It doesnt leave you much room to think about what you are doing, only to attend to the next thing and the next. Planning isnt in the mix. When I got pregnant the first time, I was living in a weekly motel. I had a minifridge with no freezer and a microwave. Dead Or Alive 4 Ps2 Download more. I was on WIC. I ate peanut butter from the jar and frozen burritos because they were 1. Had I had a stove, I couldnt have made beef burritos that cheaply. And I needed the meat, I was pregnant.

Most people on my level didnt. Broccoli is intimidating. You have to have a working stove, and pots, and spices, and youll have to do the dishes no matter how tired you are or theyll attract bugs.

The full story about why procrastinators routinely ruin their own lives. It doesnt provide a distinction, it provides an escape pathYour complaints make you a suspected Nice Guy Are you interested in the possibility that you. It never works out well and always makes you feel worse for having tried and failed yet again. Better not to try. It makes more sense to get food that you know will be palatable and cheap and that keeps well. Junk food is a pleasure that we are allowed to have why would we give that up We have very few of them. The closest Planned Parenthood to me is three hours. Thats a lot of money in gas. Lots of women cant afford that, and even if you live near one you probably dont want to be seen coming in and out in a lot of areas. Were aware that we are not having kids, were breeding. We have kids for much the same reasons that I imagine rich people do. Urge to propagate and all. Nobody likes poor people procreating, but they judge abortion even harder. Convenience food is just that. And we are not allowed many conveniences. Especially since the Patriot Act passed, its hard to get a bank account. But without one, you spend a lot of time figuring out where to cash a check and get money orders to pay bills. Most motels now have a no credit card no room policy. I wandered around SF for five hours in the rain once with nearly a thousand dollars on me and could not rent a room even if I gave them a 5. Nobody gives enough thought to depression. You have to understand that we know that we will never not feel tired. We will never feel hopeful. We will never get a vacation. Ever. We know that the very act of being poor guarantees that we will never not be poor. It doesnt give us much reason to improve ourselves. We dont apply for jobs because we know we cant afford to look nice enough to hold them. I would make a super legal secretary, but Ive been turned down more than once because I dont fit the image of the firm, which is a nice way of saying gtfo, pov. I am good enough to cook the food, hidden away in the kitchen, but my boss wont make me a server because I dont fit the corporate image. I am not beautiful. I have missing teeth and skin that looks like it will when you live on B1. Beauty is a thing you get when you can afford it, and thats how you get the job that you need in order to be beautiful. There isnt much point trying. Cooking attracts roaches. Nobody realizes that.

Besides, all theyll tell you at the clinic is that you need to see a specialist, which seriouslyMight as well be located on Mars for how accessible it is. Low cost and sliding scale sounds like money you have to spend to me, and they cant actually help you anyway. I smoke. Its expensive. Its also the best option. You see, I am always, always exhausted. Its a stimulant. When I am too tired to walk one more step, I can smoke and go for another hour. When I am enraged and beaten down and incapable of accomplishing one more thing, I can smoke and I feel a little better, just for a minute. It is the only relaxation I am allowed. It is not a good decision, but it is the only one that I have access to. It is the only thing I have found that keeps me from collapsing or exploding. I make a lot of poor financial decisions. None of them matter, in the long term. I will never not be poor, so what does it matter if I dont pay a thing and a half this week instead of just one thing Its not like the sacrifice will result in improved circumstances the thing holding me back isnt that I blow five bucks at Wendys. Its that now that I have proven that I am a Poor Person that is all that I am or ever will be. It is not worth it to me to live a bleak life devoid of small pleasures so that one day I can make a single large purchase. I will never have large pleasures to hold on to. Theres a certain pull to live what bits of life you can while theres money in your pocket, because no matter how responsible you are you will be broke in three days anyway. When you never have enough money it ceases to have meaning. I imagine having a lot of it is the same thing. Poverty is bleak and cuts off your long term brain. Its why you see people with four different babydaddies instead of one. You grab a bit of connection wherever you can to survive. You have no idea how strong the pull to feel worthwhile is. Its more basic than food. You go to these people who make you feel lovely for an hour that one time, and thats all you get. Youre probably not compatible with them for anything long term, but right this minute they can make you feel powerful and valuable. It does not matter what will happen in a month. Whatever happens in a month is probably going to be just about as indifferent as whatever happened today or last week. None of it matters. We dont plan long term because if we do well just get our hearts broken. Its best not to hope. You just take what you can get as you spot it. I am not asking for sympathy.

