yes

cuz alcohol makes you hungry, tired and thirsty so the extreme alcohol addicts dont spend their days starving, sleep deprived and dehydrated

meth and crack and shit makes it so you cant sleep, eat or drink

Good points.

Pretend not to notice them. Walk in another direction than wherever they are, even if it's not where you're heading.

I think I'll do this next time instead of walking on by.

some fat lady once screamed at my dad accusing him of being the shapeshifting lizardman known as prince charles

But was he?

More than a few. Some oneoffs. The first I was walking home late at night and I saw one way down the street. Itching, twirling arms, the works. I ducked into a side street but kept facing the way I came to see if I couldn't be shadowed. He ran, as fast as I've seen a human being run, after a car. Looked like he was catching up to it at 25-30mph.

Another was more up close and personal. A guy I know is a tweaker came into my store one time, I was the only one working. He seemed like it was an "off" cycle and he was lucid, so he was just tidying up some documents in his backpack and talking about life. He went to the bathroom, another customer comes in, and when he comes out he flips shit because she's "in his space" and gets uncomfortably close to her and fast. He picks up a pair of scissors and looks right at me, giving me time to signal her to come around the counter and be next to me. He was visibily cranked out of his mind -- hit the bathroom to use. Sigh.

Dude lights up about some conspiracy shit and I just start calmly talking to him about how badass his hoodie, hat, shoes, etc were. That it was so cool having a city hero or some dumbass shit I pulled out of my ass, in my store, and was making him feel ridiculously welcome and appreciated. He lost track of his aggression and promptly left (without paying for anything) but the woman was flabbergasted that it ended so well, and thanked me.

That last story kind of reminded me of all the times I've tried to calm nutty ass drunks that flip into a bad mood. I've been in their shoes though, but it doesn't make it any less annoying or less insane. There probably is more of a snap between lucid and aggressive with the harder drugs though.

walk away in the most "i have some important shit i gotta do" way possible

gotta keep in mind theyre not only fucked up on hard drugs, theyre also starving, extremely dehydrated, and havent slept in a week. very dangerous cocktail. its depressing but the best thing you can do is just pretend they dont exist.

i can easily tell the difference between a tweaker and someone whos just disabled but idk how to explain it. its kinda just the vibes that let you know a lot of the time

Definitely agree with this post. Unfortunately I don't know if I'm savvy enough to know the difference but seeing the way they move it's becoming a little more obvious to me now than my first encounter with these irl zombies.

I'm kind of sheltered tbh.

I usually don't listen to anything to sleep because even if it helps me sleep at first I'll wake up and turn whatever it is off while half asleep and end up feeling tired the next day because of it.

I just thought about this earlier as I calmly walked by one without acknowledging them on a sidewalk. Would you recognize one or assume they were just mentally ill? It's hard to tell the difference sometimes... They obviously possess the ability to become dangerous and have no issue being strung out and wandering like zombies in daylight, scratching themselves to get at insects that don't exist and boxing at hallucinations in the air after being up for days on end.

Do you ever encounter tweakers ever? There's definitely a huge homeless problem in surrounding towns/cities where I'm at and I think it has a lot to do with rampant meth abuse.

Not sure if this will be interesting or if I'll keep it up. The pics will either be from that day or sometime in the past, likely from some time in the past. I have to screenshot to keep it embeddable on GameFAQS so the photos won't be the original quality.

This one is probably recognized easily. Multnomah Falls in Oregon, outside of Portland. Other areas will probably just be specified by state or area. Unfortunately this was after a severe burn awhile ago so the cover is a little bare.

Yeah a Little Caesars large pepperoni hot n ready is like 6 bucks (USD), each slice is almost 300 calories. Sure you could subsist on flavorless oatmeal instead but I'm trying to be realistic rn.

In comparison something like a ready made tv dinner is 360 cals for between 4 and 6 dollars which isn't cost effective and tastes like garbage.

Short answer is nope. I've only dislocated my arm at the elbow once. Lived with it dislocated for awhile until it popped back in. I suspected maybe I fractured a vertebrate because my legs were trying to fall out from under me and I was in terrible pain but I haven't had an issue with it in years but it took two years to stop being painful and problematic.

I also have plans to debadge apart from the Toyota logo because I'd like to keep it nice. The demographic of angry people that hate the Prius most likely wouldn't even recognize it without the badge, much less the 3rd gen wagon without it being spelled out for them. It's sad that I even have the think about it, but it's definitely a reality. Not trying to call out Texans but we have a lot of them visiting here and not all of them have happy thoughts when they see a hybrid. That aside, I think de-badging makes most vehicles look cleaner.

Do you prefer tinted windows for your ride?



It ended up turning out pretty nice. I went with 20s for the front passenger and drivers door, 5s everywhere else.

I also have some LED headlights for both highs and lows on order, should be arriving Monday.

Triple check your states laws (and any states you might routinely be in if only to avoid getting pulled over) and definitely dont go with the cheapest place lol.

Yeah I'm trying to go off of reviews on google maps but it's pretty difficult to discern between actual reviews and bs unfortunately. The state I'm registering with is 27% with the exception of the front window, which I'm leaving alone.

I've had 30% at night and it didn't really impede my ability to safely drive.

I did have mine suspended for not carrying insurance when I was young and dumb. The suspension lasted six months but I lived in a city with good bus service at the time so it did not impact my life in any real way l. They instituted a policy where 10% of all drivers were audited per year, so I didn't need to get pulled over for them to discover it.

I once worked a lowly inventory job and one of my co-workers apparently received what he described as a lifetime ban from having a DL due to literally trafficking cocaine and other illegal substances in his tires across state lines, making it a federal crime.
