I'm in a bit of a jam and don't know what to do so I am burying my pride and asking for help and solutions

i can see you're pretty upset right now. sounds like fear, and rightly so, your situation is a scary one. now, there were a few people here that did seem genuine in helping so be careful with your responses. Do you have any skills? It sounds like you were going to Florida for work? I do understand about trying to get help from some of these places, you're the wrong color!! i've delt with that in the past myself. where's all that white privilege i'm suppose to possess? anyway, its kinda tuff picking up even a short term job with no ID. i am sorry for your situation. i've been there and it ain't fun. If i were you i'd put down a list of skills you do have. sometimes you can pick some day work. cash at the end of the day. its usually not glamerous but its money and doesn't require an ID.

That is very nice of you Trinity. In return, I will become a paying member again. Need a couple of weeks though.

Ty. And I get it, don't trust anybody. And it's hard to get a read on who I am via GLP. I don't have offline anger issues that have fucked up my personal relationships.. I have anger issues with aspects of humanity, but in terms of family I was delt a shit hand, and without family you're just some guy, a stranger to everyone you meet. I am the kindest, most forgiving, best sense of humor, mind my own business, opening doors for strangers, well mannered person there is. I vent my frustrations online... you know as I do when you learn the dark secrets of this world it effects you. Some drink. Some get depressed and go on meds. I channel it through exposing bs online and teaching kabbalah to strangers and telling aholes online to fuck off. I get in a lot of trouble online but offline i am a cool cat. I am from the old school net mentality of being on usenet and irc in the 90s where cussing and running wild was the culture.

It's called dark humor

I k
I know exactly what I'm talking about anyone reading your OP can tell your entitled and arrogant. get as mad you like but you ended where are you are for a reason. I felt bad for you and offered advice that worked for me and offered my help you're the one that asked for it.

give a fish, they return hungry, teach them to fish they tske care of themselves.

here's the truth.

stop playing the victim.
that's why you keep getting taken.
it's an easy mark.

find a service to offer.
offer it.

take nothing for nothing.
always offer a service.

something for something.
a barter.

the world is ripe with people needing things.
fulfill those needs, build, network.
even if you do more for less to begin with.

keep working. it builds self esteem.

you need a couple sandwiches a day, forget about comfort.
work.

it won't take long, you'll be out with the knowledge of how to self reliant, but you got to stop playing the victim first and accept.

no one cares about you, so you have too.

good luck

See, you do obviously have issues. I am defending you and you misunderstood what you read.

I asked you specifically what you need in another post.

We're trying to help you form a plan and assess the costs.

You're not being clear about what you want to do.

And some good advice. Stop stealing from walmart. They will let you steal several times before stopping you. Just ask people for a few dollars.

All he’s got to do is say he’s gay. His lover kicked him out of their Iowa apartment and now he’s stranded in Florida.

If you took what I said as condescending I apologize.

Right if I was full of shit all I would need to do is go to gofundme and say that and id get $350,000 in ten minutes.

Think of how much supply you could sell to children with 350-Large in seed money.

well at least you could set up a "buy me a coffee" account, because some of us enjoy reading these intriguing non-news posts.
you know? like a value-for-value tip jar

I don’t know where you are in Florida but there’s a good number of charities for gays. Plus when you apply for any government assistance saying you’re gay and stranded because your lover - who helped with your financial support - was abusive should fast track any benefits. Try it. You’re in desperate circumstances at this point.

Ways to get some money without an official job:
Donate plasma
Pick up and cash in recyclables
Panhandle
Day labor

Many stores and restaurants will let you do a little work for some cash and/or food. At my last job they paid a different homeless person every day to pick up cig butts from the parking lot for a couple of hours for cash and some groceries, my job before that also did that but for cash and a hot meal.

Need free clothes? Lots of organizations give them but if you would rather not deal with them hit some garage sales toward the end of the day- many will give away what they have left rather than have to pack it back inside.

Do you have good dance moves? Male strippers (for ladies or for men) can make excellent tips and the way strip club pay systems work you could probably get by without ID.

