Okay... So I'm still alive Obv. Just got a new job for $18/hr - Page 3

Ouch · 02-18-2020, 01:26 AM

I think he’s saying Australia... and you guys don’t get paid in dollars, euros I think.. and how that translates to US dollars and cost of living in Australia would be pretty hard to gauge, so I dunno if that’s better than here or not.. multiple factors

Ouch · 02-18-2020, 01:32 AM

I think people at McDonald’s here get paid like 10 something though starting off.

Ouch · 02-18-2020, 01:35 AM

Which is better than what it was but it’s still not a living wage... you aren’t paying rent, car insurance, internet/cable bill, food.. let alone anything like smoking cigs or going out on a 10$ an hour salary at 40 hours a week by yourself... not happening, you’re barely doing it on 18$

Ouch · 02-18-2020, 01:42 AM

If you’re running and maintaining a car, insurance.. gas.. new plates when you need it...paying rent.. food... internet/tv... cell phone bill... on 40 hr a week at 10$ an hour, it’s not possible

Not really even possible on 18$ an hour... you’ve got to either live with your parents, a roommate or 2, or have a spouse that pulls in as much as you do to even make it remotely comfortable or plausible... I know I’ve been relatively poor all my life, with no help from family.. I’ve got some money in cash and have 9k in the bank right now and that’s the most I’ve ever had

Exis · 02-18-2020, 02:41 AM

Yes, I live in Australia @Finnydot

Exis · 02-18-2020, 02:45 AM

@Ouch currencey here is different fam, it's not doubled on some UK shit...I think Australian money is around 82 cents equals a doller in the US...

Ok after I typed that I thought, actually I think aus has their own currency not the euro... but despite all that it’d be hard to translate like ok so if I came to aus with $ and had it transferred to your money obviously there a pure exchange rate..

But it would be hard to factor in like.. the cost of living and etc based on that vs. somewhere in America. A lot of variables

Exis · 02-18-2020, 03:01 AM

When I came to Australia in 2001 with 10 thousand it gave me just above 15 on exchange, Now...That would be in the red like my rep bro.

Ouch · 02-18-2020, 03:10 AM

Yeah but that still doesn’t even explain anything and I’m not asking you to it would be too hard... too many variables.. be like saying ok if you came from your country to America transferred your Australia queen victoria money to $.. we know the exchange rate... but how would that translate to.. say getting an average 2 bedroom apt in Lincoln Nebraska vs. getting one in Manhattan. And the explaining the difference, too many variables.

But what is that rep power even mean I really don’t know.. because I’d down vote some people on here if I knew how

Finnydot · 02-20-2020, 03:56 PM

What meds do you take I was prescribed Prozac/fluoxetine that’s just the generic version ...same thing when I was in rehab.. and gabapentin at the same time.

I didn’t notice any difference, with things like Prozac and other SSRI’s I know supposedly it’s supposed to take like, months and months to actually have an affect on your depression. And I don’t even know what gabapentin is, thats just what they prescribed me.

And when I was is prison I got on Thorazine.. dunno what that even for but if you get lucky and get to even see a doctor in prison, they just randomly give you that.

Ouch · 02-21-2020, 12:24 PM

I don’t have very many skills and things that I know about, I know something about everything... but not a lot about anything

But yeah, I really know a lot about drug tests... and I guess my point was that it sucks that weed stays in your system for a long time and other shit doesn’t

Ouch · 02-21-2020, 12:26 PM

I live in Michigan... weed is recreationally legal here now... as it should be... I’ve never been to a dispensary though and legally bought weed..

Ouch · 02-21-2020, 12:29 PM

It’ll be legal pretty soon in almost all states, the government doesn’t give a fuck they’re just trying to figure out the best way to tax it.. so cali and Washington Colorado and Michigan ar like a dry test run

Amen · 02-21-2020, 01:00 PM

No one is arguing? I was trying f to help you understand the “why” part.

Again, weed stores in fat cells. Which takes more time for the body to break it down. That is why.

Have a mouth swab drug test tomorrow. It's funny... I didn't smoke for 3 months but started last weekend. I looked it up, should be able to pass after not smoking for 24 hours.

Hope is weird.

I took a mouth swag test once about 39 mins after putting the blunt out and passed

Ouch couldn't even get Finnys old job real talk
