings as it was a part time seasonal position and my parents were charging a pretty large sum for rent and my portion for the utilities and helping with the car insurance, and dialysis fee for my father as their insurance doesn't cover it. I headed to NYC, I figured it was much easier to survive while being homeless in a place that was actually a city, and it wasn't.I've been shanked by another homeless person, because I was the last one to get a bed in the shelter. I didn't even know that homeless shelters had a rotational thing where you have to put your name down and take a picture in order to get in, that way they can block you from entering for a few days so other people can get beds. I thought I had at least a couple of days, so I came back one night and was unable to even get my stuff due to not returning in time and only having the bed for THAT night. So I tried to sleep in some woods out there, where I got rocks thrown at me because someone else claimed the territory, I didn't sleep at all that night. When I went to the shelter to pick up my things that morning, they brought me a garbage bag, inside it was my backpack and most things inside were ruined because they threw my liquids in there that leaked overnight. My documents are at least fine.I have $300. I met someone else who's homeless who bought a 1 way ticket to Paris for $90 through a deal going on with an airline called PLAY that flies out of Stewart in Newburgh. They have a Halloween special deal going on which is why it's so cheap. He says it's way safer to be a wanderer and homeless in Europe, compared to the states. I'm wondering if I should do the same.
I've been trying to find a job here as well, but the process to even start looking everyday is a mess. I need internet, and the most reliable connections are the ones in cafes, Starbucks, mcdonalds, etc. Not the free wifi they have around the city. The issue is, I need to be presentable, smell good, etc. But the only free shower is almost a 3 hour walk away from the one spot I was able to find that no one has so far bothered me in. So I wake up at around 5:30-6am and walk to the free shower, to put my name on the list, as sign ups end at 10:30 AM. So I have to make it to the place and put my name on the list to even get a shower. Then it's a matter of hopping between shops to use their wifi, while buying whatever is the cheapest so they don't call the cops on me.Anyways, back to the thing about Europe. The deal ends on the 31st, which is the last day I could buy such a cheap flight. I'm wondering if I should go for it, because every day here has been filled with danger. From run ins with gang members, angry homeless people, cops that follow me and scare myself and other homeless people away from the main streets, and the 6 hours of walking between my "home" and a functional free shower, the gun violence that happens near my "home", and my fear of returning to the homeless shelter because I don't want to be stabbed and attacked for being able to finally get a bed.
According to this guy, he heard that it's safer, people are more open to giving people small jobs with cash for tax exemption. Easier to live off the land depending on the country you end up in, etc.I was looking into other places to go in the states though. I was thinking of going west, but apparently it isn't any better in that direction either. I opened my job search to the entire country by the way. From what I read, the homeless situation and treatment and general violence between the community is WORSE that it is here in NYC or the east coast in general. Which is crazy to me, because this is barely manageable mentally as well.
>>32217265>my parents were charging a pretty large sum for rent and my portion for the utilities and helping with the car insurance, and dialysis fee for my father as their insurance doesn't cover itI’m sorry your parents are Boomers. I was homeless twenty years ago so things were different back then. They wouldn’t kick us out after a few days, but that was a church related shelter. Red Cross charged $7/day and the city shelter was full of niggers that stabbed people. Many states put homeless on public assistance. Seattle and San Fran were okay ten years ago for homeless but now the crime in those cities is out of control.
>>32217375So I've been reading correctly then. The West Coast is a mess. I feel like I'm at my wits end. The way the homeless act, and more so the way they're treated, is frightening.I might just call it a night as I have a 3 hour walk ahead of me to get back to my brush.
>>32217265>>32217265you dont need a shower to stay clean. I can go days without showering and remain clean. We humans can practically never shower, just occasionally clean the parts that stinks witch are hair, armpits and groin, with just water. Stink comes from the acid fat produced by the bacteria that eats our sweat salts. Bacteria can only survive in humid, so if you wash and then dry out you kill bacteria, you dont need soap.For the clothes, again, we dont need laundry. Use cotton underwear, instead of polyestere. Synthetics are philofat, while cotton is antifat textile. When ur underwear will stink, just put them under the dirt for some time. Dirt is full of microorganisms that eats bacteria, there is also oxygen that dries them out, and cold, that dies them out.btw why u dont try to find a job? be presentable and try to contact with thoose juicy HR girls
>>32217451Thanks for the hygiene tips. I have enough dirt where I sleep to at least try the digging method. I already have a hole where I hide my stuff.About the jobs, as I've mentioned, I've been searching, but I'm never getting any reply, or I get an interview and never get an email back as confirmation afterwards. Then everything seasonal has already been taken. Walk ins don't happen anymore if that's what you're referring to.
There's a sale going on at Rei. You can get high quality tarps for an A frame for about 30 bucks. I'd suggest picking that up. If you're planning on going to Europe, I'd do the exchange here after you purchase the flight and the tarp.
