#i need that money for my fucking insurance payment

[thedisablednaturalist]

Trying to get almost $150 back from a tts app because they count the free trial as you starting your subscription and will charge you a year from the start of the trail period, not from the start of when you last paid them (I had gotten 50% off last year as well) I have a week to get the refund bc they have a 7 day rule apparently. I've sent two emails and no reply yet.

Job hunting is an absolute nightmare because it's like I have a million reasons to need this job and the money from it and it's basically like telling the job that I'm pretty much their bitch because I need the money, and they'll just reject you because you didn't downright worship a company or bc you were honest on the application personality quiz

[marxism-transgenderism]

God it would be so nice to get like an extra $50-100 rn

[cerbreus]

it’s been a hellish last couple months dealing with being caught in the crossfire between incompetent rental car agency that is mad at me and incompetent car insurance company that didn’t tell me the person handling my claim fucking QUIT and MY CLAIM WENT FORGOTTEN FOR MONTHS and it still isn’t resolved in fact things have gotten worse and tbh, when i have major stressful setbacks in life, my body and brains’ response is to just. not. do anything. just shut down. intense fatigue, inability to focus on literally anything because the background level of stress is so high.

only 9h to download only the training data for the Yolov5 instance i'm supposed to train.

This doesn't include the test data.

I have 500GB of free diskspace and the zip file is already 10GB. fucking hell. To top it all off I don't even know if this training data is fit for what I need.

I'm totally in support of the writers in theory but I'm trying to understand more of what you're fighting for because I've seen some people on twitter claim writers make more money a week than most of us make in a month so I'm trying to understand what the issue is. Also if that info is accurate. This is a genuine question. Not trying to have a "gotcha moment". I really want to hear from a writer.

people have always had wild misconceptions about how much a writer earns because of their lack of understanding of how the industry actually works. there's so many posts about how "you guys make 5k a week. what more do you want?!" yeah...let's do some math on that.

5k a week for 14 weeks (and that's a long room. a lot of rooms these days are 8-10 weeks. those are the dreaded mini-rooms we're trying to kill) is $70,000. for roughly three months of work. you'd think we're cooking with gas...BUT HOLD UP. that's gross! let's see everything that has to come out of that check:

10% to our agent

10% to our manager

5% to our entertainment attorney

5% to our business manager (not everyone has one but a lot of us do. i do, so that's literally 30% immediately off the top of every check)

most of these breakdowns ive seen downplay taxes severely. someone made one that says writers pay 5% in taxes and i would like to ask them "in what universe?". that doesn't even cover state taxes. the way taxes work in the industry is really complicated, but the short of it is most of us have companies for tax reasons so we aren't taxed like people on w2s/1099. if we did we'd be even more fucked. basically every production hires a writer's company instead of the writer as an individual. so they engage our companies for our services and then at the end of the year we (the company) pay taxes as corporations or llcs (depending on what the writer chose to go with). my company is registered as a "corporation" so let's go with those rates. california's corporate rate is 9% and the federal corporate tax rate is 21%. there's other expenses with running a business like fees and other shit so my business managers/accountants/bookkeepers have recommended i save between 35-40% of everything i make for when tax season comes.

you see where the math is at already??? 25-30% in commissions and then 35-40% in taxes. on the lower end you're at THE VERY LEAST looking at 60% of that check gone. 70% worst case scenario. suddenly those $70,000 people claim we make are actually down to $28,000 as the take home pay. and that's if you're only losing 60%. it goes down to $21,000 if it's 70%.

lets pretend you worked a long 14 week room (that's the longest room ive ever worked btw) and let's also be generous and say you only have 60% in expenses so the take home is $28,000. average rent in los angeles is around $2,800-$3,000. if you're paying $2,800 in rent that means you need AT LEAST $4,000 a month to have a semi decent life since you need to also cover groceries, gas, medical expenses, toiletries, phone, internet, utilities, rental and car insurances, car payments, student loan payments, etc etc etc. and again, this is los angeles. everything is more expensive so you're living BARE BONES on 4k. and these are numbers as a single person. im not even taking having children into account. so those $28,000 you take home might cover your life for 6-7 months. 3 of which you're in the room working. the reality is that once that room ends, you might not work in a room again for 6-9-12 months (i have friends whose last jobs were over 18 months ago) and you now only have about 3 months left of savings to hold you over. we have to make that money stretch while we do all the endless free development we do for studios and until we get our next paying job. so...3 months left of enough money to cover your expenses -> possible 9 months of not having a job. this is how writers end up on food stamps or applying to work at target.

