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.
#I don’t know where I’m going here other than I’m sick of living under late stage capitalism#the system is so broken#we’d happily take it back with a functional but ugly repair job#but that isn’t allowed apparently#insurance is required to ‘make it whole’#and that means throwing it away for a new one#I hate it I hate it I hate it

Hello praying people, I'm not doing well and would really appreciate your prayers right now <3
#long very boring and unnecessarily detailed tag monologue incoming‚ feel free to skip:#this is going to sound like a silly thing to be hitting rock bottom over#but i’m fairly certain i have a semi-rare skin condition known as sensitive skin syndrome#which is basically where skin gets progressively more sensitive#until it won’t tolerate the topical application of anything at all without getting irritated#usually it happens to people on the skin of their face and i have it there but i also specifically have it on my lips#(which apparently is extremely not normal; i found a dermatologist’s case study from like 2019 of one woman who had it on her lips#and according to this case study there were no other cases of people having it on their lips#in all the dermatological literature he had read)#i can’t follow the protocol which all the journal articles i’ve been able to find say is helpful for the rest of the face which is basicall#leave the area the heck alone for at least a year#because if i don’t apply anything to my lips for more than two or three days they will get so dry they crack and bleed#so it’s looking like one way or another i may be having to deal with dry burning irritated lips for the rest of my life#and i’m not dealing with the thought of that very well#i’ve already suffered so much anguish from extreme sensitivity on the rest of my face#and not being able to take proper care of the skin there#and this is just too much for me#i know God is allowing this for a reason but it’s filling me with so much frustration and panic and despair that i don’t know how to go on#but i must and i will#this isn’t a serious or a life-threatening condition but it’s looking like a pretty hopeless one and it’s hurting me badly#and i would appreciate prayers that it would just be healed or that i would know what to do#i think i will try going to my dermatologist but somehow i doubt she's even heard of sensitive skin syndrome#on a COMPLETELY unrelated note i'm just about to get my period and also for two days i've ''eaten'' nothing but vegetable smoothies#and those in pretty small amounts because they're disgusting#(do a detox my hormonal health doctor said)#(it'll be fun she said)#ok if you read this far you're so brave braver than any u.s. marine etc.#thanks for reading ily <3

Going through a straight up comical amount of irritating situations to get the stupid 4* guaranteed ticket from the welcome to sekai campaign. It Will Be Mine.
#I’m resuming this tomorrow it’s been hours now I’m just mad#I’m home because my parents are moving to a different state and I needed to pack whatever was left#and for some reason we just keep old devices when we’re done with them#so I borrow an adapter to allow me to connect my ancient unworking iPad mini to my laptop#factory reset it. i have to reset an old email to access the old Apple id to fully reset it.#it won’t connect to the wifi so I have to reset the settings. i find out it’s too old to run pjsk.#i find an old phone that should work. i reset it as well. I’m able to download pjsk & it takes 20 minutes.#pjsk crashes everytime I try to open it. i attempt to run bluestacks on my computer. bluestacks doesn’t have 64 bit for mac yet.#i get a free trial of parallels and download windows onto my laptop. this takes 40 minutes.#i try to download and run bluestacks on that. m1 macs apparently can’t run bluestacks 64 bit through parallels.#i go find the final old phone that I had forgotten about. it takes forever to charge because the charging port is fucked up. i reset it as#well. it can’t connect to wifi. i try a hotspot on my current phone. service is too awful. i try to do wifi sharing from my laptop.#you have to be connected to the router via a cable for that to work.#at this point it has been like 3 hours. I’m giving up because I’ve been down this route before#when I attempted to run 32 bit steam games on m1 mac#(wine64 doesn’t exist for m1 macs yet -> attempt to run boot camp -> boot camp isn’t a thing anymore on Apple silicon -> attempt to run#several different programs that allow me to run windows on a mac. none of them work. ->#look into linux & give up. -> attempt to implement the unfinished/unbottled wine64 code thru terminal. ->#fuck up and delete some important file & have to fix that (misery inducing) -> keep trying. i think I downloaded a Mac coding program at#some point? i realize I have zero coding knowledge and this is a mistake. -> give up and purchase crossover. game doesn’t even work. ->#3 months later update to the latest OS so I can have enough storage to play psychonauts 2. find out the $60 crossover#purchase was a bad idea because ‘heehee crossover doesn’t work on that buy the new version’ (fuck crossover).#my toxic trait is my belief that I can figure out anything via google and sheer stubbornness. usually this is true. occasionally there are#exceptions to this rule. most of them are because owning Apple products is a mistake.#i think if I reset the router tomorrow I can solve this problem but I can also just go elsewhere with better service or wait until I’m home#now it’s a matter of pride. and also free 4*/I have nothing better to do because I’m stuck here until Tuesday.#<- this is all normal behavior by the way. who doesn’t spend 8 hours ramming their head against a problem every once and a while. enrichment#mine#oh I forgot. i also looked into cloning the app but that would cost money for something that might not even work.#‘just log out and make an alt’ and risk losing my account? I’m stupid enough to overwrite it on accident.

