Does Trump want to take away my government assistance?

[stalkerforlife]

I get 753.00 a month for my depression/anxiety.

I get 400.00 a month in food stamps for me and my two kids.

My rent is 700.00 a month, which leaves 53.00 to go towards the utility bill.

As you've all seen, I'm very ugly; therefore, jobs don't want to hire me. Society treats me like shit and uses me to feel better about themselves. I have no special skills to overcome my repulsive face, so I have to apply for jobs that involve dealing with the public and no corporation wants my face representing them.

I truly lost my shit after Trump was elected, but that's because I fear for my well being.

Clinton understands there are people like me that fall through the cracks and really have no place in this world; she has fought for us for a long time.

Disenfranchised.
Voiceless.
Unaccepted.

Clinton at least understands.

[HarryCallahan]

If you are too fvcking stupid to comprehend that there are three tiers of the federal government or to wear a condom when you stick your micro ***** into your ham planet girlfriend, thus preventing another generation of acne-scarred, land-cows from having to go through the same excruciating misery as you, then you starving to death is just a real time manifestation of Darwinism.


I'm pulling for the gene-pool in this one.

[Patrick Chewing]

Jeff, time to ban OP again.

[stalkerforlife]

Why be so hurtful?

God made us to love one another.

Disenfranchisement, being unaccepted, being an outcast...the ugly like me can't help ourselves.

Why make us suffer more?

A long time ago I concluded that the current welfare system undermines the basic values of work, responsibility and family, trapping generation after generation in dependency and hurting the very people it was designed to help...

[tomtucker]

you will be fine....you are not an illegal immigrant.
Had hillary won, the country would be flooded by migrants and refugees from syria, afghanistan and tons of other shithole countries.

And then there would be no taxpayer money left for the original american citizens........that is what has happened in europe, and that is what trump hopes to avoid.

exactly .. welfare zaps motivation and lulls you into dependency .. horrible .. not to mention how emasculating it must be for any man on that .. it should be something very very temporary until you get your ass back up and going .. except for those with permanent disabilities who really need it

Yep. Exactly.

[DCL]

so you're getting paid almost $14,000 a year for sitting on your butt all day and just trolling on the internet.

let's say you did find a job. it might pay $8/hour since that's the min wage in florida. if you worked basic full-time on that without OT, which is about 2,000 hours/year, you'd earn $16,000.

admit it, dude. the only reason why you're not working is because you have totally gamed the system and YOU DO NOT WANT to work.

you'd rather sit at home and do nothing and get $14,000 than to get up every morning, work for real, bust some ass to get $16,000, which might not even change your current lifestyle other than forcing you to go to work everyday.

but you have to start somewhere. if you never work, $14,000 is your ceiling. if you finally decide to enter the workforce, $16,000 is your floor. how far you get up above that level depends on only one factor: you.

:confusedshrug:

are you getting even more benefits that this??

[LikeABosh]

You're really using your ugly ass face as an excuse for why you can't get a job? Man the **** up and start applying. I see bastards uglier than you working every day. Sounds like a cop out you're using to try and excuse your failure, just like your "depression and anxiety".

I didn't count food stamps, so technically you're right.

Food stamps aint money

And you really dont think there are people in a society that can't work because of falling out of the system? Due to either drug abuse, anxiety, depression etc?

Just be glad you're not one of those and stop complaining about paying 2% more taxes or whatever. 2% is nothing to you, but the money stalker gets is the difference between surviving or living on the streets for him and his family. The US is also bound by the UN's human rights you know

Food stamps aint money

your argument is atrociously ignorant.

people who are working do not get food stamps. they still have to eat, so they have to buy food. i don't know what fantasy world you live in but food costs money.

a person making $8/hr, or $16,000/year, has to pay for his own food.

a person on food stamps doesn't have to pay for the food, but it still costs money.

it may not be in the form of cash, but it still costs money. and unlike some other benefits, it's used every month.

You're wrong.

A person with two children making 16,000 a year qualifies for food stamps.

[kurple]

But he's not given the opportunity to decide what he wants to spend that money on. It's amazing how long the human body can survive on water alone + some grass here and there.

