she can't get a job because public transit is too scary for her to want to go in person to prove her US citizenship

and she wants someone to co-sign a loan with her.

these are not the qualities of a responsible person I would trust my credit to.

i'm knee-jerk sympathetic to anxieties like this (i would be nervous about public transit in a strange city too! what if i get lost and can't find my way home!), and i get that people use their plurks to vent. but dear god am i tired of seeing adults whine about basic adult shit that needs to be done. if you're that terrified and desperate for money then just fucking nut up and figure out the bus system so you can get the job you applied for. the time you wasted writing that plurk could've been used looking up bus routes and shit and getting something productive done instead of whining and waiting for other people to suggest things to you.

it's not just this person, either. it seems like there's just a glut of people on social media whose first instinct is to give up at the first sign of difficulty instead of trying to find a solution, and i genuinely wonder what made them like this.

This is very much something that appears a lot online, adults fully approaching middle age who will state very basic problems and do nothing to resolve them except wait for someone else to fix it for them.

An unkind part of my psyche thinks that the best way to react is go full Ferber method whenever it happens.

the stopbegging person was cringe but the less than 24 hour turnaround from "I'm going away for a while because that person was mean" to "never mind I still need money, anyone wanna co-sign a loan" is hilarious.

I seriously hope no one co-signs that loan though, ebegging from plurk friends is one thing, putting them on the hook for a 5k loan that you almost definitely will never pay back (because that's why your credit is so ass that you can't get a loan alone in the first place) is just scummy.

i really want to believe that the co-signing comment was a joke, like "haha anyone have a spare house they wanna give me" or the like

but at the same time it has real "...lest?" vibes

not asking for a link in case this is locked, but any chance you are comfortable disclosing the plurk name of the begger?

i'd like to treat myself to a rare kindness and block in advance.

absolutely no one cares about this pathetic woman enough to 'grudgewank' on her, but even if someone did they'd just have to give up out the gate because there's nothing anyone here can do to her that's worse than what she's doing to herself

bored anons: shitpost on her plurk, dig up her old wank, make fun of her for wasting money boozing while being -$6500+ in debt
cat herself: commits to moving across the country in the absolute most expensive way possible, torches her relationship with her landlords, torches her relationship with her father, lets everything she owned get seized by the movers she herself hired without having the money to pay for because she expected strangers on the internet to foot the bill

it's not even a contest. grudgewankers go home, this lady's pouring gas on the raging tire fire of her life better than any of you ever will

Must be nice to eat out at a pub and drink alcohol you waste while begging people to sign a loan and talking about having no money.

the job she was banking on getting in order to live there

i can't imagine making so many terrible decisions all in a row to lead up to this

it depends a lot on what part, like more than your average state. there are some really vitriolic extremist right wingers but there are also liberal areas. a friend of mine who is trans and bi really liked yellow springs (college town).

yeah i have a gay friend who lives near cleveland and thinks it's just fine there because i guess that's a really liberal area?

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

okay but the person in question is a straight white woman so what ~danger~ exactly was she in? assuming she was even in one of those vitriolic extremist right winger areas, which she wasn't

so clearly none of you know what it's like to be living paycheck to paycheck in america. yes, trying to get money from your RP friends on plurk sucks but the rest of this is just shitting on someone for being poor.

the reality is if she wanted to move there would NEVER be a better time than now. even if she saved as much as she could it'd likely be a few hundred bucks a year put away, not enough to make a reasonable dent in the cost especially with inflation. if you're miserable where you are and you're poor the choice is to stay there or move and accept that it's going to get you deeper in debt that you might never pay off. that is AMERICAN REALITY.

second, having bad credit is not an indicator of responsibility. credit is made to benefit banks and corporations. there are some big bootlicker attitudes going on here. if you are poor and have a large emergency expense you have to take out a loan to pay it, even if you know you can't pay it back, because failing to do so could mean losing your house or your job or your LIFE. the only thing bad credit says about a person is that they've been poor and in a bad situation. period.

third, doing things like drinking beer at a pub is not what makes people poor. cutting back on things like occasional eating out and alcohol would save a miniscule amount of money in the grand scheme of thing. do you ever look up "why doesn't poor people sell their playstation"? go look it up. 90% of your expenses are things like rent, cutting that last 10% down to 7% by living on gruel and having no fun will not make a meaningful impact on your savings account. but the privileged techies of wankgate probably think poor people need to sell their fridge to get by or they're not really poor so this will fall on deaf ears.

anon, you are generally correct? but in this specific instance, that beer could literally tip the scales on whether or not all of their belongings, including their laptop they accidentally packed, end up auctioned off by the moving company. because that's what happens when you don't pay the movers.

[(Anonymous)]

that's not at all what's happening in this thread.

this person isn't getting put down for the "crime" of being poor. or having to live paycheck to paycheck. but for consistently making poor decisions that continue to worsen her own situation.

pretty likely that this is gonna end with her losing her stuff. because she didn't pay the people she needs to pay.

Ohio sucks but it isn't so bad that I'd uproot my family with zero money and zero planning and move them to the other side of the country and be completely unable to provide for them in any way whatsoever just to get out of Ohio.

Is that komix idiot that lives with her incapable of working? Surly two adults could have both worked and saved enough money for at least a somewhat less chaotic move on like a year or two instead of pulling a dumbass stunt like this.
