Lol I didn't mean dialing 911, just approaching some local cops.
Getting hit by a car, fake passing out and/or getting wrecked in a bum fight are also options...

I am at a different library, this time. This is a fancy-pants library. It's quite large, and I think it serves as some sort of depot or something, in addition to serving standard library functions. This library has spaces reserved for, "Low emission and fuel efficient vehicles only." The first car I saw parked in one is the famously fuel-efficient 2012ish Mercedes C300. A couple of spaces down from that was a car with the license plate, "IMOTIV8". This library does not seem to have an equivalent of the wifi room I've been living in at the other library. I miss the bumbrary :( This library does have huge padded seats with swing-out arms that you can rest things on, but overall it doesn't measure up by the standards of this homeless library dweller.

pro tip: mcdonalds doesn't care about your skills so don't even mention them. just tell them you really honestly need a job and you're a hard worker. i'm being like 98% serious here man. also if you have a car why don't you deliver food, delivery driver is like the easiest job in the world for a smelly hobo to get

I am also concerned about this, which is why I have given up eating. I turned down food my friend offered me, and I am barely touching the dry cereal in my car. All the food that goes in my mouth gets turned instantly into pain, and ejected from my bunghole in liquid form. I am drinking water as fast as I can get it down, and I am still obviously dehydrated.
Hey don't forget to consume electrolytes. If you can scrounge up $11 (maybe less), you can get oral rehydration salts from the drugstore. Alternatively, a friend can make some oral rehydration salts for you from salt and sugar.

Here's some stuff on first aid for serious diarrhea. They're aimed at health workers dealing with public health emergencies, but they contain basic info for at-home treatment.


I'll update this post with relevant info from these docs.


WHO Position Paper posted:

ORS is a sodium and glucose solution which is prepared by diluting 1 sachet of ORS in 1 litre of safe water. It is important to administer the solution in small amounts at regular intervals on a continuous basis. In case ORS packets are not available, homemade solutions consisting of either half a small spoon of salt and six level small spoons of sugar dissolved in one litre of safe water, or lightly salted rice water or even plain water may be given to PREVENT or DELAY the onset of dehydration on the way to the health facility. However, these solutions are inadequate for TREATING dehydration caused by acute diarrhoea, particularly cholera, in which the stool loss and risk of shock are often high. To avoid dehydration, increased fluids should be given as soon as possible. All oral fluids, including ORS solution, should be prepared with the best available drinking water and stored safely. Continuous provision of nutritious food is essential and breastfeeding of infants and young children should continue.
ORS stands for oral rehydration salts, or for oral rehydration solution in some cases. Try using a standard teaspoon/half-teaspoon (like from a set of measuring spoons) for the "small spoon."

There is actually validity in this person's suggestions. Employers are looking only for specific skillsets; if you emphasize skillsets beyond the job you apply for, they will assume you will leave employment as soon as you can find a more suitable job. So here is what you should do:

(1) Become clean-shaven
(2) Clean up
(3) Put on nice, clean cloths
(4) Apply for basic jobs at restaurants, convenience stores, retail
(5) Keep your information on the application targetted toward ONLY that specific job
(6) If you have more skillsets, perhaps you can explore opportunities once you are hired in your new workplace
(7) WORK SMOOTH

I'm happy to help, friend!

I feel like this is some sort of scam/troll, but maybe just because I've been here way too long.

If its not, I think you've definitely been getting paralyzed by all your issues/just trying to survive, and not getting a plan together to work on step by step to get out of the hole.

At this point though, you've definitely gotta concentrate on getting your medical poo poo taken care of asap. I think its just a massive hemorrhoid flairup, but even that can require some medical intervention if its serious enough.

After thats taken care of, concentrate on getting the thing on your face taken care of. Not only is skin cancer nothing to gently caress around with, if its already that big its probably messing with your ability to interview.

Then get EBT, so can get off the dry cereal diet. Until then, there are a ton of hotels around there with free breakfast right? I'm not quite sure of the logistics of hitting the casino buffets for free, but at hotel breakfasts you just roll in confidently and eat up. Maybe through a side door if you're looking that bad.

Then you gotta get gas in your car so you can keep moving it around, so it wont get towed (maybe this should be higher in the list). You have paypal right? Do you have a paypal debit card so you can get cash from it? Get it sent to your sausage-friend if you don't already. Then you can do things like visit a bunch of forums with a good story and get paypalled some money for gas. Siphoning gas at this point isn't actually that bad a tip. I mean, times sound really loving desperate. You can't lose your car with all thats left of your poo poo in it. All you need is a hose and a can.

Then maybe you can get back to working on less shady ways to get money. Times are definitely tough for older developers in between jobs. Let alone without college degrees. HR wants to see qualifications, and likes young people currently working. Doing free work for people with big dreams and no follow through leads to where you are now. Maybe time for a career change.

Hey Horse, any thoughts on going to a shelter, Salvation Army, or similar aid organization? If you don't trust institutions, Food Not Bombs is an Anarchist-run organization that gives food to hungry people. The Las Vegas group says they meet every Sunday and Monday. The FNB group in my city is pretty well connected with the coops and squats and assorted hippie subculture, I'd assume it's the same over in your neck of the woods. They might be able to connect you with people who can help, or at the very least they can give you some healthy food twice a week. Even offering to help them drive around they'd be able to cop you gas money.

Is this article any use? You need allies, dude, you deserve the right to crap under a roof. Please talk to someone, anyone local with the power to help you.

Another piece of advice that may or may not jive with you. There are a lot of good Christian churches (and others I assume, but I don't have experience with them) out there that have programs setup for this kind of stuff. Get semi-cleaned up, roll into a smaller looking church and tell someone your story. There's a solid chance you can get a place to say (your own place or staying with someone) and a warm meal at the very least.

You could even luck out and get a part time job mowing their lawn or doing random work for some cashola. My only experience with this type of thing is in smaller towns so no clue if you'll be able to make it happen in Vegas or not. Good luck regardless!