I would not recommend anyone living like that, but at least you have a choice with money. Silly to act like 400$ worth of food stamps is the same as 400$

i have no problem paying more taxes if everyone was doing the same.

i'm not someone who cries about socialism neither like it's absolutely the worst idea on earth because some people really do need it and my tone would drastically be different if it was assistance for people who seriously needed help.

but the program wasn't designed for someone like stalker4life to never work again in his life. he's not a senior citizen -- he's actually in his prime in terms of working age. he can speak perfect english. he's not crippled. he's not in a wheelchair. he's not blind. i believe he's physically capable of doing many things, many jobs that require labor that he could be useful for. and that ugly-excuse is baloney.

he can do better for himself, and he should.

[kurple]

I used to think so as well. Used to hate stalker, but now I feel like he has more problems or more serious problems than I gave him credit for


we all just laugh at him, while he has to live with his struggles.

My man, you gotta improve your situation any way you can. Try a trade school or something, any class. The only important part about getting into the door is through connections.

I'm in a Muslim bball league and you cannot believe how everyone is looking out for each other, as long as they believe you are a good guy. Join a Christian league, and prove your worth. There are uneducated dudes in my league and they have been helped through the door. As long as you prove you are stable and gonna make an effort (and of course not make them look bad), they will help you.

Have faith brother, just work to improve your situation and if you cannot... just pray to God. I'll pray for you man :cheers:

I think a lot of people in this country just assume you can waltz into an office and say "i'm depressed" and get SSI for the rest of your life. Not so easy especially for a single young guy.

if you still get food stamps while making $16,000, shouldn't that give you even greater incentive for you to work??

In other words give any loser too lazy to work an excuse to live off the system. :rolleyes:

Unless you have a physical injury or a documented traumatic event happen to you recently, there's no excuse not to work.

No wonder the left wants illegal immigrants to fill the job ranks, their voter base is too lazy and stupid to work if they hand out entitlements like candy. That gives them not one but 2 voting blocks, the lazy and the illegals.

As someone who has worked since I was 16, held 2 jobs at many points in my life, and has never been between jobs for more than 2 months, I cannot sympathize sorry.

Never went to college huh? Shocking

As someone mentioned, you can't just say you are depressed and then get financial help without working. It's a long and tiresome process. And just because you don't have any disabilities or mental issues doesn't mean other don't, or that their problems isn't real and severe

I find it hard to believe you can't get a job at Walmart or some burger flipping place that requires ZERO qualification, looks or any kind of personality.


You should keep applying at those jobs, YOU WILL eventually get one there. I have a feeling it's what you are saying during interviews?


I mean, when they ask you why you want to work at their particular workplace, do you tell them you are only there for the money?

The difference between those who do and don't is simply motivation.


I have depression, anxiety, PSTD and a range of things, but it doesn't stop me working.

Yes I did. You ever hear of a part time job you dolt? My parents didn't have the resources to help me enough without having to work. I HATE retail work but I had to do that crap for a year and half before I found something better.

Anyone can say they are depressed, most can convince themselves they are depressed if they can benefit from it. Same with drug use. I don't think you can yet get benefits in the USA if you are a known drug user because you can buy drugs with TANF money as well as trade food for drugs. I know the left is trying to change this but it will be a few years before they are in a position to do so.

This welfare, safespace mentality being pushed by the left is crippling society.


Governments need to be pouring more money and resources into linking people into businesses and jobs. Even if that means reducing business taxes and giving employers major incentives to take on more employees.


Do whatever it takes to get people employed. A productive citizen has a ten fold effect, less mental health issues and better family structure means less strain on the welfare and health system.

Exactly. I have a cousin that quit his job. Then became depressed because he couldn't find the type of job he wanted. Now after over a year of not working, and living off his parents and girlfriend, he says he's too depressed to work at all, anywhere.

Talk about a self inflicted vicious cycle.

It is silly to act like $400 worth of food stamps doesn't save you $400 or near it depending on how you use it. Is it technically different? Yes. Does it save you enough to make it be worth pretty much the same thing as $400. Yes. It makes it so none of the rest of the money he has needs to go towards food.

how many jobs have you applied for?

the answer doesn't matter. because whatever it is, you have to double it.

if that's still not enough, triple the effort, quadruple it, whatever.

keep doing it like your whole life depended on it.

the biggest problem right now is that your life doesn't depend on it, and that's why you are still where you are. if the government took away everything tomorrow, i wouldn't be shocked if you found a job next week, even if it was just mowing lawns or moving furniture.

but you have to change your whole mentality for everything. don't let the excuse of "oh, they rejected me again, so i'm no good" prevent you from your goal. shake that quit mentality out of your system because you really have no room for it right now. damn, your favorite player is kobe. you know this makes sense to you.

and stop getting arrested, dude.