I’m glad my expectations for Veilguard were low, especially from a writing perspective, because instead of anger now I only feel disappointment that even my already low bar wasn’t met.
#The writers have whinged/bragged on Twitter for years about how generally G-rated it’s going to be and they were right!#They were right :)#Nothing bad is ever going to happen. Just an amalgamation of inoffensive fantasy tropes. Just ‘keeping it light’ as one of my friends sai#Listen I wasn’t expecting everything to be Grimdark Fantasy but it would have been nice if Weekes et al could have acknowledged#That their audience doesn’t solely consist of sheltered twelve-year-olds#Meaningful conflict? Don’t know her apparently and now the audience isn’t allowed to know her either. A tad rude.#I was really excited for certain companions like Emmerich and Lucanis too.#When the writers said ‘we don’t want people to make decisions that we personally would disagree with’#‘Because that means those players support those bad decisions IRL’ (hello modern version of the moralistic ‘video games cause violence’ bit#I believed them and gave up hope for non-juvenile writing. There’s just something so condescending about it all.#Everything is just spelled out for you. Everything is just told and not shown. I feel like my hand is being held#Because the writers think we’re too stupid for nuance or subtlety and they want to make sure we’re getting their message.#Trust me: we get it. It’s about as subtle as a sledgehammer.#Dragon Age: The Daycare Simulator#Disappointing.#Ten years of waiting for… an incredibly subpar project when I know they can do so much better.#Yet again no meaningful choices. The characters spell everything out for you like you’re a toddler in need of daddy’s guidance.#It all just feels empty.#There’s a lack of real/meaningful roleplay elements.#You can either be Nice; Nice and Stern; Nice and Sarcastic/Jokey. Just. Ugh. So watered down. Bland.

hmm okay so i probably won’t make swim team. and even if i do, will I be able to do it?
#okay so ignoring my iffy chances of actually making the team#apparently not swimming on my period isn’t acceptable#which means I’d have to use tampons#which my mother is STRICTLY against#maybe I’ll still be allowed on the team?#but why would they waste their time on a slower person who isn’t allowed to wear tampons?#eugh

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.
#heteronormativity#straight culture#the same ethnicity bit is important because apparently black men and white women can only ever be just friends no matter what#not just talking about finnrey but yeah finnrey#but overall I’m just tired of the idea that there isn’t enough male friendship in media#and that a rare resource is exhausted every time someone thinks two male characters should kiss#even if you want to argue that Gilgamesh and Enkidu hooked up and were a romance as well#fact is that it’s still a relationship between two men where romance isn’t necessarily driving the story#there are wanishingly few m/f relationships that even allow for a non romantic interpretation#in media#the idea that any romance outside the cookie cutter norm is ‘political’#it’s all so tiresome#gilgamesh

“Rich white boy when he’s a thousand other things” what is he that negates the traits listed. Quickly.
#what about him screams middle class to you#not as rich as Bruce doesn’t bump him down to middle class 💀#like that feels like the basis of their entire point and it’s flimsy bc Bruce is literally cartoonishly rich#like#Lex isn’t as rich as Bruce so lex should be middle class#depending on the iteration Lex is also new money but y’all would never get on this or any other app and say if DC was rebooted he should be#middle class 💀#and it’s like. wealth DOES interact how you speak to and about people#ignoring how Tim’s wealth may impact his character is similar to ignoring how Jason’s lack of it impacted his#but then again they apparently think if it’s not shoved in ur face it’s not important#Nevermind the venerated Drake estate private schools and financial security that allowed for him to do whatever he wanted#that’s just physical shit but they’ll call the mental shit fanon bc some white man didn’t sit down and tell you being rich can make u kinda#mean sometimes#not that they’d ever think Tim can be mean#see the circles they have to go in

sooo done with all this fitz hate
#fitz could’ve gotten really mad at the sokeefe kiss but no he told sophie how he was feeling and they talked it out like mature people#but apparently he’s not allowed to feel sad at all that his ex kissed someone else?? who doesn’t feel at least a little bit hurt over that#also i think he was expecting that sophie would get back together with him once she was ready so the kiss was like being broken#up with a second time but this time for good#also i GUARANTEE YOU if fitz’s and keefe’s positions in sophie’s love life were reversed they’d react to sophie dating the other pretty#much exactly the same as the other did#fitz isn’t overreacting. it’s different circumstances#there’s a difference between your crush dating someone else and your ex that you though was going to date you again when she was ready to#kissing someone else#ALSO fitz constantly reminds sophie they’re cognates because he’s been raised in an environment where he’s told that he as a#person doesnt matter‚ just his talents and abilities and what he can do#and he thinks if sophie forgets that they’re cognates she wont care about him anymore. he thinks his cognate status is the only reason#sophie cares about him. and if he can’t offer that‚ what can he offer?#blame elven society and the vacker legacy and the pedestal he was placed on before he was even born. but don’t blame him#kotlc spoilers#stellarlune spoilers#rant in tags#kinda#kotlc#fitz vacker

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 :(
#apparently she had to wait until she was 10 till watch a H*rry P*tt*r movie and her dad insisted on that#but her little sister isn’t 10 yet and SHE was allowed to watch it and older sis was so upset about it and had a full meltdown in the office#over it and they were talking abt it like she was silly for it#and like idk I still remember how angry I was when my sister got to do something I’d had to wait for younger than me#and I was 10#and idk these kids#but to me that also sounds like a bigger issue with inequality between siblings than just the movie#and also?! this kid from what I could gather is like 11-12#so potentially heading into being a hormonal teenager#but idk they all seemed to be in agreement how silly it was :(#and then they complain about how these kids have no emotional resilience but they also don’t do anything to teach them strategies to manage#big feelings#it’s just ‘you’re fine stop crying’ and like they’re clearly not fine bc they’re crying#even if it is just a that was scary + you need those feelings acknowledged#complaining

mostro lounge having a giant tank where the tweels can do their lil eel thing in and it truly is an exquisite ambience until they end up in a tussle which involves gracelessly slamming into the reinforced glass.
#I was talking to bun abt this last night#but Azul would not allow it eel on eel violence isn’t good for buisness#😔🙌#apparently students betting on who will win isn’t a good thing ???#ooc /#twst /
