  • a not inaccurate description of his behaviors.

    especially the paranoid delusions.

    his constant professing of what “people” “say” “to him”, especially particularly absurd things that there is no evidence anyone has ever said to him, would also technically meet the definition of him hearing voices - IF he is not lying. Which, to be fair, he could be, because he lies about a lot of shit all the time.

    Impossible to rule out. Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims like a duck. I’m no ornithologist but heuristically speaking treating the proverbial duck-like phenomenon as though it is a duck coincides with a statistically high probability of ideal results.

    $23/hr x 40 hours = $920/wk
    $920 x 52 weeks per year = $47,840 per year, gross.
    government takes ~25% in taxes leaving you with net $35,880
    rent is $850 x 12 months = $10,200
    $35,880 - $10,200 = $25,680
    student loans $1000/mo x 12 months = $12,000
    $25,680 - $12,000 = $13,680
    groceries $400 x 12 months = $4,800 $13,680 - $4,800 = $8,880 to spare.

    Your annual budget has a surplus of $8,880
    Divided over 12 months, you have an allowance of $740 per month.

    Honestly you have it better than most people.

    Furthermore you don’t need $400 in food each month.

    Food is stupid anyway; Most Americans are overweight, so you can probably get by on less.

    If carbohydrates have not yet been made toxic to your biochemistry via your metabolism being turbofucked to hell by sugar and empty starch, you could pull the red beans and rice plus basic spice hack for staple nutrition. Literally just big fucking bags of dry brown rice and dried red beans.

    I see dried red beans and dry brown rice coming in around $1 per lb, and that’s DRIED remember - after you soak them and cook them you’re getting multiple pounds of food per dollar. You could get your grocery budget down to $100 per month if this is your base-load calorie source per meal and you decide to spruce things up every so often with a dollar here and a dollar there.

    mine is Wallet, Keys, Phone, (ear)Buds, Mask, Hat; then i also pick up my backpack that has everything in it that i would need to restart my life from scratch and bring that with me too.

    active prescription medication, insurance info, medical records, notarized copies of identifying documents (the originals are in a safe deposit box admittedly), my core set of electronics and their infrastructural bits (chargers, cables, I/O adapters, input devices, batteries, storage, a small fold-up solar panel), basic hygiene supplies, first aid kit, water purification tablets, a mess kit, waterproof matches, a leatherman multitool, 50’ of 500lb rated paracord (it’s purple! :D), an 8’x10’ tarp, my towel (obviously of course) and a thousand dollars of emergency cash in a hidden pouch inside another hidden pouch. (edit: oh right i also have several single serving pouches of jerky in there for emergency nutrition if needed)

    it’s not nearly as heavy as i expected it to be so i just kinda lug it everywhere. There’s even room for two spare changes of underclothes or one entire extra set of clothes, under and outer, should i bother to bring some.

    the screaming 20s have been difficult and taught me to be ready to go in a moment’s notice ._.
