How may I request food from humans that's allowed, or refrain from requesting food from humans that's allowed? (lemmy.world)

I'm attempting to find a consensual way to request food from humans, or to refrain from requesting food from humans.

~~Are you a dog or something? What is this? Just look back and forth from the food to the person and say please.~~

EDIT: okay I read through your post history, so I'm going to assume a few things about this post. Mainly that you need to look for a food bank or friendly church in the area. I'll post some links for you to look through.

I know you're looking for food and asking best how to ask without getting yelled at for it. Some of the best ways to prevent being in that position is being with a group of people that would be able to help when you are struggling. Look for groups that might interest you. Phoenix looks like they have a few different group events from bowling to darts. Meet up with friendly people and ask them. You will be able to work through a lot more issues in person.

Note: I can't vouch for how good these resources are, but check them out. The pics seems like the people are having fun. I think finding more of a community in person will help.

I posted this in more detail as a top level comment for OP, but figured I'd add it to your list as well.

It's normal for people to be openly abusive toward me, including authorities, such that I don't consider it appropriate attempting to socialize casually in-person. This is partly why I limit speaking publicly online. It can also be challenging finding a window where I'm able to travel and attend events, e.g. because being overexerted & undernourished is normal. I doubt any of these places are in walking distance. There's an issue of available places requiring more energy to walk to than the food refills, and I'm used to routines of foraging for food from the ground or in garbages. People often don't tolerate foraging from public garbages though, and can get violent about it. Solitude has been good for me, though isn't a strict requirement.

What?

[–] beumuth@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I'm specifying 'from humans' partly because I often pray to deities for food, e.g. Yellow Jambhala.

Going by the other comment from user Notyou, I take it you're looking for a food bank or other food donation center. If you're in the USA, you should really check this site...

https://whyhunger.org/

You can also simply text your ZIP code to their number 1-800-548-6479, and within around 10 seconds or less their automated service will text you back with food donation centers in your area.

Stay healthy, stay fed, and stay safe out there in these troubling times.

There's also findhelp.org, which seems similar. I've looked into resource directories, and tried out many places, and typically it takes more energy going to & using these places than the food given. Doing routes through garbages has been more reliable, convenient, & nourishing, despite the obvious uncleanliness.

dealing with humans is tough. and we are all humans here so we get how we can be. being that we are humans. yup. One good way to to use thier primitive paper token trading system or the pathericaly slightly more advanced payment systems. Earth beings are very motivated by their economic token system

In the karmic view, generosity automatically returns merit (good karma), which is more guaranteed than money. Money isn't necessarily valuable - e.g. monetary systems collapsing, theft.

good karma? I think we are talking about different earths.

Don't despair - good does happen. Present intention is the means.