this is why we're fighting for better rates and better residuals. residuals were a thing writers used to rely on to get them through the unemployment periods. residual checks have gone down from 20k to $0.03 cents. im not joking.

they've decimated our regular pay and then destroyed residuals. we have nothing left. so don't believe it when they tell you writers are being greedy. writers are simply fighting to be able to make a middle class living. we're not asking them to become poor for our sake. we're asking for raises that amount to 2% of their profit. TWO PERCENT. this is a fight for writing even being a career in five years instead of something you do on the side while you work retail to pay your bills. if you think shows are bad now imagine when your writer has to do it as a hobby because they need a real job to pay their bills and support a family. (which none of us can currently afford to have btw)

support writers. stop being bootlickers for billion dollar corporations. stop caring about fictional people more than you care about the real people that write them. if we don't win this fight it truly is game over. the industry as you know it is gone.

Good afternoon my shrimping friends

I have fallen on really really really difficult times. I lost my job on august 16th, and despite being on my way out due to an extremely toxic and emotionally abusive work environment, I was hoping to get something lined up first. I legally can’t talk go into details right now, but I can say that a coworker who had it out for me for some unknown fucking reason threw me under the bus and effectively ruined my life, as well as putting my family in debt in over $30k in attorney fees. We’ve had to take out credit cards and I am beyond thankful my dad has good credit or we’d be royally screwed. I have been nothing but nice to her in the year and a half I’ve worked there, bringing her food and random little gifts that made me think of her. I can’t wrap my mind around how someone could be so conniving and fucked up to stab me in the back the way she did, I did NOT deserve any of this. She knew I am in a bad place mentally and financially, yet still chose to do what she did. I will hopefully be able to elaborate more in the near future. I have a court date coming up on the 6th, so we will see.

I have my car insurance due at the end of the month, but my phone bill is due now and it’s already on a payment schedule pushed out as far as i could make it. I’ve been doing survey apps to make a couple of dollars, it’s better than absolutely nothing. This has been the absolute worst year, it’s progressively gotten worse with each month. I’m so deeply depressed and I have never felt more worthless and alone in my life. But I’m trying so hard to remain hopeful. I have two job interviews this Wednesday, please wish me the utmost luck. If anyone has any suggestions to make a few dollars in the meantime please let me know.

Im writing this because im pathetically requesting if anyone is able to throw some change my way, I would be so forever grateful. I am no way expecting anywhere close to my surmounting legal fees but any little bit that I can put towards food, general necessities, my medication for the month, pet food, gas, etc. I plan to find another job before the end of the month but I’m absolutely desperate now.

I have a ko-fi, shrimpinainteasy

If you are unable to donate anything, I completely understand, and I appreciate you taking the time to read this. If you guys could share this, I’d deeply appreciate that just as much.

I’d be happy to provide any proof of whatever, I don’t even know, im sorry, my brain is mush. I’m so overwhelmed beyond words.

Again I’m really REALLY sorry to ask. Im so unbelievably desperate and so far in this hole of depression and financial debt, I don’t even know where to begin besides trying to keep my phone from turning off and staying on the road legally so I can find another job. I really wanted to refrain from begging for money online, but I need help so bad.

[valtharr]

God fucking damn it

I thought I'd just have to get to the end of the month, but no...

Okay, here's the deal:

Basically, about three years ago, I left this job, and then it turned out that, apparently, that job hadn't properly paid my health insurance for several months or something. I really don't fully understand what happened there, all I know is that like two months after leaving that job (and starting a new one), I got a letter saying I owe the insurance money for several months.

We were able to figure out a payment plan for 50€ a month, and that worked for a while, but recently, I've become unemployed, and now I got a letter that I apparently owe them almost 300€ (291,19€, to be exact).

I really don't know how that happened, why they didn't message me sooner, but I don't have the dough for that right now! I don't need the full 291€, but anything you can send me would help. Please. I don't know when I'll have a job again, I've been looking for over half a year now and got either no response or rejections.

Breaking down

————————————————————————

————————————————————————

POV: Your car breaks down and Natasha fixes it for you

Warnings: smut, oral, fingering, pet names, mommy kink, top!Natasha (sorry l didn't do this on my last fic)

————————————————————————

"Aww shit. Shit shit shit!"

Your car had broken down in the middle of knowhere. You could see nothing for miles any way you looked. You had no insurance and no car knowledge whatsoever. You popped the bonnet of your car and a giant plume of smoke hit your face and made you cough and splutter. You thought there was no hope but you suddenly hear an engine in the distance. A truck was approaching fast. You run into the middle of the road waving yours arms around frantically, jumping up and down. The truck pulls over and rolls down its dirty window to reveal a stunning redhead woman.

