Dirk: Kinda fucked up and nasty how vampires drink blood, imo. Like. Pepsi costs a dollar seventy five
John: Where are you getting pepsi for $1.75???? that shits like $2.30 MINIMUM
Dirk: Hospital
Roxy: who the fuck is paying 2.30 for a pepsi?
Dirk: Not me, I’m paying a dollar seventy five. At the hospital.
Jake: I pay like $2.50 but I’m Canadian
Dirk: I feel like we’re getting off topic
Rose: Blood is free?
Dave: so is pepsi if you steal it?
Jade: why is… why is dirk getting his pepsi from the hospital?
Dirk: because it’s only a dollar seventy five
Jake: Why in God’s name would a vampire drink pepsi?
Dave: why would anyone drink pepsi?
Jane: That’s why I’m not a fan of the sexy vampire trope. 1. It’s overused and supports the current status quote of typical vampire supremacy: worshiping rich folk. 2. Vampires prey upon humans and therefore symbolize capitalists preying on the working class. 3. Werewolves are much sexier imo.
John: Am i having a stroke?
Roxy: u might wanna go to the hospital then.
Dave: ihear the pepsi is cheaper there.
#submission#homestuck#incorrect homestuck quotes#dirk strider#john egbert#roxy lalonde#jake english#rose lalonde#jade harley#dave strider#jane crocker#mod terezi#i used to work for a hospital and i can confirm the pepsi is indeed cheaper there

I hate being sick when it’s excruciatingly hot outside. I’m running a fever and I can’t even do anything. My hm is asleep on the couch, where the ac is, so I’m stuck in my room. Just laying here waiting for time to pass.
#I ate pb and jam sandwich for sometime day in a row#something day in a row**#my tummy is not gonna be happy w me#I don’t have the capacity to call around the local vets for a cheaper quote for shaving my cats coat down#I just have to lay here sweating and choking on my own sinus goo#I’m not doing good if you can’t tell#xmas is in a couple days and I have $40 to last the next fortnight#I will be spending my xmas alone and sick and hungry#why is this my life#I don’t want this#I feel so fucking trapped#I feel like I’m suffocating

day before surgey and the surgey center is trying to say the bill is almost $3k more then quoted and if it's not paid surgey is canceled. My Dr's office is calling out their BS but the surgey center is telling them they fixed it but every on my end is showing the new price but they inisit it's been fixed. My Dr's office is telling me not to pay the new price and that the surgey will continue but even with the anti anxiety medications I'm still stress and loopy as fuck
#it's a me me#this has been booked for MONTHS and you call me less then 24 hours before surgey to collect on almost 4k with no notice#i have the money so it'll be fine if i need to but wtf#like it's actually supposed to be cheaper then originally quoted since they did the quote wrong but the SC is the last bill to pay#and they'll suddenly holding everything hostage#catch my ass sueing if surgey doesn't through if they don't fix it in time

a merchandising market i think is missing from the audio drama community is bookmarks. official or unofficial tbh i just think that would be so cool
#the whole dichotomy of books being visual vs podcasts being auditory probably just makes this entire idea a bit silly#and maybe i'm a bit biased anyways because i love bookmarks#but the POSSIBILITIES!!!#much more design variety than stickers and cheaper than art prints/posters#better opportunity for quotes + show motifs alongside the obvious show logos/titles and the like#finch chirps#audio drama#fiction podcasts#audio fiction

It's amazing how quickly you can make someone turn on your company by making a stupid and insulting move
Force me to go through the front door and scan my card when I have backdoor business that never needed a card before (what? ...I was going to somehow... sneak in and... purchase things with a borrowed card? ...which I totally can't do from the front door after scanning it?)
Or like... twitterify your layout right after your users give you a bunch of money just cause they like you, and then refuse to walk it back
...or all the other things companies do that just kinda piss people off and then they refuse to acknowledge maybe it sucks and is stupid cause "hey, the customers didn't leave"... yeah... yet
#legit; as small as it is it gives me a hint at the direction things will head and that costco will get more and more anti consumer#and I'm in minutes going from an 'I love costco; it's how I afford to eat; go get a cheap pizza'#to 'you know costco is kinda frustrating and annoying and I don't trust their ceo... I'm not sure if it's worth your time and money'#like look back and; tumblr search willing; you'll find posts of me singing costco's praises; literal free advertising#cause while it's not right for everyone; man is it so much cheaper than places like walmart#but... I legit don't know if I can recommend it anymore#for one thing; when I signed up I just spotted the members desk; walked in the backdoor up to the desk; and gave them money#now... what? you gotta ask permission? I feel like there's a chilling effect on wanting to join... at least for my socially anxious ass#and again; I just whiff this as like when games companies add DRM that breaks the game... for people who actually pay for it#they're making me suffer a pain in the ass for no reason cause someone might not be giving them money#and now that person never will give them money... and frankly... if they don't pay the membership but spend $500 how much did you lose?#but like I said; I feel it in the air; that costco will start doing more and more anti consumer stuff#...do I think it's a good idea to join up when they're gonna slowly start turning this corner?#I mentioned that quote by the founder about killing them if they raise the price of the hotdog#but... the fact the founder felt the need to say that to begin with told me something#kinda gotten the impression that the ceo is greedy as hell and wants to drain the consumer (so... a normal ceo)#and this just smacks of netflix/disney#oh... did you hear about disney killing someone with a food allergy despite being told about it multiple times like when the dish arrived?#and now disney is trying to forced arbitrate cause they had a disney+ trial in 2019#you hear about that one? cause that's a real news story; I'll find you an article if you don't believe it#anyway; this smacks of cracking down on password sharing to make up for hypothetical lost revenue#and let me tell you... if I could switch to pirating my groceries I would; I would download eggs#so this doesn't change costco fundamentally; but it does make it feel more hostile and like it doesn't trust me#it makes things feel more adversarial instead of like a partnership where they get me good prices on good things and I give money#and I just wouldn't be surprised if they start doing more things I don't like#things that make things worse... things like raising prices to increase their profit#...makes me want to... work on figuring out how to make everything myself since no company is trustworthy#they'll all turn on you in the end; the moment the wrong person takes charge they'll start to metastasis#towards the cancer of infinite profits#not saying don't go to costco... I'm saying don't get attached if you do; I think they're ready to do what every company does these days

