Seems like a good time to start planning out that backup address, since you're housed and safe right now (I assume.) Hope your luck is better than mine, but much of this information I gained from the experience of resorting to backup-backup-backup plans. Good place to start is figuring out the cheapest place you could get a monthly lease in the areas you are familiar with. One of my friends just happened to have that info handy when I almost became homeless a few years ago, and being able to very quickly act on that info ended up saving me a few rough weeks.

i'm not a furry

i don't f/w spaces if i don't see furries around & welcomed

for one i want to know its a place people don't have to pass to feel safe

It isn't a "claim that you need multiple addresses." Think critically about the problem. A person who has MH diagnosis or addiction diagnosis, and is also at risk of de-banking due to address instability needs to have a legal address they can prove access to. Proving you reside at an address is how you stop the process of de-banking. For people who are housing unstable, it is wise to have backup plans including two addresses.

it is pretty wild dude but I think some of the people resorting to sane washing are burned out by all the cable news / huff post / raw story kayfabe

they see somebody pointing at a threat and instead of add that to their mental load, they'd rather shuffle it aside as panic bait or whatever

i kinda get it

my hope is that if their banks actually threaten them with this they remember "oh yeah, i've heard of this, it has something to do with my address getting challenged" and then maybe they can figure it out in time? then they don't have to deal with getting labelled like this and losing services.

I'm completely anti-crypto but that's not the topic.

This is a warning about an angle of attack against people. I'm not advocating a product. My suggestions are to make sure you have trustworthy, legal access to multiple addresses should your housing become unstable, and to have diversified access to real banking services through both traditional banks and credit unions.

Ehhh you are correct but some people might think that having $15,000 or $25,000 USD on hand, active direct deposits going would be enough for them, no.

You need to have "fuck you" money, like you need to be able to immediately buy an address to be immune to this. Many landlords will not rent to you without bank statements. You cannot buy property without an address unless you can do it in cash.

Pure propaganda. "Make the people who don't believe in AI Genies sound like bigots, say they have slurs."

You can tell when boomer americans try to make up something "the internet is doing" because it always sounds like some 1900s huckster shit they saw on TV between paint chip snacks

yeah it's a pretty straight line of succession from Washington's founding of the slave empire to the genocidal empires in Europe, the reintegration of the Nazis into the American empire and our present fascist regime

that just seemed a little deep for a 50501 comment where one may have to insist that verbs have meaning in the first place

gosh i hope no Prussians are reading this
