#Three hundred fucking dollars

Text
Speaking of backpacks, I'm gonna tell y'all that my daily carry backpack is on sale for a reasonable price right now. I've had it for 4 years now and the only things I can complain about are that it doesn't fit my 17" laptop and that the fabric on the straps has ripped. But I take it EVERYWHERE. It's my hiking bag too. If you take care of it, it'll take care of you. (You will need to rough it up and then condition the leather to make it look ok, though)
#Might be the best $70 I ever spent#And the only reason I'm not getting another is because I'd want the bigger one to fit my work laptop#But those are three hundred dollars#Three hundred dollars!#Three hundred fucking dollars#So we wait

Okay Here Is The Problem: everything costs money and yet money is something that i just literally never have. solution? kill the idea of money so that nothing costs anything Please. i'm so tired
#despite making more money w/ my commissions than ever before this year#i am still. not able to save up literally even one (1) single penny of it bc of bills#i have to make like 600 every month just to break even at like 5 dollars in my acct#please i am so fucking tired#i want to get myself things and do shit#i want to buy things for archie and jack's dog and for the house so that things are better for all of us#i want to be able to afford snacks more than once every three months like if i maybe want a bag of chips#instead of saving up for three months and going 'yeah okay 5 dollars for a normal sized bag of chips is finally worth it' ?????????????????#why the fuck are chips so expensive that is potatoes and spices and like all of it is automated hello?? what are we fucking paying for?????#ANYWAYS.#i am just fucking. Tired#due to recent events I was like#'okay how much are dog treadmills.... oh. i see. i will never be able to afford that even after three years saving. got it'#there are five hundred fundraisers on my dash (BARELY hyperbole) every single day and everybody needs help#so i COMPLETELY get people not having a ton of disposable funds this isn't me complaining about that i'm just.#i wish that i sometimes had money so that i could MAYBE save anything up or y'know. have ANYTHING to show for it#bc right now i am working full time at this job (commission/freelance artist and adopt maker etc) and making like maybe 4 dollars an hour#which is great bc when i started i was only getting about $0.11 an hour but like. that's still not. Good. For all the time i put into it#but due to circumstances and situations this is about all i'm physically and mentally able to do here and i LIKE doing commission but it's#not really. getting me anywhere and i just want to afford things finally.#i'm 27 and everything i own fits in one room and almost all of it was gifted to me for free bc i couldn't afford to get it on my own#delete later i'm just so tired man

i will NEVER not be pissed that most colleges cost about 40k A YEAR on average and that if YOUR PARENTS make over 120k AS A GROSS INCOME you're practically immediately disqualified for need-based aid???? like do you really believe anybody can afford to throw an entire third of their annual income to their kid's schooling, when they probably have several thousands of dollars in loan debt themselves??? in THIS economy??? eggs are fucking $7 a dozen where i am right now but GOD FUCKING FORBID i get any financial aid because "well your upper class" NEWS FLASH 120K IS THE NEW MIDDLE CLASS AND JUST BECAUSE MY PARENTS MAKE OKAY MONEY NOW DOESN'T MEAN FUCK ALL WHEN I CAN REMEMBER ALL THE NIGHTS THEY DIDN'T EAT WHEN I WAS GROWING UP BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAD ENOUGH FOOD TO FEED ME AND MY SISTERS I need to hold everyone involved at gunpoint because i really don't think a single fucking one of them understands "oh but you have money :/" there's literally a reason i work FULL FUCKING TIME while double majoring and it's because my parents can't even send me money for fucking groceries, let alone fork out FORTY FUCKING THOUSAND DOLLARS GOD DAMN YEAR for a degree that'll be FUCKING WORTHLESS in three years anyway i worked my ASS off and graduated with a 4.7 to get scholarships because i knew that's the only way i'd realistically be able to afford school. and then the fucking fafsa goes "oh but you have money in your savings! you can pay for your own school" bitch i have 4k and it's for my fucking rent!!!! my parents have like $600 in savings do YOU SEE THE ISSUE that's what being forced into credit card debt for 20 years fucking does it puts you in an unescapable hole so even when you're making good money YOU DON'T GET SHIT!!!!!! NOT TO MENTION THE ABYSMAL CREDIT SCORES MY PARENTS HAVE SO GOOD FUCKING LUCK TRYING TO GET LOANS FOR ME!!! COSIGNER? I'VE NEVER HEARD OF HER IM GOING TO KILL PEOPLE!!!!!!
#sponsored by me working on transfer applications and the fafsa telling me to go fuck myself ✨✨#i need to strangle ever single fucking person in charge of uni pricing#give me ONE fucking reason your school costs 40k a year when you have thousands of undergrads#'non-profit' my FUCKING ASS lets do the math.#i currently go to a small school so 4500 undergrads (rounded down)#tuition ALONE is 43k. not to mention housing and food#but i'll be generous#so 4500 x 43000 = 193.500.000....which is ONE HUNDRED AND NINTY THREE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS??????#there's 315 full time faculty and 240 part time#i've talked to professors and the MOST tenured ones here make about 130k a year#so JUST FOR A MOMENT LETS ASSUME EACH FACULTY MAKES 130K.... (240+315)(130000) = 72.150.000#OKAY SO 193M - 73M = 120 MILLION LEFT OVER AND I KNOW GOD DAMN WELL THAT NOT ALL OF THAT GETS PUT BACK INTO THE SCHOOL#THE DECREPIT FALLING APART DORMS AND CLASSROOMS??? THERE ARE FUCKING RATS IN THE ONE BUILDING LIKE HUH?????#NOT TO MENTION THAT YOU ONLY PROVIDE HOUSING FOR 2 YEARS AND ARE LOCATED IN THE SECOND MOST EXPENSIVE CITY FOR RENTERS IN THE US...........#'we're non-profit :)' MOTHERFUCKERS WHERE IS THAT 120 MILLION DOLLARS FUCKING GOING THEN. EAT MY DICK

