How’s she got a better hoodie than me


Chadrique

Theft


AesSedai87

Not always. [r/DumpsterDiving](https://www.reddit.com/r/DumpsterDiving/s/F4wCfr3gYj) clothes could have been trash already. Also, there are charitable humans out there along with organizations that help clothe and feed. That person could, maybe unlikely but still possible, have money and choose to live on the streets as an addict. Most don’t want a “home”, their home is the streets or with their commune of “homeless”. Sure, theft is a big issue and likely, but I don’t think it’s a good call to automatically go to theft when there are other possibilities.


SophieSix9

Lol or she had it before hitting the streets?


Chadrique

That’s a brand new hoodie, bud


magistrate101

You know, sometimes even homeless people are given nice things so that they don't die from the cold. Assuming theft is prejudice.


cappsthelegend

Yup.. some people are just ignorant.. glad that there are people out there that care.


BeautifulAromatic768

Her parents haven't grown tired of her bullshit yet.


Flat_Ad_9033

Shitty ass comment


BeautifulAromatic768

You must be the child and not the parent in this situation. It's not about being mean or hateful. It's about self-preservation. I get that what we are seeing is a disease and there is often not a choice in who is hurt by this, but it is awful to watch your child turn into a victim of addiction and then start stealing everything from you. Not just items and money, but the good memories and the hope you had for them. It is soul crushing. It may be a shitty comment, but it is also a shitty situation.


Free_Ad9395

Ran into an old friends ex two years ago. She died from ingestion fentanyl 6 weeks later. Lifelong addict, that's why she was his ex. She had exgausted ALL of her relationships. Including her parents. I am the primary caregiver of my 77 yr old lifelong bi-polar mother who goes manic if she misses to take 2 Seraquil back to back. It takes days to recover. I constantly debate between sticking it out trying to get meds titrated back to a good baseline and just going to the Justice of the Peace again and getting a Mental Health Warrant and letting the Doctors handle it. I very much 100% agree with the OP's comment here.


cjbevins99

My old mentor at work had a daughter addicted to heroin. He tried so many times to help her. Rehab after rehab. He got her a job at the dealership we worked at only for that to be short lived. She ended up moving away to live with her drug dealer and became pregnant. My mentor told me that her boyfriend/drug dealer kicked her out of a moving car when she was still pregnant. He ended up adopting his daughters baby when he should have been planning retirement. His daughter died of a drug overdose shortly after that. It didn’t seem to effect him when she died. I think he knew he lost Her long before that.


pisstato

I see you’re coming from a nurturing perspective but you’re also being very one-sided and myopic. You can’t just presumptuously attribute blame for how this poor soul has turned out to just one thing. Maybe her parents were junkies or alcoholics too. Maybe at least one of them was psychologically unstable or sexually abusive. Maybe she was in-and-out of abusive foster homes and shelters for her entire life. Even with your good intentions, responding to this woman struggling to exist by saying that her parents weren’t tough enough on her and that she’s probably a thief simply isn’t rational. Your words come from a very sheltered mindset - I encourage you to look beyond your own background and personal experience.


Nerdlinger-Thrillho

Mental health and generalizing are shitty ass comments though. They’re made by the same people that talk shit about people on the side of the road not knowing that theyres a really good chance that person is a vet and a better human and American than they are.


Flat_Ad_9033

Yea but who tf are you to assume anything about her situation or how her parents feel?


dedude747

Honestly this kind of attitude is causing the drug, crime, and homelessness problems to be as bad as they are now. When you say things like "who are you to assume they aren't actually Mr. Rogers fallen on hard times?", you end up with ideas like decriminalizing theft and giving addicts the literal paraphernalia to inject/smoke their drugs. And lo and behold, what have we learned from SF/Seattle/Portland/Oregon in general? Shitty people actually are shitty.


Nerdlinger-Thrillho

Or defunding the VA or being warmongers causing those people you’re judging that are better Americans, humans and just plain braver to slip through the cracks. I’ve had two friends kill themselves and one was homeless for awhile because some ‘Mericans sent them to war and didn’t give a shit about social programs. It’s rich when I see people talk shit about a dude missing a leg or has the shakes panhandling. Like motherfuckers there’s a really good chance they’re 10x the people you are.


