    what type of gym memberships yall got in the US that you stay at a homeless shelter but also can afford those? I always wondered about that

    Lots of gyms run promo deals where you can sign up for like, $10 for the first month. Or if you don’t have a debit card you can usually buy a day pass for relatively cheap

    This cultural aspect in the US of parents kicking their kids out immediately after they turn 18 or charging rent is so fascinating to me

    he could get internet access at his local library too they lowkey have a lot of resources i always told myself first thing i would do if my parents ever kicked me out would be going there. if you have the change to spare giving him some money for a cheap hotel until he gets a job and on his feet would be nice. a lot of fast food restaurants hire and pay same day and started paying better since the pandemic

    yeah my parents are immigrants and i’m living with my parents until i’m married probably and all the immigrant families we moved here with did the same thing and we had three or four generations living in the same house. families gotta stick together as long as possible and work together

  • Jun 30, 2024

    Well if he is kickd out that means he is homeless whch means best bet is homeless shelter whch means alot in differnt states

    Like Crodie said above he finna have to get a fast food job, there’s a labor shortage of them.

    Temp working agencies also can pay you the same day you work each day.

    When I was on the verge of being homeless from getting fired at construction the next day I went to a temp work agency , bro at the desk submitted my paperwork work and the very next day I was able to work and got pay every day worked on the spot.

    Was some of the worst jobs I ever worked in my life, but it kept me from being a complete crash out.

    You're a great friend

    fun guy

    You're a great friend

    I cherry pick my friends and I know for a fact you don’t choose your family, but I make a couple exceptions, when you’re my friend it means you’re my brother and I won’t just sit while you’re sleeping in the cold

    Ps: If you’re friends with someone who’s in a precarious situation/homeless and you haven’t done anything for them, you’re scum in my eyes

    Alright brothers keep it formal
    My friend got kicked out by his parents at 18 years old, he’s got nowhere to go or to sleep, no money no nothing, just the little bit of data left in his cellphone but he’ll probably hook to Starbucks wifi
    I can’t take him with me as we live 4 states apart and I don’t have a car, what advice can y’all give him right now? Is he doomed to be homeless? I don’t wanna see a brother going down the pothole of homelessness

    What country? No even single relative closer to him? Hes part of a community (ex. Online etc)? His parents are problematic or hes the issue?

    Sticky situation but my question is why won’t his parents help him? Is there something he did or certain behavior they don’t agree with? I’m more curious as to his parents reasoning for essentially causing him to become homeless.

    My advice to him is to enroll in a community college asap and rely on financial aid. There’s a lot of assistance/support for students, especially those who have zero income. Financial aid will will pay for housing and he can work towards degrees.

    Tell him to enlist, preferably in the Air Force and get into a IT, cybersecurity, or intelligence role. He'll be set for life if he does that.

    His parents are on the narcissistic spectrum, his younger siblings have always been favored more than him, he’s caught depression and they wouldn’t pay him a therapist, school counselor didn’t give af either, he’s always had it rough he thought if he studied enough he’d get into college and leave the house but the plan has turnt upside down which is the s***tiest part
    Now we gotta switch it up and put him in the good road

    They just simply think he was a mistake, he’s reminded of and during calls I could hear his parents insulting him and sometimes trying to start a brawl with him in order to kick him out with police force. But today he came from an appointment with the dentist and he found all his stuff thrown outside the house with a note that said “pick it up and leave”, for some reason they decided to keep his MacBook and the rest of his commodities

    I don’t know how it works honestly, that s***ty 4G that’s keeping his phone alive I guess, will try to help him with that too