I have been feeling Not Great as of late, but there's something about Marcus Warner's Africa coming on shuffle and finally feeling like I have the energy to get up and do some of my chores, starting with making a cup of tea, which I mutter under my breath and say "life is too damn short and misty to not use the good tea" and break out my Most Expensive Tea from a friend a few years ago now. Only to find out that one of the teas in that set is the Boston tea, and I have two teaspoons of it left.
What a day for dysphoria, indeed.
#sg.txt#the tea is from albuquerque and would cost three hundred dollars to get it again#but fuck. sometimes it really is the music that reminds you that the pain isn't for nothing all the time#so i gotta get up. and keep moving.#course the next song on shuffle was emma blackery's the promise#NOT THE TIME EMMA. NOT THE TIME#(<- found the song from an anon many years ago trying to cheer me up)

separating dental insurance from normal medical coverage and making it fucking impossible to navigate is evil, actually
#i don't have a dentist rn because i have switched insurance 3 times in 3 years#and i just got my new insurance in january and i never got a fucking insurance card#anyway this tooth issue from a couple years ago came back in force last week#and so I'm trying to find someone to look at it but most places don't take emergency patients if you haven't been there before#half the dentists in my area are known for telling people they have 30 cavities so i do NOT want to walk in with an actual problem#and there's a dental urgent care but they don't say what insurance they take and my insurance phone tree is not telling me what is fucking#covered#jesus fucking christ#and I don't know if I'm looking at a couple hundred or ten thousand dollars here#i think this tooth is going to have to go eventually but i don't know if it has to go NOW#screaming#maybe i just do not eat any hot or cold food for the next three months????#op

hey. what the fuck is up with Ratchet and Clank merch
#ratchet and clank#I was like ‘I have literally three pieces of merch of R&C despite it being my special interest since elementary school I should fix that’#*goes online* the fucking horrors#what do you MEAN everything is at least $100 dollars or more??? excuse me???#the employee exclusive one is almost always over a thousand dollars. y’all see the one priced like a small car right.#the fucking PLUSHIES ARE A HUNDRED DOLLARS???#why.#the TINY FUCKING PIN IS $90????#btw the three pieces I have are the Funko Pops (I am not a huge Funko Pop person but I saw them release and pre-ordered them for my b-day)#and then the Ratchet and Clank art book. that is all#I have all of the games but like. that’s not /merch/ per se it’s the actual series content#actually I take it back I no longer have all the games bc I’m missing the very first game in physical copy + the PSP games + the PS4-5 ones#and I am the most fucking rabid Ratchet and Clank fan. I am autism insane about it. and I don’t have ANYTHING#do you see how much of a tragedy this is. do you understand how damaging this is to me every single day#that I do not have a Clank plushie to hold. a Ratchet plushie to keep him company. and an Alister Azimuth action figure to abuse.#my goal is to make that video essay I’ve had in my brain for years and make Insomniac feel so seen that they gift me something.#bc of the heartfelt please of a disabled poor person that has loved their series so much all their life#I’m going to punch through a steel wall

(Discussion over me reinstalling Windows onto my computer because my hard drive got corrupted)
Dad: So they gave you Windows 11 with your computer with no way to install it.
Me: I bought Windows 11 as a CD and (sisters boyfriend) luckily gave me Windows 10 as a flash drive before I had a cd player to install Windows 11. Making it so that I did not learn till now that you needed Windows 10 installed before you install Windows 11.
Dad: So they gave you Windows 11 with no way to install it?
Me: I bought it from the internet. No one else was involved.
#we built it *together*#he barely let me do anything#I payed for the entire thing with my own money#he didn’t show any respect towards it#would touch pieces in places you weren’t meant to touch#generally annoyed me the entire time#wouldn’t listen to what I was saying#I may have never built one but I did watch a video and do research#he built a small computer sometime between 1980 and the early 2000s#we built it in July/August of 2022#it’s a big gaming computer he didn’t know what he was doing but wouldn’t listen to me#my dad pisses me off#during this conversation it seems like he forgot *we* built it#An operating system didn’t come with it#operating systems only come with pre-made computers#stop speaking like a mysterious third person built my computer#he barely even let me touch it while *we* built it#he handled the parts with no respect it pissed me off so much#always acts like he payed for everything in this house#sure he works and my mom doesn’t so he does pay for most things but he isn’t responsible for paying for my computer so treat it with some#fucking respect stop handling it like it didn’t cost me over a thousand dollars like each part wasn’t over a hundred dollars#usually over two hundred commonly three hundred for a single part he acted like it was a cheap toy#rant in hashtags

Thoughts and prayers :) :) :)
When do we finally start sending these sewer rats to the guillotine
EDIT: This goes deeper than I thought. The city of Davenport is hurrying to demolish the building even though there are still missing residents and they literally just found a still-living woman in the rubble who would have certainly been killed if the demolition went forward. There are currently protestors raising hell in Davenport about this.
This is disgusting and suspicious as hell. I'm seeing Davenport residents talk about how the politicians of their town are corrupt and are likely trying to cover this incident up while not caring if they end up killing people in the process (because, again according to residents, Davenport's infrastructure has been falling apart for many years).
#also a THREE HUNDRED dollar fine are you FUCKING kidding me?????#a woman literally had to get one of her legs amputated to escape the rubble from this entirely preventable collapse#and you're fining for the retail price of a Nintendo Switch????#fuck everyone involved except for the victims and the first responders#at this point I don't even only want justice for all the wrongs done in the world by evil people I want BLOOD#apartment collapse#iowa#news#politics#davenport iowa
