Buy trust, respect, and have a needed skillset you can barter with. It can be car mechanic to organizational skills, so long as you do it well and have the trust and respect of others you can work well.

A trick I learned is to be everyone's friend. Learn to tell jokes and have a nice conversation. I've seen my dad stop a man from destroying his office by just being friendly and chatting. It's how I survived Seattle for so many years.

Learn other skills that you can do well enough that the basics are easily done. This includes cleaning, car stuff, organizing, yard work, and cooking. If you can prove you're not trying to be a freeloader, and could survive on your own with better circumstances, less people will complain.

Collect items you like. If you have extras, trade them for other stuff.

A long time ago when my Dad was going to high school, he ran for student body office and won by promoting himself to the nonpopular kids. There were way more of them than the popular kids and those who wanted to be them. The entire concept of being a popular kid has been blown back several times since. Spiderman filled a stadium in the 70's. Toys and other stuff for kids was sold throughout the 80's and made a lot of money. Comics became collectors items in the 90's. Then they became the big name in movies in the 00 and 010 period. That is decades of nonpopular kids ruling over the popular kids.

So, the popular kids are now trying to appropriate it as their own. It never works because its not as popular, but they scheme to make it look that way. We aren't seeing popular girls try to steal D&D, we are seeing popular girls attempt to be popular with what they think D&D is. The line of distinction is obvious when you see how they respond to it. The Gatekeeping that famously happened was just Geeks making sure the girl they are talking to is an actual geek and not a wannabe.

We watch them lose, because they think they are popular. They are willing to rip the country in half to get their way.

Within a generation the idea of an actor being famous and not just an AI created character will be gone.

It's not tiger penis soup that makes you more fertile, you need to screw the tiger directly. Save tiger population and create weretigers in one thrust.

Our government is so corrupt they started arresting people for the murder of Tupac as a distraction. Even aliens didn't phase us, so they had to bring the big guns.

It's caused a real weirdness in how we perceived things. Florida is the first place I have been to where Hispanic celebrations were more than just Poor Mexicans. It insults the rich Mexicans and the Argentines alike, but the vast majority in the US are the poor Mexicans.

The south west and Texas get even weirder because many are Mexican but have been in the USA since it took over the area.

Germans just did a walkabout and took over more territories after Rome moved to Germany.

This entire thing just makes me sad for the guy that did the amazing Scooby Doo animation and was tormented until he apologized for using AI voice actors.

The more amazing and cutting edge the tech, the more likely it will be used for porn. I knew the Wii would be popular when a friend in Vegas told me a brothel had a Wii Development kit on display. I truly wish there was something greater than this, but it has held true every time.

So, porn made by computers with no one being harmed? No person being used up and thrown away? It sounds like this https://youtu.be/fwTcfwbrNO4

It also reminds me of the essay by the Dilbert writer that Holodecks will be our last invention. We'll be too busy in the Holodecks or the matrix to care to move out to the real world.

This is McDonald's Ball!!

The clown looked down at me, and I flipped him the birdie. He just grimaced. He used to be a fry guy, but lately he worried more about the big Mac than the small fry.

My father in law is Icelandic so I can confirm, no mosquitos.

Also, mosqua means fly in Spanish if I remember correctly.