>>32217265I do recommend getting out of the US and moving to the EU because there will be a lot of chaos there soon, more so than in the EU. The EU, although safer, has more stringent restrictions already in place, and that's not a problem for you now, but just something to be aware of. I also recommend moving before next year or the first months of next year because border and airport security will toughen up.I don't know anything specific to help you right now but I have intel on the very near future and if you can survive a little longer, I promise that your financial and housing situation will become normal.I will contact you and if you're up for it we can stay in touch, see if we can come up with solutions right now, and I will give you info that will guide you through these next months and maybe make you better off than most people who are unaware.
If you don't have anything supe wrong with you, I'd say just join the military. You're already fucked, basically. If you do full time, you will own a home and a nice car and get pussy if you're not a complete weirdo.
>>32218270I highly doubt that. Most if the people I've talked to who are homeless were in the military are or homeless. Some who went home after AIT and the money stopped flowing in, others who were deployed, got a home after returning home, and had the same issue, especially when it came to health insurance. It's already common knowledge that veterans aren't treated well, but after the people I've talked to, it seems like a gamble on if I actually get any benefits or not.I think I'm just going to hop over to Europe and stay there for the Winter. From the research I've done, they have much more milder winters compared to the States. It beats going to Florida which is still a mess at the moment, and the coastal cities which have homeless issues similar to New York, some suffering with literal arson.>>32217608I'm heading to Rei as they open at 10am. Going to pick up the tarps and whatever else is cheap, see if it can fit in my backpack.If everything works out today, I'm going to go ahead and buy the ticket form Newburgh to Paris.
>>32217265Homelessness is fucked. Been homeless before and was mentally ill then. Shit is rough and you got weirdos and other homeless people to deal with. If you can, maybe stay at a shelter, get a job, save up for a room or a car, and try to stay sane because that shit is rough and might break you.
>>32217509Can you wet wipe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D8639Te2nk
>>32217451How do you remove stink after you take a fap?
>>32219072Washing your penis head and foreskin with water. Rubbing off any smegma (dick cheese) you have
Anon I beg you, don't strand yourself in a totally foreign country with zero cash. Short term, long hours jobs like potato and cranberry harvests are happening right now. Get one of those and you can get a healthy 4 figures to your name, easy.
>>32217265It's never a good idea to do what all other desperate people are doing.Not too keen on the Paris bit unless your French is fluent. Besides, Paris can get miserably cold and rainy in wintertime.>>32217303America is a big place, but the cities are glutted with homeless, so if you want to escape the bum life, you're gonna have to pick a town with a need for workers and try to build a life there. I'd recommend heading south. Most towns have libraries with free WiFi and charging stations. Go to church and talk to people. Buy fresh clothes from the thrift store first, they may even give you a special deal. Lay off the desperate act, don't talk about how difficult life is for you. That really turns people off, as it makes you sound like another sob story bum who inevitably is going to take advantage of every kindness he receives. Focus entirely on future possibilities in your conversations, make people believe that by taking you in they are investing in their community by enabling your productivity. >>32219032The solution is simple; stay away from bums, and try your best not to look or act like an average bum either. >>32220411Beet harvest is almost over by now, up in North Dakota. Most harvesting jobs require employees to have a car to get from their lodgings to and from the field.
>>32219006Paris is a city, not a campground. Don't waste what little money and resources you have fiddle-fucking around with a stupid tarp when what you need most is a nice warm jacket and a rain slicker. Your only goal after landing should be finding work, something like a dishwashing job, then line up a dorm bed or squalid little room in a bad neighborhood, perhaps after talking to your coworkers. If you thought you were escaping the danger and sketchiness, haha nope. It's gonna be tougher than NYC if you don't speak French.
>>32220728this anon is right>>32220411A place like paris too, france, unless you speak the language you are fucked.What you could do is go to puerto rico, I image as a burger they would love you over there, you are fine legally and will be able to get work and even work as an english teacher would probably be available.Still you need starting cash. You cannot be moving to a new country and stranding yourself broke.Anyway, I have been homeless and I simply just went to a homeless charity with a local paper that advertised property to rent, used their phone and rang every place I could.i had a quick spiel which just said something like "I have to be blunt as I am ringing loads of people, i am homeless and need a place to stay, can and will work but cant get a job until I get a place to stay"etcAfter a few rings I had a guy who had compassion and appreciated my blunt cander, gave me a place to stay and a temp job doing BS house work. gave me money, I got a real job, paid him back...This is your best bet.But I imagine NYC is a fucking hell hole.You would probably be better off moving to a mid USA hick city and be looking for government work.Any government job.
Paris a shithole. I've traveled to cities around the world and I've never felt as scared as I did when I left the touristy parts of Paris.Also, stop considering expensive homeless-filled cities. NYC was a bad idea. San Fran is a bad idea. Miami is a bad idea.
>>32217265Paris is no different from New York because there is a huge "Black and North African community there which are all good". And most French people don't "want" to speak English if you're going somewhere out of the USA, I advise you to go to Canada or at least the Netherlands or one of the Scandinavian countries, there the homeless status is better and they speak English.You can still go to Paris and discover more options in other cities or EU countries.
>>32225548>there is a huge "Black and North African community there which are all good"I wanted to they are not polite.