She leans out the window and softly says "well well well, what we got here sweetheart?"

You blush at the fact that a woman just called you "sweetheart". That had never happened to you before.

"Well? You gonna talk to me?"

You blush even more as you realise you had just been staring at her beautiful face.

"I-I-er-erm-sorry-I-um... my, my car broke down and -urm- I.."

"Do you want me to call a garage for ya darlin?" She replied.

"Urm- yes please, that would be wonderful." You smiled.

"Well I'm not gonna"

"Wait what?"

She started to get out of her truck, "I'm gonna fix it myself silly. Can't you see the sign on my truck?"

You take a peek and sure enough the woman worked at a garage. You felt stupid.

She started to rummage in the back of her truck for her tools. "The names natasha by the way".

Natasha, what a lovely name, not very common. You marveled at her for a while before she said "you gotta name sweetheart or do I just gotta guess?"

You go a bright shade of red as you realised you've done it again." Oh sorry, its Y/N."

"Oh, Y/N. Cute name." She said with a wink

You blush.

She gets all her tools out and fixes your car whilst you chat. Soon enough it's all done and ready to get back in the road again.

"And... there. All fixed" Nat sighs as she closes your bonnet with a thump.

"Oh thank you so much I don't know what I would've done without you here" You say about to get in your car until Nat says

"Where do you think you're going sugarpie?"

"Huh?" You reply, startled.

"You don't think I did all that for free did you?"

"Oh, umm... I don't have any money on me... but... umm... I..."

"No, no, no, no. That ain't the type of payment I was thinking sweetheart"

"Did you think you could get away from me in that short, short little skirt of yours?". Nat starts to inch closer to you.

You stare at her wide eyed. "Whats going on", you think. She gently touches your shoulders and whispers into your ear.

"Besides, it would be rude not to thank me for what I did, now, wouldn't it? Do you need mommy to teach you some manners?"

At that moment Natasha pinned you up against her truck, her soft lips brush against yours and her hands make their way down your figure slowly. She starts pressing herself into you while her kisses start to become more intense. Her hands arrives at your ass and feels its shape. With a groan, she squeezes it and takes you the bonnet of her truck. She bends you over the front and gets out a strap on from her tool box.

"You want mommy's cock?" She asks teasingly.

"Mmmm, want mommy in me" you reply

"Good" She smirks as she pushes your head so all you can see is your reflection in her windshield.

"You ready darlin?"

Nat slowly pushes her cock into your ass while you wince.

"Mmmm mommy's so big"

Nat likes that, gently she starts to pull out and push back into you making sure you can handle her size then roughly she starts really fucking you. You can feel her in your stomach so big, a wave of pleasure comes over you and Nat can see it she starts going even faster.

"Look at you darlin you're just a little wreck for mommy aren't you"

You go to respond but you can't you've forgotten anything but her cock and how it feels inside. Nat slaps your ass,

"I said you're a wreck for mommy aren't you"

"I... I'm a wreck m... mommy" You manage to whimper.

You scream as you orgasm all over her. Nat turns you over on her bonnet and with two fingers inside your already dripping pussy, she picks you up and lays you down in the back of her truck.

She starts rubbing your inner thighs like a massage then brings her hands down to your knees and spreads your legs in such a way that makes you shudder with delight. Nat, her strap on taken off my this point, brings her head down to your cunt. You can feel her breath on your thighs. She then starts to gently kiss and tease your clit, eventually after much pleading she burys her face in your pussy, her tounge tasting all of your juices. She hits every one of your sensitive spots perfectly and as you twitch against her you finish all over her face with the biggest orgasm of your life that leaves you unable to think about anything.

Nat wipes her face off and smirks, "You can clean yourself up now sweetheart, here y' are"

She throws you the rag she just used for herself but you're to drunk on pleasure to do anything about your mess and just lie there in extacy.

I'm super fucked on money right now, between having to save up for car insurance, taking my cat to the vet, needing more antibiotics & eye drops for my cat, saving up for moving costs, having to pay $150 to replace my keys, and trying to keep up with household costs in the meantime.

I'm a single queer parent on disability. I make $760 a month and my upcoming costs are going to cost me more than my SSI payment. I have to get a U-haul soon and I know I won't get my full deposit back because of damage my cats and son have made to the house. I have to get out of here, though; they'll raise my rent by $100 a month if I sign a new lease or charge me $300 extra for month-to-month.

I really need all the help I can get
