Try something else, for example:

outdoors dweller
outdoors
living on the street
neighbor
citizen
resident
human
housing-handicapped
undomiciled, the official term at the HRA
unhoused
indigeous
destitute
unestablished
unplaced
forsaken
or come up with your own kind, compassionate, maybe humorous term
So unhinged mod disappears then makes out-of-touch, vague, feelings-based decisions without consulting anyone. I feel like I've seen this play before.

Reddit is far worse than you could imagine. It's a megaphone echo chamber.

Pretty sure those milquetoast idiots on r/Portland are mocking people calling for law and order while their city is pillaged every single night

I got banned on a subeddit because someone asked if they were voting for Trump or Biden, I said Trump and explained and then they just banned me for supporting him, lmfao.

So I've got a little story to tell...

So last night I found out that my brother has one of his can't get right friends living in a tent in his backyard. The guy has a wife and 4 kids who live 4 hours away from my brother so I have no fukkn idea why he's in the backyard in a tent. My brother and his wife have a 3 bedroom house and no else lives there so I'm not sure why he isn't living in the house other than my sister in law is tired of putting up my bros helpless friends. I came across this while looking up some stuff about homelessness and shot water out of my nose when I read "undomiciled".

Oh, weird. I have some assumptions but they're just that. I do wonder what the heck is going on over there.

Lost it at "undomiciled," too. Like how in the world is destitute and forsaken more compassionate than a person without a home?

Forsaken sounds like the final homeless boss you have to defeat before you can become properly domiciled.

My wife is incredibly freaked out that my mother and brother treat the hobo in the backyard as a normal thing that people do. I learned to just roll with it and laugh it off or I would have been committed years ago. My wife just can't let it go and is bound and determined to find out why he is living in a tent instead of with his family.

It really does sound like a literal "not under my roof" situation.

Even from your brother's point of view, would you want someone like that in your house who's not related to you? He might wake up one morning and find all his chit took.

As for the OP, let me see if I can understand...

- Currently there are homeless people who go on the subs, see the word "homeless" and get offended even though most homeless use that word to describe themselves.

- If the word is from now on switched to "undomiciled", they'll now not be offended even though the post is saying the same thing.

Is that the mod's thought process? Someone help me out here.

There is no one size fits all solution in therapy, but there are approaches that must be changed based on multiple factors, homelessness being one of them.

What does this moronic subreddit want to refer to the homeless as? Home challenged? Domicile Deficient? House Hungry?
The retard offered a list:

"Try something else, for example:

outdoors dweller

outdoors

living on the street

neighbor

citizen

resident

human

housing-handicapped

undomiciled, the official term at the HRA

unhoused

indigeous

destitute

unestablished

unplaced

forsaken

or come up with your own kind, compassionate, maybe humorous term"





You cant say "homeless" but you can say "unhoused" that is the same fuking thing.

Also suggests you come up with a "humorous term" which would be mocking the homeless and isnt that what he was saying he wanted to prevent? fuking retarded.

As if homeless people are browsing reddit and offended by that. It's better than bum or hobo and it's literally a direct description of what their situation is. These SJW's care more about the feelings they personally have about homeless people than actually helping the homeless people. Remember guys, problems go away if you simply ban words associated with the problem. If nobody is allowed to be called homeless, we have solved homelessness.....
