oh man, this one FOUGHT me y'all. so much cutting and pasting. I am not even kidding when I say that everything that happens in this chapter was supposed to be part of the last one, and I gave up and cut that one off early because I was sick of trying to finish this part. and now this is my longest chapter yet. you know, out of all three of them. at 1.3k. lol. I am not, how do you say, fast. but I was hoping I'd be able to get a chapter written over christmas, and I'm really proud of myself for finishing it!

Content warnings for this chapter: box boy universe, pet whump, dehumanization, cage mention, rampant classism. As always, please tell me if there's anything else I need to tag.

[masterlist] [chapter two] [chapter four]

“Okay I know they’re supposed to be expensive but what can you possibly be charging this much money for.”

“Adoption fees are to offset the cost of room, board and medical care while at the facility,” the employee parrots, without so much as the decency to look ashamed.

“He does not look like he has had literally any of those things while he’s been here. Or possibly in his entire life.”

“Ma’am, if you cannot afford the adoption fee, then you cannot adopt a Pet.”

“Oh, I can afford it,” Vanessa growls, handing over a very shiny credit card before her mouth can get her in enough trouble to stop the employee from taking it. She bites her lip until she tastes copper to keep from saying, I’d just rather put it towards something that isn’t blatantly and obviously going right back into Worldwide Rehabilitative Un-fucking-limited’s pockets despite the fact that this is supposed to be a goddamn government facility.

Harm reduction, she reminds herself. Paying extortionate fees to kill shelters is still harm reduction. It’s the unsavory truth, but it doesn’t make the blood in her mouth taste any sweeter.

“Sign here,” the woman says, handing her credit card back along with a digital pad and stylus, and Vanessa cracks her wrist before she takes them. It’s sore and snapping like a glowstick from the mountain of paperwork she’s already been made to sign since the employee unceremoniously hauled the man on the floor behind her down from his double-high-stacked wire crate. She can’t decide whether to consider it an obscenely large amount, or an obscenely little one for all that it represents.

She can’t think about it too hard. Can’t draw too much of her own attention to the fact that she’s really doing this, or she might just run screaming back out into the grey-tinted autumn afternoon, and then where would this guy be?

She scribbles her name on the touchpad, and just like that… it’s done.

—

“Don’t forget your leash and collar,” the employee reminds her.

“I won’t be using those,” Vanessa says, with all the imperious rich-lady self-assurance she can fake.

“You will if you don’t want to be liable for civil and/or criminal penalties up to and including the permanent forfeiture of your right to Pet ownership,” the woman drones like she’s rattling it off from a handbook, and nobody has the right to own a person but even Vanessa knows better than to argue the system with someone who literally works for it.

She grinds her teeth as she takes the lengths of bulky blue nylon from the woman. She crouches beside the man, who’s bent himself into an odd kneeling fetal position on the cold tile floor. “Sorry,” she whispers as she slides the coarse material around his throat, feeling his pulse beat harsh and rapid underneath. She hopes she’s being quiet enough that the employee won’t hear her talking to him like a person—because he is a person, goddamnit—but she knows better than to trust her own volume. Best if she can get the fuck out of here with him now, before she makes a mistake.

She really doesn’t want to lead this dude crawling down the street like an animal. Doesn’t want to imagine what people will think. But she asks him, “Can you stand?”, and he makes a sound like a choking dog, and so much for both their dignity, she fucking guesses.

“Ugh, fine, whatever, just… come on.”

—

Fuck standing, the guy can barely support himself on all fours. His joints threaten to buckle at every step as Vanessa urges him out onto the chilly sidewalk. Coat of dirt aside, he’s got nothing on him but a pair of boxers as filthy as he is and that godawful blue collar, and when his bare skin meets the frigid pavement his body clenches so hard she can practically hear his teeth slam shut.

She looks at the unwashed man before her, shivering hard enough to rattle his bones in the cold October air. Looks at her thick brown coat. Ugh, she likes this coat, the lining is stitched in in all the right places to keep the texture of the shell from making her want to climb out of her own skin and no amount of dry cleaning in the world is going to convince her to put it on again once it touches… whatever the fuck is all goddamn over this guy. She sighs and shrugs it off.

Fuck fuck fuck it’s cold. She’s shivering herself in just plain blue jeans and her second favorite Cure t-shirt. But a million “if you’re cold, they’re cold!” memes flash through her mind and she grumbles aggrievedly and drapes the wool coat over his massive, gaunt frame. This dude has like a foot on her standing, she remembers when the lapels will barely pull around his shoulders. She’s gonna have to shake Austin down for clothes.

