Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

idk how tight your budget is but i'd recommend maybe squirreling some money away for an emergency lightweight laptop (or tablet if you prefer, i recommend a case with mini keyboard too if you hate touch-typing) if you ever think you might have to move out or risk homelessness. can't really carry a desktop around!

when i was homeless, my cheapo little netbook felt like the only thing keeping me sane tbh. DEFINITELY back your computer shit up on your cloud storage service of choice in case you get robbed. i keep all my important shit online except for a copy of my keepass files, aka password storage. if i got robbed right now, i'd have to redownload videos and shit again but nothing life-ruining. throw it in a decently sized bag, lock it shut if you're paranoid, hide it under your pillow in a shelter, wrap the strap around yourself.

with public wi-fi, don't feel obligated to sit in a restaurant and order food all day every day. sometimes you can get away with loitering outside on your phone/mobile device for a bit or pretending you're waiting to meet someone. free places like libraries are best for obvious reasons. dress like you're not homeless and hopefully people assume you're just some broke-ass student.

ugh, the american healthcare system. my god, for the longest time, poor women have basically been fucked unless they're pregnant or disabled. becoming disabled was somewhat of a blessing in that way? horrible that the "best country in the world" treats its own citizens this way while doing a bunch of bullshit flexing. TOP KEK, SHITHOLE COUNTRIES!

i don't live in low income housing but yeah it's pretty similar in the usa. a big fucking joke. sometimes it feels like it's purposely set up so shittily to make us fail. section 8 housing here also takes a thousand years to get unless you're currently homeless and/or disabled and/or with kids. i'm not saying they don't deserve housing too, it's just fucking crazy that so many people need it in the first place, what's wrong with this country?!

never seen a tent city firsthand but again, so fucked up that a first world country has a problem like that. i fear for female-assigned-at-birth folks because being homeless is so dangerous. add risk of rape (or worse) and... yikes.

idk how politicians can turn a blind eye to this shit. people aren't living in tent cities or freezing to death on the street for fucking fun! i guess i'm fortunate that i've lived in places where food banks aren't that terrible, they'll give you a box but half of it is random stuff. like nasty watermelon-flavored marshmallows? a shit ton of fresh tomatoes i'm required to take even though i hate them? beggars can't be choosers but some hauls just seem so wasteful. give me stereotypical poor foods like lentils and rice, i could use that for something.
