Could you describe your situation a bit better in terms of general conditions? I have some knowledge but it is mostly relevant to the conditions in my country. Stuff like wheater, police attitude, crime, etc.

Anway, some things i suggest to the people i work with (i am a social worker, have experience with migrants who received little to no support) include:

  • there are apps that allow you to buy leftover store products at a dirt cheap price. In my country it's called "TooGoodToGo" and you can buy "closed boxes" of products for like 2 dollars. For example a bakery will throw in some croissants, some bread and a couple sandwiches. At least in Switzerland, with high living costs, it is by far the most efficient way to spend your money and getting stuff that's ready to eat.

  • Get to know the public spaces in your area. You can spend a lot of time in a nice and comfortable building if you care to look for places like libraries, public centers or clubs, and you'll also mitigate one of the main dangers of homelessness: social isolation.

  • Prioritize hygiene, washing your clothes and your car. You say you have a job so money shouldn't be a giant issue - don't be cheap on this stuff. It's way more important than we think, both practically, socially and psychologically.

  • Do anything in your power to maintain your network of friends and acquaintances. Being socially integrated negates most of the psychological challenges normally posed by homelessness.

  • This is obvious, but in general keep yourself occupied. The more time you spend doing stuff in places, the less time you spend thinking about the feelings of instability and vulnerability that comes from not having a house.

Anyway, i feel like having a job and a car (assuming you are financially somewhat stable) puts you in a good situation. It will suck for a while, but you have all the cards to make it. Good luck comrade, let us know how it goes

as a rule of thumb, when those figures complain about a lack of ammo it's for one of two reasons:

  1. they need to create the perception that the army is lacking in its ability to protect the country, thus manifacturing consent for higher military expenditure and whatnot.
  2. they want to make the enemy think they are weaker than they actually are. This is what both Russia and Ukraine have been doing in Bakhmut, each complaining of a shortage of shells in order to encourage the other side to get out of cover.

Armies do not voluntarily expose their weak points, so assume that whenever army officials say shit like this, it's not genuine.

cosa non darei per poter contrabbandare armi alla repubblica partigiana dell'Ossola di notte e minacciare i fascisti di giorno come fece mio nonno

  • technique and form over weight
  • nobody is actually looking at you
  • weed before weight training feels like a bad idea but actually isn't
  • find a buddy and track each other on some app, competition does wonder for consistency and progress
  • drink a shitload of water
  • get a timer and actually track your pauses inbetween sets
  • there is no best exercise. Some objectively suck, but in most cases the best exercise is the one that suits best your skeleto-muscular layout. Don't get lost in the "uhhrr duhrr a supenated retroflexed grip provides a better stimulus to the bottom 4 fibers of the latissimus dorsi", that's for kynesiologists - you'll get better results by sticking to what feels good

lemme tell you, social work is the best professional field to recruit from. Everyone is at least progressive and has people skills

the one thing that makes me proud about my family is that we are called out BY NAME on wikipedia as having aided and hosted italian partizans in Ticino

Istg i can't wrap my head around how people are still tolerating burning literal billions into feeding and celebrating monarchs.

Like literally. At least a president runs the country.

I almost feel bad for the green one, he's fucked either way. If he wins, he's stuck between empowered and emboldened literal nazis, the CIA and blackrock. If he loses, he's either gonna be jailed or executed
