Anon gets rid of crackheads

Always keep a couple crackheads. Also, make sure you filter your crackheads. You want the ones who'll help you clean your garage for $10, not the ones who will clean out your garage for about $10 down at the pawn shop.
Promote a positive environment, help turn the crackden into a crackhome.
- You joke, but the crackhead hooker next door to me in Chicago would clean my place, top to bottom, for a 20 spot. Wouldn't dare steal anything because I was good money for a regular rock.
  
  I've known a few like that. Why I joke about it. I knew a guy, if he could have kept his shit together, he coulda had his own damn shop. Dude could fix about anything mechanical, get it done quicker than some of the shops around the place.
  Saw plenty of 'em working in construction, too. Keep it together long enough to make some decent cash, disappear for awhile, come back when they needed more. You got used to rotating faces, got to know which ones would try to screw you over. Too many times you'd see one come up alone and find out the buddies they had didn't make it through the last.
  
  That's the thing about addicts. They're still people. Some get into a bad situation and know better than to fuck up the few good opportunities they'll get. Many will fuck themselves over for easy and quick gains. The latter group is why my wife would kill me if I hired an addict prostitute to clean our home.
  
  You let someone clean your whole place for that shitty pay? What are you? A crack junkie too? Have some dignity and pay a human in a shitty situation a decent compensation. Jeez. Our cleaning-lady makes that in an hour after taxes and I even feel like I cheat her.

  This guy knows his junkies.
  There's a slight but very crucial difference.
  
  This guy knows his junkies.
  Maybe read that username again.
- rent has gone up 40% because the crackheads are now moving in
- You have never lived in a Crack friendly neighborhood.

You just have to control the rent by buying a gun and shooting in the air every other day.
- Then someone will steer their drone next to you, yelling "We have been monitoring you. Disperse immediately!"
  
  Just shoot the drone.
- Please use blanks and ear protection for safety.
- Real story. A friend of mine was working on new year’s, maintenance trailer inside a factory. Suddenly a puff of dust. A new hole on the ceiling and at his desk, the line going two feet from his head, and a ~.45 round at the rubberized metal floor.
  Bullets go down about as fast as they go up.

Gotta fire some rent control rounds into the air.... it's all about #balance
- If you're going to do this, use blanks or shotgun with birdshot. That way you're not raining lead on some unsuspecting person a mile or so away and birdshot is just small bbs that don't have a high terminal velocity.
  
  I dunno. Family rained on by stray bullets printed everywhere will REALLY drive the rent down

Now get a recording of a couple different gunshots and repeat the process. Problem solved!
- Recording?! What is this, amateur hour?
  
  The inevitable end to this is that you mount a gun on the drone.

just renewed my rent. It went up 30%
Flies a drone above anon
Drone speaker: "Womp womp"

That's why you befriend them instead of scaring them away.
Until the fact that you befriended them gets you fired because it scares your coworkers.
- Or gets you robbed

I lived in a run down part of town a few houses down from a crack/coke distributor in college and once a friend locked himself out of the car. Before we could even panic someone popped out with a hanger and opened it in like 30 seconds. Crisis averted!
Also got pulled over on my own street regularly though (“you looked nervous”) and my dad almost got arrested when he was dropping off plants (cacti and flowers).
- "You look nervous"
  "Bruh I am nervous, all the time, everywhere."
  
  It’s because you pulled me over my guy

- There are some radical left-wing neighborhoods in Germany, that try to keep rents low by shooting into the air with blank firearms
  
  I half-expected the German radical left-wing to keep rents low by shooting into the landlords with firearms.

Fuck! That drone was just some chump? I'm telling the boys we got the block back!!

This whole comment section is nuts. Who knew a green text about drones and crackheads could set off such vitriol filled discussions about gendered language, homelessness, and whether human dignity can be measured in dollars?
- Is there a community for wtf Lemmy takes? Because this comment section is a trove for some of that

No good deed goes unpunished

This one's for every friend who got taken off the streets
So the upper class could sleep, so the upper class could sleep
I'll miss the spraypaint and slashed tires.
-Pat "the Bunny" Schneeweis
- This is the first time I've ever seen any one in the wild mention Pat the Bunny. Painfully under appreciated.
  
  Agreed. Glad to see he seems to be doing well and has an album coming out with his new band next month!

What a dehumanizing way to talk about homeless people :/
People you know, and yourself, could become homeless tomorrow. This dehumanization leads to violence against homeless people.
They're people too and they deserve a place to be. The solution to homelessness is not just moving them to another side of town, but among other things reducing the cost of apartments and houses.
- Are all Crackheads homeless?
  
  Not necessarily, but it is often used as a derogatory word about homeless people.
  Whether it's perfectly synonymous, my point still stands about respecting the humanity of other people
  
  Nope, shit untill housing prices went up so high most crack heads had stable housing.
  But in most places income assistance isn't enough so they end up homeless
- Let's assume this is real, if you are noisy to the point of bothering others and you happen to be spending your time on the street doing it, being called derogatory names is expected, irrespective of your home ownership status.
  
  The post is not just about calling people derogatory names, it is also about flying a drone with a voice message. When push comes to shove, the voice message is a threat of calling the police. Where are the crackheads going to go now ?
  They have no other place to be. So asking them to leave is just asking them to go to a new place, and then a new place after that and so on, while each day some of them die due to cold, violence and other accumulating factors.
  This is a systematic issue, and we need to fix the system and be compassionate, rather than just push poor people around.
- Who said they were homeless? That's a pretty pejorative assumption you're making.
- The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
  Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.
  
  The story, whether fact or fiction, talks about homeless people this way and dehumanises them.
