How do I best help feed my roommate/tenant without offending him? Or should I just let him suffer?
>He got laid off in January >Was already in debt >Didn't use his unemployment intelligently >Ordered in delivery pizza & chicken, bought some games & toys >Know he's in such dire straits that he hasn't paid his car insurance and his bank account is in the negative >Has a temp job but it's not paying much >Noticed he's been taking my frozen dinners from the fridge >I don't care much but they're only like 300 calories from a diet I was on and he's clearly not getting enough food
I want to help out and make sure he's not starving so he can go get a real job. But I don't want to give him $50 and have him end up buying 3 days of pizzas, then being hungry again. Is there a tactful way to say "yo dude, go buy some rice, beans, and chicken breasts, but nothing else?"
i'm posting this here because he's a hardcore leftist
>he's a hardcore leftist If you give a mouse a cookie...
Austin Garcia
Start putting more nutritious frozen dinners in the fridge obviously.
Daniel Clark
You should confront him about the theft, that will give you the moral high ground. If he gets aggressive, fuck him. If he is apologetic offer him help in the most sincere way you can. Don't be condescending. Don't tell him what to buy he is an "adult" and can make his own decisions. If he wastes it on pizza don't give him more.
Brandon Lee
So do you pay all of your room mates bills?
What do you get out of this arrangement?
Sebastian Gomez
That's the brilliance of the plan, he will never see it coming.
Ayden Lee
Its fine to be a good friend, but there may come a time, if you let these behaviors continue, that he will start expecting the handouts. Call it a learned behavior.
Jack Williams
Your boyfriend treats you like garbage. You must leave him and find an anus that respects you. >Roommate? The fuck is wrong with you!

OP if you want honest advice, kick the fucker out.
He's a leftist. They have to learn from cold, hard experience to have any real meaningful change. You enabling him today will devastate him tomorrow.
Blake Morgan
put capsaicin powder into tv dinners ??? profit
William Hernandez
>i'm posting this here because he's a hardcore leftist Tell him to ask Bernie for help. But seriously, why doesn't he have an EBT card?
Benjamin Campbell
Tell him you'll buy him food if he does chores and errands. If he can pick up a girl for you to fuck, take him to a buffet.
Kayden Miller
Permanent marker and some cardboard. {will be a nigger if you can help}
Aiden Rivera
Start buying more expensive food and when he steal it kick him out
Lincoln Stewart
Get him to perform sexual acts for money

Carson Torres
This. Feed a man a fish and he'll eat for the day. Teach a man to fish and he'll either drown or learn to fish for life.
Either way, problem solved.
Kayden Gray

