Thin Privilege posted:Thank you. I appreciate your openness. BYOB is sort of like the opposite of FYAD. We're a chill forum for good people to chat, relax, joke and have fun. It's really a nice place to post, and we have a program for helping GBS refugees get started. I think e/n still follows the old rules, though. If you do want to get started in BYOB, here's a few good threads to begin with. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3765007 http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3791322 http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3791043

I am writing a paper on a dead priest, and managed to find three books that are at all useful on telling me about him, and got them from the uni library. I got the books a week and change ago, and was supposed to have them for a month. Two got recalled, and now I need to get them back in three days. I managed to find another copy of one of them, but I need the other, so I am just going to keep it until I am done. But I gotta eat a 2 dollar late charge a day, 20 dollars altogether, and it pisses me off.

TwystNeko posted:So last week I attempted to get some financial support for looking after my sister - the Alberta govt. has a caregiver's stipend available. Except since I'm her brother, I'm not eligible. It's only parent/child relationships that they cover. They called me back 20 minutes after the meeting to tell me not to bother with the paperwork as I wasn't eligible, and by the way, here's a list of temp agencies, good luck! Pretty much the most polite "get hosed" I've ever received. I mean, situation sucks, but lol at that last bit. "I was not eligible for a program based on my relationship to someone, and I probably should have been. drat non-whites and women must have it so easy!"

TwystNeko posted:Actually, I've had some serious discussions about it - there is honestly a lack of programs and support for men - in this city at least. I guess it sounds sexist and racist or whatever, but it wasn't really meant that way. My bad, it was a lovely way to put it. There is far more support for women and minorities, in social programs and funding. I've never thought that funding for those groups should be removed, but I do think there needs to be more for men in distress. Alright, yeah, I can work with that. The weird ingrained idea that men should be able to handle everything is definitely a problem, and it sounds like you really deserve the support and got hosed by the way things are set up. There should also be more support across the board and in general, because that poo poo is always underfunded even in the best cases, but that's a digression. Used to that sort of language being some rear end in a top hat whining about how white men are the worst off in society, and everyone else being freeloaders, and such. Also, sounds like you are doing a good thing. You're a good guy, taking care of her. Sorry for jumping down your throat.
