my mom recently started watching new girl which means we all are watching new girl now and let me fucking tell you. this schmidt fellow is one of the biggest faggots i’ve ever seen. me and my brother often work ourselves up to genuine anger every time he says any word because he’s just That gay and the show seems to have No idea. the whole show in general is just bizarrely polyamorous and they’re all in love but his homosexuality in particular is aggravating

It’s a simple process, really; you walk up to the console, enter a number, and either the microchip implanted in your body at birth immediately kills you or a little slot underneath the screen pops out a wad of cash and you move on with your life.

The lines were long, so you had plenty of time to people watch. Most people walked away with nothing; anything short of 90% chance of sudden death wouldn’t get you any money, and less than $1000 was just not worth it, even for teenagers who thought they were invincible. Only a few people actually took the risk. You could tell which ones they were by how they tensed right before hitting the confirmation button at the bottom of the screen. And then went entirely limp as they crumpled to the ground, losing their gamble. Not one of them got their money.

As the person in front of you stepped up to the console, you idly wondered if the cash slots still worked, or if they had rusted closed from disuse. Or maybe there never even was any money in there.

And suddenly, it was your turn. You stepped up to the console, palms slightly sweaty. Of course, you had no intention of taking any chances, but it was still a little nerve-wracking to be only one typo away from death. There was a fingerprint scanner and a small number pad underneath the screen, which was black with three large words printed across it in white: "ENTER YOUR NUMBER."

You swallowed, scanned your thumb on the scanner, and used the number pad to do just that: 0. Just to be safe, you entered a few more 0's, a period, and some more 0's. Wouldn't want something weird to happen with unfilled digits. You hit the "enter" key on the number pad and held your breath.

The console's message changed: "CALCULATING REWARD..." It would come out to 0, then announce that you were free to--

The screen suddenly went blue, and from the sounds of protest from the people around you, yours wasn't the only one. As the technicians -- who were really just there to tote out the corpses of the foolish -- worked their way through the crowd, white text appeared on the screen:

Error on line 15:

Illegal operation: divide by 0

When a technician finally reached your side, he took one look at the console and cursed. "God dammit, who's the asshole who put in 0?!"

"Um... that may have been me," you admit sheepishly. You had no idea what was going on; of the hundreds of teenagers at the consoles before you who had also refused to risk death, not one of them had broken the machine, but somehow you had?

The technician shot you a disparaging look as he pulled a foldable keyboard out of his pocket and plugged it into a port hidden on the side of the console. "Seriously? Couldn't you have just jumped off of a building like a normal person? You didn't have to come in here and break our machine..."

The technician started tapping away at his keyboard, still grumbling, while your brain worked furiously to figure out what he was talking about. Why would he think you were suicidal for entering 0? You entered 0 because you wanted 0% chance of death--

Your heart skipped a beat as you realized. The number the machine wanted wasn't chance of death -- you were supposed to tell it your chance of life. Every person ahead of you who had made the same choice had entered 100%; you, on the other hand, had asked the machine for certain death.

In a daze, you watched the console screen as the technician worked. Instead of its usual simple, almost menacing black interface, it now displayed the rolling hills of a version of Windows older than you were with a terminal window pulled up in the corner. You didn't know much about coding, but you suspected that the mere 20 lines of code pulled up in the terminal were the entirety of what ran the machine.

The technician groaned. "Are you kidding me?! Why does it decide the money before it even decides if the person is going to live to see it?! And there's not any kind of error handling! How has it taken this long for the machine to break? I'd heard that it was shitty, but I didn't think it was this bad!"

You barely understood a word of what he said, but you did get the important part: you had asked the machine for certain death and been spared by a technical error. With a few more key presses on the technician's keyboard, the console returned to its original screen. The technician folded his keyboard away and turned to go.

"Wait...!" you called after him. "What should I do?"

The technician sighed and turned around. "Well, you can't use the console again -- the machine already marked your fingerprints as used," he told you. "At least there's an actual database hooked up to this thing so we didn't lose everything when it crashed," he added under his breath. The technician returned to his normal volume. "You're not getting any money, if that's what you're asking. Just be grateful you still have your life and get out of here."

His expression softened. "And, maybe take it as a new lease on life?" He put a hand on your shoulder. "I promise you, kid, life can be tough, but it's almost always worth living. Don't forget that, okay?" He awkwardly pat your shoulder before walking back to his post at the edge of the room.

You took his advice and left the room, truly grateful to be breathing in a way that, suicidal or not, you never had been before.

