Fair enough, but inquiring minds want to know...Have you "reconciled" with your parents or are you "on your own"? 

I guess you can say that they still think I'm crazy for having different beliefs but I'm still with them

In my entire life I have never run across someone who claimed to apply to as many places as you have, yet still can't find a full time job.

 

That's true.

Thoughts

 

Give away that box of dollar comics

 

List and sell my copies of FF53

 

Stock photo and almost double GPA. Seems like a reasonable strategy.

 

Where you living March 1st or is that off the table too? (Moving south would be a good benefit to everyone)

 

Yeah I'll be changing the stock photo soon but as for the moving that up to what my parents decide.

 

 

OR, here's a thought: How about getting off of your lazy rear end, get a full time job and move out on your own? Then you can trumpet your views from the rooftop if you want to, and at least no one can kick you out of your home for it.

 

I still would be able to be kicked out since I wouldn't own the house and as for hours I'm applying to different places.

 

 

Is there anything that you don't have an excuse for? If you had a dollar for every place that you say you've applied to you wouldn't need a job, because you'd be a millionaire.

What excuse? I said I applied to different places so that I can find a job with more hours.

You say you don't about what I post and yet every chance you say my posts are bigoted,sexist and other types of ists of isims. That's how you view the truth and you have seen the truth in front of your eyes yet you deny what you see.

 

I won't rip anyone off because I said I wouldn't do it and my financial situation is lacking but that's fine. The RFID chip is dangerous in more way then one and they are pushing this chip in every way you can imagine and that comes straight from the companies themselves. Also it's not a healthy thing to put inside yourself.

 

For the situation with my parents it wasn't a miracle but it's something I didn't except and because they needed money they changed their minds about me getting kicked out and I said that I'll stay if you stop bothering me about what I support because as far as they know they think I'm crazy.

 

I would hate to see my kids lose their minds and not be able to do anything for them. You truly need some help Gabe.

Thanks for your concern about my mental health but other then my learning disability and some physical stuff I'm fine. I find it ironic how people think others are crazy when having a different opinion then their own and since people don't want to talk about anything other then comics and stuff like that then I won't.

Reported this. I hope this closes. This is a cancerous thread, from someone who wants advice but doesn't listen or make any positive changes.

 

It's just attention seeking that has derailed from its original topic. Comics.

 

Best of luck but until you eat your humble pie, realise nobody owes you anything and that if you want to achieve goals you have to play the rules.

This thread has derailed a bit but it's my journal and if I feel I need to say something I say it. Also I don't remember saying that someone owes me anything except for once or twice when I was talking about a job.

 

Letgo/Offer up are just like kijiji/craigslist...guess what do you really think everyone listing there is using an app? Nope didn't think so.

 

https://ca.letgo.com/en/scq/ontario/niagara-falls/comic

https://offerupnow.com/search/?q=comic&radius=10

Man you have been busy...no comics in Niagara falls. Seems like BOTH websites are a waste of time, subsequently a waste of you buying a phone.

 

 

 

I tried Letgo and Offerup and using the website didn't work for me.

 

Feel free to comment on that as well. Waste of time.

Comics aren't the only thing that I buy so no it's not a waste of time.

.. like I want to get a strike here? .. no thank you. Besides, if you're not that bothered JL .. Scroll past.

 

Telling people to PM you stuff for things you would get a strike for if you posted it publicly should get you the same punishment. I didn't open this can of worms and honestly I have no idea what you're talking about.

 

Its clearly politics and if you're telling people that they shouldn't post here or engage Gabe based on his political or religious beliefs than yeah, you deserve a strike.

 

Is it that hard not to personally attack someone on the boards? no.

 

Says the boards' moral authority Jimmy Linguini, the kid who once yelled an obscene sentence to a female reporter on live television. Thanks for your insight. I wouldn't expect you to recognize something objectionable.

 

Jimmy Linguini... Now, this got interesting. Where did he do that?

 

See? This is proving my point. Which BTW I LOVE.

 

You can't attack cgc board members for things they say or do outside of the CGC board without it being deemed a personal attack.

 

This is gabes journal and you can't say "DM ME SO YOU CAN KNOW THE TRUTH" and not be personally attacking someone.

 

An individual's character is based on all their public conduct and is relevant to any potential on board sales.

 

Is that how moderation on the boards works? No.

 

Gabe opened up this can of worms when he decided to share EVERY ASPECT of his life in here seeking advice. This journal isn't even about comics anymore, and to be perfectly honest, probably has no business on this forum.

 

Gabe clearly has issues but he has been honest about them to a point. We've discovered he's on disability for something, he can't work and his parents get money from the government for letting him stay there.

 

But he wants to run a comic business. Fine. Crapping on that is a personal attack and saying in a public forum that you shouldn't buy off of him based on his opinions or beliefs is against the moderation rules of this forum.

 

We should all forget that though because he offended you guys.

 

Get real.

 

This is a very interesting "morale stance" to take all things considered.

 

This is not all about "offending or attacking someone" - Every person on these boards have probably been offended and/or attacked by one person or another but that does not raise red flags for the broader community that they may not want to deal with them. The board is FILLED with conflicting personalities. This is a little different.

 

A few reasons why people may not want to buy from or sell to him...

