[ASK] Some Question
10 years ago
General
Good day everyone, alchemist werewolf here~
Hello, Im kinda had a... conflict lately. Mostly because of jealous and stupidity. But I really want to talk something, so I hope you wouldn't mind of reading some gossip or deep conversation.
I noticed one of my local artist got his stuff broken and he uses it to work and to draw. He ranting about his friends that had the same thing, but since they were rich, his friends bought another the same expensive stuff. And so, he wanted a help for donation so he can get back to work and draw again. He said that he hasn't many friends to borrow the stuff and he already went out from his parents by himself. In a few days, he asked and chatted many group chats and journals in here and there, which made him got overfunded (I heard it had already hit 1000 USD) and counting. He was grateful and everyone was touched. Happy Ending.
The thing is... this guy did the same long time ago, with almost similar reason. Which made him looks like the most suffering people in the world. Even my friend that hardly give money was donated a big sum of it.
And so, I'm thinking again... there was a time of my company was almost went bankrupt and we almost sold our properties to clear our debt, my laptop that I had with all of both my college and drawing stuff inside broke so I have to start over and took five years to buy new laptop and computer, and even I had to rarily eat for almost two years so I can buy bamboo tablet. While I could get all of them in less than a week via donations.
In other side, I like how ppls still care about each other, but in other side, is ppl really prefer to give a donation to someone that they didn't know rather than those who really need the money which was a closer friend? (I had this once and kinda got mad)
So the Question is: If my tablet or laptop broke so I can't draw anymore and I had already away from my parents, would you like to donate and how much you would be?
!! NOTICE !! I'm not asking for donation, this is just a QUESTION. So don't give me any money except if you're in the commission slot. I don't accept charity. No, I am not that rich, but I can make the money via the commission and it is enough for me to live.
I will wait for the answer. Sorry if you see me as a stupid or unstable guy who get jealous, but yeah, I do jealous. Why I have to do anything in years while I could get more in few weeks? Who wouldn't get jealous?
Anyway, I hope this wouldn't make anything bad impression to me, I just... don't know who I have to talk with. I hope you're understand. I'm in a borrowed time.
Love you alwaysin my dungeon

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME FUN
No offense, but no money from me
No worries XD thanks for the information~
And it go against my principles. If you want money, work for it. I will give you my money WHEN I GET A COMISSION from you. never trhough donation.
AGREED! We life to work! Not to laid back!
Lame that I also don't have money and need to find work to buy something right now =P
Heheh no worries and good luck~ I hope you'll get what you want~
and thanks =)
Kinda tempting, but I somehow don't feel like to get money from free ;/
Except if I had done something good and I deserve it XD
Thanks for the information~
I had read some ppl. Sometime I do donate. But mostly, I found something that seems off which preventing me from donating. I don't know, maybe I am too sensitive. I usually get avoided from something tricky. Somehow.
But thanks for your encouragement. That is something that I need now. Thankies again~
And yeah. Im not used to ask for help and got stuck or something worse without other knowing. But I have a good luck of getting out from it so no one knows it as well XD
Alright, thankies for the answers~ Appreciated it much~
Unfortunately, I also don't have so much money myself >w<! I have $15 that I saved from my last comissions, it's not much but it's all that I have to help you if you need it >w<!
And you don't have to do that, Im just asking, but doesn't mean I need it XD. But thanks for the offer though.
Friends are one thing, there are already well known charities I can donate to for helping others be it with living like the Red Cross and food banks, legal stuff pro-bono and issue specific charities like the EFF, etc.
Situations like the one you mentioned makes me wonder if the equipment was broken from carelessness. Sometimes people are careless with money, items they didn't earn themselves. Giving them more of the same is just going to keep the cycle going (especially with the way computers become obsolete so quickly leading to *cough elbow jab snicker* "breakage".
Just my two cents.
Im not sure. That's why I don't do anything. Maybe because carelessness, maybe because other else? He just say it was broken and that's that. Which is kinda off with me. I mean, he did that in public instead in private. It was like he didn't do that because he had no other way, but he simply already planned to do that ;/
And thank you for the information XD
Talking for myself only, I don't earn much money these last days, so I wouldn't be able to give more than 10 - 15$, that's not a lot, but much better than nothing. When you call for donation, every single donation is important. Start a massive donation call and if you get 1000 people to give 1$, then you get 1 000$.
The most important in a donation call is to touch as much people as possible, not the amount of money donated by a person.
if they ever got in money problems. I be there 100% to help- them
if an random person I do not know. that means nothing to me. or do not make art I have interest in.
I wont be so generous I might give 5$ if one of my other friends, say this person need help
And thanks for the information~
And you welcome
In all honesty I actually tend to donate to people I know over complete strangers, of course it depends ont he situation, so while I cant spare much, yes I would
Alright, thank you for the information~
But thanks for the information~
...can't put an accurate figure on it though. But whatever you need, I'll do everything to get it for you my friend.
And no worries, thanks for the information~
Just kidding. Yeah I need them, but doesn't mean it was really emergency or something. Just an usual work :3
There is just one thing that's bugging me. I know that things can break and I don't have one for myself and I don't know so much in that field, but how easily can a tablet or what not break, if you don't clobber it on purpose.
And thanks for the information~
What if like this? Get so many money, and I will going to... keep both your money and you for VIP room in my factory... hehe
Hmm... in this case I would be a more as happy dragon. I would be happy about helped you with some money support and I would be happy about being "guest" of your VIP room, hehehe.
Not guest, I bet you will going to love to live there that you didn't even want to go out anymore X3
Ohh! Hehe, I'm not used to your VIP room so far, but I'm sure you have it very comfortable there and make me eager to stay. It definitely tempts me a lot.
"Equivalent exchange."
It's like, if you expect someone to do something for you, you have to let them expect something from you in return.
Just question your pride and dignity mister, will you be happy if you depend on others' hard work solely for your own sake?
Of course you can still depend on them if they're willing, but please make sure that you give those generous, kind people some appreciation they deserve.
Because some people feel grateful by helping someone be happy.
We are happy to help as much as we can if you need our helping to reach another level of awesomeness.
cuma ya gitu, sama sama keterbatasan dana untuk stuff jadi.. c:
