so i grew up pretty poor. like we'd be looking in the couch cushions for change in order to buy groceries poor. and one day my dad explained something to me, and looking back, it's probably the first thing that radicalized me
i think i was about 8 and he was driving us somewhere, and he explained the concept of "rich people spend less money, because they can afford to buy something nicer that lasts longer. poor people like us have to buy worse things that don't last as long and we need to buy it again. over time, the poor person spends more money, and that's why the poor stay poor." yes, he did use boots for the metaphor.
over the years I've seen that referenced. ive seen comics of it and people explaining the metaphor. maybe the first time i saw it i was a little surprised, but I don't think i ever assumed my dad had made it up. i think something he prefaced the analogy with implied he'd heard it somewhere else.
today was the day i learned it was from discworld. god i need to read those fuckin books
#vime's boot theory#the boot theory#discworld#i mean it's known that it's from it. i couldve looked it up. i just never bothered#i guess i always assumed it was just some addage#mine

Ughhhhh. There's this show I started about a week ago that I'm halfway through/has 3 episodes left that I'm trying to push myself through but guh.
#art talks about stuff#the fact that 1. an episode is half an hour long and 2. i give a fuck about maybe a single character are killing me#shame because i was looking forward to this#i know the old addage of ''if it sucks hit the bricks'' but i'm far enough in that i might as well see it to completion

Hans from Frozen voice: If only there were a fanfic writing god who loved you
@monotonecomplainyguy
I call upon the fan fic writing gods to bless you with the perseverance to finish one of your unfinished drafts.
May your fingers dance along the letters upon your device with ease, may the devil of distraction stay far from you, and may your work not need much editing.
I pass this blessing upon every fan fic writer out there.

SO
I am a nerd for The Last Ship.
I know there’s practically nobody on Tumblr who likes it, because most people say it’s U.S. military propaganda. They’re absolutely right, it is. But it’s also a great show and therefore I don’t care.
I’m also an RP nut. And my brain created an AU idea that I’d love to discuss. So, anyone who might actually like The Last Ship/want to RP it, feel free to PM!

#why bro#why are you putting your nose in those practices#why are you trying to play “color” Olympics?#most of atr is community based. my blood is similar to you#that means we are cousins#why not come together instead of being sketchy#the us vs them mentality does nothing except fuel people like trump. its an age old game to create strife for a divide and concer addage

Posts that will be funnier if it ever changes their name
it’s always “poor little meow meow” or “evil bastard” or “I could make him worse” what about men who are normal 🙄what about men who pay taxes and are well adjusted individuals and not at all insane
