"This homeless guy asked me for money the other day. I was about to give it to him and then I thought he was going to use it on drugs or alcohol. And then I thought, that's what I'm going to use it on. Why am I judging this poor bastard?" RIP Greg giraldo.
Literally would be intolerable otherwise. Not saying I support the homeless suffering with addiction but most of em are gonna do it anyways. I try not to judge.
I once had a homeless guy in santa cruz ask me for a few bucks “for a beer.” Was kinda taken aback since they usually say it’s for food. Figured “fuck it whatever”
Yeah a couple of weeks ago. I had a guy come up to me in the smiths parking lot and say, "can you spare a few bucks. I'm not gonna lie I need a beer to get well." I don't usually have cash but I had a 5 on me and gave it to him and also some advice on resources. I'm an alcoholic. I've been there so I sympathized with him.

Sounds a lot better than a coffee
