Things You Are Not Stoked On

[slippy]

People assuming that working in a pawn shop is just like an episode of fucking Pawn Stars.

Instead it's just people bringing in power tools and tvs to get cash to go score

I saw a man wearing a Yezzur hoodie with my own eyes live on the street.

Visa laws in Australia. My girls from canada and has been living in Australia with me for a year, she couldnt extend her working holiday visa and the only way she could stay was getting a student visa and studying which is fine but she can only work 20 hours a week, not the best set up.

She could teach Canadian under the table for some extra cash.

[close]

How long have you been together?
Granted I got my permanent visa years ago but I came over here with no idea and ended up claiming "de facto partnership".
So as long as I could prove we'd been together for a year (basic pics, phone records, I moved my bank acc to her place and a few references) we were sweet.

I'm not saying it'll definitely work bit it's worth a look.

2 and a half years my man.
Was it costly to apply as Defacto? We didnt even see that option but thanks for the tip, guess i gotta dive deeper into researching options

We were together 3 years when I applied.
Cost wise I can't really remember, I think it was about the $300 to $500 mark.

My biggest issue was that while your applying you're not allowed to work. I helped out at my fiances dads factory in place of rent and for a few dollars a week but my application took nearly 2 years but I slacked off a bit as I was scared once I was done they'd say no.

As far as I'm aware it's still a legit reason to emigrate somewhere and claim citizenship.

Somewhat true. We see our fair share of meth heads and crack addicts, but they rarely have something that we're willing to put money in, or they have a brand new whatever the fuck still wrapped up in the original packaging but no receipt. Which, at that point, we can't take it.
But, most of the customers we see are people who live paycheck-to-paycheck, or are on disability/social security and need a little cash before their money hits their account.

Damn, man. That's heavy. Sending love his way.

got a text this AM driving in to work that my good friend's father passed overnight in his sleep. Crazy...... just saw him last weekend at his grandson's bday party. Hits hard.

This thread is nothing but bummer material, but I keep coming back. Sorry to everyone who lost someone or has experienced life altering events. God damn. Internet hugs. I'm only capable of digital hugs anyway.

[jay_nev]

I like it because it can be good to get it out. And it’s great having support for each other

We've got a gnarly winter storm on the way today, 25-40 cm's plus crazy winds.

Guess I'm taking the day off.

Found out my already sick grandmother might have pneumonia shortly after getting to work today. Feels like I'm trying to breathe underwater now.

I gave a friend a pair of decent old trucks when he needed them and he’s since bought new ones more to his liking.

I had another friend who I was setting up a complete for so I asked if I could get back the old ones he wasn’t using but HE THREW THEM IN THE TRASH!

Who fucking does that?!?

[Willie]

Also, I hope your mom gets well soon, Fisherman. I feel gross following up your serious problem with a trivial complaint.

I paid $24,000 in taxes for 2019 and I’ll never be able to own a home 😂.

[FrenchFriedClownFingers]

the price of old skate shirts really pisses me off. these dudes want $150 minimum for anything hookups or birdhouse,.  i look for old toy machine shirts but they are pricey as well.

i don't see how the shirts are as much as the boards if not more

I work in rental bussiness with LED screens. We are maybe the biggest company in central Europe, and this Corona shit is really fucking shit up. We have some screens on Geneva autoshow, and now it has been cancelled too. We are loosing money like fuck.

Someone not worth giving kickdowns to unless advised to reciprocate the gesture of kindness. I believe that everything that one considers trash someone else will use especially trucks.

Also have had double walking pneumonia it sucked hence why me and SF don't get along everytime I go there I get mad sick with pneumonia, every single time.

My partner of the past 3-4 years started using cocaine. It immediately became an every day, all the time thing. I’ve asked them to let me buy them a testing kit, cuz if they’re using they might as well be safe? They weren’t interested. It’s put a strain on our relationship and man, it hurts so fucking much.
I’ve been a few years hard drug-free and cocaine was one of my problem drugs. Admittedly, my partner using is affecting my own recovery. I spoke with a friend who is a substance abuse counselor and she recommended I set boundaries and distance myself, that there wasn’t much I can do.
And I’m just here hurting. Too sad to go skate. It’s a beautiful day. I stayed up late because I stayed at my partner’s apartment and found coke residue all over the place, so I cleaned every surface and washed every coke tool. I love them so much. I really wish things weren’t like this.

As an ex-junkie, all I can say is: leave now. There is nothing you can do for them. You know it yourself. When/if they get their shit together, then you can talk.

Sorry for being blunt. Terrible situation to be in. Would be shitty to see you stop posting and skating to smoke rocks just because your partner talked you into it.

Despite most of my family passing it off as her forgetfulness it's becoming clear my mum is developing alzheimer's.
The worst part is they live in England with my brother and I live in Australia.

15 years ago living over here was a rad idea and I still love it but it's becoming clear that there are downsides.

[L33Tg33k]

Asking my mom for rent money. It's wack as fuck, but I was off the job and not getting paid for a while. I'm back at work now but I haven't had a payday yet.

so true. I'm glad you see that. I get treated like a drug addict everywhere. I'm fucking disabled doing the best I can.

Just caught a bad cold, sinuses completely stuffed and throat is killing me. Haven't been sick in years.


Such a fun weekend, at least it's not as bad as it was on Friday.