God, it feels beyond fucked up to have a person on a leash, and it doesn’t help that the cheap blue nylon feels plasticky in her hand and she hates the texture. She can’t imagine how much worse it must feel around the throat of the shuddering man before her. She’s taking the damn thing off him as soon as she gets him home, she’ll get him a better one if Roselle can’t find her a loophole and she absolutely fucking has to, but when the fifth or sixth cab passes her by without even slowing down she starts to wonder how the hell she’s going to get him home at all.

—

“You want to go to the corner,” the employee says boredly, not so much as looking up from her newspaper when Vanessa shoulders her way back through the door.

“You what?” Vanessa echoes.

“The corner. Better if you go another block or two, even. Cabs don’t stop in front of the shelter.”

Of course they don’t, Vanessa thinks.

She hipchecks the door back open and returns to the stupid goddamn hitching post they so conveniently provide along the front wall of the shelter, where she’s awkwardly strung up the loop of the stupid blue leash. “Hey, uh, dude? I’m gonna go up the street a bit, okay, I’ll be right back. Don’t go anywhere.”

He barely acknowledges that he’s heard her, curled back up under her coat in that same odd position with his forearms tucked into his chest. “...not that you would,” she adds dubiously, before power-walking away to the next block.

Vanessa hisses through her teeth in the bleak grey air and rubs at her goosebump-riddled arms, but true to the employee’s disaffected word it’s only a matter of minutes this time before a cab driver catches her wave and pulls over. “Thanks,” she says as she tumbles in. “I’m going back to the Heights. Need to pick someone up first, though. Just on the next block.”

The driver looks skeptical, but he rolls down the quiet street all the same—until he clocks the shelter just as Vanessa tells him to stop. “No. Nuh uh. No way. I don’t let Pets in my cab.”

“I’ll double your fare. Up front.”

The driver shakes his head, staring revulsed in the direction of the hitching post. “Not worth all that crud on my seats.” Oh. Great. He’s seen him.

“What if I cover the seats. Newspaper.”

The driver sizes her up with a calculating gaze, one elbow propped on the back of his seat, and somewhere in the middle of wanting to punch him for looking at her she finds herself wishing for once that she’d dressed… richer. Finally, he grouses, “Triple fare. And the meter’s runnin’ while ya cover ‘em.”

“Fine,” Vanessa spits, and sprints out with the door wide open before he has time to change his mind.

She barges into the shelter one last time, hopefully the last fucking time in her life if she has any say in it. Leaning over the counter, with a grin that’s probably a little too smug for her to be proud of, she snatches the newspaper directly out of the apathetic employee’s complicit hands.

THUNDERBALL 1965

Thunderball is a 1965 spy film and the fourth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, starring Sean Connery as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. It is an adaptation of the 1961 novel of the same name by Ian Fleming, which in turn was based on an original screenplay by Jack Whittingham devised from a story conceived by Kevin McClory, Whittingham, and Fleming. It was the third and final Bond film to be directed by Terence Young, with its screenplay by Richard Maibaum and John Hopkins.

The film follows Bond's mission to find two NATO atomic bombs stolen by SPECTRE, which holds the world ransom to the tune of £100 million in diamonds under threat of destroying an unspecified metropolis in either the United Kingdom or the United States (later revealed to be Miami). The search leads Bond to the Bahamas, where he encounters Emilio Largo, the card-playing, eyepatch-wearing SPECTRE Number Two. Backed by CIA agent Felix Leiter and Largo's mistress, Domino Derval, Bond's search culminates in an underwater battle with Largo's henchmen. The film's complex production comprised four different units, and about a quarter of the film comprises underwater scenes. Thunderball was the first Bond film shot in widescreen Panavision and the first to have a running time of over two hours.

Although planned by Bond film series producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman as the first entry in the franchise, Thunderball was associated with a legal dispute in 1961 when former Fleming collaborators McClory and Whittingham sued him shortly after the 1961 publication of the novel, claiming he based it upon the screenplay the trio had written for a cinematic translation of James Bond. The lawsuit was settled out of court and Broccoli and Saltzman, fearing a rival McClory film, allowed him to retain certain screen rights to the novel's plot and characters, and for McClory to receive sole producer credit on this film; Broccoli and Saltzman instead served as executive producers.

The film was exceptionally successful: its worldwide box-office receipts of $141.2 million (equivalent to $1,365,200,000 in 2023) exceeded not only that of each of its predecessors but that of every one of the next five Bond films that followed it. Thunderball remains the most financially successful film of the series in North America when adjusted for ticket price inflation. In 1966, John Stears won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects and BAFTA nominated production designer Ken Adam for an award. Some critics and viewers praised the film and branded it a welcome addition to the series, while others found the aquatic action repetitious. The movie was followed by 1967's You Only Live Twice. In 1983, Warner Bros. released a second film adaptation of the Thunderball novel under the title Never Say Never Again, with McClory as executive producer.

