Which socialist country did they live under?

Only if you are some bourgeoisie’s son.

The thing is that I am worried about not having many resources in rural areas and stuff. Also, public transportation tends to avoid rural areas.

By the way, I think I should also add that I have some savings in my account (a few thousand dollars), so maybe you could give me advice on how to move onto another phone plan while my phone is still being paid off by my parent?

Very cool!

I get it, I just need to be careful and vet who I could work for. Thanks for the advice, and it is fine to change how you originally portrayed something because people make mistakes. I am glad to hear that I can leave if I feel uncomfortable.

It turns out I do have some mail from my state’s government, so that could work.

I “was” in college, but I took time off and am not sure if I want to go back (it is unlikely).

Very adorable! I hope to see more of them on their adventures fighting fascists.

… it is slightly funny that you proceeded to criticize helpx due to potential toxicity and stuff, but I agree to what newbeans has said.

I am not really into improv though. I guess the community aspect is good, but again, I am not interested in that sort of thing.

Ooh very interesting, I should definitely apply for food stamps and such then (though not sure if I should do it now).

What do you mean by legally disabled? Does that include mental illnesses? I am glad that I do not have to prove that I am looking for work.

I can definitely see how the dynamics can be toxic, though “often”?

I am not sure what sort of career will “sustain” me (what career can sustain you in the American economy right now?), so maybe that can be saved for the future.

Does it technically count as my income if someone else is currently paying for stuff? And yeah, I ought to look into jobs like the ones you mentioned (craigslist feels somewhat shady, though).

Someone else recommended helpx, which combines housing with a job (not sure if I get paid for it though) alongside other benefits, which might be right for me!

Thank you for the helpx idea! This type of thing might be what I need! It might also be a launchpad for future work that requires more hours a week and stuff (i am not sure if jumping into an 8 to 9-hour job right away is a good idea, even if I could get such a job).

Again, I struggle with social anxiety, but I will have to communicate with others eventually, so I will try.

The library advice is definitely good (always got to have that knowledge fall into my brain), but I do not regularly get mail from any bank or government office because I do not deal with them directly (and it would scare me if I tried to).

How do I get a PO box?

Ok, so immediate priorities are to get a job and some form of shelter (apartments might be viable due to me having some savings at the moment), while a secondary goal is to deal with my social anxiety somehow. Also, sorry that my reply was not nearly as long as your comment: I simply have little else to add.

I really should get a tent (though, I expect Walmart to be doing business with Israel in some way, so I would prefer a better option… sorry if I come across as picky), so thank you for the recommendation!

Have you personally worked on a farm or know someone that did? I should probably consider that option because it sounds like one that would not require a resume. Also haha that makes sense: Workers have to look out for themselves, after all.

Oh, I thought about this because it is slightly out of place in the main post’s body, so I will post it here: Is moving to a city a good idea if I am thinking of moving out? It likely has many more resources than rural areas would, so I am considering taking a cab to a city I know.

Cheap tent idea: Sounds good (not sure where to buy one, though). Sleeping bag: Good idea Picking fruit: Maybe? Gotta think about it and research.

Thank you for the advice! Do I need a good resume to start picking fruits?

Oh damn, talking to people sounds scary but I will probably have to do so if I want to get a job.

Hmm, the issue is that I live in an area that is essentially between two more populated areas, so there are likely not that many jobs here (nor housing, though I have seen apartments being constructed in the past few years), so I would likely have to go homeless anyways.

I never thought about a gym membership as an idea, but that sounds pretty nice! Not sure if I would work out though.

Roommates? Sounds slightly scary, and what do you mean by places that trigger a bad gut feeling?

I am 20, so no need to worry about the state tracking me down and stuff (I also finished high school). However, due to my parent paying for my internet, they might cut it off if I move out, so I am not sure what to do in that case.

It sucks that the job market is so horrible that applying for thousands of jobs could result in nothing. Do not worry, I am not even capable of driving anyways, so I am not planning to get a vehicle. I am also not sure if I qualify for food stamps (though I might if I become homeless). Damn, this is terrible.

True, some context would be helpful.

Who is Florence? I have never heard of their name before (were they a detractor of Engels or something?).

Oh who is it from?

:< Those people that hurt you are terrible. I am glad that many more people have been nice than mean. Did you report that person who was teasing you with the idea of giving money again? I am sure the mods would do something about it (though I am not sure how they were let back in).