It's not that we don't understand why this happens to people, it's that people don't understand why it happens to them and why they turn to feeling sorry for themselves.

I don't think kicking them out on the street as a deterrent works. I think the government could do a lot better job of taking responsibility to employ nearly all it's citizens, even if that means funding and supporting businesses to employ people, regardless of their qualifications or lack thereof.

It may cost a lot in the short term, but the long term will actually save money. I think this is the downside of presidents/leaders serving fixed terms. They are motivated by short term results.

[Kblaze8855]

**** outta here. You and 100% of the people who might feel bad for you can suck a dick. There is no reason a mostly physically capable American cant get work.

I know a 50 year old mostly toothless ex meth addict with a criminal record a mile long....currently wearing a house arrest bracelet....works 40 hours a week at Lowes. I know a fat mother of 3 who broke her back in a car accident a few years ago who qualified for disability....and decided to go back to work since it would pay more. She wheels carts of screws around a factory that puts on a galvanizing coating and is never less than 100 degrees inside.

I know crackheads making 18 an hour working for a company that puts the lining on doors for BMW. Dude hangs racks of bare car doors 8 at a time...back to back to back to back....10 hour shifts. This is an actual crackhead...who has no car...and a criminal record...and believe it or not...is missing all or some of 3 fingers.

I have a 76 year old vietnam vet whos legs look like a trainwreck working under me right now. hes one of my best. Works circles around 18 year olds. I swear his legs retain so much water it looks like they might pop if you poked them. Hes kinda skinny...but his legs look like a fat guy. His calves are massive....his socks dig into them and leave them bruised because of his water retention. He comes in early nightly. Usually leaves late.

But hes a worker. Workers work. Im a worker too. I had to be. I learned to steal electricity by rigging a power meter and how to collect rain water for the toilet before I was 12. Ive been working since the 6th grade. Ive done everything under the sun to generate income. Ive cut yards, raked leaves, mixed concrete, sold candy, reclaimed building materials for a construction company that reused bricks, roofed houses, run pipe under buildings, sold weed, been a bouncer, washed cars for Toyota, loaded pine straw for Home Depot, worked at Kmart, cleaned up construction sites, dug holes for a fencing company, financed dope boys for a cut, sorted scrap metal at a junk yard, and flipped burgers.

And all of that was before I was 23. Once I got my shit together and got real jobs....all that was behind me. But I knew id always be able to handle myself. If I lost my job tomorrow id apply to 20 temp services and 30 companies by sundown and be back on in a week. Id have a worse job...but id have a job. And anywhere I work...im gonna stand out so much from the pack im getting promoted eventually. A tireless worker who can talk and impress people? I'll never go without.


If you were in south carolina I could give you a job making 11 an hour no questions asked even if you have a criminal record. But I suspect you wouldnt take it just like many people I know who complain about needing a job....because you...like them....like the concept of a job but not what it requires.

Talking about ****ing depression. Think I wasnt depressed when my grandfather passed two months after my great grandmother, my siblings/little cousins were gonna get nothing for christmas, our power and water were turned off and I was wearing hand me down clothes? Of course I was. We lost the two people whos retirement money paid the bills. My father had been gone for years. My mom was trying to feed like 8 of us on minimum wage and was too proud to get on food stamps. Let your friends come over and see 6 or 7 five gallon buckets stuck under downspouts to catch rain water so you can flush the toilet. Let them see you switching out the power meter on the side of the house at 5pm so you can turn on the heat at night in winter. You see...the power company guys didnt work after 5. We could steal power then. 3pm and cold? Too ****ing bad. Heat and lights come on at 5. Someone had to step up and be a man. So it was me. And I was in ****ing middle school!

Im out here raking leaves all over the neighborhood for money to buy a pack of sausage, some rice, and an onion so we could make dirty rice and feed 8-10 people. Im feeding a family on 4 bucks and THEN going out again to clean up the bar my grandfather worked at before he passed. Im in middle school cleaning up a bar at night for 10 bucks then walking home and going to bed...buying bags of candy on the way to school. Bag costs two bucks. Sell a blow pop for a quarter....turn your 2 bucks to 6. I come home and give my mom like 12-15 dollars.

In America...if you have hustle....you can only be kept down for so long. And if you dont have hustle....your problems are your own fault.

Either way....its on nobody to solve but you.

[Kblaze8855]

Oh and as an aside.....

I also drive for Uber now. Not often...but I made like 180 bucks in about 6 hours of time on the road this weekend.

