I feel bad for being sarcastic now.
If your account is negative you shouldn’t be going places that expect/require a tip. But you know this.
While it’s courageous to consistently tip and encourage others to do so…. Employers should really pay a fair wage, pushing them and lawmakers to do so is really the only way to change the system.
Sadly, in the US the system is designed to profit off the masses and keep many of us struggling.
My LPT for you is to do your best to keep being your best.

Actually, sleeping on your side is better for sleep apnea than sleeping on your back - even with CPAP

Agreed. It's impossible to make an actual living in the industry. I know you're being sarcastic but I'm trying to help. My bank account has a negative balance but I still tip and I want people who have actual money to do the same.

So both of these prevent you from using these services?

I mean okay, but that just seems implausible to me. There's got to be some other mechanism at work: an inability to ask for help due to mental issues or something.
But thanks for doing something. Thanks for doing anything at all

Sure, resources exist, but anyone who relies on or works within social services knows that these resources are scarce and often demand a lot of work to access. For example, in my area, Saint Vincent De Paul emergency rental assistance can only be access after a tenant has received a 72-hour notice of lease termination due to unpaid rent. Then you better be available at 9:30am SHARP to get in their hold line. If you get through, you may simply be informed that funds are exhausted for the month or your specific situation does not qualify for use of their limited funds. The week before Christmas the hold queue had more than 100 people waiting by mid-morning. They were trying to get overdue rent covered—no support for next month becomes available until evictions are already being processed so it is impossible to get ahead of impending eviction proceedings, you are forced to play catch up. I worked in social services for a while and it became a running “joke” (not funny, just a sad coping mechanism) to ask a coworker: “and what should we tell them to do now? Call 211?” Because calling 211 is rarely an effective course of action when trying to prevent an impending eviction or other event that could result in someone losing their housing. Yes, calling 211 (or using their surprisingly functional mobile app) can help people learn about local resources but that’s just the first tiny baby step toward qualifying for, applying for, and receiving any form of rent or utility assistance. My goal in sharing this info is not rain on anyone’s parade, I just get exhausted when well-meaning people share these resources as if they are a miracle cure for housing insecurity. These support systems are designed to be ineffectual and it can take someone a lifetime of effort and pure luck to get anything out of them. People are not unhoused simply bc they don’t know these resources they exist.

Plant something from seed and see how long you can make it last. Also great time to start a brand new routine for yourself.

Reply to comment by LaReinalicious in LPT Use liquid dish soap by [deleted]
You can also use dish soap in your dishwasher. You’re washing dishes, after all. Right?
Pro tip: do NOT use dish soap in your dishwasher. Also don’t use it in your vehicle or on your door hinges. It will cause more problems than it fixes.

Please don't do this. Instead use a spray dry lube. It's sold next to wd-40 and is designed for this exact situation, unlike wd-40 and dish soap.
