Some Empathy, Compassion and Understanding Would Really Be Nice, I Could Really Truly Use Some HELP and SUPPORT Right NOW!

I am a #disabled man living in #poverty, my #disability is 60% physical and 40% mental, and as I get older, both of those are increasingly hard to deal with, each day I try to do what I can where I live, as part of my rent is to help out when and as I can, but that is getting harder and harder to do, I am spent, between losing what little strength and physical ability I have left and not getting decent sleep nor having a decent diet, things just keep getting harder, and that causes my #anxiety to get worse which causes my #bipolar to cycle, which causes more lack of sleep, and I am in constant pain, and on and on it goes, at 47 years old I sure wish people could see the value in helping me #fundraise $5million dollars so that I can buy my own property and build my forever home, and have everything I need to never have to worry again, and to alleviate the stress of my day to day situation, and so I can really just age at a pace that wont effect anyone or anything, because in my own home, if I cant or dont feel like it I dont have to do anything for days, weeks, or months at a time and no one can get mad at me. People seem to forget that I am disabled and they dont realize I am getting older, nor do they comprehend that I simply cant afford #food to eat 3 meals a day, often not even one meal a day, that I have no #healthcare, people in general expect me to just keep going like the energizer bunny, when the reality is I am an old broke down ford truck, that on occasion I can get fired up and get a few things done, but more often than not, I really dont have the gas to even stand up, being #disabled and living in #poverty Fucking Sucks! you cant afford to eat when your hungry, you cant afford to take care of your health, you cant afford anything a person needs in life, Poverty Fucking Sucks, but when Your Disabled, it Fucking Blows, and every little thing is compounded a 1000 times and no one really cares to help you. I have so many unseen issues, most don’t realize the true difficulty I endure each day, first I don’t sleep well, for many reasons, from a brain that is constantly in overdrive, to relentless nightmares, to being in constant pain, to not having a decent supportive bed to sleep on, so my days start of painful, tired and overwhelmed before I even get going, Often I go hungry because living in #poverty I simply can not afford #food to eat, I typically only get around 600-800 calories a day when a man my size and age should be getting around 3000 calories a day, as a result despite my appearance I suffer from malnutrition, I have a great deal of difficulty cleaning my tiny cave, from not being able to afford the basics to have cleaning supplies to being physically limited in my ability to do so, I cant hardly bend over, nor can I very easily get up and down off the floor, taking a shower can simply become a serious challenge, and often leaves my exhausted not to mention I cant often afford the basics for personal hygiene, simply washing a dish or standing at the stove at times can be brutal on my back, then there are chores I need to tend to as part of my rent, and those absolutely can be a painful and exhaustive event for me, and those around often don’t even realize and expect more as a result, and if I say I have had enough today, I am questioned, because they assume I did what I did with ease, but they have no idea of the pain and struggle I had to endure to deal with to accomplish the tasks at hand, reading has become trouble some, as world become very blurry and melt together, writing is becoming increasingly difficult, as finding the words is getting harder and harder, being creative used to help but I have been in so much pain, and under so much stress that I often cant even muster up the energy to attempt to be creative, not to mention my camera is failing, my laptop is struggling, and again no money to obtain what I actually need, I have no #healthcare because the laws people pass have really messed that up, and after years fighting to get it resolved I have given up, so I fight through each day to just to suffer the next, I reach out constantly for financial support yet receive nearly nothing compared to what I actually need, this #disable man exists in #poverty, constant pain and my #anxiety exacerbates my #ptsd, my #bipolar cycles, and several other issues, my blood pressure has been all over the place and frankly in a rather obscenely high range for to long, my core body temp has been far lower than the average, while I often feel as though I am on fire, things get darker with my sight each day, and yet to bright, I hear and see so much that is not actually there, so very much wrong and no support nor help to be found, it would really truly help if people could and would help me #fundriase the money I need each day to live, and the money I need to set up a life where I can take care of myself and lessen the effects of poverty and disability on an aging body and mind.

#Wero könnte eine europäische Alternative zu #PayPal werden: Geldtransfer per #App in Sekundenschnelle.