Top 5 Must-Have Features for a Successful eCommerce Website

In today’s digital era, creating a successful eCommerce website requires much more than just displaying products। The features that guarantee a smooth shopping experience, such as easy navigation and secure transactions, are essential for a profitable online store। These are the top five must-have features for a successful eCommerce website, whether you’re launching a new one or updating an existing one। Visit Us: http://www.shanviatech.com

1. User-Friendly Navigation

Customers may leave a congested website before they get a chance to look around. Navigating the various sections of your store with ease requires user-friendly navigation. Users should be able to readily locate categories, items, and information on the website thanks to its intuitive structure and well-organized menu. Important components of intuitive navigation consist of:

· Search Bar: A robust search functionality that allows users to find products using keywords, categories, or product codes.

· Categories and Filters: Properly organized product categories and filters (price, size, color, etc.) help customers narrow down their choices.

· Breadcrumbs: Provide users with a clear path to navigate back to previous pages without confusion.

Good navigation ensures that customers spend less time looking for what they need, resulting in higher satisfaction and increased conversions.

2. Mobile Responsiveness

By 2024, mobile eCommerce will still be quite popular as so many consumers will be shopping and browsing on smartphones. In order to take advantage of this enormous market, your eCommerce website needs to be mobile-friendly. With a responsive design, your website will adjust to various screen sizes with ease, offering the best possible viewing experience across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. Among the main advantages of mobile responsiveness are:

· Improved User Experience: A mobile-friendly website is easier to navigate and increases customer engagement.

· SEO Benefits: Search engines like Google prioritize mobile-responsive websites, improving your site’s search rankings.

· Higher Conversion Rates: With more users shopping via mobile, a responsive design leads to higher sales and customer retention.

In addition to annoying visitors, a non-responsive website lowers its exposure in search results, which can seriously harm your company.

3. Secure Payment Gateways

One of the most important features of an eCommerce website is security. Consumers must feel secure when transacting, particularly in light of the growing worry over online fraud and data breaches. Gaining a customer’s trust requires integrating a secure payment gateway. To guarantee secure transactions, the following components are essential:

· SSL Encryption: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption protects sensitive information, like credit card details, during the checkout process.

· Multiple Payment Options: Offer various payment methods, including credit cards, debit cards, digital wallets (e.g., PayPal, Apple Pay), and even buy-now-pay-later options to cater to a diverse audience.

· PCI Compliance: Ensure your website complies with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) to protect customers’ payment data.

In addition to increasing trust, a secure checkout procedure lowers cart abandonment, which boosts revenue and fosters client loyalty.

4. Fast Loading Speed

Conversion rates and user experience are closely related to website speed. Customers become irritated and may quit a website that loads slowly before completing a purchase. In fact, studies reveal that a little one-second lag in page load speed can cause a 7% decline in conversions. Important techniques to enhance loading speed consist of:

· Optimized Images: Compressing images without losing quality can drastically improve page load times.

· Content Delivery Network (CDN): A CDN distributes content across multiple servers worldwide, ensuring faster delivery of web pages.

· Minimized Code: Reducing unnecessary code, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, ensures quicker page rendering.

Not only does a quick website keep users interested, but it also helps you rank higher in search results because Google values site speed highly.

5. Customer Reviews and Testimonials

In the field of eCommerce, customer reviews are an invaluable resource. They encourage potential buyers to feel confident about the quality of products, which acts as social proof and influences their purchasing decisions. A mechanism that makes it simple for customers to post reviews and read those of others should be included in any successful eCommerce website. Key characteristics include of:

· Verified Reviews: Ensure that only verified buyers can leave reviews, which builds trust in the authenticity of feedback.

· Star Ratings and Comments: A combination of star ratings and written reviews gives customers detailed insights into a product’s performance.

· Review Moderation: Implement a moderation system to prevent spam or fake reviews from appearing on the site.

Testimonials and reviews that are positive increase trustworthiness, encourage conversions, and have a big effect on customer retention.

User experience, security, and functionality must be given top priority on your website if you want to compete in the fiercely competitive eCommerce market. Building trust, interacting with clients, and increasing sales all depend on features like user-friendly navigation, responsiveness on mobile devices, safe payment gateways, quick loading times, and customer reviews. You’ll not only create a seamless buying experience by adding these essential elements, but you’ll also grow your online business to unprecedented levels.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York released data this week indicating that American credit card debt has reached a new high of $1.14 trillion. A separate report from TransUnion has found that the average American is carrying $6,329 in personal credit card debt, a 4.8% uptick from last year.

