Seconding this

Here's how I see it:

> You have no control of your past
> You have some control of your future
> You have full control of your present

At least until we invent time travel

Basically I'm probably going to be in prison for a year and on top of that I'm so financially fucked now because of that, that I'm never going to get out of this fucking hole

>>25576679
>> You have full control of your present

only to a very limited degree imo. Social pressure, genetics and deterministic neuroscience have made the idea of complete free will somewhat tricky.

we have some choices we can make, but to think that we are free to do whatever we want in any given circumstance i dunno if i agree with.

i'm a compatabalist but determinism scares the shit out of me and i wish it didn't make so much sense.

How old are you? Do you have family that can support you?

>>25576814
20

And no, my family have pretty much disowned me because of this shit, plus they've already sunk enough cash into me to help me and it only made them worse off for it

>>25576876
what did you do to get yourself in trouble?

>>25577029
Claimed tens of thousands of dollars of benefits I wasn't entitled to and lied to the government for over a year about working so I could claim said benefits

it's no inescapable, you're just a pussy

>>25576543
be a hero

>>25577196
Lol you must have said you had 10 kids when they ask how many dependants you have. I was thinking about doing that but I'm no dumbass

>>25576765

Prison offers all kinds of programs these days for people who actually want to improve themselves

You can learn skills, get fit, get a GED if you need one, learn a language, get sober if you need to

Also consider declaring bankruptcy before you go in, then you will start with a clean slate on the other side

>>25577375
Problem is that they actually believed it and I got away with it for the longest time because they didn't until now decide to check to make sure it was real

Reap what you sow I guess, in any case, I'm fucked now

I hope you didn't say anything anon.

Just get your lawyer to talk. Tell your lawyer EVERYTHING. Don't let him get blind sided.

Even if the chips aren't in your favor, your lawyer can get you something that's a bit more palatable. Probation isn't fun but its better than staying in a cell with Bubba

t. got charged with some serious felonies, process still ongoing, my lawyer is doing a fairly decent job

>>25577412
Damnnnnnn you should have switched it up or something, that's like robbing the same liquor store twice. You can only play the government for so long you shoulda known they would catch on.

>>25577515
It ain't looking good bro, but thanks anyway

Good luck to you
