god I should stop reading online discussions on fighting games. Every single justification I've read for people wanting characters to be locked before playing some amount of single player (or even comparing older games with locked characters, to modern DLC characters???) is so fucking silly. Christ
#le ramblings#mcfighty games tag#rant#“I remember when you had to play the game to unlock characters and not buy them!!!”#NO YOU FUCKING DIDN'T. YOU BOUGHT. THE LATER VERSION OF A GAME WHICH WAS A GLORIFIED PATCH.#SOLD AS A SEPARATE. UPGRADED VERSION OF THE GAME.#FOR FULL RETAIL PRICE.#Piecemeal DLC characters may be an absolute annoyance especially since they almost never let you lab them without buying them first#but jesus christ this is not worse than the old model FGs had for adding new characters/balance updates#Comparing locked characters to post-launch dlc characters is so silly too#A locked character back then wpuld just be an unlocked base roster character now#a DLC character now wouldn't be a locked character back then. They'd be in the FUCKING LATER VERSION. THAT YOU BUY. AT RETAIL PRICE.#Locked characters back then were already IN the game. dipshit.#god. use your brain to think on something for more than 10 seconds at a time#yes I browsed r/gaming. Famously bad idea. I am aware.#still full of dipshit takes#long post

the only unrealistic or impossible to believe thing in the entire lotr movie series is how frodo and sam maintain their luxurious hobbit curls all the way to mordor
#lord of the rings#lotr#lotr films#lord of the rings movies#peter jackson lord of the rings#samwise gamgee#frodo baggins#i caved and rented the theatrical edition of tt from amazon because my soul desperately needs it right now#the extended edition of fellowship was a reasonable price but they jacked it up for the other two and the ee are way more expensive#so i had to grit my teeth and settle for the theatrical releases#it's an open secret that my brother is getting me the full extended edition boxset for christmas#(by ''open secret'' i mean ''i sent him a list of retailers that sell it and at what price'')#but i couldn't emotionally wait until christmas to continue my re-re-re-re-watch

man having big sale (bc our store is closing) really draws out the stupid in people
"how much does this cost" *tells them* "ok and how much is this *holds up exact same thing but different colour*" "and what about this one *holds up same thing, again, in the same colour as the first*"
"what is this? is it for your hair? *hands me a vibrator*"
"when are you closing?" "on the 10th :)" "oh okay october 10th?" (asked today, november 1st)
"you dont have these boots in the size i need :( can i come back tomorrow?" girl we havent had anything new come in for like almost two months nothing will change in a day
#that one person with a basket full of shit who first thing told me they wanted me to check the price for everything first#i am strangling them with my mind#it took so fucking long for what?? 80% of this probably still had their price in front of it#and ohhh 70% discount hard but use your goddamn phone it has a calculator#retail#also tablecloth my beloathed#at least these people were really nice but MAN

@cina-full-moon-xanadium replied to your post:
would you believe he was not even available to vote for
that's literally insane!!!! a character everyone generally likes, with a unique mold compared to most ultra figures, and he's part of a trio (and by extension, technically speaking, a Main ultra) so there's obviously strong demand from collectors. they are OPPRESSING ultraman taiga fans (ME) 😤😡
#tregear and horobi at retail price is a good deal tho i just looked up their current prices and my goodness#cina full moon xanadium#kendrix morgan died for our sins#ultraman for ts

#swifties can be good and kind sometimes#seriously my heart is overflowing#v emotional#especially seeing all the scalpers buying shit and marking it up 500%#i am so full of gratitude!#i guess there are still good ppl out there#i wanted it but i didn't see it at my philly show for some reason!#i've been looking for it on ebay and mercari but they're all twice or 3 times the retail price#i had just about given up and decided to wait till after tour when maybe it would be for sale on her site#i had also been thinking of deleting the reddit app#and then this kind king offered to get things for ppl#😭#eras tour#💗

Look what I got for $40 from BookOutlet!!
They said these are liquidated overstock so they might have marker lines on the pages/spines and stuff, but only London Calling does (and it’s just a little black dot on the bottom of the pages, though there’s a pretty sizable chip gone out of the back cover, unfortunately). The rest are minty fresh, still sealed in the shrink wrap! These would have been $165 if I’d bought them all at MSRP (which I was tempted to years ago, but thankfully didn’t). $9 for any kind of art book is awesome, especially ones as big and chunky as these 😱 can’t wait to look through em!!
#overwatch#overwatch 2#these art books retailed for $45 a few years ago and tbh. i can see why they ended up with this much overstock lol#cool concepts but like did they really need FOUR full priced artbooks for this game lmao#feel like stuff could have been combined here#but anyways! got all 4 of these for less than the MSRP of 1 of them so I’m happy

