You know that shit about institutional ptsd being worse and less useful than the homeless kind?  Well, now having experienced a bit of both - can 100% agree.

(drivers can make good friends)

How to use a computer in good ways and in moderation
new ways to get food
The uses of free condiment packets
takeout/delivery can be very useful
Sleep and shelter
