I’m in an illegal weed state but somehow these fuckers can make delta 9 THC out of hemp and turn them into gummies with cbd and delta 9 thc that get you high as fuck and it’s legal.

My dad works from home and is an alcoholic. He's drunk every day from 8am to whenever he passes out at night. He hides the fact he drinks by saying he's going to Wawa or something but we can track the Volvo he drives and he's always going to the liquor store.
Recently he's become extremely abusive towards my brother and my mom. I've given him so many opportunities to admit he's drinking or to ask for help but he always chooses to lie instead, promising he isn't drinking and isn't abusive. He's always sort of been an alcoholic, but after covid everything got so much worse.
I've tried to take away his keys after catching him drunk driving a few times but it just ended with him beating up my brother. Recently my mom told him she's considering divorce, so when me and my brother were out of the house he let the dogs outside (so they wouldn't bark) and why up to where she was sleeping and hit her and pinned her down while yelling at her.
I've tried every possible way to help him, I've offered therapists, I've offered to be a therapist, I've offered group counseling, I've offered help from his brother (a former alcoholic) and he always denies it all.
From the bottom of my heart, don't drink. He literally can't quit even if he wanted to, and his liver is already failing him (he's 57). I know this is probably some joke post, but for the sake of having anyone listen to this, do not form a habit of day drinking. I'm 23 and I can't move out until I know I can also secure a living place for my mom and brother. I'm trapped here until then, and it's a very real and daily pain.

Yeah we had a fight after that happened, but the problem with fighting a wfh alcoholic is he is extremely vindictive and has tons of free time.
He tagged my room while I was at work, found my personal safe key and made a copy. Then told me if I changed the lock he would throw the safe into a pond.

Doing the bare minimum is usually a based strategy but it can quickly backfire when we are headed into an economic downturn. Execs tend to get very creative when they enter survival mode and have to start trimming the fat. A lot of people have gotten complacent and assume they will be able to get a new job in their field. Meanwhile only 13 years ago we had highly educated and experienced people competing for bottom tier jobs just so they could pay their bills because everywhere else had hiring freezes

i make slightly more than you at $55k, i live in NYC and my rent is $1030 + $80‐$100 in utilities (sharing with roomies ). but we have a backyard and basement, FIOS, only occasional pest. granted i have no family but you have to find a place that's cheaper. i moved around a lot until i found my current place and stayed an average of 1.5 years the past 6 years or so. spent a good 2-3 years living with parents before that.

i want to say i lucked out but if you keep making the effort to move you'll find a place. i'm living near the hood (brownville) but police make patrols often enough on my street. it's so peaceful and quiet, it feels like i retired. i'm actually really bored, i'm used to more rowdy places and room mates.

i spent a significant part of my life being rentpoor (incl. chuldhood), and just constantly reducing spending and looking for better places to live. i've seen a lot of people barely putting effort into aligning their lifestyles to fit their incomes. bruh, landlords are scum but you're also lazy and hooked on instant gratification coomsuming. maybe i'm just old and bitter but i find it hard to sympathize with 99% of people that exist to coomsume and bitch and moan about cost of living.