At 18 everyone must go to “the machine” and choose a percent that represents the odds the machine will not euthanize you. Those who live are granted 1000/(x^5) dollars. You confuse the meaning of the numbers and become the first person to ever put 0, but when the machine activates, you survive.

meowing about the concept of old money!sukuna .

sukuna ryomen x fem reader

tw — kuna is like 48, modern non curse au, sukuna rich, ooc sukuna kinda

old money!sukuna is a wealth whispers type of man. He didn’t work this hard in his life to act like some snobby overly cocky asshole about his wealth. He’s a mature older man, still a bit full of himself but with class and etiquette.

old money!sukuna shows he lives in luxury without screaming it like others. The theme of his rich black and red house interior design in each room show it, even people he surrounds himself with too show he’s a man of fine taste. With you on his arm in a dark purple cocktail dress, simple but classy to show the type of man he is to others.

old money!sukuna doesn’t take disrespect lightly from anyone, especially rich boys with their trust funds visiting the country. When some young man in a backwards hat and light brown shorts think he has the audacity to disrespect him in his own restaurant it nearly makes him chuckle.

When the boy decides to do a petty move by throwing a drink on you that’s when he gets to teaching a young man about class.

Outside of his restaurant in his back alley he teaches this boy with his hands grabbing his collar while the poor guy was against a cold dark wall and all that was in his field of vision was pink slicked back hair and angry eyes.

“I don’t know where you brats with your daddy’s money come from thinking you can act any damn way but you’ve got that shit wrong. Disrespect my wife or any of my employees and I’ll have your ass flamed, got it? He says it with a calm voice still but it gets through to the scared young man.

@chaosandtwo I’m not reblogging that post again but your addition was really interesting tbh and it made me think about how there are some white chars or white fictional families that are like, really really white who I do as a Pakistani-American feel echo like… relatable Desi American familial traits some of the time?? idk if I’m phrasing that quite right but like for instance Gilmore Girls obviously the Gilmores are really privileged white people yet there are customs and expectations they have that feel soo close to home to me like the episode where Emily and Richard manipulate Rory to come to a party because she thinks she’s supporting them getting along again and in fact they’re trying to set her up with several suitors because they invited all boys and no girls.. or a lot of conflict reactions and appearance consciousness. Feel that with some aspects of The Hastings in pll too with their image consciousness/perfectionism (and then you have a poc family in the Fields who have some similar values for different reasons / that manifest differently). While at the same time there are things the chars get away with I never would like obviously Rory’s infamous yacht theft or Spencer’s Radley treatment which would not have gone that way if she were a poc and not extremely wealthy, so I get why say Rory would be talked about as a char who is only relatable to white gifted kid burnouts (and there’s def a discussion to be had about that gifted kid syndrome thing being.. maybe not inherently white but tied to whiteness) but I obviously don’t feel that way / don’t agree since I do find a lot to relate to there (you can relate to something while still being aware of facets that are different from you. imo).

I never really thought about Gansey in that way but yeah, I see what you mean.

ode to a faux grecian urn

Howdy everyone,

Today's house, built in 2001, comes to you from, you guessed it, the Chicago suburbs. The house is a testimony to traditional craftsmanship and traditional values (having lots of money.) The cost of painting this house greige is approximately the GDP of Slovenia so the owners have decided to keep it period perfect (beige.) Anyway.

This 5 bedroom, 7.5 bathroom house clocks in at a completely reasonable 12,700 square feet. If you like hulking masses and all-tile interiors, it could be all yours for the reasonable price of $2.65 million.

The problem with having a house that is 12,700 square feet is that they have to go somewhere. At least 500 of them were devoted to this foyer. Despite the size, I consider this a rather cold and lackluster welcome. Cold feet anyone?

The theme of this house is, vaguely, "old stuff." Kind of like if Chuck E Cheese did the sets for Spartacus. Why the dining room is on a platform is a good question. The answer: the American mind desires clearly demarcated space, which, sadly, is verboten in our culture.

The other problem with a 12,700 square foot house is that even huge furniture looks tiny in it.

Entering cheat codes in "Kitchen Building Sim 2000" because I spent my entire $70,000 budget on the island.

Of course, a second sitting room (without television) is warranted. Personally, speaking, I'm team Prince.

I wonder why rich people do this. Surely they must know it's tacky right? That it's giving Liberace? (Ask your parents, kids.) That it's giving Art.com 75% off sale if you enter the code ROMANEMPIRE.

Something about the bathroom really just says "You know what, I give up. Who cares?" But this is not even the worst part of the bathroom...

Not gonna lie, this activates my flight or fight response.

If you remember Raggedy Ann you should probably schedule your first colonoscopy.

Anyways, that does it for the interior. Let's take a nice peek at what's out back.

I love mowing in a line. I love monomaniacal tasks that are lethal to gophers.
