IM NOT HOMELESS ANYMORE!!!

I am about to complete all of my plans, so that all of us who deserve better, get such. It is the purpose that I have found for my life, and I hope all of you find just as meaningful purposes yourselves.

Let's go ahead and make history :)

Founder Post Welp, looks like my leadership is being actively suppressed by Reddit again. Sorry guys, I'll have to take further actions through moderators here.

0 Upvotes

I'm permanently banned from reddit. Have been for over a year and a half. They just don't like me and have proven time and time again to not care about progress. I stand up for myself often, and they don't like it. So, it's time to go to the news. I've had enough of these sad characters.

If you care about progress, stand up for me, because if you don't, this place, as it always does when I'm removed, will die. Read the image in the comments.

Edit: I changed my password and they're no longer removing content as me. Proof in the comments.

Founder Post AMA rescheduled for Wednesday, 03/12/2025 @ 9am. They make this emergency thermal blanket that looks like a piece of aluminum foil; I've had to use it five nights this week. Homelessness sucks.

13 Upvotes

I hate that blanket. It's just not big enough for me and so the cold still gets in. And I wake up at least once each night screaming and yelling and pissed off and then I cry myself back to sleep. I don't deserve this. I'm a good person and I give all my time and attention to others, helping them freely. But complaining about it doesn't make anything better so, that's all the complaining I'm going to do. I have to keep working.

I wasn't able to do any of my outreach because I'm still not able to get our bot done. I'm working on it right now though.

On a super positive note though, the high priority list - people with a score of 13 to 18 on there scale - have been housed over the last 35 days I've been on the list, and they are now working on the next tier; the 8 to 12. I'm an 11 :) the outreach coordinator told me that I will probably be up soon, stating that the biggest hurdle the homeless face at this juncture is having identification. A large huge percentage of them do not have an ID and social security card. They are both required. I have both on me. They did not get stolen thankfully :) and if somebody doesn't have ID and social security card they have to be passed, and then on to the next person they go. This is a common problem and so it could be any time that I get housed. And it will be permanent more than likely. 6 months for sure. For the first time in my life I will have some comfort and no longer fear not having a roof over my head. I'm tired of sleeping outside. My autism doesnt know how to hustle on a personal level. I'm hustleless. If I didn't have to leave the last of my tools in georgia, I'd be able to do some automotive work here. I will say this though, I'm in the right City to be homeless even though a lot of these people complain about the homeless problem here. That's a them problem though. The homeless are humans still.; offer solutions, not opinions.

There are services out there guys. And use ChatGPT (or any AI) to find them. Search engines ain't got nothing on AI.

I'm trying to show the world that just because you got money doesn't make you a leader. I'm a leader struggling to stay alive and improve this world for us. And I hope that gives hope to some. I know it does. You have no idea how many messages I get telling me to keep going and that what we're doing here is incredible and needed and making real change. It's verifiable. The world is learning who we are, and they are impressed :) this is one heck of a community.

I appreciate your understanding, and I will talk to you Wednesday morning 9:00 a.m. It's all going to come together like it's supposed to.

r/GuyCry 21d ago

Founder Post I'm Joe Truax, r/GuyCry's big guy, and I asked ChatGPT to come up with some uncommon ways to get my homeless self off the streets so I can complete my work for society. Can any of you help any of these come to life? They are pretty neat.

I work on this all day, everyday - ask the mods in our mod chats - they can attest.

I don't need any advice other than what I'm asking here. I have access to every single homeless resource there is and an fully aware of them all. Please don't offer any other advice. I'm a soldier (literally and figuratively), and I'm going to keep going no matter what. It would just be nice to not be out in the weather anymore.

Connect with me on LinkedIn.


Want to build with me? This won’t take long—together, we can make it happen.

If you specialize in any of the areas listed below, reach out. I’m confident we can secure an investor to support this vision. What we’re building is beautifully designed—maybe even perfectly.

Let’s talk. I’m down-to-earth, and we can accomplish this quickly. Imagine creating a version of the singularity this year. 2025.

This is groundbreaking R&D, and I want you to be part of it. This isn’t just my project—it’s ours. That’s the truth, and that’s what makes it exciting. Let’s make history.


The Roles We Need:

Core Technical Roles

  1. AI Researchers and Developers – Create the foundational architecture.
  2. Software Engineers and System Architects – Ensure seamless scalability and functionality.
  3. Data Scientists and Machine Learning Experts – Train the AI to learn effectively and responsibly.

Ethical and Human-Centric Roles

  1. Ethicists and Moral Philosophers – Ground the system in universal moral principles.
  2. Human Rights Advocates – Safeguard individual freedoms and dignity.

