Help Pidge Pay Rent

my last post got a few notes, but lost traction and didn’t get any help. so, as it stands, i am still roughly $250 short of rent for this month, and it is due on the 5th of July. my landlord is chill enough that i’ll probably have at most a week afterwards to get it all together.

being blind in one eye for a week set me back on work pretty badly, and on top of insufficient/unpredictable hours, i’m scrambling to get the money i need together.

i hate having to ask for help like this, and i thought i’d be past it once i got this second job, but until i can talk to my managers and get the time i need, this is my only option.

if you can’t donate, please signal boost! thank you!

hey so it’s the 5th and i’ve gotten maybe $24 bucks i’m gonna try and pick up some shifts this weekend but i really, really, really need to make rent by next week please

neither of my jobs had anything available this weekend, so i won’t be able to work until the week starts. anything helps!

so i’m FINALLY going back to work tomorrow, and hopefully the rest of the week (still have to confirm with my manager tonight) but in the meantime my electric bill is due on the 20th

so, as it stands, to get the rest of my rent together AND pay my electric bill, i still need around $120 total

thank you guys so much for donating and signal boosting!

please guys i’ve been all but harassing my manager to actually give me some hours but i’ve worked literally one day this week, i’m now $150 bucks behind on rent after paying bills, and if i’m any later on rent my landlord tack on a late fee that i really can’t afford. anything helps, please i’m desperate

once Thursday rolls around i should have enough but I’m terrified that’ll be too late for my landlord

Last year, I got invited to a super-deluxe private resort to deliver a keynote speech to what I assumed would be a hundred or so investment bankers.
After I arrived, I was ushered into what I thought was the green room. But instead of being wired with a microphone or taken to a stage, I just sat there at a plain round table as my audience was brought to me: five super-wealthy guys — yes, all men — from the upper echelon of the hedge fund world. After a bit of small talk, I realized they had no interest in the information I had prepared about the future of technology. 
They had come with questions of their own.They started out innocuously enough. Ethereum or bitcoin? Is quantum computing a real thing? Slowly but surely, however, they edged into their real topics of concern.Which region will be less impacted by the coming climate crisis: New Zealand or Alaska? Is Google really building Ray Kurzweil a home for his brain, and will his consciousness live through the transition, or will it die and be reborn as a whole new one? Finally, the CEO of a brokerage house explained that he had nearly completed building his own underground bunker system and asked, “How do I maintain authority over my security force after the event?”

rich people are fucking terrifying

The Event. That was their euphemism for the environmental collapse, social unrest, nuclear explosion, unstoppable virus, or Mr. Robot hack that takes everything down.
This single question occupied us for the rest of the hour. They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from the angry mobs. But how would they pay the guards once money was worthless? What would stop the guards from choosing their own leader? The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival. Or maybe building robots to serve as guards and workers — if that technology could be developed in time.

eat the rich before they eat the rest of us

this is a long shot but fuck it

my name is avery. i’m a 20yo disabled trans man in southern maryland. i have an emotional support dog named violet. my lease ended in june, and i’ve been staying with my boyfriend, but his family wants to be gone by july 24. rent here is ridiculously expensive, and i can’t afford an entire apartment. i thought i had found a room but it turned out to be a scam and i lost a significant amount of money.

so, if you have a room to rent for under $600/mo in/around columbia, college park, beltsville, silver spring, or laurel, could you please message me? and if you don’t, i’d still appreciate it if you signal boosted.

Right so I finally figured out how to parse DAI’s layout files that determine which characters spawns when. Kind of a headache because it’s one file referencing two other files simultaneously and you have to have them open in a hex editor to parse what’s happening because the xml preview doesn’t provide enough information that you can tell from that alone.

next up figuring out how they modify the environment over time…

So, two mods, unlikely to go up on the Nexus, for chronic mage-supporters who want to play through the Calpernia storyline every once in a while without dying a little on the inside.

The problem with the idea of 8 hours of work, 8 hours of sleep and 8 hours of recreation as a structure for a day is that it simply can’t work that way. If I’m expected to be at work at 9, then my work day must begin at 7. Allowing myself a rushed experience to wake up and get to work. And I live close to work. So either my recreation or my sleep needs to take a hit, but for some people it could be more. 8 hours a day, 5 days a week as a basis for full time work is honestly unreasonable at that point. Because it isn’t actually 40 hours a week, it’s 50 hours a week lost to a job, of which 10 is unpaid.