The vice president of TransUnion reported that more borrowers are maxing out their credit cards. Delinquencies have risen 9.1% in the past year as borrowers are unable to pay. Credit card balances overall have risen 48% since 2021 and shows no signs of slowing. Balances overall rose $27 billion from Q2 and 7.18% of credit card debt was marked “seriously delinquent” or over 90 days past due during this time.

Consumers are pulling back on spending simply because they cannot afford to do so. Now this leads to lower revenues for businesses who are likely dealing with their own debt. We must also realize that the banks will always expect to be repaid and major institutions just reported a combined loss of $4,139,000,000. The banks are less likely to simply write off debt and expect a bail out. They will first come after all secured forms of debt and resort to legal measures such as wage garnishment.

Now, this only discusses credit card debt. Household debt rose to $17.987 during Q1 of 2024 and has not waned. This problem is worldwide as countless nations now have household debt that exceeds GDP. As we face looming wars that guarantee a rise in prices, the personal debt crisis will inevitably come to a head as consumers turn into savers at best or debtors at worst.

The Cost of Hair Transplant in the UK A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction Hair loss is a common issue that affects millions of people worldwide. In the UK, hair transplant procedures have become increasingly popular as a solution to hair loss. However, the cost of these procedures can vary widely, and understanding the factors that influence these costs is crucial for anyone considering a hair transplant. This article provides a comprehensive guide to the hair transplant costs UK, exploring the various factors that affect pricing, the different types of procedures available, and tips for choosing the right clinic and surgeon.

Factors Influencing the Cost of Hair Transplants Several factors can influence the cost of a hair transplant in the UK. These include:

Type of Procedure: The two most common types of hair transplant procedures are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUE is generally more expensive than FUT because it is more time-consuming and requires more skill and precision.

Number of Grafts: The number of grafts required significantly impacts the cost. More extensive hair loss requires more grafts, leading to higher costs.

Surgeon's Experience and Reputation: Highly experienced and reputable surgeons typically charge more for their services. However, their expertise can ensure better results, which may justify the higher cost.

Clinic Location: The location of the clinic can also affect the cost. Clinics in major cities like London tend to be more expensive than those in smaller towns.

Technology and Equipment: Clinics that use the latest technology and equipment may charge more for their services. Advanced technology can improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the procedure.

Additional Services: Some clinics offer additional services such as post-operative care, medications, and follow-up appointments, which can add to the overall cost.

Types of Hair Transplant Procedures There are two primary types of hair transplant procedures: FUT and FUE. Understanding the differences between these procedures can help you make an informed decision.

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): Also known as strip harvesting, FUT involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, usually at the back of the head. The strip is then divided into individual follicular units, which are transplanted to the recipient area. FUT is generally less expensive than FUE but can leave a linear scar.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): FUE involves extracting individual follicular units directly from the donor area using a specialized punch tool. These units are then transplanted to the recipient area. FUE is more time-consuming and requires a higher level of skill, making it more expensive. However, it leaves minimal scarring and has a shorter recovery time compared to FUT. Financing and Payment Options Many clinics offer financing options to help patients manage the cost of hair transplants. These options can include:

Payment Plans: Some clinics offer payment plans that allow patients to spread the cost of the procedure over several months or years. This can make the procedure more affordable by breaking down the cost into manageable payments.

Medical Loans: Patients can also consider taking out a medical loan to cover the cost of the procedure. Medical loans often come with lower interest rates compared to traditional loans and can be tailored to the patient's financial situation.

Credit Cards: Using a credit card is another option, although it is important to be mindful of the interest rates and ensure that you can pay off the balance in a timely manner to avoid accumulating debt.

Choosing the Right Clinic and Surgeon Selecting the right clinic and surgeon is crucial for achieving the best possible results from a hair transplant. Here are some tips to help you make an informed decision:

Research and Reviews: Conduct thorough research and read reviews from previous patients. Look for clinics with a high number of positive reviews and testimonials.

Consultations: Schedule consultations with multiple clinics to discuss your needs and expectations. This will give you an opportunity to compare costs, assess the professionalism of the staff, and get a feel for the clinic's environment.

Surgeon's Credentials: Verify the surgeon's credentials, including their qualifications, experience, and membership in professional organizations such as the British Association of Hair Restoration Surgery (BAHRS).

Before and After Photos: Ask to see before and after photos of previous patients. This can give you an idea of the surgeon's skill and the quality of their work.

Transparent Pricing: Ensure that the clinic provides transparent pricing with a detailed breakdown of costs. Avoid clinics that offer prices that seem too good to be true, as they may compromise on quality or use outdated techniques.

Post-Operative Care and Maintenance The cost of a hair transplant doesn't end with the procedure itself. Post-operative care and maintenance are essential for ensuring the success of the transplant and the longevity of the results. These additional costs can include:

Medications: Patients may need to take medications such as antibiotics, pain relievers, and anti-inflammatory drugs to aid in the healing process and prevent infections.

Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-up appointments with the surgeon are crucial for monitoring the progress of the transplant and addressing any concerns.

Hair Care Products: Specialized hair care products may be recommended to promote healthy hair growth and maintain the results of the transplant.

Lifestyle Changes: Patients may need to make certain lifestyle changes, such as avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, to support the healing process and ensure optimal results.

Alternatives to Hair Transplants For those who may not be ready to commit to the cost or invasiveness of a hair transplant, there are alternative treatments available. These include:

Medications: Medications like Minoxidil (Rogaine) and Finasteride (Propecia) can help slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth. While these treatments are less expensive than hair transplants, they require ongoing use to maintain results.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): LLLT is a non-invasive treatment that uses red light to stimulate hair growth. It can be performed at home using laser combs or helmets, or at a clinic. The cost is lower than a hair transplant, but multiple sessions are required.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy involves injecting platelet-rich plasma from the patient's blood into the scalp to stimulate hair growth. It is less invasive than a hair transplant and can be used in conjunction with other treatments. However, multiple sessions are needed, and the cost can add up over time.

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP): SMP is a cosmetic procedure that involves tattooing tiny dots on the scalp to mimic the appearance of hair follicles. It is a less expensive alternative to hair transplants but does not promote actual hair growth.

Conclusion Hair transplants in the UK can be a life-changing solution for those struggling with hair loss, but they come with a significant financial investment. Understanding the various factors that influence the cost, the types of procedures available, and the importance of choosing a reputable clinic and surgeon can help you make an informed decision. Additionally, exploring financing options and considering alternative treatments can provide more flexibility in managing the cost. With careful planning and research, you can achieve the best possible results and restore your confidence.

Chrissy Cunningham Cinematic Universe

"I love chrissy cunningham. I want her back in st. in fact, I want her own tv show. animated and live action. both with 5 seasons & 3 spin offs. and then a whole movie. actually I want a chrissy cunningham cinematic universe. and a whole book series just about her. and videogames." - @/goddes_rabbit on Twitter

Okay I saw this tweet and I have both ADHD and nowhere to be until 11 am so I give you this! *sparkles and fairy dust*

Chrissy in ST: She doesn't die because she is simply too babygirl for that. She is Vecna's first horseman of the apocalypse but when the party defeats him at the end of Season 4, she’s returned to normal. She goes about her life as a cheerleader but moves in with Eddie and Wayne and becomes a core part of the group. Her, Eddie, Nancy, Robin, and Steve become besties.

Chrissy's own TV Show: This would essentially be Stranger Things but from her perspective. There's also one season that's entirely flashbacks to Vecna from her perspective and being in the UD with her Vecna peeps. The main plot points would be:

-Fallout from being Vecna'd (bullying, PTSD, revoking her "it girl" status)

-Found family with Eddie and Wayne (and the rest of the party)

-Her parents trying to get her back after she moves in with Eddie and Wayne

-Her helping the party with any lingering supernatural happenings in Hawkins.

-Chrissy healing from all the shit she's gone through and finding light and happiness.

(There's also a subplot about Chrissy being really good at science and kind of a nerd about it too and when they inevitably bring Mr. Clark back, the two of them become odd besties. He remembers her as one of his best students. He ends up becoming someone she can go to for help and advice outside of her circle of friends.)

Chrissy's Animated TV Show: I immediately went to a Winx Club/Sabrina the Teenage Witch style show about her middle school years! It would be animated and geared toward younger kids so the subject matter is super light. Fashion, cheerleading for the sake of cheerleading, sleepovers, magazines, lip gloss, and her chance encounter with Eddie at the talent show.

Spin-off #1: The Adventures of Baby Chrissy. Chrissy as a baby (a la Baby Looney Tunes and Rugrats) and all the shenanigans she gets into. Featuring cameos by baby Eddie, baby Steve, baby Nancy, and baby Robin). cutecutecute.

Spin-off #2: Chrissy's Big Scare. (Post-Vecna). This would be a mini-series, kind of like the ones that come on during commercial breaks. In it, Chrissy tries to watch a different scary movie every week as a sort of aversion therapy to help her cope with being Vecna'd. She does it when Eddie and Wayne are gone because she wants to be able to be brave without them there to comfort her. It would just be her reactions to everything: laughing at cheesy dialogue, spilling popcorn when she gets jump scared, hiding under the blanket, getting invested into the plot, (and yes, calling Eddie if it gets too scary).

Spin-off #3: Chrissy's Haunted Cheer Camp. (Pre-Vecna). Chrissy and her friends go to a yearly cheer camp but (surprise, surprise) it's haunted. Every summer is one season and every summer, something crazy scary happens. Personal items keep disappearing, things that go bump in the night, one of the girls gets possessed. The last season features the craziest story (and it occurs the summer before Will gets taken).

