I can't estimate how big the #unplugTrump movement is. However, I'd bet it's too insignificant to even be noticed by #ebay #paypal #meta #amazon #microsoft or any other American company.

That's the fundamental dilemma: The masses behave like brainless zombies, following the most seductive scent. We, the minority, can rant and rebel as loudly as we like, but we'll only attract their aggression. Maybe we should give up and just enjoy our lives, which are far too short anyway. We'll never be able to change the system and should leave this to greater forces than we could ever muster. Mother #Nature will soon make change inevitable. The minority cannot (any longer) avoid from being dragged dwon with them.

Ich kann nicht abschätzen, wie groß die #unplugTrump-Bewegung ist. Ich würde jedoch wetten, dass sie zu unbedeutend ist, um von #ebay #paypal #meta #amazon #microsoft oder welches amerikanisches Unternehmen auch immer überhaupt bemerkt zu werden.

Das ist ja das grundsätzliche Dilemma: Die Masse verhält sich wie hirnlose Zombies, die dem verführerischsten Duft folgt. Wir, die Minderheit, können noch so laut zetern und aufbegehren und ziehen doch nur deren Aggressionen auf uns. Vielleicht sollten wir aufgeben und einfach unser eh viel zu kurzes Leben genießen. Wir werden es nie schaffen, das System zu ändern und sollten dies größeren Kräften, als wir jemals aufbringen könnten, überlassen. Mutter #Natur wird bald einen Wandel unumgänglich machen. Die Minderheit kann nicht (mehr) verhindern, mit ins Verderben gezogen zu werden.

I Could Really Truly Use Some HELP and SUPPORT Right NOW!

I am a #disabled man living in #poverty, my #disability is 60% physical and 40% mental, and as I get older, both of those are increasingly hard to deal with, each day I try to do what I can where I live, as part of my rent is to help out when and as I can, but that is getting harder and harder to do, I am spent, between losing what little strength and physical ability I have left and not getting decent sleep nor having a decent diet, things just keep getting harder, and that causes my #anxiety to get worse which causes my #bipolar to cycle, which causes more lack of sleep, and I am in constant pain, and on and on it goes, at 47 years old I sure wish people could see the value in helping me #fundraise $5million dollars so that I can buy my own property and build my forever home, and have everything I need to never have to worry again, and to alleviate the stress of my day to day situation, and so I can really just age at a pace that wont effect anyone or anything, because in my own home, if I cant or dont feel like it I dont have to do anything for days, weeks, or months at a time and no one can get mad at me. People seem to forget that I am disabled and they dont realize I am getting older, nor do they comprehend that I simply cant afford #food to eat 3 meals a day, often not even one meal a day, that I have no #healthcare, people in general expect me to just keep going like the energizer bunny, when the reality is I am an old broke down ford truck, that on occasion I can get fired up and get a few things done, but more often than not, I really dont have the gas to even stand up, being #disabled and living in #poverty Fucking Sucks! you cant afford to eat when your hungry, you cant afford to take care of your health, you cant afford anything a person needs in life, Poverty Fucking Sucks, but when Your Disabled, it Fucking Blows, and every little thing is compounded a 1000 times and no one really cares to help you. I have so many unseen issues, most don’t realize the true difficulty I endure each day, first I don’t sleep well, for many reasons, from a brain that is constantly in overdrive, to relentless nightmares, to being in constant pain, to not having a decent supportive bed to sleep on, so my days start of painful, tired and overwhelmed before I even get going, Often I go hungry because living in #poverty I simply can not afford #food to eat, I typically only get around 600-800 calories a day when a man my size and age should be getting around 3000 calories a day, as a result despite my appearance I suffer from malnutrition, I have a great deal of difficulty cleaning my tiny cave, from not being able to afford the basics to have cleaning supplies to being physically limited in my ability to do so, I cant hardly bend over, nor can I very easily get up and down off the floor, taking a shower can simply become a serious challenge, and often leaves my exhausted not to mention I cant often afford the basics for personal hygiene, simply washing a dish or standing at the stove at times can be brutal on my back, then there are chores I need to tend to as part of my rent, and those absolutely can be a painful and exhaustive event for me, and those around often don’t even realize and expect more as a result, and if I say I have had enough today, I am questioned, because they assume I did what I did with ease, but they have no idea of the pain and struggle I had to endure to deal with to accomplish the tasks at hand, reading has become trouble some, as world become very blurry and melt together, writing is becoming increasingly difficult, as finding the words is getting harder and harder, being creative used to help but I have been in so much pain, and under so much stress that I often cant even muster up the energy to attempt to be creative, not to mention my camera is failing, my laptop is struggling, and again no money to obtain what I actually need, I have no #healthcare because the laws people pass have really messed that up, and after years fighting to get it resolved I have given up, so I fight through each day to just to suffer the next, I reach out constantly for financial support yet receive nearly nothing compared to what I actually need, this #disable man exists in #poverty, constant pain and my #anxiety exacerbates my #ptsd, my #bipolar cycles, and several other issues, my blood pressure has been all over the place and frankly in a rather obscenely high range for to long, my core body temp has been far lower than the average, while I often feel as though I am on fire, things get darker with my sight each day, and yet to bright, I hear and see so much that is not actually there, so very much wrong and no support nor help to be found, it would really truly help if people could and would help me #fundriase the money I need each day to live, and the money I need to set up a life where I can take care of myself and lessen the effects of poverty and disability on an aging body and mind.

I am tired, I am in pain, I am hungry, and it would appear that people are far to heartless to have any compassion and help someone in need, This #disabled man living in #poverty went a week and a half with no #food again in March, and now April 2nd, I need to find a way to raise $1500 so that I can cover rent and food to eat this month, not to mention I have been in extreme pain recently only exacerbated by a very unsupportive mattress, if I could raise $2500, I can pay my rent, buy food and other basic life necessities and get a new mattress and pillows to finally get some sleep and maybe help alleviate some of my pain, I am seeking #MutualAid to #fundraise the $2500 I need, please help now, $5-10-15 It All Helps, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…

Also gerade ein Fahrradlastenanhänger bestellt bei Otto. Erste war, kein Neukundenrabatt, da beim Händler bestellt habe. Also wäre mit Guthaben da auch voll auf die Fresse geflogen. So ein Rotz hast bei Amazon nicht.

Aber es ging mit Paypal zu bezahlen, befürchte mit Lastschrift hätte bestimmt eh gescheitert, schon Bahn wollte mir kein Ticket darüber verkaufen xD

Eigentlich habe ich jetzt nur bei Otto bestellt, weil bei Amazon verschiedene Modelle zur Auswahl waren und total Käse beschriftet war, dass mir nicht ganz sicher war, dass auch der war, den ich wollte. Laut Preis wäre es der gewesen. Wenn mit #Otto verglichen habe. Bei Otto wäre auf Rechnung gegangen, aber da bin ich kein Fan von... am Ende vergesse ich das noch. Bei Amazon geht zumindest Lastschrift ohne zu meckern, aber wie gesagt, vermute nur, dass es gescheitert wäre, weil so blub und bla ähnlich bei der DB war.

#Amazon und #Paypal werde ich wohl nie löschen, da schieß ich mir nur selber ins Knie...

I see a lot of #ClosePaypal toots in my feed.

While I do realize it's not strictly necessary to have #Paypal in my life it offers one feature that I can't find anywhere else: refunds

When I buy something and the item isn't shipped or when I give money to a fraudulent service, all I have to do is open a PayPal litigation procedure and I always get the money back.

This doesn't easily happen with other forms of payments.
Do you have an alternative offering the same level of protection?