Bentley Morris
he applied for ebt and said he was denied. I asked how he could be denied for that and he said it's because he's korean. I don't know what he means
David Howard
if he keeps stealing your food, start stealing some of his stuff like his video games and toys.
also, fill the fridge/freezer with nothing but healthy food so he has no choice but to eat it.
Christopher Lopez
Most you could do is just start cooking for yourself and him. It's hard to decline homemade food, especially from a friend. I was in a similar situation and it either boils down to you buying them food or you cook it for them. It's cheaper and easier to cook yourself.
Landon Hernandez
You must buy him some sustenance, take care of him.... FOR GOD SAKES KEEP THIS HONORABLE AND RESPONSIBLE AMERICAN ALIVE!!!!
Lincoln Russell
Make dinner but cook extra. Offer him the leftover.
Isaiah Gonzalez
Turn him into a trap and sell that boypussy, also fuck him.
Hunter Turner
>he's a hardcore leftist Let him starve. You're not running a fucking charity.
Benjamin Gutierrez
potatos, beans, rice, fruit all these things are so cheep its epic
Owen Mitchell
>also fuck him
Christian Morales
You can live well on boiled potato and butter. Cheap and healthy.
James Gutierrez
>Is there a tactful way to say "yo dude, go buy some rice, beans, and chicken breasts, but nothing else?" Yes, tell him "you're broke and you need to buy some rice, beans, and chicken breasts, I don't even know how you can afford rent let alone feed yourself." Tough love is needed sometimes.
Hunter Price
Call ICE
Levi Hughes
start cooking meals, stop buying frozen dinners.
Liam Thomas
be honest, user.
Alexander Moore
Offer to buy ingredients for food if he is willing to share in some of the cooking obligations. Stop buying TV dinners, they aren't good for either of you anyways.
Joseph Green
It sounds like he's super depressed, but I realise this a cultural issue Maybe buy excess food and offer it to him that way.
Charles Carter
maybe i'll just do that. he's actually illegal and overstayed his visa
thanks guys
Andrew Cooper
It's true. Koreans are not allowed to be on EBT.
Dylan Jenkins
Is he an illegal? If so, there are also food banks. You can go look some up online, pick up food, and just let him take what he needs.
But if he is illegal, he should be sent home.
Hunter Richardson
Her* im sorry. Plz forgive.
Luis Barnes
Is he a qt?
Ayden Ross
But him a gift card to the grocery store, most grocery stores allow you to do this
Noah Russell
bump pls help
Tyler Wright
>hardcore leftist Let him starve.
Ryan Butler
Cook rice, beans, and chicken breasts. Only have raw food. If it starts going missing, it means he can cook. Now he makes you dinner in exchange for his food. Now you can be gay together. Fucking faggots.
Logan Davis
Spaghetti costs nothing to make. Garlic bread and these cornfritter things at walmart are cheap too. Chop up a pepper and some mushrooms into the sauce, and you're literally just offering him what would be your leftovers for tomorrow at the cost of only pennies. Tell him you usually throw leftovers away and would rather he eat them. Guys will turn down someone else going to any trouble for them, but if the food is fresh and in front of them they won't resist. Don't forget hot sauce and parmesan.
Jace Ward
>roommate Is he paying rent and bills? If he's not eating that is a concern because you'll get that speech come the first. If you wanna be charitable that's virtuous, but you'll end up resenting him when he owes you hundreds of dollars.
As far as the diet, thats a question. Buy him a 10# bag of rice, a family pack of ckn leg quarters, and 2 loaves of bread. Thats healthy and cheap.
How smart is this korean fellow? I've found that the less intelligent/underperforming 2nd gen asians over here are pretty much suicidal. Their parents beat them into straight A's, but if the kids too dumb to cut it they just snap.
Oliver Ward
It meant he didn't apply. We have laws against racial discrimination. Can't tell if you're larping.
Nathan Lee
Just tell him as a good christian you expect your friends to help you when you are down, and in turn, you help your friends when they are down.
If he's too proud for that, ask him if he'll allow you to loan him X dollars a month and he can pack it back whenever he's back on his feet.
Gavin Johnson

Isaiah Cooper
Why would you room up with an illegal, were you that desperate? I agree with ICE. His VISA is expired. I'm a very nice, generous person, so I would probably be reluctant to do as I'm saying.. But you can't really help the guy. Send him home.

Easton Barnes
This or the rice and beans cook way too much have it for dinner one night yourself then tell him you dont want it anymore he can finish it
Hunter Garcia
I let him stay with me because he consistently pays me 5,000 dollars in rent every month. his legal status was an issue but I let it slide because the money was too good
Samuel Phillips
Just feed him semen direct from the source. It's high in protein and he'll be very grateful to you. Better still, you'll end up with your own personal twink cum slave, ready to give you sexual release whenever you need it. Sounds like a win-win to me! You can give him a lecture about meritocracy every time after you've cum too, letting him know that he's the cum guzzler because he failed in life.
Cooper Hernandez
Make him give you a bj
Blake Hughes
If you're going to help him out with cash tell him "go buy some rice beans and chicken breasts with this"
Gavin Powell
offer to give her bowls of rice if she sucks your dick, thats what I do with my mexican housekeeper, otherwise its back to el paso amigo