One of their counselors even goes missing for the majority of the summer but she's not as conventionally "pretty" as the rest of them so no one cares except Chrissy. She Nancy Drew's her way into some answers and they end up finding the girl at the end of the summer. And here's the chilling part: she walks out of the lake with no memory of what happened.

Movie: Chrissy Around the World. The summer before senior year, Chrissy was supposed to go to church camp but she was feeling extra rebellious and used her dad's credit card to go on a worldwide vacation. Paris, African Safari, everywhere. (Think Megan in the "Drake and Josh" movie or Kevin in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York"). She ends her vacation in New York and falls in love with it and decides that's where she wants to move when she moves out of Hawkins the following year. It features a very satisfying 2000s-esque shopping spree, hotel trashing, and a cameo by taylor swift (ask me if i give a fuck about continuity).

Chrissy Cinematic Universe:

Movie about Chrissy’s life pre-vecna

Movie about Chrissy’s time in the UD

Movie about Chrissy in the 90s living in New York with Eddie

Lore about her brother and his life

Movies about her and Eddie's kids and then, their lives as adults

Movies about her GRANDKIDS and their lives

(Chrissy is the Padme Amidala of the Munson family.)

Fuck it, Chrissy across the multiverse. IDC. She's a superhero in one of them. Chrissy defeats Thanos. Chrissy is a time traveler. Chrissy is the 15th Doctor. Chrissy made Bigfoot up. Chrissy is Jack the Ripper. Chrissy is DB Cooper.

Book Series: Sweet Baby Chrissy. Basically the art style of tinker bell pixie hollow books and it’s geared toward kids so it’s mundane things about her. Chrissy’s Bad Hair Day. Chrissy’s Sleepover. Chrissy's Broken Leg. Chrissy Bakes a Pie. Chrissy and Steve having a babysitting job together. Chrissy going to see christmas lights with the gang.

Video Games:

Cheer For Your Life - complete the cheer routine or else Vecna gets you.

Chrissy’s Closet - Get Chrissy dressed for different events before the timer runs out (pep rally, date with Eddie, etc)

Chrissy Cunningham Upside Down - a scary quarry type game where Chrissy navigates getting out of the upside down. She has to hunt down objects that will help her ("Uptown Girl" cassette, her pom-poms, picture of her brother, etc.) and you don’t know who’s friend or foe so you have to fight some of your friends if they've been Vecna'd.

Chrissy Wake Up - (guitar hero basically) hit all the notes of "Master of Puppets" to wake Chrissy Up.

Surfer Girl Pizza - Chrissy helps Argyle with a huge order of pizzas (pizza making game)

The Hideout - (scavenger hunt/quest game) help Corroded Coffin get ready for their show at the hideout by locating eddie’s guitar, fixing gareth’s drumsticks and helping the boys find their lucky pins etc.

Bad Girl - help Chrissy sneak out to meet Eddie without waking up her parents or brother.

#I fucking love this woman #chrissy cunningham #Chrissy Wake up #stranger things #st #vecna #Eddie munson #eddissy #hellcheer

I honestly am not a huge fan of Tupac. I do acknowledge that he is a legend in rap and hip/hop history but his music has never been anything I’d personally listen to. He still should be given his credit as one of the most influential artists of all time. However, he starred in one of my favorite movies from the 90s, which is why I dedicated this blog post to him.

Overview

Tupac Amaru Shakur, often referred to by his stage names Makaveli and 2Pac is regarded by many as one of the greatest rappers of all time in terms of success and influence. Shakur has sold over 75 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling musicians. Shakur's music has been recognized for tackling many of the modern socioeconomic challenges that inner cities face. Shakur was born in New York City to parents who were both political activists and Black Panther Party members.

Controversies

Tupac’s legacy was not all sunshine and rainbows. He was arrested and sent to jail multiple times, and actually faced prison time at one point.

He faced a trial in 1994 for alleged sexual assault of a fan. He and members of his entourage were charged with sexual abuse of a woman named Ayanna Jackson. Throughout the court procedures, the late rapper maintained that the encounter was consensual, and he even pled his case to the public by discussing it on The Arsenio Hall Show. He ended up being sentenced to 1.5 to 4.5 years. After serving eleven months of his sentence, he was released from prison on an appeal financed by Marion "Suge" Knight.

An article by CBC, written by the CBC Radio, talks about how Tupac did not only release music with a societal conscious message. Shakur shifted away from positive and affirming political music and toward more profitable, but controversial, music when trends began to change.

