Every so often I run face first into examples of just how disgustingly wasteful capitalism is. >:[
Our car got a fist-sized dent in the roof at the start of April. We had a nasty ice storm and a piece fell from a tree and cratered it (kind of scary to imagine if we’d been out there when it fell, too).
It’s right along where the hatchback door lines up with the roof and was starting to leak. So we called the insurance company and took it to a body shop for an estimate.
We heard back today it will be eleven THOUSAND dollars to fix. Because they legally have to replace the roof panel, not just hammer the dent out or something. That costs more than 80% of what the car is worth, so the insurance has declared the car totaled. This is a perfectly functional 2018 vehicle, in otherwise excellent condition. Totaled. Over a single fucking dent. And state laws don’t allow us to insure a totaled vehicle for any reason.
It’s so pointless and fucking wasteful. I hate this. I hate this so much.

Those people: Stop making everything gay! Let us just for once have piece of media focused on male friendship.
Me, an intellectual: There has been media focused on male friendship since the epic of Gilgamesh. Now give me a man and woman of the same ethnicity that can stay just friends for a whole movie.

got into a convo with my family this morning that started with politics and philosophy and ended up spiraling into a rant about the nature of goodness and none of that is actually important eXCEPT that it reminded me of the ‘without hope without witness without reward’ quote and this all leads me to what I want to say which is—
I have realized that that line ^ is the standard by which I measure any portrayal of River Song. if there’s a story about her that doesn’t convince me that a) this is a person who could and would write that OR b) this is a person who can become the kind of person who writes that, then it’s not going to work for me.

my coworkers are so mean with the way they talk about kids sometimes :(
like yeah that is a dumb minor insignificant issue and yeah maybe it is a “home problem” but a school problem but it was clearly a huge issue for that girl at that moment and she can’t just “turn off” big feelings just because she’s at school and it was something that happened before school :(
