I can barely stand, but I'm still working. I think I permanently fucked up my knee. This isn't the first time I've done something like this to this knee, but this is probably the worst it's been. And the first time I've done it since getting sober, so I don't even have anything to kill the pain.

Yeah, schizophrenic here, I don't like this use of the term.

This bus driver is rude as hell. I limped to the stop during a layover, and stood at the door for 5 minutes while she just stared at me refusing to open the door until the last second. Then we just stopped on another street, where she waited for another bus to drop some people off and then proceeded to not let the people from that bus on. Like why did we wait on that bus if we're not letting people on?

 

So much I'm trying to figure out, but I've been out of tech and emulation for a while.

So my girlfriend has an M1 Mac she's trying to play Earthbound on. I've been out of emulation for a while, and know nothing about M1s, so my solution was to download RetroArch. It works pretty well, but she's run into an issue where audio gets really fucky when she plugs her laptop into her TV with an HDMI adapter. I don't know what all she tried, I wasn't there, but I'm posting here in hopes somebody has a suggestion on what to do. Should we download a separate emulator? A specific core on RetroArch that works better for M1s?

Any tips are appreciated ❤️

Yeah generally I prefer disposables. I use the ones with a changeable head for less plastic waste, they also tend to be nicer than just plain disposables. My girlfriend put me onto Amazon Basics razors (I use the men's razors) and they're cheap and give me a great shave.

I need to get seen by a doctor today, and I have no way to get there.

Yeah I'm not shocked by the cruelty in practice here. I expect there to be even more expensive means testing put into place in the coming years,

[70/70] A Tire (hexbear.net)

So my housemate has a car, and he's willing to give me rides on the late night shifts where I usually take Ubers. Problem, one of his tires is out. He's driving on a donut in the winter, and we just got hit with a big snow storm, with another on the way. If I can help him with this tire, I won't have to pay for another $20 Uber in the middle of the night, and I'll be able to support a friend. After that, I just have to give him occasional gas money, but it's only 4 miles from my house to work. And to explain the high Uber cost for a 4 mile ride, my fast food job is in the middle of the queer clubbing zone of my city. So getting an Uber at 1 in the morning over there has me paying clubbing prices for just leaving work.

Also to add this because I didn't even think about it, I can barely walk right now I messed up my leg, so a bike is out of the question for now.

So much snow. The busses are still running for now because it hasn't iced over yet, but it's been snowing for 12 hours straight so today is my last day I can grab groceries. I didn't have time to go to food pantries this week because I've been working my shitty fast food job. I finally got my first paycheck and most of it went to paying for my schizophrenia meds

Hey! Finally got a job in fast food after sending out over 100 applications. It's been really rough. But I'm finally employed. I do have a problem though. The work is only part time. I've been unemployed for 3 months, so I'm really behind on rent. With the lack of hours I'm getting, I'm gonna have a really hard time paying off what I owe. Fortunately rent is only $125 a week (or $500 a month) so I'm not as far behind as I could be. If I could get some help paying off my back rent, I'd really appreciate it.

Edit: You can also cash app the sober living president directly if you'd like! PM me for that cash app, don't wanna post that because it'd be pretty directly doxxing myself to post

 

Reposting because I still need money

I finally got a job! It's fast food, definitely not glorious work but it's lots of hours and I was able to come out as trans so that's nice. It's also off the bus line, so the transit to work is covered. I can always get to work, it's getting back home that's tricky. I work until 2 in the morning, so the busses aren't running when I get off, and Ubers are priced higher than normal. Fortunately unlike my last job, I can technically walk home from this place. Not really safe to be walking 5 miles through the city at 2 in the morning, but I'm not totally fucked if nobody comes through.

It costs about $15-$20 per Uber depending on the day, it's not that it's far from my house but the location of the restaurant is in an area of the city with a lot of clubs, so I'm having to leave at the same time the bars are letting out. As I get to know my coworkers better and figure out who has a car, I'll start looking for coworkers to drive me home for gas money, but for now I'm stuck Ubering.

So great news, I finally got a job! After applying to literally hundreds of places, I got hired at a popular fast food place off the bus line! Luckily, this is off the bus line. I'm able to take the bus to get there, and it's not a hard walk from the bus line to the shop. The problem I'm having is getting is home, as I don't get off until 1-2am. It'll cost about $15-$20 to get home depending on the day. I'm typing this on my break right now, so I'm really hoping I don't get stranded here tonight.

Got a job interview for a place that doesn't do background checks, yippie! Just need $20 to get there.

Title. Yeah went to outpatient, saw my councilor and that was good. Had a good conversation with her. But due to my case manager being stopped from getting overtime, she can't take me home. I'll just be waiting here for a while, but I have to be out of the building by 5 so I'll be warm until then