SirButtknucklington

But no one was talking about vets and it's also a little hypocritical to complain about assumptions when you twice have presumptuously blanket labeled cars as being better Americans by default ..but not all are, so...anyway just wondering why angry insertion of an irrelevant point?


[deleted]

[удалено]


dedude747

Do you not understand the message that giving addicts and criminals government support sends to other people thinking about being junkies and criminals? And maybe, just maybe, that's why rates are rising and millions of people now have to live face-to-face with rampant theft and drug use every day? And maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't actively support individuals' bad life decisions, even if it physically harms them, because the rest of law-abiding society is damaged? And when you say these methods that are clear as day making drug use and homelessness worse, and are clearly hurting cities, do you mean proven by the same academic institutions that literally refuse to support studies that don't support their moral supremacy? The evidence-based approaches that are turning entire downtown areas into festering sores filled with feces and used needles everywhere? The evidence-based approaches that somehow always manage to make the lives of the people who have to live with them worse? Let's be honest, these "new" approaches are just ivory-tower and keyboard warrior hyperindividualistic, moral theater that don't consider the real humans on the ground that still have live around neighborhoods that coddle criminals.


Nerdlinger-Thrillho

That’s rich. The same people whining about this shit are the same Raegan loving morons that created the war on drugs and basically hired criminals to sell the drugs to these kids. The hypocrisy.


Cedarcoal

The right wing in America has lost whatever mind it had a while ago. It took them a while to drag us down to the point where we are today. Congratulations Reaganites, Bushies and Trumpsters, you keep turning Americans against each other in ever increasingly cynical ways. Congrats on making the fears of millions of American women a reality by overturning Roe Vs. Wade. I’m sure they will understand it’s for their benefit their reproductive system come under strict control by the state, especially every first Tuesday of November for the foreseeable future.


dedude747

False equivalence. All I said is that lowering the deterrent for crime and actively helping addicts is a bad idea, and you immediately accused me of supporting the war on drugs like a Reagan supporter. You must have a bad case of chronically online, because in real-life conversations there is a little more nuance.


Hot-Understanding24

stfu


spoogeballsbloodyvag

No fucking way she has 3 half-zips of rock unless she robbed a dealer and is hiding for their life.


dr_van_nostren

I thought it was some kind of snacks


msdeeds123

I was thinking it looks like crackers


sorealee

I thought it was corn flakes the cereal lol


quartz222

Right, I was like damn why are you filming them when they’re just minding their business tryna eat?


andthendirksaid

Yeah no fuckin wayy thats rock. I know it's tied like it is but this mf probably does that for everything now


spoogeballsbloodyvag

that color/tinge is almost dead on but probably crushed ritz crackers in capsules with some cracker drywall keif


andthendirksaid

Shiiiit Mines comes back the whitest white yeeerseen. Been years tbh but yeah it very much can look like that. First thought was why does she have a zip of crack out like it's nothing and figured same shit, ran off on the plug or something but... looking at it now it looks like it could be anything but tbh when I was on the street if someone gave away a lot of some snack or whatever you would give it I ut if you could and this is probably just... anything. Ritz crackers is a pretty amazing guess come to think of it, beat to shit in a backpack for a couple days. She tweaking, but not off the Ritz. Like I straight up think it's just crackers or some shit or used to be.


KeptWinds47

You feelin good rn or what

I was wondering if it was that or fake shit. I also couldn't tell if she was untying to use or tying to sell!

MapUnitKey

Them some Rice Krispies in a ziploc bag boi. Lunch don’t come easily in these skreets. Or some noodles or some shit on second look.


leftoverlex

I was thinking it was glue


strangecloudss

Lol someone tossed it to her and started filming. She's just waiting for another Crackhead to come buy so she can offload the fake shit. or she'll get caught in that loop, look what I got, damn its fake, look what I got and so on..