Acting Career

Tupac was a master of many cards, as he didn’t stick to just making music. He also pursued an acting career. One of his most famous appearances was in the movie Juice in 1992. This is one of my favorite 90s movies of all time! Tupac played the role of Bishop in the film. The plot foes like Bishop gets a taste of power with the possession of a firearm, he turns into a merciless killing machine who his closest friends no longer recognize. It really is a hood classic and introduced me to how talented Tupac was.

Tupac also starred in the film Poetic Justice in 1993. He played the character Lucky and had an on-screen romantic partner. This role showed how versatile Tupac’s acting style was and how he could truly fit into any role presented to him.

Accomplishments

Before he unfortunately passed away, Tupac made a huge mark on society and had an ongoing list of successes and accomplishments.

Tupac sold over 75 million records worldwide. Rolling Stone magazine named him one of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time."

One of his most well-known songs, "Changes," addresses issues affecting society. The song reuses phrases from "I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto," which was recorded in 1992, and samples Bruce Hornsby and the Range's 1986 smash song "The Way It Is." Tupac had experienced growing up with concerns of poverty, classism, and racial segregation, all of which were addressed in the 1986 song. Tupac addressed racism, drugs, war, violence, and police brutality in his verses.

Rappers' attitudes about movies have altered since Tupac's breakthrough film, Juice. Bishop, a confused young guy who betrays his friends and grows into a ruthless murderer, was played by him. The film not only illustrates what it was like to live in Harlem in the 1990s, but it was also the first time a rapper gave a truly excellent dramatic performance.

Tragedy

He was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada, on September 7, 1996, at 11:15 p.m. The incident occurred while the vehicle in which he was driving was stopped at a red light. Four shots from a.40-caliber Glock were fired at Shakur. Six days later, he died as a result of his injuries.

Just recently, Duane "Keefe D" Davis was apprehended on September 29, 2023, a whole 27 years later, after having been charged by a grand jury for the first-degree murder of Tupac Shakur.

This made me happy because society went all these years without knowing who killed such a legend in the making, and now it seems justice has finally been served.

Alternative Payment Methods (APMs) for Online Transactions

‍‍In the past decade, the world of online payments has witnessed a significant transformation. With the rise of e-commerce and the increasing preference for mobile shopping, customers now have more choices than ever when it comes to payment methods. This shift has led to the emergence of alternative payment methods (APMs) that offer customers greater convenience and flexibility. In this article, we will explore the different types of APMs, their popularity across the globe, the benefits of accepting these methods for businesses, and how to choose the best APMs for your business.

Understanding Alternative Payment Methods

Alternative payment methods refer to any form of payment that does not involve cash or traditional credit card systems like Visa, Mastercard, or American Express. These methods include domestic cards, digital wallets, bank transfers, prepaid cards, and more. Unlike traditional payment methods, APMs offer unique advantages such as enhanced security, faster processing times, and ease of use. They have become particularly popular for online transactions, with many countries seeing a significant shift towards APM usage.

Types of Alternative Payment Methods

Prepaid cards: Prepaid cards are loaded with funds by consumers and can be used for purchases until the balance is depleted. They are not directly linked to a bank account and are a popular choice for individuals who want to control their spending.

Cash-based payments: Cash-based payment methods allow customers to generate a barcode or unique reference number for their payment and then complete the transaction by paying in cash at a participating retail location. This method is particularly popular in regions with a large unbanked population.

Real-time bank transfers: Real-time bank transfers enable customers to make online payments directly from their bank accounts. This method offers instant settlement and minimal friction for customers, making it a convenient choice for many.

Direct Debit: Direct debit allows merchants to pull funds directly from customers' bank accounts for recurring payments. This method is commonly used for subscription-based services and offers a seamless and automated payment experience.

Domestic card schemes: Domestic card schemes operate similarly to global card schemes but are limited to specific markets. These schemes cater to the unique needs of consumers in their respective markets and often provide lower processing costs for merchants.

Electronic wallets (e-wallets): E-wallets allow customers to store funds digitally and use them for various transactions, both online and offline. They offer convenience, security, and often provide additional features like peer-to-peer transfers and cross-border payments.

Mobile wallets: Mobile wallets are digital wallets that are specifically designed to be used on mobile devices. Customers can load funds into their mobile wallets through various methods and make payments conveniently through their smartphones.

Digital wallets: Digital wallets are used to store payment card information securely and generate tokenized card numbers for each transaction. They offer a convenient and secure way to shop online without the need to enter card details repeatedly.

Buy now, pay later (BNPL): BNPL services allow customers to defer payments or split the cost of a purchase into installments. This method is gaining popularity for its flexibility and convenience, particularly for high-value purchases.

Cryptocurrencies and stablecoins: Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have gained attention in recent years, offering an alternative form of payment. Stablecoins, which are cryptocurrencies linked to fiat currencies or government bonds, aim to reduce volatility and make transactions easier.

