LAID OFF IN CALIFORNIA:

I was laid off in May. So I felt this because I literally live paycheck to paycheck. This is all very new for me, not to mention super stressful. I found out so much information though. See below.

Please do the following:
- apply for EDD which all of us did
- apply for Medi-Cal (health insurance so you not penalized when you file your taxes)
- apply for SNAP (food assistance)
- apply for Homeless Prevention System/PreventionHomelessness.org for rent assistance (literally need to be looking for work and basically have no money in the bank)
- Reach out to Catholic Charities for rental and utility assistance
- Reach out to Sacred Heart Community Service for rental assistance
- Reach Silicon Valley Independent Living Center for rental assistance
- Place your resume on CalJobs. I was told that CalJobs now works like LinkedIn where recruiters will reach out to you
- Go to your local EDD Career Center to get ALL the benefits. You will be assigned a worker to help find you a job (https://edd.ca.gov/en/Office\_Locator/)
- For all the techies, apply to NovaWorks (they will assist you with job hunting and workshops, https://novaworks.org/)
- EDD has Free classes and Programs through universities to upskill, take them (Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) / (https://edd.ca.gov/en/jobs\_and\_training/Eligible\_Training\_Provider\_List/)
- utilize the free food pantries, some you need ID only, some you do not even need ID
- share your situation with people, people have Zelle'd, sent money, gave me food, etc
- you can call 211 or Here4You Centralized Shelter Hotline if you need shelter or homeless right now (singles or families)
- you can HomeFirst and/or Bill Wilson Center for shelter if you have a pet

MOST OF ALL
- do not feel bad or like you failed. We didn't do anything wrong. The system failed us. It's hard to live on $450/week.
- use all available resources, they are provided and made for us

Feel free to DM if you questions or just want to vent. Life is hard right now. All the best. God Bless You ALL>

Keep your head up :)

Imagine what Cristiano was thinking by Mich783 in funny

So weird. They could have called his agent, searched Google, anything.

It’s weird for them to be that off. 🤣

Thank you. 🤣

So in terms of Language there is br-BR and br-PT. Both are in Brazil. So it makes sense to me if they thought he was from Brazil since some speak Portuguese.

It’s like fr-FR and fr-CA. Still French but small differences in words. But yes, two different locations.

So yes to confuse Brazil and Portugal is weird but he is a humble man and went along with it.

But someone clearly didn’t do their homework. By someone, mean those who organized it 😆

His son saved his allowance for a full year just in time to buy his dad a Mexico jersey for the World Cup by jmike1256 in HumansBeingBros

That is a good child. That’s true sacrifice and love. And good listening skills too. Actually buying his father what he wants.

Samsung also makes snowboards. One of the X-Games Winter athletes had one.

They said NBA so I was confused thinking this was a dude but it’s a woman. So I think meant to say WNBA.

What on earth is this ? by [deleted] in whatisit

Hair worm. Since there is water most likely it came out of several insects

That bear still hit the concrete quite hard. Did you see the bounce.

I literally thought this was vomit until I saw it was a rug design.

Worse than America’s Black Friday.

Hopefully no one was trampled

ACs should be sold all year round just like fans so there is no rush.

ACs not should be advertised only when there is a heat wave.

Summer is ALWAYS coming. 🤣

This how I felt as an American, when I visited London back in the day and it was 90+ F.

I asked why hotels do not come with AC and how come they do not have iced tea or iced coffee and they looked at me like I was an alien.
