> cannot seem to kill
I live in a cold Canadian city that has a substantial population with drug addictions.
I was talking to a cop one night (he was off duty) and he was telling me about how you eventually learn some of the regular offenders names and stories. He told me how tough some of these guys are. How he'd pick one up for stealing and he's out in -30C with ganggreen on his leg.
"Cockroach energy" he called it.

- xeromal 3y agoI remember a video from long ago describing exactly what you mention. A tweaker riding a bike with a full sized fridge on his shoulder. Wild thing is that it wasn't even a full sized bike. lol. I think it was a BMX one.

- wnevets 3y agoReal nice to see that it's not just America that dehumanizes the homeless.
- rayiner 3y agoInteresting that’s what you jump to when OP didn’t say homeless, and instead mentioned things that are deliberate choices (stealing and drug use).
- nightowl_games 3y agoI'm not making light of the pain that man certainly endured, but I've started using Cockroach Energy in my regular lexicon.