 

1) Gabe is on very, very shaky financial footing. By his own admission he was nearly kicked out over Christmas yet by some "miracle" he was allowed to stay and a good thing too as he had zero fallback plan. I know Gabe has claimed he would never "rip anyone off" and I believe he believes this, but his lack of motivation and/or caring about securing his financial well being is troubling on a number of fronts. I am not saying only buy from people who are "financially secure" but this is a person who willingly admitted he spent government money he knew was not his but because "he had no choice" or some other such excuse, spent it anyway. What's to stop him from doing that with customers money and/or not being able to ship books if his situation does not improve when the next crisis roles along?

 

2) I don't care if someone has political and religious views that differ from my own. However, if someone shares and makes bigoted, racists, sexist and otherwise offensive comments, yeah I care. Honestly, have you looked at the amount and what kind of he has on there? I'm just not going to knowingly support a person like that, whether they have "cool books" or not. I imagine I am not alone in this view.

 

3) It seems to me that there has been a sharp increase in religious "end of the world" style posts and the whole RFID chip thing of late. They seemed to start right around when he announced he was allegedly getting the boot from his parents place. Religious views are one thing but things are going full on doomsday cult. To me (and I am not a trained professional) added with everything else, does not make me think he is particularly stable on several fronts.

 

I am not suggesting he be put on the PL or HOS list but he used this very journal to "promote" himself, the good and the bad - This is the result.

 

At first I wanted to help the guy, then I got angry and annoyed with the guy and now I'm genuinely concerned, that despite what he says, there is more going on than a learning issue. Or maybe he is just simply not the type of person I would want to associate or do business with. Regardless, there is nothing more I can say or do so I am officially out and I hope Gabe gets some help and gets his life on track.

You say you don't about what I post and yet every chance you say my posts are bigoted,sexist and other types of ists of isims. That's how you view the truth and you have seen the truth in front of your eyes yet you deny what you see.

It is sad to say this, but the evidence of your actions point to a long and hard road of poverty, not success, unless you change your outlook and demeanor.

Yes that's true.

Good thing you got lots of money to buy new cell phones.

 

Only one and it's an investment.

 

Ya you've tried to justify it so you can "respond quicker to ebayers". Seeing as how you need wifi you won't be responding while working will you? If so why are you responding during work and not working? If not do you think it makes much difference if you respond at say 5pm when you get home from work and check your emails and once at 11pm when you go to bed?

 

How many questions/responses in a month do you get on ebay? Seeing how you haven't sold anything since Oct 22nd I don't think response time is your issue. You can continue to try and justify the spending though

 

No I won't carry it to work with me but there are about five of six apps that you can sell only by using their mobile versions because I've tried otherwise and it didn't work.

 

Which "apps"

 

Ebay, Letgo, Instagram, XE currency converter, Kitco, Offer up,

 

short of IG the only reason you can't use the other ones is cause your trying to justify using a phone.

 

I don't try to justify anything but I tried to sell things and that would only happen if I have the apps.

 

Seriously why is that the case that you need a phone with the apps?

 

http://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=1&From=USD&To=CAD

 

Hmm looks like the exchange rate is 1.32441 at the time of this post.

 

Kitco is the same thing.

 

Ebay...Seriously??? You can't tell me that every person using it is using a phone + an app.

 

Letgo/Offer up are just like kijiji/craigslist...guess what do you really think everyone listing there is using an app? Nope didn't think so.

Gabe are you still at your parents house or did you move out? I thought you had an end of month timeline. .

 

If we all mutually agree to ignore this thread, will it go away?

 

I'll start.

 

I would hazard a guess that he is still at his parents place as he has been busy posting about the "end of the world" and sharing other not so nice things on his Facebook Page. About 8 posts in the last 24 hours.

 

...I think Gabe is starting to go "down the rabbit hole" on top of his "other issues".

 

 

 

Yes I'm still at my parents and the "not so nice things" are the truth of what's going to happen whether you believe it or not.

 

.. would you mind posting a link to your Facebook Page?

 

No because you want to use it for the wrong reasons with the fact that you disagree what I support and think I'm unstable. I have a learning disability nothing more.

 

I think most rational-thinking people would disagree with what you support, Gabe. However, I sincerely hope you get the Professional support that you clearly need. Bye, Gabe.

Thank you. These are the type of posts I like to see, we may not agree but we can respectfully disagree.

.. like I want to get a strike here? .. no thank you. Besides, if you're not that bothered JL .. Scroll past.

That was on the basis that I thought people would be mature enough to handle a different opinion then their own.

I hide nothing but if you want to use it for attacking me because you disagree with my views then I refuse. Time and again I've been attacked for having different views then yourselves. I have never scammed anyone and never will.

Okay. Enough's enough.

 

There are some important things people should know about Gabe that he has posted on his PUBLIC facebook page.

 

I feel it is important for everyone to know what he has shared PUBLICLY so they can determine if this is a person who is deserving of any help.

 

I will not be posting anything here.

 

As some can't find Gabe's page, please feel free to PM me and then you can make up your own minds.

PM sent

Since you think the world is going to end any day now, why bother trying to flip your comics?

 

That's a good question. Guess he has to pay the cell phone bill until the rapture.

I don't pay a cell phone bill

Since you think the world is going to end any day now, why bother trying to flip your comics?

I still need to put in effort to sell it as many people don't share the same view as I do.

Would you mind sharing?

 

I just gave some advice, if it's not going to be listened to and this is just a waste of my time, please let me know.

Sharing what? My fb page?

Gabe are you still at your parents house or did you move out? I thought you had an end of month timeline. .

 

I'm still here but like I said they changed their minds when they needed money and I said that I'm firm with my beliefs and either you agree or kick me out.

 

I've never even considered that I had to share a belief system with my Landlord....

They are my landlords however they still treat me as their son.
