Fuck that. I'll drink the booze and make them watch as I pretend I'm a woman and dance for them like a Trans Santa. I have no car, can't afford booze, lost my passport in a NYC cab in 2004, and can't even afford a computer that works properly. I could use a little vacation.

That sounds like a dreary situation. One of our vehicles hasn't been working so I'm often stuck without one. It's nice being able to go somewhere even if you don't.

and can't even afford a computer that works properly

Have you checked out the refurbished computers on Amazon? They had some amazing deals last time I looked. Got one for my grandfather for $120 and I don't remember the specs but I remember being impressed what was offered for the price.

Or ask around and see if anyone is giving them away. Every time someone in my family does a build there's usually the old working, or mostly working, or at least parts of a computer left unneeded. We don't do them often anymore but people really into computers or gaming usually upgrade often.

Ya, soon I'll get a better refurbished one for Mint. I need to save up though. I only buy harddrives new.

can't afford booze

I'll buy you a drink. You got Zelle up there? Or we can figure something out. PM me the details. I'll send $20.

TIL what Zelle is.

Save your money until I earn it. By Groundhog Day or sooner I'll be quitting SaidIt-main to do a big project or few. First I'll do a survey to see which of my six or seven options folks think I should attack first, perhaps a few simultaneously, and then I'll be primarily focused on them and posting developments regularly on SaidIt like a blog. I'll have to set up some funding options too, especially for the projects that have practical needs.

If I had $20 more, I'd just buy some nicer food, instead of the cheap shit.

Lemme know if you change your mind. Nicer food works too. A guy helped me out with $20 a while back and I normally don't have money to spare but we got a stimulus. Figure one day if you ever have extra you can help someone else out.

I REALLY appreciate the sentiment and your insistence. It means a lot. I once made plenty. But now even $20 makes a big difference. My rent, hydro, internet are inclusive leaving less than $500 a month for food and stuff. Every month I buy a hard drive or some treat like that.

I expect shit to pop off on the 20th. Perhaps a false flag, perhaps an assassination. Who knows. Webb has some ideas.

After whatever happens I'll likely lurk around for a week to learn details about it and then pull back and focus. Hopefully less than a week. Groundhog Day the latest. In addition to determining my course I'll be asking SaidIt about funding support preferences then will do all that registration stuff.

I hope you can hang on to it until then. And I hope my projects won't disappoint.
