      I love my dog. I only adopted her when I had the living space and security to take care of her. Strange how that works huh?

      I wonder how much you actually care about an animal if you think it’s something to be used as leverage for not having to better your life.

        Like half of Americans are one paycheck away from being homeless. So what point exactly are you making? That you’re morally superior for being better off? Or that we should wait until we have at least two paychecks saved? You have all the answers?

          My answer seems to be living in a developed country in Europe. I can tell you, I felt very superior about the place I live walking the streets of San Francisco last year and being harassed by homeless people every street corner asking me for money or drugs.

          Also yes, have at least two paychecks saved if that’s a possibility for you. It’s hilarious how you try to make your own advice seem like some alien concept that’s unachievable.

          I didn’t feel morally superior at all, but the way you people are unable to come up with any good excuse why homeless people don’t want to use the help that’s available to them and instead turn into raging incoherent idiots is quickly changing that.

        Had the dog when you became homeless.

        Found a stray who helped you, with emotional support and doggishness(finding food, staying safe), as has been a thing since before humans ever slept inside anything other than a fucking cave, to survive.

        Seems like you just want an excuse to hunt them for sport, because realizing they’re so fucking similar to you and youre like two pieces of paperwork (not even filed by you, doesn’t even need to be correct) away from being in that position is Fucking Terrifying, but you also don’t want to have a society where we don’t let this fucking happen to people, because you’re afraid you won’t get as many of your favorite treats.

        Don’t be that guy.

          Lmao all these assumptions and strawmen. It’s really not worth my time to respond to your incoherent ramble because I actually got my shit together. Good luck, don’t let your copium run out.

            So you don’t deny any of it? Just deflect abd reassure yourself that ‘I have my shit together, so it can’t happen to me’

                Why do they always say exactly that? As if I’m the one with the fucked coping mechanisms here, instead of responding to anything ive said, like its some sort of gotcha?

                    You’re not even responding to shit I said; youre just like three comments into trying to find an excuse why I’m someone you shouldn’t listen to, because compassion is too scary for you, but you would feel like such a huge ass arguing against the things I’ve said, and you know it.