Im driving Uber....in a ****ing Jaguar that needs premium gas. Not saying its wise....but just making a point. There is so much money out there for someone willing to go get it.

The streets are lined with gold in this country....but you need to break a sweat to mine it. And dudes are just looking at it longingly when the pick axe is right next to them....

Ive cut yards, raked leaves, mixed concrete, sold candy, reclaimed building materials for a construction company that reused bricks, roofed houses, run pipe under buildings, sold weed, been a bouncer, washed cars for Toyota, loaded pine straw for Home Depot, worked at Kmart, cleaned up construction sites, dug holes for a fencing company, financed dope boys for a cut, sorted scrap metal at a junk yard, and flipped burgers.

And all of that was before I was 23. Once I got my shit together and got real jobs....all that was behind me. But I knew id always be able to handle myself. If I lost my job tomorrow id apply to 20 temp services and 30 companies by sundown and be back on in a week. Id have a worse job...but id have a job. And anywhere I work...im gonna stand out so much from the pack im getting promoted eventually. A tireless worker who can talk and impress people? I'll never go without.


If you were in south carolina I could give you a job making 11 an hour no questions asked even if you have a criminal record. But I suspect you wouldnt take it just like many people I know who complain about needing a job....because you...like them....like the concept of a job but not what it requires.

Talking about ****ing depression. Think I wasnt depressed when my grandfather passed two months after my great grandmother, my siblings/little cousins were gonna get nothing for christmas, our power and water were turned off and I was wearing hand me down clothes? Of course I was. We lost the two people whos retirement money paid the bills. My father had been gone for years. My mom was trying to feed like 8 of us on minimum wage and was too proud to get on food stamps. Let your friends come over and see 6 or 7 five gallon buckets stuck under downspouts to catch rain water so you can flush the toilet. Let them see you switching out the power meter on the side of the house at 5pm so you can turn on the heat at night in winter. You see...the power company guys didnt work after 5. We could steal power then. 3pm and cold? Too ****ing bad. Heat and lights come on at 5. Someone had to step up and be a man. So it was me. And I was in ****ing middle school!

Im out here raking leaves all over the neighborhood for money to buy a pack of sausage, some rice, and an onion so we could make dirty rice and feed 8-10 people. Im feeding a family on 4 bucks and THEN going out again to clean up the bar my grandfather worked at before he passed. Im in middle school cleaning up a bar at night for 10 bucks then walking home and going to bed...buying bags of candy on the way to school. Bag costs two bucks. Sell a blow pop for a quarter....turn your 2 bucks to 6. I come home and give my mom like 12-15 dollars.

In America...if you have hustle....you can only be kept down for so long. And if you dont have hustle....your problems are your own fault.

Either way....its on nobody to solve but you.

Justin needs the Rocky speech for sure:

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Vg4uyYwEk)

You need to stop being a coward, Justin. Stop blaming your lot in life on your physical features or your anxiety or depression. YOU GAVE UP...it's as simple as that. You have no fight in you. I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for a coward and a quitter.

[Kblaze8855]

Great speech by Rocky but it doesnt fit....because he is a coward. Thats who he is...and he is not better than that.

**** outta here. You and 100% of the people who might feel bad for you can suck a dick. There is no reason a mostly physically capable American cant get work.

I know a 50 year old mostly toothless ex meth addict with a criminal record a mile long....currently wearing a house arrest bracelet....works 40 hours a week at Lowes. I know a fat mother of 3 who broke her back in a car accident a few years ago who qualified for disability....and decided to go back to work since it would pay more. She wheels carts of screws around a factory that puts on a galvanizing coating and is never less than 100 degrees inside.

I know crackheads making 18 an hour working for a company that puts the lining on doors for BMW. Dude hangs racks of bare car doors 8 at a time...back to back to back to back....10 hour shifts. This is an actual crackhead...who has no car...and a criminal record...and believe it or not...is missing all or some of 3 fingers.

I have a 76 year old vietnam vet whos legs look like a trainwreck working under me right now. hes one of my best. Works circles around 18 year olds. I swear his legs retain so much water it looks like they might pop if you poked them. Hes kinda skinny...but his legs look like a fat guy. His calves are massive....his socks dig into them and leave them bruised because of his water retention. He comes in early nightly. Usually leaves late.

But hes a worker. Workers work. Im a worker too. I had to be. I learned to steal electricity by rigging a power meter and how to collect rain water for the toilet before I was 12.

