I just got fucked over on a pair of Sennheisers (hexbear.net)

Last year someone gave me a pair of Sennheiser headphones—dead ass gave them to me. I was ballin’. I got to be a homeless person with an iPhone 12 and a pair of Sennheisers. And then my idiot friend set off a series of unfortunate events that resulted in the loss of my headphones, along with everything else I owned at the time.

So last month when this very sweet devout Christian saw a comment of mine about being a homeless drug addict, and sent me $300. I bought a new pair of Sennheisers on Mercari. I’m pretty sure it was the same model even.

I finally got around to checking my mail and—the headphones are fucked off. They won’t pair or fucking anything.

I had to fight the screaming urge to slam them on the ground.

i've read plenty of different sacred texts in my life and not one says "give alms but only if you can get a full accounting of how it was spent"

If someone asks for a cloak, give them the shirt on your back also and a QuickBooks invoice to create a paper trail

yeah you're going to want a donation receipt so you can apply for a tax deduction, that's just how you incentivize the giving of means-tested alms
