I'm about to lose my fucking shit right now. This guy committed a fucking black letter law crime against me. A fucking statute. It says in the statute that I get fucking attorney fees, a 100 fucking dollars every day until THEY STOP COMMITTING THE VIOLATION with NO written end date, so TECHNICALLY I can ask for fucking 36,500 on that alone, AND THEN you START looking at the actual damages. I CAN'T BELIEVE I ALREADY GOT TALKED DOWN TO JUST PUTTING IT IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.
2.5k seems like a lot to pay to get a few weeks of rent
It took me a few months to find a job and a place and I ended up going into debt. I had to move to another county to find a place I could afford
Have you looked at the paperwork required? Its generally not too complicated and is meant to be done by non professionals.
I have a hard time getting anything done tbh. I manage to go to work and do social reproduction and everything on top of that that would make my life better at all I just have this wall of nope I can't jump over to get started. I thought getting an attorney to do it would at least get the process going. I have like an hour of flex time on either side of a workday and then the weekend comes and I just turn off. I looked at what I need to do but then I had questions and no one to ask them to. I don't know how much to ask for. There's a limit but I can calculate damages (based on my new move in date) that exceed that. Do I write that and then sue for the max? Should I trim my wings and just ask for the damages+penalties for the first month I was out even if the violation/damages were still ongoing at that point because if he followed the law, that's how much notice I would get?
I tried looking but I couldn't find another lawyer who would even give me the time of day.
I just went through the worst, scariest period of my life so far and I'm still not really okay and the whole thing feels like it's been culminating into this moment and I just can't deal with it. Sorry for ranting.

Unless you have documentation of the former friend acknowledging the verbal agreement
The absolute fool, at the peak of his hubris, demanded in text that I pay the last month rent after he changed the locks on me. I have texts talking about me moving in and texts from him declaring that I had moved out with a window between that establishes legal residence. I have mail addressed to me there and I have carbon copies of checks that I wrote for rent. So I'm pretty sure I have the case tied up in terms of evidence.

I should have been more clear: The 2.5k is a flat fee that's inclusive of everything except appeals. A year ago I talked to legal aid and the deal there was they wouldn't give me any legal advice but they let me ask a lawyer questions for an hour phone call. When I came back to it in this last month, I couldn't find anyone willing to talk to me about doing small claims prep

I need a sanity check on this decision I'm about to make. Is it crazy to hire a lawyer for 2.5k to prepare a small claims case?
Some background: This is about that story I told a year or so ago of my former friend, and guy I was renting a room in his apartment when I was in a tight spot, declaring me moved out all at once when I took a trip to see my sick friend, thus forcing me to live in hotels for a few months while I got a job/proof of income/a new place to live. And other bad stuff that doesn't matter for this. Anyway, he probably doesn't have the 12.5k maximum small claims payout I'm going for, but I'd probably be happier garnishing his paychecks for the next few years because I'm still big mad.
I'm not doing the work for the lawsuit myself because I'm dumb and lazy and have no executive function outside of doing job. And the case centers around a verbal agreement so I don't want to mess it up. And just anxiety. But on the other hand, the only thrills I've been splurging on for the last year have been from the grocery store, and 2.5k takes more than a couple months for me to scrape together.

I listened to 
talk to/about one of these guys and they're 100% worth a netflix style documentary. Guys pull down insane money from these rallies. I imagine there has to be a lot of behind the music action going on.