Well, now is probably as good a time as ever to give up on binding, because I’ve officially bruised my ribs, or at least the tissue surrounding them. I took the damn thing off hours ago and I’m STILL struggling to breathe. I’ve only got two ice packs; there’s a ring of pain all the way around me and I’m having to alternate the packs to cover it all. 😅
The fuck did this even come from?? Up until like two or three weeks ago I’d never experienced top dysphoria for more than a few hours at a time, and never this bad…
#my girlfriend suggested a custom-tailored binder and I found a company that makes them with higher necks and arm holes upon request#but at this point I’m just too discouraged. I genuinely don’t think it would matter#another person suggested TransTape which is cheaper but they stressed that it’s hard to get the hang of#but it’s apparently — and I quote — ‘really your only shot beyond surgery’. so 🙃#peaches screams into the void

I'm doing my budget for the year starting when I move and wtf...this is scary...
#for months I've been living very month-to-month with my sole focus of paying off my loans#and I knew I'd have enough to cover my bases plus a little extra for takeout and art and travel#so I haven't sat back and actually written every single expense out#but since this rent is so insane and I have to get a new couch and I want a cat AND I want to do the judo membership#whew that adds up#went to this couch place - it's lovesac - the other day#had a great time playing around with the little magentic models and chatting w the guy#at the end they're like we have a quote for you it'll be seven THOUSAND dollars#I was like 😭😭😭 okay...#I can go for cheaper fabric and the less expensive cushion and a smaller couch#which is good bc my place is tiny anyway#and with sales and discount it may only be like 3k. but STILL. jesus.#anyway I don't actually know what my pay bump will be but I suppose I'll know in May so I hope it's good 🤞#cor.txt

I sometimes have to argue our suppliers into lowering their prices at work and it’s prepared me so well for having to wrangle the tv off my mum. If I can say “hmm well if you can do it for four grand you can have the job” I can promise to do the washing up in exchange for a few hours of uninterrupted football
#my coworker does it every day and she’s so good at it she’s like ‘this quote… i don’t like the price. can we have it cheaper please.’#AND IT WORKS

Not to sound like an overdramatic sadboi but. I think. It would be nice to be someone's first choice. Just once I would like to be a priority, for someone to specifically choose me. I think that would feel really good.
#cw vent#i guess#idk especially after highschool ive been feeling kinda lonely#all my friends sorta moved on without me#and then the asshole we don't talk about tried to pressure me into an open relationship#(that i was NOT comfortable with by the way)#and eventually just straight up cheated on me because#and i quote#i just wasnt enough for him on my own#i think that probably left some emotional scarring huh#so now my social life compromises of just tagging along with my sib when they're doing something cool#and I'm cripplingly shy and meeting new people is terrifying#so feeling like an afterthought is pretty much my main state of being rn#its been a theme my whole life but recently it's been louder#and it just kinda hurts#a lot#anyway venting on the internet is cheaper than therapy so#fi talks

GOOD NEWS! I called my insurance and they found an in-network imaging center that's 1) closer to me and 2) WILL COST HALF THE PRICE OF THE FIRST PLACE. You don't even know how much better I feel rn. I called to cancel my appointment at this other place but I had to leave a voice mail. But once that's done I can get my doctor to send the order to this other place instead 🙏🏻
#personal#i hate american healthcare#like. with a passion#it's sad that the cost at this new place is still not cheap but it's WAY cheaper than what I was quoted at the other place

First world problems etc
#Bougie whining#I am compelled to finally dye my hair bright colours#To stave off and celebrate the brain demons#I'm trying to shop around for a hair dresser to do the lightening but the first one quoted me $400#And like I'm textually bougie but like that doesn't mean I can spend 400 to Be Purple#Anyway yeah so I'm still trying to make it happen just cheaper#But I realised last night that I need to make an appointment with a mortgage broker#And ive thus far had not super experiences with being respected properly by Suit People#So it would probably be too on the nose and unwise#To turn up with bubblegum pink hair and very obviously with my SD#Like. He's not. But what other conclusion are people going to make?#At least that adds to the motivation for having a tight timeline#Need to get this adulting admin appointment going shit done#So I can get to the other side and Be Purple#My life#My posts

Yaaaay i made it on time for my brake appointment at 2pm even tho I didn't know where the place was *dies*
#It was pretty easy to get here I'm getting a lot better at knowing where I am here#And this place was like WAY cheaper to change out my brake pads than the other places I called earlier for a quote#So hopefully all goes well

Do any Canadians on here use a freight (mail/package) forwarding service from the US? If you do is it worth it or does the cost of shipping from them pretty much equal what the shop would offer anyway?
#one example:#I want to buy a $3.50 button#less than 5cm/2" big#and shipping is quoted at $24#which is insane#I can get things shipped to me cheaper from Europe and Japan etc. than I can from the US#Canada#shipping#mail forwarding#freight forwarding