Und zwar nicht über ein einzelnes Unternehmen, sondern eine Kooperation zwischen einzelnen europäischen Banken.

Allerdings: Was ohne App ist? Keine Ahnung, nix dazu gefunden.

Ist es nötig? Nunja, Paypal ist ein US-amerikanischer Konzern, aber noch bedenklicher: #Visa ebenso. Und gerade laufen ja Maestro-Bankkarten aus und werden durch Visa Debitcards ersetzt. Unsere komplette Kartenzahlung beim täglichen EInkaufen ist damit letztendlich in amerikanischer Hand.

ZDFheute · Wero: So funktioniert die Alternative zu Paypal und Co.By Sarah Hufnagel

My EU based alternative to #Patreon and #PayPal for donations is #Liberapay @Liberapay. They are in France, so under GDPR, Open Source, non-profit, they don't sell your data, don't take a cut but rely on donations instead and can do direct debit via SEPA/IBAN, so IMHO a Very Much Good Enough solution :) My yearly donations to #Forgejo and #Makertube are there now. (yes, they also support Stripe and Paypal for payments, but I prefer SEPA/IBAN to keep everything here ;)

@katrinakatrinka @digyoursoul @molly0xfff OFC, it has all the drawbacks of "self-custody cash, but digital"...

I just see #Monero as a better alternstive to an #AMEX, #VISA, #MasterCard or #PayPal!

And unlike Other #Cryptocurrencies it's free of #SmartContracts and #NFTs so not on the perpetual tire fire that is @web3isgreat ...

  • Not gonna claim it's better than #Euro banknotes, but unless you have a bank account in #SEPA where you can use #wero, it's the fastest way to do #CashlessPayments remotely/online...

@katrinakatrinka @digyoursoul OFC, take your time...

I just think Monero is the least worst #Crsptocurrency because it's not some #Shitcoin with artifical scarcity, long transaction times, high fees and #NFT garbage!

Given how much #PaymentProcessors like #PayPal can change and outside #SEPA there isn't a good & fast #WireTransfer system, it's growing in adoption.

  • Espechally since it's the closest to digital #cash!
en.wikipedia.orgMonero - Wikipedia

Except THIS is not how any of this works!....

#Trump literally lashing out against friends and neighbours will only backfire hard, and I expect @EUCommission and @europarl_en to enact #PrizeFreezes for #US #products & #services whilst forcing #Retaliatory #Tariffs on all US #products and espechally #services, demanding 100%+ in all #fees, and #revenue of #GAFAMs' services and products to the point that they'll effectively cancel half their revenue that flows back.

  • Plus forcing all products and services to be processed and sold via a #EU-based #corporation and adding a 30% "#AlienTax" as the #USA already does for i.e. #App #developers that ain't from the US even if they never sold a single license to a US customer.

Not to mention cancelling any #DataProtection agreements that only stalled the foreseeable court decision that #CloudAct is incompatible with #GDPR, thus banning #Office365 / #Microsoft365, #iCloud et. al. from the EU!

Given #Trump can't be assed to even fake any #loyality or #allied status even for the cameras, this is a #ForeseeableConsequence.

Unless we want to end up #downgraded into the state of a US-occupied overseas possession without statehood, like #Guam, #PuertoRico or #AVI...

0/600

Hej, remember when I totaled my car?

Good news! I managed to find another in a relatively short amount of time.

Bad news! It's taking awhile for the insurance payout to clear on the previous car loan, and until that does I'm still on the hook. Assuming that's gonna take a few months, I'm looking at $600 to cover that.

I can't estimate how big the #unplugTrump movement is. However, I'd bet it's too insignificant to even be noticed by #ebay #paypal #meta #amazon #microsoft or any other American company.

That's the fundamental dilemma: The masses behave like brainless zombies, following the most seductive scent. We, the minority, can rant and rebel as loudly as we like, but we'll only attract their aggression. Maybe we should give up and just enjoy our lives, which are far too short anyway. We'll never be able to change the system and should leave this to greater forces than we could ever muster. Mother #Nature will soon make change inevitable. The minority cannot (any longer) avoid from being dragged dwon with them.