 If anyone remembers if they can please help me find it again I would be totally psyched because I lost it. It needs to be the kind of place you could pretend to have done entry level IT for
I don't know what I should do and this website is basically what goes for my social support system these days, so I'd like some advice please. So I drive a very old car that until recently I didn't use much. It's from 2003 and it has less than 150k miles on it. It has a check engine light that I learned today comes from a tiny crack in the (a?) cylinder head gasket that's causing me to lose coolant. They quoted me 3-4k USD to replace it. If they said 2k I might have been able to melt my debit and credit cards at the same time MAYBE. But 4k I need a loan for. It's possible that this place is just a ripoff. I'm partially just talking this out right now so I should really get on the phone and find out if I can find something that won't break me. Part of why it seems like it might be a ripoff is that I can find the parts (according to my completely uneducated and untrained figuring) on autozone.com for like 250 bucks. Maybe I can just do it myself? Maybe my landlord has tools? Or I can rent some maybe? The guy at the car doctor said that if I wasn't going to do the repair I should probably trade it in sooner than later while it still holds value. Down this path I might really start crying about needing an adult though. A whole branching tree of decisions to make afterwards. And to bring up an added complication: part of why I don't have a solid chuck of the downpayment of a house on hand to deal with this is that I was semi-homeless up until three months ago (friday is the anniversary). A downstream complication to that is that I never received my auto registration renewal from the state of CA. And by the time I realized it was a thing I should have had to deal with already, my shit expired. I'm pretty sure they're going to make me do a smog check which requires that I don't have an engine light on. So it's extra fucked to be driving with it right now. Oh and my insurance dropped me over a dispute over late charges I refuse to pay because they didn't tell me I owed them money and sent shit to the wrong address over and over. So I guess an informal poll: A: I shop around for a mechanic that's willing to fix my cars for the clothes off my back + fill up my credit card again ( T_T ) IF I CAN FIND ONE (and if not I guess take out a loan) B: I buy the parts/find the tools and see if it's possible to do it myself, on like, a weekend. C: I throw in the towel on my car and try to find a replacement somehow despite being broke enough to be here D: Something I'm not thinking of. I fucking hate this. I hate cars. I wish I could bike. I wish I could take transit. I hate having this single point of failure in my life that can completely sweep my still shaky legs out from under me, which I just now finally got up onto. I need advice because this decision could literally be the fucking end of the world for me. Yay. edit: the specific car is a 2003 Suzuki Areio
I like podcasts more on the vegetable side of the spectrum than the candy side. This is what I've exhausted so far: The Dollop, Citations Needed, 5 - 4, Revolutions, Blowback, The History of Rome, The Audit, Hardcore History Should I go back to Robert Fedvans and the Belling Cat Bad Guys Show with 3 ad breaks an hour? I don't want to listen to audiobooks outside of my commute because I'm way too distracted. All day I'm remembering 3-5 digit numbers while scanning through other numbers to find the matching ones. I need something interesting that I can zone in and out of

Today I moved into my first stable housing since October 4th. On that date I returned from a trip to visit a friend whom I had just learned had advanced cancer. My then roommate and close friend for two decades took the opportunity to declare that I had moved out. When I tried to come back I was shouted out with threats of calling the police and having the locks changed on me. The day before I left, I had explained why I was in such emotional distress by explaining the situation with my friend and my relationship with him. In the process I came out as bisexual. In hindsight this seems like the reason he acted so viciously towards me. I left my cats in his care while I was on my trip; he repeatedly threatened me with sending them to a pound (and then when I told him I had flagged them and he would be arrested if he tried it) or just releasing them outside. He dumped my possessions next to a dumpster and told me I had two hours to collect them. When I came for my cats he stuffed them into cardboard boxes and taped them shut with no air holes. Since then I've been living in hotel rooms. I picked up a job as an amazon delivery driver. And even working full time only slowed down the rate at which my savings was getting eaten up. Finally I found this place, 30-60 minutes away from my work and willing to let me keep my cats. Because of the generosity of one of our comrades here "C" coming through with a couple very timely loans, I managed to keep my cats and keep from sleeping in my car all the way to now. I'm broke, in debt to multiple sources, but I managed to keep from being outside. And I managed to keep my family together, even if it's only cats at this point. The story doesn't end here. I have a civil rights complaint that was accepted by the state's civil rights department. I'm going to bring a civil action against my old friend as soon as I have the money saved up for a lawyer. I'm going to finish studying for my certification and find a job in IT before/after I'm done with that. But the part of the story where my existential security is at question is now mainly over.

A group of 84 workers at Amazon's warehouse in Palmdale, California, won voluntary recognition by Battle-Tested Strategies, a third-party delivery contractor, to be represented by the Teamsters. Battle-Tested Strategies is one of the legions of third-party delivery firms contracted by Amazon to shuttle packages to shoppers' doorsteps. "We want fair pay and safe jobs, to be able to provide food for our families," said Rajpal Singh, an Amazon delivery driver at the Palmdale facility, in a statement. "We want to know we will make it home to our families at night after delivering Amazon packages in the extreme heat. We organized with the Teamsters to change our working conditions for the better." Amazon said in a statement that it had terminated Battle-Tested before Monday's union announcement, though it didn't say when the contract ended.
Let's say you have two cats and you'd rather go homeless than them. I'm not even sure it would open up my search to include anywhere I'd be able to afford.