He wasn't even talking to me and my c0ck shriveled up a little. :oldlol: I can only imagine what stalker's face looks like reading this.

[Kblaze8855]

He doesnt care. Useless pieces of shit dont snap out of it because someone told them they are pieces of shit. People tell them all the time. It doesnt take because they have no pride to wound in the first place.

If he had pride he wouldnt settle for 700 bucks a month from the government to begin with. he has kids. He makes a conscious decision to allow them a worse life than otherwise due to his own laziness.

Think he gives a shit what I have to say about it?

If he wont step up for his own children hes not gonna do it because I call him a loser.

How in the hell are you not a Republican? :oldlol:

Scratch that, I can think of a few reasons why the party and especially Trump might not appeal to you. Let me rephrase it. How in the hell can you vote Democrat with that attitude? :wtf:

[Kblaze8855]

What makes you think people who work hard and would like to see others do the same must lean right on most issues?

I work hard and always have....because I have too much pride to be carried by anyone.

That doesnt mean I generally see eye to eye with someone who thinks evolution is the work of the devil.

There are dozens of issues. I fall on either side depending on what comes up. But generally speaking....hardcore republicans often just seem...questionable. At least the ones I deal with having lived in the bible belt for 20 years.

That said....many blacks...socially....are as conservative as republicans. But as I said...many reasons to vote how you vote.

Stalker - I know that when you are used to thinking and living a certain way, you can become stuck. I get that. Trying to convince yourself that you're stuck where you are right now - now and forever- THEN you're just ****ing yourself over as well as your kids.

It's hard to imagine him changing, though. He was like this before he had kids, so if having to raise and support two kids didn't change him? There probably isn't anything that will. Another person's life is another person's life, but he's clearly whining to the wrong people if he wants sympathy. lol

Catch him flush under his chin and send this societal albatross into orbit.

[egokiller]

Idiots think they know what's best for this country, but they couldn't be more blind. The single, successful, american who is a non minority that is 5 or so years out of college making some good bank is the one who we should feel bad for.

Now let's look at the following senario for example of such a person:

1. High income, so high tax bracket.
2. No kids, so they can't claim them to get lower taxes. (Being responsible and wrapping your **** is a negative thing these days.)
3. Renting a home because they are early in their career, and not sure where their job/career may take them. (Making smart decisions by not investing in a home when your not certain if you are going to be living there for awhile is a slight against you. Since you are not a home owner, you can't write off the interest.)
4. Don't qualify for any governement assistance programs because you are in a high tax bracket and EARNED a good job.
5. Don't qualify for any home programs because you are in a higher tax bracket and EARNED a good job.
6. Not married so you pay more taxes.
7. Non minority so singled out and told they are racist all the time, told that they got to where they are at because of "privelege" despite many others of their same skin color leeching off the system.

So basically the message America is sending to these young, single Americans is that there is no incentive to try hard and bust your ass to become successful, and that you must get married, buy a home, and have some kids quickly after college otherwise you are going to be paying out your ass in taxes. What a great message to send to young inspiring minds. These people are jealous of the fact that these well hung, single, high tax bracket paying males who work out every morning and eat healthy are getting more pu$$y than they can handle while driving around in expensive cars with baller jobs knowing that they are smarter and more educated than 95% of America.... so why not punish them by making them pay more taxes? If you destroy the incentive to work hard you destroy the American dream and that's exactly what they want to do. Jealous haters that want everyone to give 2% to lazy people with no ambishion. Pushing the concept that you should get married, buy a house, and have kids so that you don't get fvcked by the government in taxes.

These are the people you should feel sorry for.

These people finally have a guy in their corner (Trump) and you want to complain about it? They are the ones that America owes an appology to and finally we have a president that can give it to them and make those wrongs right again. It's time to start paying these guys back what they are owed. They shouldn't have to pay anything to support others unless those people are disabled vets who fought for their country.

No representation without taxation.

Don't pay taxes? Don't get to vote unless you are retired, or a disabled vet/other exceptions. Why should people who worked harder, and earn more have to pay more? Who the fvck thought it would be a good idea to take away the incentive to work hard and earn more money by forcing those who do so to lose more money to the government? Backward ass thinkers who are a disgrace to humanity, is who.

[9erempiree]

This thread is hilarious but sad at the same time.

I have been looking for work for the last 3 months because my money was starting to run out. I got hired on the Friday of the week Trump was elected. Coincidence? Maybe but probably not.

