How may I request food from humans that's allowed, or refrain from requesting food from humans that's allowed?

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.

I don't have HIV, based on tests.

There's exactly two known cases of possible exposure, both over two years ago. The first was when handcuffs were applied too tightly, and it caused bleeding and got infected; the second was getting poked by a needle when trying to clear out an area to sleep in nature. I took a test around two years ago, then one last week. My personal experience is that wildlife is more civil & rational than industrialized civilization.

I vow to never tell a deliberate lie.

There is the mental category śāṭhya in Buddhism, a kind of dishonesty that is always bad.

There is 'allowed lying' within games, like the card game 'Cheat' (or B.S.), or social deduction games. The vow extends to these sorts of 'allowed deception' games - I won't play (or lie within) them.

There are cases like a trusted doctor lying to a patient as a last-resort to save their life, that can be beneficial. The vow extends to these cases - I won't lie even to spare lives. I think it's relatively more beneficial for me to set this extra commitment of honesty, though I don't think it's necessarily beneficial for others to take this sort of vow.

I gave Coyote permission to lie to me whenever he wants, because I trust him like that. This is from a personal view though, that he's an enlightened bodhisattva.

Requesting loving-kindness (metta).

I'm willing to attempt to migrate elsewhere and refraining to speak here. I need to currently though, because I don't know anywhere that tolerates me speaking. My understanding is that people are struggling to refrain from killing me, and I'm told this many times. May I have public permission to migrating elsewhere?

I dislike when people are violent toward me.

I follow Buddhist ethics, prayed to Ratnasambhava Buddha to guide and protect the backyard qua refuge, and want to make a miniature flower-box stupa for insects/birds. Regarding the miniature flower-box stupa, note in the Lotus Sutra, the Buddha says:

Those who made rock stupas,
Stupas out of sandal, aloe, deodar, and other woods,
As well as brick, tile, mud, and other materials;
All those who made buddha stupas
Out of piles of earth in desolate places;
And even children in play
Who made buddha stupas out of heaps of sand—
All such people have certainly attained
The path of the buddhas.

I live in Phoenix, and am being threatened, gaslit, & yelled-at in-person while typing this (without responding or engaging).

I don't have access to transportation, and have been trying to get bike repairs.

I was homeless previously, and there was a Navajo man who invited me to visit his place in the Navajo Nation. I've been wanting to go, and have been requesting e.g. help with food while migrating.

There's an LGBTQ reading of the film Toy Story (1995) that I'm unsure has been considered. One element is how "to infinity and beyond" references the transfinite numbers; there's allusion to Alan Turing, and AI is a topic.

The HDMI port still works on this Chromebook, despite the built-in screen being unusable. Though, this was supposed to be a temporary while a Linux laptop that was destroyed in violence was being replaced; that Linux laptop that was destroyed was a replacement for another that was destroyed in violence, which was a replacement I paid for from one that was stolen from me, which was a replacement for an old laptop I needed to abandon when entering homelessness. I'm requesting my father/family to replace it, which I think is appropriate. Though, there's a higher issue of an intolerance toward generosity. I'm of the view of so-called Dharmic religions (e.g. Buddhism) that there is an underlying law of karma such that generosity results in karmic merit that guarantees pleasant results. Everything I do in my career I offer freely. Money often seems like virtue training wheels, and it's bothersome to even have to regard. I took vows several years ago to refrain from handling tangible currencies (e.g. cash or cards), and to refrain from entering commercial buildings.

I have a roughly 10ft by 10ft porch attached to a 10ft by 10ft open yard area. Following ethics of abstaining from killing beings & abstaining from destroying plant life has lead to designing the back yard qua ecological refuge/shrine, qua bodhisattva. I'm wanting to request advice & material support regarding some of the modules & micro-modules, as future posts - e.g. lining the small hanging solar-powered bird(/insect) bath with sepum & elfin thyme. More immediately, I really need the Linux laptop replaced and for my bike to be repaired.

May I have permission to speak?

There are people & cultures that don't recognize the existence of 'male homosexuality'. This can vary from denying that it exists within humans, within nature, or as a sort of category. There's also those that recognize it as a category, though as something disallowed or punishable. And, there's also those who disprefer the sexuality for other reasons, and are intolerant of it.

My ethnicity, as I've been told, is half Puerto Rican, a quarter Ukrainian, and a quarter English/Scottish. There are those who aren't tolerant 'ethnic mixing', as one example, which I think is influenced by how ethnic category systems can force a sort of divisive choosing here.
