  1. I should probably post an update on Tumblr about the whole roommate stuff. Also I'm kind of debating whether I should let people send money on PayPal or something. I mean I don't really need it, but I guess it might be nice for people that really feel like they need to do /something/ to help me out. I don't know.

    1. @neuraria Inform them that your situation is a lot less dire than it was before, but keep the PayPal button up.

      1. @mrmattimation I don't have a button up. I'm wondering whether I should have something there for people who want to help in some way.

    2. @sprite I'm pretty sure that nobody has ever been prosecuted for internet begging.

    3. @sprite Would it help if I included something that said what the money would be used for?

    4. @sprite 2/3rds of Tumblrs economy is comprised of people begging for money.

    5. @oracle It's more like "My car/dog/wife broke down and I lost my job and my rent is due next week pls send money SIGNAL BOOST SIGNAL BOOST"

      1. @ceruleanspark Who are you following to have those sorts of posts show up? I've never seen one of those at all

        1. @scoot It's usually a reblog of a reblog tagged with the phrase "signal boost" 8000 times.

          1. @ceruleanspark Yeah but I've never seen one of them

      2. @ceruleanspark Oh, so I'm not the only one who gets cynical about that.

        1. @scribus I figure if you're having to beg for money to cover "unexpected expenses" multiple months in sequence, your problem is not your expenses.

      3. @ceruleanspark Sometimes it looks like "I'm bad at managing my money so give me money to handle my current problem."