My boss is currently training me right now on every aspect of the business so he can retire and I take over his office while his partner does the daily operation of the business.

I am very fortunate and OP just has to try and apply for these positions.

Then again, I have experience and education but you have to be confident and use industry lingo.

Why exactly would we...or anyone...be afraid of you?

Is that your experience in life? People being afraid of your terrible wrath?

[Kblaze8855]

Hate to be the one to tell you but youre hardly the guy to be going all "But in real life...." on anyone. Really.....based on what you have been saying? Of all the people you have ever had real life conflict with...how many do you suspect are currently doing worse than you are?

Cant be many. You are at best a blip in the life of more successful people who stumble over you on the way to better things.

That said....there is an honesty about you that id respect if it didnt bring me into awareness of your bothersome existence.

What up life stalker, glad to see u around



I must say for a self proclaimed worthless loser who has no redeeming qualities apparently, you have always had pretty good command at expressing yourself.

You should create a blog and write about your ****ed up self and all the hang ups you have. It could be a hit. I could recommend a pretty good book on how to take steps in trying to make money too.

It would be worth the effort since all you do is crap on yourself in a humorous fashion online anyhow.

Just a thought

Thing is....it didnt even seem that bad. I knew we were poor....but almost everyone I knew was poor. I only dealt with well off people at school. Until I was about 10 I got to go to private school for free since my mom taught at one. So then...my friends had money. But at home? All my friends and family were poor so it didnt seem that bad. There was nothing to compare it to.

I still had the toys I wanted for the most part. I still had an Atari...then a nintendo. I dressed...ok I guess. Clothes were old but I didnt get made fun of. I didnt realize how poor we were till I grew up.

And I didnt even have it the wors in my group of friends. One of my best friends....after his grandmother passed his dad(crackhead) lost their house. He came to live with me when we were in the 9th grade. There was a dilapidated old house on my grandmas property that had been empty since like 1972. Little one bedroom that homeless people occasionally broke into in bad weather.

Anyway....my friend and I spent a summer clearing away the brush and cleaning it out. We ran extension cords from my grandfathers barn over to it....repaired a sagging floor...got my old black and white tv...and moved into it. He had the living room and I had the bedroom. No running water...we couldnt turn on the oven...but we could run a microwave.

We were living like savages till my mom kicked us out of it. She didnt believe we would even fix it up. We were poor...but we had girls over there. 2-3 other friends might crash for a night. We had fun.

In retrospect....we were living pretty ****ed up....but we didnt really grasp it at the time.

If I can get off the school bus and go see my girlfriend before her parents were home...walk home to a cheap but filling meal..watch tv(even if its black and white....waaaaaaay past when that was normal)...what else did I need? I didnt really know what I was missing not having money.

When I was 14 if we find out some neighborhood lady needs a tree cut up and will give us 10 bucks a piece to do it and stack the wood....we didnt think about how broke we must be for 10 dollars to make our day. We thought....ok...we can eat all week off 20 bucks(together). I remember taking 50 dollars to a thrift store and buying christmas presents for 3 younger cousins. Everything they got...for the 3 of them. 50 bucks at a dollar store. We didnt have money to get wrapping paper. We just stacked the shit under the tree on christmas morning before they got up.

But I dont really remember how broke that made us. I remember getting to wake them up to come see what they got and them going crazy.

So its not like we were in soul crushing poverty....we just didnt have any extra.

[stalkerforlife]

What up life stalker, glad to see u around



I must say for a self proclaimed worthless loser who has no redeeming qualities apparently, you have always had pretty good command at expressing yourself.

You should create a blog and write about your ****ed up self and all the hang ups you have. It could be a hit. I could recommend a pretty good book on how to take steps in trying to make money too.

It would be worth the effort since all you do is crap on yourself in a humorous fashion online anyhow.

Just a thought

I really want to do stand up comedy and just trash myself incessantly, but I'm still trying to make my psychiatrist understand that I need to be prescribed Xanax. She just gave me Buspirone, but this stuff is weak.

I only want the Xanax for the initial phases, though...i'll get more comfortable as I do more.

[stalkerforlife]

Thing is....it didnt even seem that bad. I knew we were poor....but almost everyone I knew was poor. I only dealt with well off people at school. Until I was about 10 I got to go to private school for free since my mom taught at one. So then...my friends had money. But at home? All my friends and family were poor so it didnt seem that bad. There was nothing to compare it to.

I grew up in a trailer with a chain smoking mother that didn't ventilate the house, no dad because he died in a car crash, and a next door neighbor that anally penetrated me from 7-9 when my mom was at the bar and I was left home alone.