#10 happened to someone I know who bought a used backpack and then a few months later tried to travel with it. TSA stopped them bc the drug sniffer dogs went apeshit. They got very thoroughly searched :| Do you know how hard it is to explain that it really honest to gods "isn't mine man!" to the TSA?
Least fun parts of thrift shopping:
This thrift shop used to have jeans for like $3 and now everything is priced like it's new
Hear about a cool new thrift shop in town and you check it out and it's actually "vintage upcycling and consignment" so the shredded jorts are $250 on sale
This place used to get cool stuff but the tiktok haul resale people found it and now anything decent is snapped up and immediately resold for like $500 online
"Ooh this is cute" and then you check and it's shein
"Ooh this is cute" and then you check and it's Harry P*tter
The jacket of your dreams is in your price range but it's 3 sizes too small
Your absolute FAVOURITE thrifted item finally wears out beyond salvation and when you do research to maybe find a replacement it's been discontinued since 1983
Check the pockets and find used kleenex
STICKY THING
This was exactly what I was looking for but I can't get the weed remnants out
"This is obviously broken but I know how to fix it" (never fixes it)
#UGH yes to all the fast fashion trash. The prints are cute but the fabric is like cheap polyester lining material (like jacket liner)#This is why you gotta go out to the small town thrift shops#They all have sorta ridic pricing now but there are still gems to be found#My kid bought a pair of barely worn suede boots at the Goodwill for like $10#I looked them up because they looked expensive to me and they are $300 Italian leather boots#They're SUPER cute too#My mom found brand new $90 BOGS boots for my niece for $25 at a thrift store#She also found a new in box Instapot brand air fryer for $50 and it retails for $179#I found three huge sheets of Arches watercolor paper for $2.99 at a Goodwill. Not each. All three together.#Scored a bag of about 10 totally full Golden fluid acrylics for $5 at a cat shelter thrift store#Sample bottle size but still a good find#I once bought a romper for $3 and then found $5 in the pocket when I washed it. So basically I made $2 on the purchase#I did help a guy who was “picking” at the GW the other day because it can be a legit way to make money but I felt bad bc GW prices are craz#But I found a couple of books they had marked $4 and sell for $25+ on eBay and he was thankful#I think about doing it sometimes but OP's post is one reason I don't#Leave the good scores for those who deserve them!

We need a recovering know-it-all support group
#i AM getting better i swear to god#somebody donated their knitting kit to the shop today and at no point did i say ‘i have 18 years of knitting experience HAND IT OVER#and i’ll value it’. i had to let them dither and they priced it at £10 :/#which honestly.. there was a full set of needles in there so that would’ve been worth £5 alone#the patterns which were all just printed out and rolled up with an elastic band around them would’ve been worth very little though#same for the yarn which was acrylic and various different incomplete balls#the bag itself was fine. decently large project bag and it zipped up. £2 secondhand i’d say#working retail is really an exercise in getting over myself a lot of the time#you can’t have an ego when all you do is stab bad clothes with a pricing needle#personal

Opinion Here’s how to get free Paxlovid as many times as you need it
When the public health emergency around covid-19 ended, vaccines and treatments became commercial products, meaning companies could charge for them as they do other pharmaceuticals. Paxlovid, the highly effective antiviral pill that can prevent covid from becoming severe, now has a list price of nearly $1,400 for a five-day treatment course.
Thanks to an innovative agreement between the Biden administration and the drug’s manufacturer, Pfizer, Americans can still access the medication free or at very low cost through a program called Paxcess. The problem is that too few people — including pharmacists — are aware of it.
I learned of Paxcess only after readers wrote that pharmacies were charging them hundreds of dollars — or even the full list price — to fill their Paxlovid prescription. This shouldn’t be happening. A representative from Pfizer, which runs the program, explained to me that patients on Medicare and Medicaid or who are uninsured should get free Paxlovid. They need to sign up by going to paxlovid.iassist.com or by calling 877-219-7225. “We wanted to make enrollment as easy and as quick as possible,” the representative said.
Indeed, the process is straightforward. I clicked through the web form myself, and there are only three sets of information required. Patients first enter their name, date of birth and address. They then input their prescriber’s name and address and select their insurance type.
All this should take less than five minutes and can be done at home or at the pharmacy. A physician or pharmacist can fill it out on behalf of the patient, too. Importantly, this form does not ask for medical history, proof of a positive coronavirus test, income verification, citizenship status or other potentially sensitive and time-consuming information.
But there is one key requirement people need to be aware of: Patients must have a prescription for Paxlovid to start the enrollment process. It is not possible to pre-enroll. (Though, in a sense, people on Medicare or Medicaid are already pre-enrolled.)
Once the questionnaire is complete, the website generates a voucher within seconds. People can print it or email it themselves, and then they can exchange it for a free course of Paxlovid at most pharmacies.
Pfizer’s representative tells me that more than 57,000 pharmacies are contracted to participate in this program, including major chain drugstores such as CVS and Walgreens and large retail chains such as Walmart, Kroger and Costco. For those unable to go in person, a mail-order option is available, too.
The program works a little differently for patients with commercial insurance. Some insurance plans already cover Paxlovid without a co-pay. Anyone who is told there will be a charge should sign up for Paxcess, which would further bring down their co-pay and might even cover the entire cost.
Several readers have attested that Paxcess’s process was fast and seamless. I was also glad to learn that there is basically no limit to the number of times someone could use it. A person who contracts the coronavirus three times in a year could access Paxlovid free or at low cost each time.
Unfortunately, readers informed me of one major glitch: Though the Paxcess voucher is honored when presented, some pharmacies are not offering the program proactively. As a result, many patients are still being charged high co-pays even if they could have gotten the medication at no cost.
This is incredibly frustrating. However, after interviewing multiple people involved in the process, including representatives of major pharmacy chains and Biden administration officials, I believe everyone is sincere in trying to make things right. As we saw in the early days of the coronavirus vaccine rollout, it’s hard to get a new program off the ground. Policies that look good on paper run into multiple barriers during implementation.
Those involved are actively identifying and addressing these problems. For instance, a Walgreens representative explained to me that in addition to educating pharmacists and pharmacy techs about the program, the company learned it also had to make system changes to account for a different workflow. Normally, when pharmacists process a prescription, they inform patients of the co-pay and dispense the medication. But with Paxlovid, the system needs to stop them if there is a co-pay, so they can prompt patients to sign up for Paxcess.
Here is where patients and consumers must take a proactive role. That might not feel fair; after all, if someone is ill, people expect that the system will work to help them. But that’s not our reality. While pharmacies work to fix their system glitches, patients need to be their own best advocates. That means signing up for Paxcess as soon as they receive a Paxlovid prescription and helping spread the word so that others can get the antiviral at little or no cost, too.