Popular APMs Worldwide

The popularity of APMs varies across different regions and countries. Here are some notable trends:

North America

In North America, digital wallets have become the most popular payment method, surpassing credit and debit cards. Apple Pay and Google Pay are widely used, while services like PayPal and Venmo are gaining traction among the younger generation. APMs account for a significant portion of e-commerce transactions in the region.

South America

APMs are gaining ground in South America, with a projected increase in their usage for digital commerce transactions. Credit cards still dominate, but alternative online payment solutions, such as e-cash methods, are becoming more widespread. Cash on delivery is also popular, especially in countries with a large unbanked population.

Europe

In Europe, digital wallets have surpassed credit and debit cards as the preferred online payment method. Domestic debit cards, like Bancontact in Belgium and Cartes Bancaires in France, are popular alongside global card schemes. Bank transfer methods, such as iDEAL in the Netherlands and Przelewy24 in Poland, are also preferred by a significant number of consumers.

Africa

In Africa, mobile wallets have gained popularity due to the lack of bank branch infrastructure and a large rural population. Cash on delivery remains the preferred method, especially in Nigeria and South Africa. Digital wallets are also seeing growth, particularly in Kenya and Nigeria.

Middle East

Cash has traditionally been the dominant payment method in the Middle East. However, the region is experiencing a shift towards mobile wallets due to increased smartphone penetration and concerns over the transmission of cash during the pandemic. Mobile wallet adoption is supported by the expansion of international brands and government-backed payment networks.

Asia Pacific

China has its own domestic card scheme, UnionPay, which accounts for a significant portion of global card spending. Mobile payments, particularly through Alipay and WeChat Pay, are widely used in China. Other countries in the region, such as Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand, have their own popular alternative payment methods, including GrabPay and OVO Wallet.

The Benefits of Accepting APMs for Businesses

Not accepting customers' preferred payment methods can have a negative impact on conversion rates and lead to shopping cart abandonment. Research shows that a significant percentage of consumers are deterred from completing a purchase if their preferred payment method is not available. By accepting a variety of APMs, businesses can improve customer satisfaction, increase conversion rates, and stay ahead of their competitors.

APMs offer several benefits for businesses:

Increased conversion rates: By offering a wide range of payment methods, businesses can cater to the preferences of different customer segments, leading to higher conversion rates and reduced shopping cart abandonment.

Improved customer experience: APMs provide convenience and flexibility for customers, allowing them to choose the payment method that suits their needs and preferences. This enhances the overall customer experience and fosters loyalty.

Expanded customer base: Accepting popular local and global APMs enables businesses to reach a wider customer base, including those who prefer alternative payment methods over traditional options.

Reduced fraud and chargebacks: Many APMs incorporate advanced security features, such as biometric authentication and tokenization, which help reduce the risk of fraud and chargebacks for businesses.

Access to valuable insights: APM providers often offer detailed transaction data and analytics, providing businesses with valuable insights into consumer behavior and preferences. This data can be leveraged to optimize marketing strategies and improve customer targeting.

Choosing the Best APMs for Your Business

Selecting the right APMs for your business requires a thorough understanding of your target market, customer preferences, and business requirements. Here are some steps to guide you in choosing the best APMs:

Research customer preferences: Conduct market research to identify the most popular payment methods among your target audience. Consider factors such as geography, demographics, and shopping habits to determine the most relevant APMs for your business.

Evaluate business needs: Assess your business requirements, including cost per transaction, setup and management complexity, regulatory compliance, and compatibility with your existing payment infrastructure. Choose APMs that align with your business goals and objectives.

Partner with the right providers: Work with payment service providers that offer comprehensive coverage of the APMs you wish to integrate. Ensure they have the necessary capabilities to support your business's growth and adapt to evolving customer preferences.

Test and optimize: Implement APMs in a phased approach and continuously monitor their performance. Analyze transaction data and customer feedback to identify any pain points or areas for improvement. Regularly optimize your APM strategy to maximize conversions and customer satisfaction.

By embracing the growing trend of APMs and selecting the right mix of payment methods for your business, you can enhance the payment experience for your customers and drive growth in your online sales.

Conclusion

Alternative payment methods have revolutionized the world of online transactions, offering customers greater convenience and flexibility. From digital wallets and mobile payments to real-time bank transfers and buy now, pay later services, APMs cater to a wide range of customer preferences. Businesses that embrace APMs can benefit from increased conversion rates, improved customer experience, and access to valuable insights. By understanding customer preferences, evaluating business needs, and partnering with the right providers, businesses can choose the best APMs to drive growth and success in the digital marketplace. Stay ahead of the competition by embracing the changing landscape of online payments and offering customers the payment methods they prefer.
