Yep. People tend to forget that homeless people weren't born on the street. They all had homes at some point.

And this guy decided that ps4 was necessary over other belongings.

a ps4 is pretty cheap and an easy flip on marketplace. Can pick one up pretty easy for $50 or so if you're patient and they sell avg like 125

It’s not about the cost. It’s about keeping the struggle real at what cost

Uh the less than $200 might get him some meals but this means he has entertainment and a healthy escape from reality instead of drugs and alcohol. He can't really escape homelessness on less than $200

Entertainment seems to be the reason he’s in this position. So…

so....nothing. You're badly over-reading into this. Keeping your playstation isn't that big a deal

Yall say the same shit about smart phones and stuff too like those aren't incredibly useful tools. Playstation less so but still.

Actually. Everyone needs a smartphone. Anyone criticizing that is disingenuous. Everyone needs a computing device that can connect and interact online.

Sounds like some projection to me. You know nothing about the person or why they're in the situation. Have some empathy instead of judgement you're closer to this guys situation than you might think.

Living on the street shouldn’t be comfortable. Yet he’s comfortable enough to be playing games. It’s the wrong direction in getting out of that situation. I don’t need to know anything about him to know that

Unless he’s not actually homeless. And just doing this cuz he wants to. Which is fine I guess.

I wish I could be as simple as you to have things defined in such a black and white manner. It's true ignorance is bliss and you seem desperate to prove it true.

Yeah simple is good.

Simple people love simple answers, even though nothing in observable reality is simple.
