I would just ask my brother to give me $40. I think he would probably do that to avoid exploding.
This is the winner in my book
Damn that sucks, all y’all unemployed?
I open my laptop and answer about six emails.
You can answer SIX whole emails in three hours?
damn that’s like a full day for me.
Y’all are answering emails?!
Bruh I answer faxes and letters, and I actually prefer that.
That usually a month for me. I don’t respond unless it’s something important.
Practise harder!
Go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.
Needless to say I’m not too fond of my family…
Um…my job?
Right? 3 hours is $288. Any other families that need not exploding?
Sit on my ass. Maybe play a video game.
Fuckers.
How you were moving in your loving family
“loving family”
Oh honey…
But step bro…
Sell my shirt to my dad for $40. I’m pretty sure he’d rather buy my shirt than explode.
40 dollars? That’s all? I’m salaried and can work any hours I want to, so I guess I’m logging in at work and writing a few lines of code or answering some emails.
Twenty minutes will do it. Probably round it up to half an hour just to be safe. And honestly, if I get into the zone, an hour will fly by, easy.
Go to work for an hour
Take my bottles to the depot
Ask a buddy to spot me 40
Sell a couple things
… check my bank account?
$40 isn’t that much money…
Go to a cash dispenser
Can you grab some for me, too, while you’re there?
Start suckin and fuckin 🫡
So $13.33/h?
That’s less than £10 which I believe would be below minimum wage in my country, so basically any job would do it
Assuming you get your paycheck either weekly or monthly, you won’t have $40 after 3 hours through, even if you did $40 worth of work.
make $40
Doesn’t say you have to acquire it personally.
what about “make” as in “create”
everyone’s family explodes in this thread
Good old-fashioned robbery. Then when charged argue a defense of necessity.
To make such a defense, you have to show that the harm you sought to avoid exceeds the harmed caused by the crime you admit to performing. Robbing $40 from a random store obviously meets this threshold if the alternative is multiple people dying.
There are many cases where you can’t argue a defense of necessity. For example, if someone threatens to kill your family unless you kill some other person, you can’t argue a defense of necessity at your murder trial. You can’t sacrifice one life to save another. But if the crime you commit is obviously orders of magnitude less destructive than the alternative? Then yes, simply robbing a store for $40 to prevent multiple deaths could easily be argued as a necessity.
Hell, even if you’re not able to make that defense; it’s 40 bucks. What are the odds I’ll face anything other than probation for such a minor crime?
It’s the obvious answer, but sometimes the simplest answers are best. If I simply have to make 40 dollars within the next 3 hours, or people die? Yeah I’m just straight-up robbing somewhere.
Depends how you define “make”
If standard pay from job is too late, then I’d sell a CSP or CC from my brokerage account and I technically “made” the premium
If that’s not urgent enough, take some jewelry to a pawn shop and hock it
Explain the situation to my family and sell them stuff.
I just hope they can scrounge up the $10,000 between them.
Can’t I just take $40 out of my wallet?