You're a fraud. You ain't shit.

[Kblaze8855]

My initial thought on a response to that....while hilarious....is probably across the line.

[Im Still Ballin]

You just don't want it bad enough J

If you did, you'd have it all

You enjoy the comfort. The routine. The security. You don't want greatness.

And thus, it doesn't want you.

And it's not too late bro. The potential is literally endless in the internet age. You don't need college. That's antiquated thinking. As kblaze alluded to, there is gold out there, just waiting for someone to come scoop it up. Just like Walter White said.

Listen to this song everyday

https://youtu.be/i-ZUXQuFcnw

[Im Still Ballin]

I mean, I see A LOT of potential in you brother.

You know how I know? You're a professional internet troll

You understand how to structure and frame your writing to generate hits or "leads" as they call them in the marketing world

You know how to craft a headline (thread title) that is specific, yet mysterious/ambiguous that sparks the curiosity factor. This stuff isn't rocket science, and you're doing it in your spare time, for fun. Without even knowing it.

If you only channeled that in the right direction... It would make all the difference.

Here's a tip to learn for free.

Buy courses on Udemy. They're like $18 dollars for Black Friday right now.

But guess what? They all have 30 day money back GUARANTEES.

You can literally absorb education informational products people have spent hours on hours designing...

For FREE.

It really is that simple Justin. See how I called you by your name? Personal. Conversational. This is spoken english. This is the language of sales copy.

You're going to have to put the effort in, but I think you already know that (Notice how I'm being realistic but not insulting your intelligence.. Classic copywriter move..)

I'm not sure if you have what it takes. This is the path of the lion.

Not sure you have it in you.

there's a difference between being financially poor, and being emotionally / socially poor.




You can have no money growing up, but if you have great family, great people around you supporting you and giving you positive input throughout your whole development that will make you a far better adjusted person .. this goes way beyond money.. way beyond...

Please. There is a difference between effort and laziness. Willpower and weakness. I became what I am because I had no support. There are millions of people looking for nothing but an excuse for why their lives are shit. I grew up with plenty of them. One reason im so annoyed by these people is my older cousin who ive twice had to kick out....and once considered killing.

This dude is the classic....weak...excuse maker. Hes perfectly fine...better than average physically. Hes legit bi polar....and has a crazy temper. So he isnt mentally well. I grant him that. Hes also quit every job he ever had and spent 30 years mooching off my mother, grandmother, and then myself. He made it into his 40s never having to pay for the roof over his head or feed himself.

This dude shows up to my house(dropped off by a friend he was living with out of town) two years ago before thanksgiving. Im cool with that....stay with me while youre in town...ill get you to the family functions. But guess what? February rolls around...hes still in my house. All the excuses in the world. We have conversations very much like the one going on in here.

You know what this dude tells me? Im only well off...because I have "These crackers" giving me money. By which he means....my job! Hes acting like....a job is a handout. hes giving me the "But you dont have a criminal record...." and "You know I used to have blood clots...I cant be on my feet all day" shit.

I flipped out. We nearly come to blows in my living room and I put him out. He walks to my moms house....she puts him out. He ends up going to some womans house he used to be involved with.

Ive not seen him since. I did give my mom money to send him to get some steel toed boots for a job he was trying to get. He lives in North Carolina now and is doing much better than he ever did when he was being taken care of.

I'll tell you what I told him. his problem was having a family too loving to let him fail. If we had kicked him out in 1995 he would have had to grow up.

If I had the support he had....I might never have been shit myself.

Yea hes crazy...yea hes lazy....but there are crazy, lazy, tired, and injured people getting up every morning cursing the alarm clock and going to work.

There is too much money out here....to be living the way some people do. Especially the ones always talking about needing a job. Its fall....there is literally money laying on the ground in peoples yards. Grab a rake and go door to door.

Giving people a pass for emotional weakness just weakens them more. Its thinking like this that will stall human growth. We prop up the weak and lazy through government and the few who REALLY cant cope have a jaded society that doesnt want to help them because perfectly able people crying about depression while half of us are depressed leave us disgusted.

There are people who need our help.

Most getting it....dont.

And thats why those who do take 3-4 years to qualify and some never do.

These whining bitches who can contribute...but choose not to....are doing more harm to the true needy than the "selfish" rich people who dont want to help anyone anymore.

Most of these people....most...not all...just need to be out on their ass forced to make a decision. Take care of yourself or live under a bridge.

Most....will take care of themselves.

Maybe go gather up the people under a bridge later....they probably need help for real. I'll gladly pay my taxes to get them a nice thanksgiving meal and do some low level job training. There are few people who literally cant contribute.

I had a guy working for me once who just...wasnt cut out for what we tried to have him doing. We hired him because while he was a little off(he lived in a place for independent but handicapped adults)....all we needed him to do was move boxes. But his mind would wander...he was prone to outbursts. He had to go. But guess what?

I ran into him working at a toys r us one christmas eve running around with the kids showing them where this toy or that toy was. I think...he was like a shelf stocker. Whatever he was.....he was happy. And he looked like he belonged. And this is a legit..well...he was Forest Gump. Lets say that.. All he did was talk about pro wrestling and nascar. And he had a manilla folder of him with various wrestlers...and nascar people.

There is something...EVERYONE...can do. You just have to find it. But whats the motivation when you can get by off other peoples dime?

Weak humans have lost the "Work or die" motivation in America. And that motivation is how we as a species survived. We have our brains and stamina. Thats how we got out of the caves. And now....too many of the lazy use that brain...to get by without work. Which wasnt possible in the past. And it weakens us as a species. These lazy bitches are diluting the human gene pool and it is not sustainable. Well no...it is. It can be sustained nearly forever because its the top 5-10% of humanity that make the developments that let the weak and lazy survive longer and longer.

There has never been a greater burden on the hard working and resourceful.

The only reason I wouldnt vote to abandon such programs is the innocent children it would endanger. So **** it. I'll pay 20 racks in year in taxes to feed his kids even if I have to feed him too. I hate it....but I will. Because it isnt their fault and there is no clear fix.

I dont have to like it though.

And yes...for the record...I know food stamps really arent much of taxes by percentage.

What does this actually even mean?

What you've described as "Emotional poverty" sounds completely arbitrary, subjective and hard to measure in comparison to something objective and quantifiable like financials.

I think you're trying to mix two concepts which do not fit.

I'm interpreting this as a lack of personal responsibility and accountability.

A classic defeatist mindset. Looking for any sign of resistance to justify quitting, to put it in broad terms.

[ArbitraryWater]

Kblaze, thats bad :applause:

[ArbitraryWater]

But he's not given the opportunity to decide what he wants to spend that money on. It's amazing how long the human body can survive on water alone + some grass here and there.

I would not recommend anyone living like that, but at least you have a choice with money. Silly to act like 400$ worth of food stamps is the same as 400$

it is :biggums:

I don't know anything about xanax really but I do know for a fact that just taking medicine isn't going to cure your ailments... it just masks them.

It is going to take correct thinking... and that might take years to un**** all the shit that is ****ed up in your head because of your life experiences which contributed to you feeding certain negative thought processes.

The level of severity of incorrect thinking for you may be WAY WAY off course because of the bad shit you have experienced. And it may take you longer than most to right said course... but rest assured, it is your decision, your choice and within your power.

Start by stopping the repeated badmouthing / bad thoughts you have about yourself and your appearance. Just stop. Even if what you're saying is based in reality, you reminding yourself all of the time how inadequate you are is just going to continue to hold you down. You might not be attractive but you aren't as ugly as you make yourself out to be nor are you as dumb except when it comes to opinions on LeBron.

Stop beating yourself up. You're perpetuating your own shitty situation with incorrect thinking.

I became what I am because I had no support.


You had no financial support from the sounds of it.. but the people who raised you taught you generosity and value of hard work. Like you said, in your bubble you felt like everything was great and didnt even recognize your own poverty...

who do you think is going to be better well developed to interact and make their way up the ladder through society.. ?



Kblaze with his good moral upbringing , normal everyday social interactions and healthy routine

or

stalker sitting alone in a trailer doped on pills doctors gave him to zone him out from how miserable his reality was ie how crappy the people around him were





im not sayin he should stop trying though... especially with people depending on him.


his life almost sounds like the plot to 8 mile..
hopefully he will be the next marshall matthers.

There are a lot of ways to make an extra buck and job searching can really suck, but you just gotta commit yourself to it. There are so many random ways to make some extra money, whether its to supplement a current job, or tide you over until you find one. I have a career, but I deliver fliers door to door part time for extra cash. it's good exercise, I listen to music, and it's a great workout. Just gotta somehow develop the mindset that some people are smarter, luckier, etc than you, but no-one will outwork you.