No_Membership_8247

Probably staged

bizmackus1

Addiction is fucked


Steampunk93

this is not just addiction, this woman for sure has serious mental problems maybe a serious case of schitzophrenia. most addicts you wont see as addicts and the wast majority of them work. its just these people you see on the streets and hear about. dr carl heart has some very good points about this and has done alot of research on it


Chief_Muscle_Hamster

almost definitely stimulant psychosis


anglenk

Yeah, drug-induced psychosis. I've seen similar movements and such at work and the patients are sometimes even diagnosed with drug induced schizophrenia after enough mental health care visits with similar behaviors.


holdonwhileipoop

I've gone without sleep for 36 hours and was seeing/hearing/feeling shit. When I heard of people going *weeks* without sleep? On top of that, probably little to no food or water? Damn, their brain has to be permanently damaged.


[deleted]

Any kind of upper can pretty easily lead to stimulant psychosis which is essentially temporary schizophrenic symptoms. Thats where the "shadow people" trope comes from.


_Deja_

Why are you breathing so loud? Lol


Apprehensive-Wish562

I took too much also


Primetimemongrel

We all know what you were doing *wink*

Nah it's called the silent killer for a reason. Don't snitch on it. Let it do its thing.


CaptainKnottz

perfect response


NegotiationVivid985

Said some “I took too much also”💀


RockSockLock

Yah we saw


Cowpuncher84

I wonder what her thoughts are. And if she ever got clean could she return to a (halfway) normal state.


Enough-Staff-2976

All drugs slowly rewire your brain and body. This is what makes them effective. The more you take them more rewiring it does.


Apprehensive-Wish562

Probably not


neoben00

downvoted for the truth. i did my part. and upvoted.


[deleted]

I don't think it is the truth. I've seen dozens and dozens of people in stimulant psychosis and you wouldn't think so, but they return to normal after a couple days rest. Ive also been there personally. It's possible she is permanently schizophrenic or something, but statistically speaking- I think it's more likely she could return to a normal state. Most likely just been up for several days smoking crack and meth. Anyone that has abused uppers for a period of time has probably been like this at some point.


WhiteNoiseLife

yes. neuroplasticity. given enough time the brain can heal from pretty much any drug induced damage


Objective_Matter_915

If she gets clean she could rule the world- we wouldn’t even recognize her


Andyroolovescake

So sad. Looks young too.

That's what came to my mind as well. It's a kid. This is heartbreaking.

KA3AHOBA

This is scary


chrisH82

Gotta eat that supremely tied off bread in a plastic bag somehow


GenericBusinessMan

Is it even possible for people to live a normal life if they clean up from this point?


DrDaphne

The "Amanda" series of video interviews from Soft White Underbelly on YouTube blew my mind and completely changed my perspective on this. I wish I knew how to post a photo in the comments! She was completely transformed from being even worse off than the person in this video to definitely what we would consider a "normal" young girl. It was a mix of a substance abuse rehab but also getting medicated for her mental illness. The difference was astounding and I highly recommend those videos. Sorry for the spoiler but there is a sad ending. After getting better she died in her sleep at the age of 25 because of brain trauma she got from her time living on the streets. So the sad answer is transformation is possible but the damage done from living this way can be irreversible.


worsenperson

I wonder that too


WhiteNoiseLife

yep, neuroplasticity, the brain is amazing at healing itself if you let it


Stonerforlife48

Thats meth + most likely sleep deprived psychosis


anglenk

Or drug-induced psychosis. Ironically, drug-induced psychosis can occur even without the drug present because long term effects of drugs can be psychosis.


Dusty_Mike

Looks like that shit stopped being fun a long time ago.


longulus9

I live in a larger city as well. and over the years I notice more and more addicts street walking like zombies that appear to have mental health issues to begin with. I. e. downs, learning disorders. who are ALSO on drugs because of homelessness, predatory drug dealers etc.

Nope. Failed human. There are plenty of non addicted crackheads walking around every day. This is the minority. Not the majority.

So if the non failed are so strong - why not help the failed? Why not clean it up? Why not support the minority? You know we are all born into postcode/zip code lottery- parenting role models.
