When I lived in my car, my interactions with the police were them waking me up to see if I was dead or to kick me out. Interesting that you can get chummy with them. I also learned that there's two classes of homelessness, for the first part. There's the beggars/leeches, basically most people's idea of a homeless person. Helping them generally isn't possible because they have given up. Then there's the ones that are employed and are trying to climb out. They generally stay out of people's way. You tend to bump into them in places like a public shower or the library. Helping them is possible, but they also aren't asking for help.
Made some friends at Starbucks, which was my job at the time. Virtually none of them knew and were surprised I didn't ask for help. I can't say I befriended anyone from the more homeless-specific aspects of my life.

I bet in a different universe Brooke Bowman learned to code and became a fantastic game developer creating awesome indie games. :)
Dude she absolutely did. The ones from her current era are full of color and they're really hopeful
What!? o_O What's the game's name?
@willemvandebeek sadly hypothetical game from this era vs old Brooke era, which had a different vibe.
Oops, I misunderstood something, sorry.
@@willemvandebeek lol! I explained badly
I wrote a book about this! LEAN INTO THE CRINGE!
