13000/yr is doing pretty good in new york. that's enough to live inside of a hotdog stand

minimum wage is poverty everywhere in the usa. it implicitly means the person doesn't earn enough for benefits, which is the real danger. it's manageable to live on minimum wage if health remains intact, a person can eat cardboard with pasta sauce or whatever mre packets while living inside of a shoebox. but if they ever get sick, they will experience hell in the truest form because things like dental care, or general doctor checkups are unobtainable. it's like $250 just to see a dentist, over 1k for any dental work dealing with major cavities. it's miserable existence in every way imaginable.

congrats mate.

ugh these tumblrs are awful. yeah, okay, she found one racist and couple sexists. are all the rest supposed to deserve shaming just for wearing a fedora or a hat that isn't a baseball cap? nothing else sets them apart from what people typically write on dating profiles. they're guys who are trying to be quirky, trying to set themselves apart, maybe not with much success, but they're putting themselves out there because they want to find someone to share life with. re-posting their photos and excerpts from their profiles (private?) in order to mock them is plain bullying. it's bullying that belittles an individual's harmless personal choices; it's bullying intended to make them feel ashamed of things they like, believe in, of the kind of people they are – all for the bully's pleasure. take, for instance, one of the entries on page 4 (i'm not going to say which) who put that picture up not because he walks around all day as that zany guy who constantly spouts catchphrases from videogames and the internet, but because i feel more comfortable meeting people who might have something in common and want to broadcast that to a prospective date and maybe pique their interest. blind internet dating is stressful enough as is, just leave these guys and their fedoras alone.