The best thing I can think of if you don't like any of those ideas is to find a homeless person that knows the ropes and learn from them. But whatever you do stay calm and keep your wits about you.

I wish you luck!

This is good advice for your particular situation.

You might qualify for additional help if you show them your track marks.

The smartest moron you'll ever meet, has all the answers and nothing to show for it...

Cut to the chase and ask for donations to your paypal or whatever you're using, geez. You know that no answer will be the right one for YOU...

Show a little humility. Have you ever tried it? Serious. Go to bed and come back with a humble heart. Someone will help one with a humble heart. These people will help in a heart beat. I've seen it. Good luck

Every person in the world knows this. Why not also list rape and murder, theft, prostitution

I am not donating plasma for pocket money.

Panhandling is illegal here.

Day labor may work with an out of state id.

I know some of you mean well with your go donate bone marrow bullshit. But all you're saying is I'm not helping you.

hes been outside for a few months and the constant ups and downs from substance use is kinda kickin' your ass, isn't it op?

you can get an id from the dmv for 5 dollars after you go to the s.s office and tell them you've lost all your stuff/explain why you have no documentation. they will get you a s.s. card and you can use the local salvation army or whichever closest homeless shelter as a mailbox.

after you get your ID and your S.S. card you can now go work for any of the slave-a-ready jobs, like hire-quest, labor-ready, etc, or just go straight to the nearest amazon location and start working.

worked for 9 months straight as a temp worker,more then full time, until those bastards did a background check and kicked me out... i was outside sleeping near the mental health clinic, travelled 6 hours via public bus and ferry, and after 9 months of never missing a day or getting written up or anything -- your background isn't perfect so GTFO.

fuck you amazon atlas, thanks for showing me what it was like to have a little bit of money in my pocket and the pride of knowing I could WORK and get out of my homelessness...

good luck with your labor-ready / temp jobs, and better hope you don't have a shitty criminal record like mine. fucking way unemployment splits the year is stupid, otherwise I would have got at least unemployment checks since they 'didn't need me anymore' and the months arent january-december, they are like april-stupidmonth...

know what is better then working in a 32 degree facility to produce food for whole foods/amazon go, 8-14h per day except sunday?

it beats the FUCK out of sleeping outside with nothing to do. FUCK YOU CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM for FUCKING MY ABILITY TO DO AN HONEST JOB THAT ANY HOMELESS SLAVE WAS HAPPY TO HAVE...

i didn't beg or ask for money or steal... just get stronger and kill all lawyers when you get the chance.

I am not donating plasma for pocket money.


the first 5 times you donate at grifols they give you 125 fuckin dollars,so if you think 125 dollars loaded the same day for sitting in a chair then your helpless.


if you want to earn more then "pocket money" then go blow guys in the park, I hear that will fill your pocket up fast

I was homeless-with-a-car for some time years ago. Push comes to crunch, eat at cafeterias and other all-you-can-eat venues, shower at RV parks, try to get a job with free eats, back away from confrontations with police, trust me it's not worth it. Go online and look up positions around the country as property caretaker - free place to live! Here's a couple --- [link to jooble.org (secure)] and [link to www.indeed.com (secure)]

Fuck it, I haven't got any even TEMP work since that amazon gig. Uber eats/ lyft run your background and your fucked.

My email address is [email protected] and any money you thought about donating to the next presidential election or offering to this whining asshole candy you can donate it to me and I'll make sure I do something fun with the money, take a picture with it, and write a stupid caption that purposefully pisses off "too good to fucking donate plasma" "Candy-Kaboom".

Then when it reaches critical mass I'll repay you 1000x the amount you donated to me. Then 5 years later we will form a group and find candy and make him whole by buying him an acre of land and his own home.

thanks criminal justice system for "HELPING SOCIETY" by FORCING me out of the ONLY JOB THAT HAD AS MANY HOURS TO WORK AS YOU WANT but they had to get rid of all temp workers because the 16.00 usd they were paying me, labor ready was getting probably 50.00.

100% wrong

^^ this guy is all over the place. None of this applies to me

Can we get a bumfight?

So far I'm more sympathetic to the challenger.