Quotes, without endorsing and with quite a bit of mocking, mean arguments by terrible people. Some analogical discussion of fatphobia, poorphobia, Islamophobia. This topic is personally enraging to me and I dont promise I can treat it fairly. I. I recently had a patient, a black guy from the worst part of Detroit, lets call him Dan, who was telling me of his woes. He came from a really crappy family with a lot of problems, but he was trying really hard to make good. He was working two full time minimum wage jobs, living off cheap noodles so he could save some money in the bank, trying to scrape a little bit of cash together. Unfortunately, hed had a breakdown see him being in a psychiatric hospital, he was probably going to lose his jobs, and everything was coming tumbling down around him. And he was getting a little philosophical about it, and he asked Im paraphrasing here why havent things worked out for me Im hard working, Ive never missed a day of work until now, Ive always given a hundred and ten percent. And meanwhile, I see all these rich white guys no offense, doctor, he added, clearly overestimating the salary of a medical resident who kind of coast through school, coast into college, end up with 9 4 desk jobs working for a friend of their fathers with excellent salaries and benefits, and if they need to miss a couple of days of work, whether its for a hospitalization or just to go on a cruise, nobody questions it one way or the other. Im a harder worker than they are, he said and I believed him so how is that fair And of course, like most of the people I deal with at my job, theres no good answer except maybe restructuring society from the ground up, so I gave him some platitudes about how its not his fault, told him about all the social services available to him, and gave him a pill to treat a biochemical condition almost completely orthogonal to his real problem. And Im still not sure what a good response to his question would have been. But later that night I was browsing the Internet and I was reminded of what the worse response humanly possible. It would go something like You keep whining about how unfair it is that you cant get a good job. But Im such a hard worker. No, actual hard workers dont feel like theyre entitled to other peoples money just because they ask nicely. Why do rich white kids who got legacy admissions to Yale receive cushy sinecures, but I have to work two grueling minimum wage jobs just to keep a roof over my head By even asking that question, you prove that you think of bosses as giant bags of money, rather than as individual human beings who are allowed to make their own choices. No one owes you money just because you say you work hard, and by complaining about this youre proving youre not really a hard worker at all. Ive seen a lot of Hard Workers TM like you, and scratch their entitled surface and you find someone who thinks just because they punched a time card once everyone needs to bow down and worship them. If you complain about rich white kids who get legacy admissions to Yale, youre raising a huge red flag that youre the kind of person who steals from their employer, and companies are exactly right to give you a wide berth. Such a response would be so antisocial and unjust that it could only possibly come from the social justice movement. II. Ive been thinking about nice guys lately for a couple of reasons. First, I read Alas, A Blogs recent post on the subject, MRAs And Anti Feminists Have Ruined Complaining About Being Single. Second, I had yet another patient who I feel obligated to say at this point that the specific details of these patient stories are made up, and several of them are composites of multiple different people, in order to protect confidentiality. Im preserving the general gist, nothing more I had a patient, lets call him Henry for reasons that are to become clear, who came to hospital after being picked up for police for beating up his fifth wife. So I asked the obvious question What happened to your first four wivesOh, said the patient, Domestic violence issues. Two of them left me. One of them I got put in jail, and shed moved on once I got out. One I just grew tired of. Youve beaten up all five of your wives I asked in disbelief. Yeah, he said, without sounding very apologetic. And why, exactly, were you beating your wife this time I asked. She was yelling at me, because I was cheating on her with one of my exes. With your ex wife One of the ones you beat upYeah. So you beat up your wife, she left you, you married someone else, and then she came back and had an affair on the side with you I asked him. Yeah, said Henry. I wish, I wish I wish, that Henry was an isolated case. But hes interesting more for his anomalously high number of victims than for the particular pattern. Last time I talked about these experiences, one of my commenters linked me to what was later described as the only Theodore Dalrymple piece anyone ever links to. Most of the commenters saw a conservative guy trying to push an ideological point, and I guess thats part of it. But for me it looked more like the story of a psychiatrist from an upper middle class background suddenly realizing how dysfunctional and screwed up a lot of his patients are and having his mind recoil in horror from the fact which is something I can sympathize with. Henry was the worst of a bad bunch, but nowhere near unique. When I was younger and I mean from teeanger hood all the way until about three years ago I was a nice guy. And I said the same thing as every other nice guy, which is I am a nice guy, how come girls dont like meThere seems to be some confusion about this, so let me explain what it means, to everyone, for all time. It does not mean I am nice in some important cosmic sense, therefore I am entitled to sex with whomever I want. It means I am a nicer guy than Henry. Or to spell it out very carefully, Henry clearly has no trouble attracting partners. Hes been married five times and had multiple extra marital affairs and pre marital partners, many of whom were well aware of his past domestic violence convictions and knew exactly what they were getting into. Meanwhile, here I was, twenty five years old, never been on a date in my life, every time I ask someone out I get laughed at, Im constantly teased and mocked for being a virgin and a nerd whom no one could ever love, starting to develop a serious neurosis about it. And here I was, tried my best never to be mean to anyone, pursued a productive career, worked hard to help all of my friends. I didnt think I deserved to have the prettiest girl in school prostrate herself at my feet. But I did think I deserved to not be doing worse than Henry. No, I didnt know Henry at the time. But everyone knows a Henry. Most people know several. Even three years ago, I knew there were Henry like people your abusers, your rapists, your bullies and it wasnt hard to notice that none of them seemed to be having the crushing loneliness problem I was suffering from. And, like my patient Dan, I just wanted to know how is this fairAnd I made the horrible mistake of asking this question out loud, and that was how I learned about social justice.