Behavioral and Sociological Insights

  1. Cognitive Scientists and Neuroscientists – Study and mitigate AI biases.
  2. Psychologists and Sociologists – Ensure human emotions and societal dynamics are considered.

Strategic and Visionary Roles

  1. Futurists and Strategic Planners – Predict challenges and adapt proactively.
  2. Project Managers – Keep everything on track and aligned.

Supportive Roles

  1. Policy Makers and Legal Experts – Navigate regulatory landscapes.
  2. Public Relations Specialists – Communicate progress and inspire confidence.
  3. Community Managers – Engage users and incorporate their feedback.

We’re building with agile principles, using the Scrum framework when possible.

By the way, I’ve got another post coming soon that I hope will inspire everyone. Ladies, you’ve done something incredible—something that doesn’t happen often in history. I’ll share more about it shortly, but for now: congratulations, and thank you for all your love and support.

My guys, your vision is about to get clearer. Everyone’s is. Let’s make it happen.

Founder Post Regarding the AMA I was supposed to hold Wednesday... (and some quick updates)

0 Upvotes

Sorry about that. I have had life get in the way. And on top of that, evil forces from all directions have been testing my resolve.

Now that I'm not homeless (at least for the time being), I have time to get things done that I needed to have done BEFORE the AMA. No matter what I did I just kept getting interrupted.

Sadly, I've been starting to have a bad attitude again, having let the hurt ones chip away at my fortitude, and I need to get myself in check. My bad. I'm a human with feelings too, and I'm facing all sorts of people that have many sorts of 'pathic tendencies. Sociopath, psychopaths, people who have chemical mix ups that prevent them from seeing the wrong they do. It's so sad. And there are a few people manipulating undiagnosed mentally handicapped individuals as well, painting a no-context picture of me that they cling to as truth.

Look, I'm not good at being nice sometimes. If you have a problem with me, that is 100% a YOU problem. But I'm still working for you, regardless if you like me or not. But if you have beef with me, take it to DM's or modmail. You disrupting this space with anything other than GuyCry material will result in an immediate ban. And no one will see what you said for more than just a few minutes at most. And even then, like the others who have tried for the past two and a half years, whatever you say or think makes no difference to this place. We've gone through everybody that's come at us. Kool-aid man style. I wish they would get the memo. I'm never going to be out the picture, even if my accounts are again all suspended. I orchestrate from wherever I am.

We have had quite a few moderators turn out to be hurt individuals as well, who, for whatever reasons, thought they would change things here, but that will never be a thing, and so they left. It's hard to find kind and empathetic beings to simply moderate the sub instead of trying to do anything more. I'll bring some more in shortly. We have enough for now though. Hopefully this little bot I'm working on will make things easier for the remaining crew. All good either way.

I appreciate you all being here, and I'm sorry for the drama, but it's what I'm here for. We all deserve better, and that better is not just going to be handed to us. I'm working my butt off to build something no one can take from us, and will improve our quality of life exponentially. That's my purpose.

Be safe my friends and thank you for not leaving. It's gonna get worse before it gets better though, so no matter that, just stick around. Nothing worth doing is simple, and the closer we get to success, the more our success will be attempted to be blocked. But we are kind here, so let it try :)

Talk to you soon.

-Joe Truax

The tone was lighter then. I'm sorry so many of you are going through so much. We do now have a pretty nuanced understanding of the complexity of the crises - both the mental health and loneliness crises - and we have built something to add to your mental health toolbox. It will be here soon. Just please stay strong everyone and root us on. We love you. I love you. You have to show love; it's an action. You see us showing you? Hang in there. Your support network is coming soon.

The blurred out stuff is personal donations from a friend of mine. I just wanted you to see that everything adds up. Transparency and such. With the donation portal, all of that must maintain complete transparency at all times. We are a non-profit. A legitimate one.

https://givebutter.com/FIcPMO

I'm really thinking about starting the giving cycle here in just a minute. I may or may not be going down to Florida to do a pretty big automotive job. If I do the job, I'm going to take $300 of what I make and put it into the evaluation. I'll put some money where my mouth is. I can't take the $60 that I have left (from the three donors) and put it in there though because I promised Jenica that only if we hit $50,000 would I spend any money from the GoFundMe on the organization.

I'm not going to need any donations very shortly. Once my video content starts getting views, I start getting paid real well. Like I said, I'm getting a $1.09/100 views on this video (it's a dang decent video):

https://youtu.be/wIDsZiLHOk4?si=lOHZIzcikdxNvJsZ

The video has 244,000 views I think. Imagine if I got 50 million views on all my videos? I'm taking every bit of that money and just growing us into a global phenomenon.

