yes, did you just learn that being poor is expensive? you get much much less, for much more.

Yes, I was also poor once and living in a shithouse falling apart but I didn't get articles written about me and I doubt I'd even want them to, nor would I ever want to be 3 years without a job without an explanation (eg. seriously disabled)

I'd rather work stacking shelves at coles or woolworths while I studied/did TAFE for a junior role in literally anything

"i didn't get articles written about me" someone comments on an article written about them...

that's literally an article about living in poverty and you are complaining in the comments about not having articles written about living in poverty...

or maybe you just want an article written personally about you specifically?

Did you miss the rest of my post somehow?

you would be right, but are you aware disabilities exist?

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone -4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She fixing up houses for free while living on welfare, crazy, absolutely crazy, there has to be more to this story, she can’t handle stress, has some sort of medical issue

Good chat

wow, good job diagnosing people from a couple sentences. I can play that game too, if I were to go down to your level, I can diagnose you with a severe lack of class consciousness, and also a lot of stupidity.

Delirious is more difficult to cure than culture robbery.
