CerealCrunch posted:Yeah, steal some gas you fuckin' retard. This dude sounds like he's a day away from having to start sucking dicks for bus fare. I don't think a 40 year old fat goon developer is in any shape to be out fighting bums for panhandling corners in the vegas heat. Even after he gets his butt bleeding under control I dunno if he can even handle hauling around a bag collecting cans - if there are any cans to be had. Vegas has to be one of the worst places to be homeless. So maybe he should start thinking a few steps ahead and preparing for absolute worst cases instead of sitting in the library clicking through coursera classes and slowly starving/bleeding out (of his rear end). Be ready to do what you have to do so you don't lose your car to a tow lot, because then you're sleeping in a cardboard box. This is all if he isn't completely bullshitting, because I dunno why he didn't have unemployment and EBT sorted out before he ran out of money for his apartment. I mean it seems like an apparently fairly smart guy would have to really not think ahead whatsoever in the face of a rapidly dwindling bank account to end up homeless in loving vegas, with apparently almost zero resources (2 bucks, a gallon of gas and a rotten sausage?), and no benefits coming in whatsoever.

op -- go to the ER to address your rectal bleeding. any bleeding other than minor bright red on toilet paper (not in your poo poo or on the toilet) is cause for concern. please go to the ER. any dark blood means you're almost dead.

Can someone else own me by explaining how cars use gas/that gas costs money? I haven't had enough of that straw man. Also this: Baddog posted:This is all if he isn't completely bullshitting, because I dunno why he didn't have unemployment and EBT sorted out before he ran out of money for his apartment. I mean it seems like an apparently fairly smart guy would have to really not think ahead whatsoever in the face of a rapidly dwindling bank account to end up homeless in loving vegas, with apparently almost zero resources (2 bucks, a gallon of gas and a rotten sausage?), and no benefits coming in whatsoever. I can understand if he can't do manual labor. I can understand if he can't collect cans. I can understand if he can't panhandle. I can understand if he can't steal gas. I can understand if he can't figure out how to get EBT. But I can't understand how he can fail all of those things simultaneously. Also OP, make getting a paypal your first priority, whether your story is real or not. You've got goons begging to give you $. It's like that parable about the guy who keeps refusing help because "god will save me" Drunk Nerds fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Sep 26, 2015 |

I mean, for poo poo's sake, Unexpected Road (recent homeless E/N success story) knew his way around getting to homeless shelters and hot meals, got certified in some job skill as part of a homeless program, knew the bus schedules to get to where he was going, and had a Paypal set up. Even for a homeless guy, OP doesn't seem to have his poo poo together.

Centripetal Horse posted:but I cannot reach it on 1/32nd tank of gas Is the car worth anything? Do you have the title? Is Vegas's public transportation worth a poo poo? If "yes" to all three, sell your car and buy a monthly bus pass. Have you looked into working unarmed security? It's either a desk job watching cameras or light patrol work. Overtime is frequently available. You'll also learn what areas of your facility don't get patrolled, so you can sleep there until you save up enough for a by-the-week hotel (which you might also be able to afford by selling your car).

I've known this goon through his forum posts for a while and don't think it's an elaborate ploy. If you were going to do that you'd do it on Reddit anyway. There's no attention seeking, no begging, no mention of ways you can send help, etc. Of course maybe he's a secret puppetmaster but that not likely IMHGO

So I'm assuming the OP is literally dead at this point. If he doesn't post at all in the next two days, he's most likely dead. Let's not be idealistic here, this guy was in a bad way before, he made a terrible decision motivated by heat and starvation, he was then even more hosed up, and only getting worse. He's dead. Las Vegas claims another victim.

Dear OP, I'm not sure that you'll come back to this. I have to say, at least you were able to blend in. Once, a few years back, I too was jobless, homeless, penny less. I spent two days, within that period, waking up in my blistering hot car, (me being 240lbs, a 'warm running body' as it is) which was dreadful. Making the 'walk of shame' into a gas station you've frequented a few times before to brush your teeth and fix your hair in the bathroom, leaving with only a .69 cent bottle of water to convince the cashiers you frequent you weren't a bum, whilst using their poo poo to 'tidy up' for the day. Hanging head, into the library. The town I was in did not seem to have a very condensed homeless population, so I was the only kid there, 22 years old. As I recall I mostly just used their wi-fi to watch all of Doctor Who (the newer stuff at the time) the two days I was there. (I had been waiting to be 'scheduled' after being hired at Mcfuckin' Donalds.) Which took about a week and a half from application, to interview, to uniform. Not to mention another 3 weeks out for physical cash. I had to leave the library every 2 hours or so, because once the librarian, or one of them, was particularly inquisitive about why I was there, and what exactly I'd been doing. As I said, there didn't seem to be any 'squatting' going on there, or around town. After the library, and 'first time' being homeless, while still having a car, I was so tired of it. I checked out the local 'union gospel mission' at about 2am. Having driven by many times on my way around town in my tenure at this particular city, seeing the crowds of people, standing around, doing nothing with their lives. Ugh. I sauntered up to the door, having made a two block walk to 'hide' my car, with expired tags, and no 'real' parking around. Once I got to the door, I noticed it was locked.gra There was only a radio, and the man on the other side said in a very stern voice to 'wait there' and he will be buzz me in. He was a shorter man, mid 60's, no hair, a truckers cap, big grandpa style glasses, and a curly, thick, nicotine stained mustache, with matching beard. He stepped behind his locked, a barred window, and handed me a form to fill out. Once that was said and done, he escorted me around the corner to a long hall of showers, and told me to strip. Very, well, he wasn't very friendly. Maybe I just have more respect for myself than that, maybe I was a 'bitch', but I decided not to go that route. I bounced around a lot, and a lot more happened in those 3 weeks until I got a real paycheck, actually more like 5 weeks, to achieve >$650 at once. Once I got my money, which I was able to save up to $1100 in a month and a half, living homeless, I moved the gently caress out of that city, and returned to my home town/city. That was 3 years ago, I'm 25 now, I'm a chef (I don't give AF about cooking, it's just good money, and semi-easy), and I'm in and out of becoming ASE certified, and fixing up cars. poo poo happens man. I just want you to know I've been there, and if you keep your head up you will walk away with a better understanding of the world. I guarantee it.

hope OP is ok I had a traumatic experience thrust me into marginal circumstances, and it's mainly through middle class privilege and solid friendships that I didn't end up on the street- but I did end up hitting up the food bank every week since Kansas- a state which renamed the Department of Social Services to the Department for Children and Families- made it extremely difficult to get EBT. I can't imagine what it'd be like to have to struggle on a street level, and I know we're each and most of us a sneeze away from being there. I've climbed back up to sustainable, and I can't have a bank account or ability to shoot some cash your way yet- but if you don't die of a medieval meat disease and you're ever in the KC area for some dumb reason, send me a PM and I'll buy ya beers in exchange for your stories.

okay OP my buddy works at a call center that hires regularly with a starting pay of $11/hr and full-time hours. it's on wigwam and stephanie. apparently you type closed captions for deaf peoples' phone calls. I assume you can pass a typing test. https://rn11.ultipro.com/SOR1000B/JobBoard/JobDetails.aspx?__ID=2394 he says to apply right away. I recommend you do it even if you don't want to work at a call center (and who does really?). 11 bucks is basically as good as it gets as far as temporary "mcjobs" go
