you're being nasty donald

i don't even a tiny bit mean it in a nasty way, which you know, it just drives me crazy how childish you can be when you have the potential be so happy. i get that you're depressed and self-destructive but i care about you enough not to pretend it's cool that you're struggling and upset all the time.

10lb bag of protein powder is 80bucks and will last u a month, milk will run u 5 dollars a week, you can buy a 100 vitamin pills for a couple hamiltons, and then ur set for over a month

is it down to $80 now? where are you getting it from?



optimum nutrition off amazon dropped their prices temporarily to 83.25 like a week ago, i should have stocked up, but i didn't feel like making space for 50lbs of whey. it looks like it's back up to 98, but i think u can set up alerts so if it ever drops down, it'll alert u

In many places it's illegal to shut off heat during the winter months for non-payment (Chicago I know at least is included). If you move frequently and don't have a working cell phone it's very hard for them to track you down after the fact.

yeah and more generally, in most places tenant legal rights are actually way better than you think they are. pretty much everyone here is smart enough to do their own lawyering when it comes to tenant/landlord issues, just look up the statutes, stop by a legal aid place and pick up some brochures, google around to see if you can find online resources for law students/lawyers (e.g., the guy who taught me landlord-tenant law here in MN wrote a whole dang textbook and put it online).

You guys act lkie she's wallowing in her misery but just because you assign shame to dumpster diving doesnt mean she does. From another perspective it's fun, free and delicious. I dont know Im not taking sides here, I'm just sayin, from what i've read in this thread it sounds like only fools wouldn't eat out of the trash.

see this is the thing. I don't really even mind being broke

you opened the thread by talking about how you were miserable, had crippling social and mental disabilities, and are practically unemployable, which i incorrectly took to mean you weren't doing all that great.

radical leftism needs a business model like art patronage I guess. you'll find this months support payment in a dead drop under a trash can in central park (the poor side)

yeah, and dumpster diving was the one thing she had going for her!

seriously though when discipline talks about how many jobs she's applied for and how she treks out to her shitty temp job all the time i know she's gonna be ok eventually. she's got a fighting spirit, unlike some of us (me) who can't even be assed to apply for other jobs on account of no reason at all.
