Woman posting about how rough it is to get by, having to basically steal even basic necessities like tampons to get by. Working a full time job at $16/hr, and can barely afford rent or stay above water. Then, the top comment on the thread posts about how she should make an Amazon wishlist so redditors can help her out. It becomes the top comment, and then 37 people post that theyd also help contribute to OPs wishlist. Shit like this makes me tear up so hard. Proves that there are plenty of good people out there. https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/uruyf3/im_having_to_steal_to_have_basic_necessities_i/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf --- !!!!!!!!! http://i.imgur.com/DzJSPWA.jpg ...

JimmyFraska posted... is that what it proves Yes, giving your own money to struggle is a sign youre a good person. Hell, even if that OP is making up that whole story, the fact that 37 people would donate based off of good faith alone is amazing to me. theyre choosing to see the good in this world.

Zero_Slash posted... Try not spending your money on frivolous things that you don't need and maybe you won't have so much money trouble. A) Living a life without luxury isn't really living at all, and B) Even if it were, I'm all about budgeting financially and living as minimally as possible if needed; but I still struggle sometimes. It's not as easy as you think, and you purposefully dodging valid rebuttals while only providing overly simplified financial models (that aren't numerically backed btw) as your own "evidence" won't change that. --- Not a funny joke Dimentio.

I love how this topic was just about some people being generous and CE had to throw a ton of labels and generalizations to large portions of the population. @averagejoel might be an asshole, but he's also right the problem here is that people who work a full time job cannot make ends meet and have to rely on the generosity of strangers to get by the generosity narrative becomes a distraction from the undervaluing of labor which is extra strange when unemployment is so low and employers are struggling to find workers --- LittleBigPlanet is like merging dress-up with a real game. ...

MagicOracle posted... A) Living a life without luxury isn't really living at all, andA) Irrelevant and subjective. Luxury isn't necessary for survival. B) $16 an hour is $2560 a month. If you can't pay for rent, utilities, food and necessities (read: not alcohol, not drugs, not fast food, not new phones, not new TVs, not new video game consoles, not frivolous expenses) then you are the one with the problem, not your paycheck. Even if we figure rent at $1500 (it's not even close to this much anywhere outside of cities) and utilities at $300, that still leaves you with $760 for everything else, which is more than enough to live on with extra. --- Current Title: Title Master Titles Given: 12 ...