Rice and potted meat and or chicken "quarters". It's literally body builder tier sustenance and it cost almost nothing. The potted meat looks like shit in the can but it tastes like God's vagina when fried or baked. Search Results The Whole Chicken Leg is the drumstick-thigh combination. The whole leg differs from the leg quarter in that id does not contain a portion of the back. Boneless, Skinless Leg. Whole chicken leg with skin and bone removed. ... The thigh is the portion of the leg above the knee joint. Just get it with the bones left in and it is ridiculously cheap because no one wants to de-bone chicken.
Christopher Young
>he consistently pays me 5,000 dollars in rent every month and thats the point where the thread jumped the shark, you had believing this was real for a while there OP.
Jordan Collins
Wtf ??? You get 19 months of unemployment.... sure it's money you payed into but if he hasnt been able to feed himself in that time why do you feel it necessary to take food out of your mouth to do so?
Daniel Lopez
Guys he's a JEWISH Korean. Does that change things?
Luis Richardson
you're going around to all the threads you can fagshitposting, aren't you?
Caleb Jenkins
>he consistently pays me 5,000 dollars in rent every month Jew York or HellA because that is more than 3 times what rent is in normal America.

5,000 dollars in rent? Wtf do you live in a 3 million dollar house?

I used to cook a lot for my room mates until they became cunts. Quesadillas are easy too and use some of the same ingredients as spaghetti sauce add ons (red onion & pepper) so you can do a lot of prep cooking (just chopping peps and onion) and keep all the veggies in bags to cook fresh meals throughout the week. Quesadillas are delicious.

keep buying cheap food like peanut butter/banana sandwiches and rice quesodillas or something and tell him he can help himself.
Matthew Martin
you have a left wing Korean freeloader who is stealing your food? I'd laugh at you if I thought this was real. 1/10
Samuel Lee
Follow the Lord's advice. Be charitable in all things, but that is not to say be weak. Give him money, on condition - help try to find him a better job, make him use it on good food, and make him go to church. For the next two weeks, don't browse Sup Forums, instead, use the time to browse job sites. Teach the man to fish. Don't be afraid of telling him to spend it smart - a man who you save will not begrudge you for being a bit assertive. Through all things, aknowledge that it is our Lord Jesus who is leading you to help him, and take him to church. Again, if you save his life, he will be willing to follow your heed. Through these steps, you will save your own soul by following the teachings of Christ, and may well save another from both temporary death and eternal damnation.
Brody Robinson
rice, beans, and eggs. buy a rice cooker
Parker Hill
Confirmed. OP is a faggot
Joshua Ramirez
An illegal Korean working a temp job is paying you 5,000 a month and eating your banquet TV dinners in your freezer? I'm not a detective, but this story isn't adding up.
Camden Baker
Start buying hungry mans instead. They are much more food than a teeny banquet meal.
Ryder Mitchell
1200 calories isn't bad for a day.
Maybe ask if he's like some pasta (just randomly make it). More carbs will be more calories, not the best, but will at least help.
The military is an alternative. Get in shape.
Hug him or something. Idk.
Jeremiah Cook
just be upfront with him and say you can help him out but he needs to use the money efficiently and not on junk. its great that you want to help him even though he's been sneaking your food.
Joshua Rodriguez
Thanks. I missed that one. >got unemployment >has temp job >steals microwave meals, but pays silicone valley rent LARP thread confirmed

For the euros, that is about x8 normal "single person" rent in the US.

Jeremiah Ross
Three grand a month with shared facilities? You should be offering a 24hr complimentary buffet you fucking jew
Noah Perry
I think this is shitposting. However. Real life scenario if dude was still paying rent and trying to get ahead I'd be like dude don't worry about it I'll get food for the next couple months, we can cook meals at home. If he's a decent guy, he'd stock shit up when he can afford to, if not whatever. 300 dollars in groceries isn't going to break me.
Parker Cook
Good on ya mate. Get some beans, rice, kale and a rotisserie chicken. And lemons and avocados. Hopefully u r stocked on spices. Kale and chicken master race
Chase Flores
Lmao
Jonathan Allen
YOU buy the beans and rice, and fuck off with that fancy chicken breast nonsense.
I would lie and say your wife (or w/e) bought too much rice and beans and ask if they have any want for them because you were just going to throw it away anyways.
1) they are pretty much doing you a favor (in their mind), and they would be happy to help 2) they won't blow money you give them 3) they won't be insulted, and if they are poor, free food is a godsend
Hope that helps user and good luck
