The way they yell, scream and demand reminds me of that one twitch streamer that basically sat in front of their pc and yelled at their chat because they didnt get a dono the last 10 minutes or some shit, truly awful person, both of them. (I googled and that streamer was named "InvaderVie" apparently if someone cares and wants to google that)
Also maybe they should buy those dire needed groceries they talk about all the time instead of a subscription for Photoshop, like wtf.
If they have time to write endless and page-long rants, they sure have the time to fill out online-surveys and earn with that cash on the side. There are many websites where you can fill out questionnaires and get with that visa and amazon gift cards, which you can use to buy food and stuff.
When I was still in uni I used to fill out surveys to make a little side cash and made with that around 100 to 300$ per month. It was a nice boost to my finances and I could even afford a nice thing for me once a while.
i thought similar when i saw those begging posts for money to pay for an art program. if you're 30-35 you really should know how to pirate at this point, and even if you don't it's so easy to learn. i don't personally have an issue with anyone pirating anything, but especially if you have such limited income please save that money for more important things like food...
on the survey topic too, a lot of games with microtransactions will give premium currency for doing surveys. i used to earn the majority of my premium gaia currency doing surveys when i was dead broke, barely paying my rent. it was a nice way to get some premium items in a game when i wasn't in a position to have fun money for stuff like that.
i think these are suggestions that they either won't listen to, or they're too unapproachable at this point for people to come to them with genuine suggestions
This. I can't work, so I do surveys on Prolific, and if I REALLY sit down and do them every day, I can make about 15-30$ a day. I also do a Patreon, and every six months, I put all the images in a bundle, and sell it at a slightly reduced bulk rate on itch.io. I also do commissions when I am able to.
It may not be a LOT of money, but it's something.
Also, I feel I need to bring up the following points:
- If they really can't work and have no income, they will qualify for EBT and Medicare. Even in Texas, where I believe they said they were from. And they can't use the excuse of not having transportation, because EVERYTHING is done online.
- If they're on Medicare or EBT, they qualify for a free phone.
I know this, because I am disabled, and I'm on EBT/Medicare, and have free phone service. (I'm not on SSDI, still fighting for it, bc the VA refuses to cooperate.)
Also....and I hate to even bring this up, but if they are native, they could turn to various services specifically for native folks. (Like for example, Native folks who don't qualify for TANF can still get their own form of temporary financial assistance.) Hell, there's at least three housing orgs in TX SPECIFICALLY for Lakota.
There are PLENTY of resources available, and various ways of earning even a LITTLE income.
They're just not trying.... or they're lying. (Maybe not about all of it, but there's definitely some shit being made up or exaggerated.)
Ugh, this whole thing reads so icky. The complaining that nobody is willing to cover the entire cost of the intensely expensive medicine, as if other people do not also have bills and their own lives to take care of. I will never defend the American healthcare system and its rancid a life-saving medicine can cost that much, but the just total me-me-me-me focus and ungratefulness for any support they are offered...so gross.