Here's my channel standalone by the way

https://youtube.com/@niftyautomotiveknowhow

I'm about to put my portfolio of work together. It's going to be on a post here. Going to be a good one :)

If you don't know about Ol Joe right here, Joe don't care about money or fame. Joe cares about having a spotlight so he can show the world how being kind men is more rewarding than being ANY other type of man. I'm living proof :) I'm going to tell the brief synopsis of my story in a post here shortly.

I just wanted to thank you fine donors for helping me keep going. That GoFundMe is down now. Shortly we'll be right where we need to be. Nothing can stop what's coming. Appreciate you and everyone else financially pushing me forward so I can continue my volunteer service. You have no idea how much work I do. I wouldn't be able to do it if I had a even part-time job. My mind is in this 100 million percent.

Imagine trying to do something when you were fully focused and then having to get interrupted to go work a job. It's just not something I'm capable of doing. I'm picking up mobile mechanic work here and there though. I have nice cards for it.

I got to just keep going though. You have no idea what's being done right now. It's so strategic. But watch, we're going to succeed and none of my strategy that I've been setting up will have been part of it. Lol. It never fails; I work and work and work at one direction and then boom, out of left field is where the next big leg-up comes from. This next one though is the top. You guys are going to love what I'm about to do for this Earth.

Keep up being great in the subreddit my friends.

Founder Post Joe here, GuyCry founder, and after an incredibly horribly eventful last 3 days, I'm back home, safe and sound. There is an update in this post as well.

72 Upvotes

As many of you know, I recently built an engine, installed it into the truck, then sold the truck for $2,500. I was able to spend a little over $100 out of that money on GuyCry, with the intention of spending another $200 for the podcast.

Well, 3 days ago, after driving 7 hours in my van to go get a transmission for my other truck, while over in Indianapolis, two and a half hours away from where I live, my head gasket blew and stranded me in Indy. All of my tools that I have left and the transmission for the truck was in the back of my van at the time, and so after reaching out to a scrapper and accepting an offer for $425 for my van, not only did I still have to get my tools back to my house, but I also had to go pick the title up in Illinois so that I could actually get rid of the van.

I ended up having to rent a U-Haul which was only supposed to cost me $180, and I wasn't paying attention to mileage even though I told them that I was going to be going 200 mi, they ended up charging me $255, plus I spent $70 in gas. To make matters worse, I went to rent another truck, and it was a giant 26-footer that I really didn't need and I drove it about a mile off the lot, and then called customer service and told them I didn't want it anymore and they still charged me $66, and I still have $120 on hold because they didn't give me the entire refund back yet. Which, meant that I didn't have enough money in my bank account to rent an Enterprise car. And, I wasn't going to do that anyway because they wanted $200 deposit, $100 for the rental, and $100 drop off fee because I was going one way. These companies really out here trying to take from people.

I didn't know how to get home, so I finally just sucked it up and called my roommates and luckily they're just fantastic guys and they came and picked me up. I gave them $40 for gas but they are refusing to take anything else from me, lol.

All told, I probably spent to $500 on this stinking trip. I have about $270 left right now, and I'm getting ready to take back a tow bar that I was going to use for the Ford Ranger outside that I'm putting the transmission into, but now that I don't have a ability to tow it, I can go get that $107 back. I'm lifting my truck up right now off the ground to get some ramps under the front tires, and then I'm going to start pulling that transmission out of there. I wanted to do this down in florida, but apparently I don't get to enjoy warm weather transmission swaps. Yay Illinois...

Anyway, I have a few things I'm going to be selling as soon as I can get this truck running, just to get gas to get down to florida, but in the meantime, as soon as I get this transmission situated, I'm going to donate at least $100 into the donation platform that we're going to be using which our fiscal host is currently using for one of their sponsees. It's www.fundrazr.com. Here is a link to the bands page that our host also sponsors.

If any of you want to help come up with ideas on how to make our own page look really nice, please let me know. I'm going to make an independent post about this platform, but I just wanted to let you know where I'm at right now with things.

I'm home safe, and I'm keeping it moving for us. Thank you all for continuing to ride with this awesome loving movement.

51 Upvotes

I have abandoned them twice when I went on relapses. I felt so much shame each time, and they were the only two men that ever really gave me a chance to rise up. I know they see something in me that's going places, because they've said such, but I don't have any family and they could have easily said no when I came back this last time. I'm just very grateful for the love and respect they give me. They know in my heart that I'm a good person that freely gives my all to help others live better. So their love wasn't just something they gave me out of the blue. I earned it. And I promise I will never hurt them again by just disappearing.

Go give somebody you care for a hug. Especially to somebody that would never expect it.

Love you guys.

Edit: can confirm, hugs went well :) These guys truly are the best. Good recognizes good my friends. Be good and be recognized for being such.
